Griezmann spoke today with United to explain that following the decision of the TAS he can't leave because of his attachment to the Atleti.
What a tart this lad is. Reminds of Eden when he wasn't on the move.
Go all in for Sanchez now.
Go all in for Sanchez now.
Ahoy!
Gutted.
I wouldn't trust him as far as I could fling him if I was an AM fan. Changes his tune like the fecking weather.
When can we burn acquire me at the stake?
feck off Atleti and your ducking transfer ban
Last year 3 points off. Weren't at the races this season, yet still finished a solid 3rd - again much better than what we managed.
They're a better team than us. No two-ways about it.
Hate to say it, but these remarks are drowning in their own irony.
Apparently he wasn't... if we wanted him, we'd activate the clause and get him.
I think it's clear something else has come along and we're turning away from Griezmann and moving on to someone else. Possibly the transfer ban, Atletico not willing to structure the deal, who knows.
Does seem to me that it's United thats pulled the plug and both United and Griezmann are now saving face.
Never bought it. A left-footed attacker would have mean a balanced front 3 which Mourinho resists at all costs.
Weather in Madrid or Manchester?
The only good thing to come out of this is that you mindless drones stop flocking to this person as if they have holy knowledge
Oh well. At least it's early so we have time for other targets.
At least now all the feckwits will climb down off acquire me's dick.
This thread just morphed into blended muppet cocktail
We got rejected rather than 'moving on'. I was convinced this was a done deal but so it goes.
No too disappointed, even though I wanted him, do think a no.9 is more important, so provided we get a good one, I'm not that bothered.

In this instance, cheating has paid off.
Except finishing 3rd after Real and Barca isn't really an achievement in La Liga.
What a pussy. Boo!
Who's next?
Who's next?
No they don't, they need to just sign the right players. Couldn't care less about Galaticos.
Will quite like Perisic and Morata and look forward to the season.
Mate let it go.
He turned us down and we just tried to save face.
It was so obvious from this morning, it happens.
If athletico have rejected a staggered transfer and demanded the release clause all up front then we'd have very little cash available up front for other signings. Ie no fabinho/perisic etc. Nobody is going to sell players without a decent percentage of the fee paid immediately since they wouldn't be able to replace the player.
If we have 100m now to spare. Should we have a cheeky attempt to sign Neymar?
A few have said Barca would sell for ridiculous money and Neymar wants to be the star player somewhere!?

To the James thread!
It is?
So why wait 2 weeks?
Why don't his club or him issue a short statement that he wants to stay?
Remember when Pogba was leaving Juve? He kept his mouth shut, until the club made the announcement.
Same thing happened with DDG. He kept his mouth shut right until the transfer deal was done - then failed due to a fax machine issue.
When the marketing teams for MUFC and other major sponsors are ready, he'll be announced. He won't be announced before the marketing teams have milked this for it's worth.
Atletico have taught me that good guys finish last.. They can do wrong and in the end keep one of the world's best players as a result
Big girls blouse he is.
It's a bit disappointing but as long as Lukaku isn't signed I'm not that bothered.
As much as he bullshits, it does seem this was all tied up until the last minute.
Think we needed to pay all upfront and or Griezmann not wanting to go quite simply due to the ban and his feelings to Atletico not having a possible replacement. We were the first to saving face
