Well, Bernardo Sivla and Dier then.
He's an excellent player but I don't like these sort of characters. Hazard's entourage leaks Madrid speculations every season, remember his antics before signing for "UCL winners"? I don't want a Yaya at our club.

If its most likely done why didn't he say 7 or 8?
Why do we need this overpriced little fecker? Is he really gonna make us challenge for the title?
Rather have Dier and two wingers for that money? Do you know which club Dier plays for? Ever heard of Levy? For that money you would have Dier... and that's it
I reckon that might be something else mate, probably wise to get that checked out at the doctors.
By done I meant the transfer fees etc. they're most likely discussing wages etc now. Saying that would not only make his position weaker but it would also mean he'd have no fall back if the deal fell through due to disagreements.
He's been denying the rumours and saying he was stating all season, find it hard to believe it's just a coincidence he would suddenly change his stance.
And what colour are his boxers?
Read the second paragraph, why else would he suddenly decide to announce this after a whole season of saying he'll stay? Only last week he said he wanted to stay.
If he wants it done in the next two weeks we can surely assume the negotiations are in advanced stages? This is hardly the easiest deal considering it'll most likely be close to a world record, if it isn't. Also since he said he'd decide we can assume it's up to him, which means the clubs have come to an agreement, whether that may be through the buyout or otherwise.
Not by himself but he'd be the best player in the league, should he come. Why say no?
I dont see how you wouldn't be able to sleep, unless you are about 5 years old
Didn't finish reading the entire thread but from the translation it seems that Griezmann was talking about how much the negotiations was completed rather than how likely he would be joining Utd.
Can you show me where he's said he'll stay? He just said he's happy in Madrid, but that doesn't mean he's committed to stay there another season or that he wouldn't be just as happy elsewhere. Especially when you go by the amount of times he's spoken of a desire to move elsewhere:
His manager can't even confirm he'll stay: http://www.skysports.com/football/n...s-radar-as-a-potential-summer-transfer-target (at the bottom, Simeone doesn't really want to comment either way).
He hinted at moving to us here: http://www.skysports.com/football/n...ts-to-play-alongside-paul-pogba-at-club-level
And recently he also spoke about being open to leaving Atletico but said weather was important.
So in summary, Griezmann has always flirted with moving clubs. He never said he'll stay at Atletico. Him saying 6 out of 10 is just another one of those flirts as far as I'm concerned. He gave a 7/10 for staying at Atletico so he clearly isn't being accurate with his answers.
Apologies, when I said stay I should have been clearer in my intention meaning he wasn't coming to us. Back to the discussion - there's been a few situations, that time he walked out on the reporter who asked him about his future, that time he said he would be at Atleti as long as Simeone was there etc. Also, saying the weather is essential further proves my point, he's spent all season distancing himself. Everyone and their nan knows the weather in Manchester is feckin shite, he obviously knew what he was doing when he came out and said that.
Players always say they'd like to play alongside their friends at club level. Neymar said he'd want to play alongside GBJ, I don't see a move to City on the cards for him anytime soon though, nor do I see GBJ going the other way. In fact, if you actually read what Griezmann said in that article you'd see he said that he didn't see himself moving.
This is exactly it - you're taking one liners from the article quotes (which is all they have) to then extrapolate on to what's going on. No one knows. The interview today was just another tease that he's done. Saying 6/10 to us doesn't mean hes negotiating anything, or that fees agreed wages agreed etc. Especially when apparently he said 7/10 to stay in another interview.
In two weeks...
"I'm signing for the Europa league winner."
"I'm signing for the Europa league winner."
He's hardly going to recite poems to us about his personal life and discussions is he? It's a forum, none of us know shite, all we have to go by is what he said and rumours, which both seem to suggest he's confident it will happen. I could be wrong and in fact he's not going anywhere, I'm not saying it's 100% done, that's just what it seems like given his change in approach recently.
As I said though, he could just be being cheeky.
Weather important, eh?
Should be a done deal, then. You can’t beat a bit of a drizzle - and a bit of wind. Excellent for the general constitution.
Precipitation: 6/10
Wind: 4/10
Overall weather: 7/10 (compared to, say, the outer Hebrides).

I'm not anti greizmann but where will that leave Rashford?

Rashford on the left, Mkhitaryan right, Pogba further up and a new CM to partner Herrera.
Martial on the bench.
We can't turn our nose up at one of the best players in the world because Rashford may be short on minutes, I wouldn't worry anyway, Jose clearly has a lot of time for Rashford I doubt Griezmann will be brought in to play as the striker anyway.
he will be a rotation player like Martial, he's not good enough yet to be a nailed on starter
I don't think Griezmann will be playing there anyway as Mourinho usually has a more physical player up front
Do we really know for a fact that he'd thrive here?
And like when we signed Pogba, I think we'd have more use for 2 players at £45m each than one at 90m
He supports Liverpool. True story, he also went to university there.
In regards to Greizmann, this is clearly happening irrespective of Wednesday result. He wouldn't speak about this publicly if we needed to win to guarantee his arrival.
This is 100% done already. He's been told to drop a few hints, and it'll be built up like the Pogba/Zlatan-signings with a cringy unveiling and a video of him coming "out of the dark"
Oh boy... This summer's gonna be fun.
Will it be pogba? Or sneidjer?
I'd say 60 percent it's a pogba!

Absolutely this.
Really amd if Dier costs around 50m which wingers would you go and get to improve this United team for 20m each?
Would be an incredible signing. Pogba, Mkhitarian and Griezemann in one team. We really should play some smashing stuff next season (yeah we say this every year). Not sure how we'd fit both Pogba and him into the same team.
Indeed. He's a fantastic all round footballer. Great intelligence and movement in addition to the touch and finishing.

Imagine we beat Ajax on penalties and Jose confirming that our first two signings of the summer are Bernardo Silva and Antoine Griezmann. There would be complete scenes here.
Screw that get them kitted up! Run on for the trophy celebrations
I actually just had a horrible thought of Terry running on in full kit and announcing he has signed. Possibly the only way a victory on Wednesday could be spoiled

Including his tiny shin pads
It's 6/10 because he's busy checking the weather forecasts for the year ahead. Pray it doesn't rain, lads.
If we are not playing well and winning, you can be sure all those players will again be suddenly useless and in need of an "upgrade".
What's his catchphrase going to be though?
I guess we better not feck up the Europa final then.
A storm starts with a breeze, man. A league title starts with a Griezmann.
Basically sounds like he will sign if we win the EL
