To be fair that's nothing to be too proud of. The reason they aren't competing for the europa league is because they are always in the champions league ;) (now)

But they have won it twice. It's the CWC they're missing I think.
 
The muppetry will have to increase drastically if this thread is to compete with the Pogba thread.

I think with Pogba, nobody really believed it'd happen, then when it seemed possible everyone exploded over it.

This has just felt obvious for so long. There isn't a lack of excitement, people have just had so long to digest it.

Apparently. But let's see what happens if this drags out until August. :p

I believed Pogba would happen from day one and always said so.

I have done the same with Griezmann.

Some people on here get hung up on the fact that we haven't got a great team or weren't in the CL, etc etc.

I choose to focus on the fact that we pay top whack now so are more attractive to players than we ever were under Fergie.
 
It amazes me how every single year the same proven bullshitters are still believed.
This is my first RedCafe summer transfer window!

But I remember reading last year's. That De Brun and Tancredi Palmeri are full of horse poo!
 
Social media scouting done then. Now we need some recent photos of him so we can do body language analysis before we get into tracking flights.

Tracking flights is the best part of transfers. Can't wait. Hope he is flying to Manchester directly from the States and not Madrid :drool:
 
If you assign numeric values to each letter in Jose Mourinho and Antoine Griezmann, and multiply each value by the sum of the numeric values assigned to Sir Alex Ferguson and then add them all together, then divide by the square of the distance to the sun if the earth was flat, multiplied by 1, because in binary 1 = on.

If you do all this, and I can't be fussed to show you all the numbers I assigned, you will discover as I have, that both the world is flat, and Griezmann is on!!!!!11111

You say the same about every big name player we get linked with. You're just the biggest muppet of the lot.
 
He scores goals. We lack a goal scorer
He's a United fan.
There are very few clubs that could afford him. 1 is our direct rival, another doesn't need him, and he already stated he won't play for the other.
He's as good as ours. That interview pretty much confirm it.
My guess is that we already negotiating with him months ago, just after Mourinho identify him as a target. We are now discussing this with Atletico
 
I hope we bring in some extra attacking quality along with Griezmann. As much as i want to sign him, he's not going to make enough of a difference if you put him in our attack as it is. I'm just struggling to see who we are going to turn to if not Silva. Our right side is atrocious.

I'm sure we'll bring in a striker as well as Griezmann. But yeah in an ideal world we'd add a world class winger too. I guess there's only so much we can do in one window though.
 
If we don't get Greazy and City get Silva we will looklike muppets.

Woody dont feck it up now!

The right hand side should be a priority. We literally have nobody that looks good in the position because they all want to play through the middle. Griezmann, Rashford & Martial are all capable of playing up front.

With the question marks over Martial too, there is an argument that we don't have any wide men at all. Where is the supply going to come from?

You serious? it's obvious we've been doing the groundwork on this transfer the last few months.
We only finished our season the day before yesterday? relax a bit yeah?
Christ some of you lot are skittish :lol:
 
Hoping Woodward can just hit Mourinho's wants list and get business done early. Protracted transfer sagas/teasing is the pits.
 
He is a fan of United, NBA and I am guessing a fan of the Cavaliers and LeBron James. Definitely my man. Sign him up Woody. Now! This very second! :boring:

I should have read that last line before I started doing the calculations!

There is also question marks over Rashford, should not forget that he is not proven by any stretch of the imagination.

It's peanut butter muppet time!

Griezmann will play on the right for Jose next season if the transfer goes ahead.

Unlike many, I doubt a 'number 9' will come in, unless it's some sort of stop-gap. Not worth blowing £60m+ when you expect either Rashford or Martial to become natural first choices within 18 months, especially when there are other areas which require urgent attention, including centre-half and central midfield. I think Zlatan will hang around, and if he's available around January, to get a deal til the end of the season to flesh out the numbers.

Maybe in a 433 in the big games, but i think he needs to play behind a striker. The guy is a goal machine, if we move him out wide away from goal then this has flop written all over it.
 
Almost literally can't see anything written on it, but what I can see, it doesnt look like AG to me, more like AF.

Sorry guys, but AF... Antoinne France.
 
Whatever it says I am fairly certain Ed & Jose don't plan shit on a fecking whiteboard :lol:

I really fail to see the logic in this. Griezmann has played the majority of his career off the right. In his final season at Sociedad he played a full season there in a very ordinary team and scored 20 goals. And, while Atleti do most deploy him as a second striker in a 4-4-2, Simeone regularly varies this, including during matches, and he seamlessly returns to the right in a 4321/433. Messi and Ronaldo are the most successful goalscorers of all time, and almost always start out wide, but are allowed considerable freedom due to their footballing intelligence, I suspect this is where the Frenchman can not just match but exceed his goal tally in Spain with better players around him.

The logic is that I think he's better through the middle and far more productive in front of goal there.

If this doesn't happen, we'll all look like idiots:lol:
Don't lose hope, since Woodward took over we've had a great track record of eventually closing these deals. Only 2 possibilities for this not to happen, we aren't interested or we are not ready to pay the fee. There could also be a 3rd possibility of Real Madrid coming in with an offer and stealing him.
