Muppets give up too easily.
What did you expect he'll say, I'm coming to Manchester, bye bye Atletico?
Nothing. Why does he have to tweet anything?
 
What did he really say?

A) I am always mattress
B) still I am mattress

We need a poll.
 
Get one of the Spanish speakers in here, unless the guy is on acid he clearly didn't tweet about being a mattress.

@Vato , @carvajal - translate.
 
So it's off cause he said it.

What should the guy do, stop tweeting until he joins us?
He doesn't have to mention anything, just shut up Antoine!
His statements over the last week have been oddly timed and unnecessary
 
The transfer won't drag out long I believe, since Jose will most probably want his signings quickly before the pre-season.

I expect by the end of June this deal will either be a success or a failure. Don't think we'll wait long for him.

The tweet is probably just an instruction from his agent I believe. Means nothing regarding the deal.
 
I'm getting Thiago Alcantara flashbacks with that signed football. Need a slap.
 
Why not? He still is an Atletico player, maybe he was instructed to calm things down a bit.
Just seems a stupid tweet if he was intending on leaving. "All unfounded, I'm still whatever" *2 weeks later "all true, I'm now Man Utd player"
 
Mattress :lol::lol::lol::lol:

The subtleties of language, eh?

For me, it's damage limitation. He started the fire and now he's been advised to put it out. Assuming there is contact between the clubs, it seems to me that it is not yet at an advanced stage, so it would be better for the player to act as if he's staying put.
 
Love it Griezmann! A good transfer must have it's up and downs! Makes the signing all the sweeter :drool:

Just guessing here, but with a buy-out clause why do things need to be at advanced stage?
 
He literally is the reason everyone is talking about it because of his interview. Why can't players we're after be like Bernardo Silva/PEA who literally say nothing or say they're leaving 100%?

Yep, he even appeared in that Adidas video asking why we listen to everything we read in the papers.. and his agent was denying a deal

 
Every United transfer saga has denials. Can you think of one that hasn't?

It was never going to be like Silva to city. Boom, done, next. It'll drag a month or two yet
 
i know the caf enjoys a muppet saga but i much prefer get in, get it down quick, and peel off like a bandit, much to my girlfriend's dismay..but yeah..

Not sure if we ever do end up paying a buy out clause, even if there is one? I thought buy-out clauses are a bit complex in practice and that clubs end up negotiating instead, but could be wrong.

Also, talks between our club and the player are probably not at an advanced stage either. The player has probably been put under pressure to distance himself from the remarks he made this week until his future is properly sorted out.
 
Lol what the hell is up with this mattress stuff? :lol:

You cannot be as brazen as he was coming out saying I'm odds on to leave, and I want to go out and win titles and not expect backlash from your club's fans. The French interviewer essentially asked him 'you do realise what you're saying?', and Griezmann acknowledged accordingly. If any one of our players came out and starting speaking like that direct to the media we'd all be seething and rightly so. If he stays then his rep takes a hit too. It's still on in my opinion.
 
Truly mad muppet season, and the season only ended few days ago. Taking a lot of me today. Need to sleep on it.
 
Feck.


All the rumors are unfounded, I'm always Colchonero. My direction will be established after discussion with my consultant sports

I'm now even more convinced he's coming.

don't worry peeps. This is just how it is with us and transfers. This is part of the cycle. He will be here by June.

The "Muppet" in me had died
