There is no time for that deal anymore, we couldn't finish Herrera 2 seasons ago either in the last 2 days. We would need to activate the release clause and that does need some preparation work.

Don't think you can compare dealing with Bilbao to any other Spanish club, tbh.
They'll do everything in their power to make the transfer impossible, not sure Madrid would be the same.
So Januzaj out to Dortmund on loan for whatever reason... Surely we'll go for him? Our squad is looking thin again if not, as Martial is more of a replacement for Hernandez or Januzaj, not both.
I know it makes sense to us but LVG seems to favour targets that either doesn't want to play for us or that just won't leave.Martial
Depay - Mata - Griezmann
If Woodward was a true muppet...Depay - Mata - Griezmann
cant see another winger/forward for so much money.
-------Griezmann
Depay - Mata - Martial
is better.
although I have no idea what's Martial preferred position.
I am not so sure. In the end Atletico doesn't want to sell and he doesn't look like he will push for a move because he is happy there and fine with staying for another year. They have the time on their side, even if we agree a move with him and activate the release clause, they will make it difficult enough for us to not finish the deal imo. La Liga window closing earlier too, doesn't it? Only a few hours open if I am right.
Why the heck are we not in for him
We could very well be. Just because there are no rumours as of yet doesn't mean nothing is happening. The Falcao deal last year was similar. Some columbian journalist reported the deal in the early hours of deadline day and everyone was laughing at her only to be shocked a few hours later.
Don't think our captain would pick that front 4 and LvG consults team selection with his captain
Should of done a deal when his buyout was for £43m, now it's £56m but even then he would still be worth it.
£36m for Martial makes no sense, just pay the £56m it would take and buy Griezmann!!!
Or both? We can still get both. I believe!!!
Pay £70m if that's what it takes. Ready made goal-scorer who has yet to reach his prime, gotta be worth whatever we can pay given the current striking situation.
Crazy we haven't chased this one. Can only imagine there is another club waiting to take him next summer.
Would make too much sense.
Would make too much sense.
France have a lot of very good talent at the moment: Fekir, Lacazette, Martial (hopefully), Griezmann, Pogba, Kondogbia, Varane, Zouma, Matuidi, Benzema.
#11 open for him to come.... Come on Woody, just fecking pay up for him like we did for Martial
+ Laporte, Koscielny, Digne, Imbula, Thauvin, Umtiti, Grenier and our own Morgan
Especially their options for CB and striker are crazy.
Should compete for titles in the next few tournaments with those players.
Embarrassment of riches, would expect them to do well this coming summer.
I think a lot of the top clubs will be sniffing around him come January.
If we are willing to pay £36m for some teenage who has barely done anything surely we can spend £56 on Griezmann?
....or perhaps Januzaj to BVB was a sweetener for Reus; who knows?
Hats off to the 13 voters who would rather give our youth a chance. A mix of delusion and red tinted specs must have played a part there. Bizarre.
German transfer window closing very soon (either in 3mins, or an hour and 3 mins).
i would asume that you can buy players from german clubs but not the other way round, otherwise there are not many options left tomorrow as also spain etc are closing the window today
Actually six hours left, anyway. Wait and see I guess.
When a City exec stumbles upon this thread whilst browsing Google he will be their next target. No doubt they'll sign him too.
Cannot believe United have not bid for him. Suits us down to the ground.

Griezmann would definitely make an instant improvement on us.
Griezmann, Pedro - all too obvious for LVG.
It closes at midnight CET.
German window has already SLAMMED SHUT!
Really? I thought it closes at midnight. What about Spanish and French windows?
Spanish window stays till midnight local time i think.
I was at my folks about an hour ago and my old man was watching SSN, they said they German window had just shut and then showed a snippet of German SSN.
Correct, so they cannot buy but I think we could still buy from them until 5pm tomorrow right?
correct
Yup, their window is irrelevant to sales outside Germany.
So that means Germans can't buy from England but English clubs can buy from Germany?
Edit: Just seen your response.
2 mins left
closes at 6
quickly Woody
edit: it is 7 in Germany now
Still open for sales
