The concern is who fits in with him in a 4-2-3-1, this formation only really allows Pogba to play as one of the 2, which I think is a waste, if Herrera is the other 2 then we need a more defense minded 3 in front of them, this again may restrict Griezman assuming he is one of the 3, on reflection maybe a 4-4-1-1 would be the way to go ? I guess the debate is do you choose a system and get players in that work, or choose a system that suits the players we have and wish to keep.

I don't think he's going to be coming here, at least not this summer anyway. It's a bad time for Atletico to sell what with the transfer ban and also I'm not sure if he's the type of striker Mourinho is looking for.
Who says it would take all summer?
I don't think he's fussed about coming. I reckon he'll stay for another season and then stay in Spain. Hope im wrong though.
I think we should spend the kind of money he'll cost on other players.
Hes decent but im not bothered either way if he comes or doesnt.

I still think he's coming. Who's with me?
I personally didn't want him from the start, so this suits me fine
We'll get him. Marks my words.
Pretty much impossible to disagree with this.
There's no proof, done everything possible to distance himself from United.
If he's ambitious, he will come here. It's this year or never.
The least desirable signing ever if it happens. I rather spunk his release clause on Harry Kane and i don't even really see Kane as an exciting signing but he can do the job which is scoring goals
Kane is pretty much unsignable though. The difference with Griezmann is he's a world class player we apparently do have a shot at, and there's nothing his club can do about it.
This thread needs @Acquire Me to restore faith
I'm very confident we'll get him as long as win on Wednesday, and I think we will beat Ajax.
He'll be an amazing Premier League player.
This is the key signing that will help propel us back to the top of the world.

Why is he more ambitious joining a club who finished 6th and may or may not be playing in Europe next year rather than staying at a club that regularly reaches the CL semis?
Reaching but winning nothing. United has history of winning big things unlike A.Madrid.
We're so far away from Atletico in terms of quality it's insane.
He will have more medals with us than with A.Madrid. (If we don't go crazy sacking manager for no reason of course)
You a Liverpool fan ?
A month back, he said it was a done deal and the media will provide many twists that weren't true. So what he said then is pretty much what we're seeing now.
This feels like the Pogba deal. Having said that, while I am not convinced he is the best for us, I think he is coming.
No.
Agreed, yet I'd say we have a better chance of winning the league next season than Atletico.
I guess even if many aspects have been discussed with Griezmann, winning the Europa League will still be a condition that will "simplify" the process. Otherwise, we would need to compensate somehow for that, whether financially or whatnot. Maybe the obligation to buy big to maximise the chances to win the league, who knows.
I'd think the other play who would be so good to have would be Alexis Sanchez... but that's a dream just

.The only thing stopping Griezmann from coming here is CL qualification. His 'home' club is sociedad, we are a bigger club and Simeone plays even more negative than Mourinho. We can obviously offer more money. The only question to be answered is if United can give him football at the highest level.
You forgot Spain and his will to leave it.
Hopefully.
Nah can't remember having doubts about Pogba coming. Griezmann happening feels far more uncertain.
A LOT of people were oddly skeptical at the time.
Same shite:
"Juve are way better than us. Why would he leave?"
"Italy has nice weather."
Etc. etc.
Miserable, negative twats that always think the grass is greener than their own lawn.
All I am looking for is something concrete that says we are definitely interested. If I see any evidence of that, I would be completely shocked if we didn't get him.
exactly, if we want him and have cl, I can't see his reason why nt to and if he doesn't want to come, we could just add a bit more cash and spunk the money on mbappe as a f*** you sign to him
His idols David fekin Beckham, his favourite clubs Manchester United. He will come if we are willing to pay
And the state of People. Actually thinking Kanes better when he's done jack all in Europe,nt, and is surrounded by a better attack/attacking focused team.
Greizzmanns scoring record is very good and Kane's a much worse creative player

He's basically a must buy for us. He would give our impotent attack much need goals and creativity.
I think the pogba transfer saga drained all our muppet powers and we wont be able to pull this one off. Sorry guys, aint happening
Whilst we need his goals I don't think he has all the attributes we need in a player to justify spending 90m on him mainly because after signing him we will still need an upgrade on one of our flanks and possibly a striker. I would rather we spend 120m on Aubameyang and B.Silva because both would add the creativity, goals and pace we are lacking than spend 90m on Griezmann and find ourselves still needing a striker and a winger a few months down the line.
Certainly a good sign.
think we might see that (Auba and Bernardo) but I wouldn't rule out Griezmann either, sounds insane but I wouldn't be surprised if we got all 3
