Yeah I don't think it likely either, just considering the absolute reverse.
You are right to mention it, maybe Simeone thinks about a 442 diamond.

I've gone cold on the idea of Griezmann. Lately I've just had the feeling it wouldn't work out.
I think United need a Summer of getting less high profile players and getting players we actually need. I still think the defense should be our main priority
I'd like him here but these are not good reasons.
1) there are many top players around. What matters is how well they fit in the team
2) Zlatan Pogba and Griezman come nowhere near MSN or even RBB
3) Being a fan doesn't mean much in professional decisions.
ffs who is?

Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale. Though the "official" term is BBC, Benzema, Bale, Cristiano.
we have conceded only 23 goals in the league this season, which is only two more than Chelsea and Spurs who have the best record of 21.
- 3rd best defence in the league, 2 goals behind the best despite no full time left back.
- 7th best attack (level with Bournemouth), 19 goals behind the best, relying on a 35yo
Yep we should absolutely focus on the defence, that's the source of our problems
Nah I don't buy that at all. Bailly is the only CB we have that would have a chance of getting into other top teams. Smalling, Jones & Rojo wouldn't even come close.
Also consider that if Jose had better defenders, we'd also feel more freedom to attack and score more goals. Rather than trying to pretect Smalling, Jones and co at 1-0 and putting all the men behind the ball
You're welcome to your opinions but I definitely think I'm right about this. If you asked Jose off the record what he wanted to strengthen more, he'd say the defense

Depends how you define top team. There are top teams with pretty shitty CBs out there..Barcelona, Sevilla, Liverpool, AS Rom (apart from Manolas), Dortmund (apart from Sokratis)..we are not absolute top bracket regarding CBs - like we used to be -, but definitely not bad compared to some other top teamsBailly is the only CB we have that would have a chance of getting into other top teams. Smalling, Jones & Rojo wouldn't even come close.
At least we got HIV.Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale. Though the "official" term is BBC, Benzema, Bale, Cristiano.
At least we got HIV.
Herrera, Ibra, Valencia.

I'm not saying Griezmann is making this demand, but if he could be swayed from coming to this great club based on whether we get CL or not then he's not truly wanting to play for United, I doubt Jose would have anything to do with that, same as Fergie would have fecked him off.
I rather he be swayed by ambition like CL than just shit loads of money.I'm not saying Griezmann is making this demand, but if he could be swayed from coming to this great club based on whether we get CL or not then he's not truly wanting to play for United, I doubt Jose would have anything to do with that, same as Fergie would have fecked him off.
I think people need to get over this way of thinking. We are not the only big club in the world. Ultimately, Griezmann must put his career first, and even if he would like to play for United, it should be on terms that work for where he wants his own career to go. He's clearly a CL level player, and rightly feels his club should be at that level.

If he or any other player doesn't see the bigger picture of United I'd be quite happy for them feck off, if they are basically going to keep us hanging until they know whether we are in the CL then I'd rather not bother, this was Alexis Sanchez way of thinking and look where it got him.
God forbid the third best player in Europe isn't so keen on Thursday road trips to Rostov or Genk.If he or any other player doesn't see the bigger picture of United I'd be quite happy for them feck off, if they are basically going to keep us hanging until they know whether we are in the CL then I'd rather not bother, this was Alexis Sanchez way of thinking and look where it got him.
So Alexis Sanchez would have been better off being a United player the last two years? Because we have more twitter followers?
What exactly is the bigger picture? Us not making the CL hasn't proved to be a one-off. We've made it once in the last 3 seasons and are currently outside the top 4 again, at the end of March.

How do you know that? Any player as good as Griezmann currently is within his rights to postulate terms before joining. Like others have said we aren't the only 'big club' around and we certainly haven't shown enough quality within the last 3 seasons to prove we have enough going for us to just ride on our name.If he'd have been at United we'd have made the CL in both of LvG's seasons and wouldn't be floating around 6th this season, he's gotten nothing but an ulcer playing for Arsenal.

So he probably wants to win the CL, not a bad thing in my bookI don't think so, if his interest in playing for us hinges solely on whether we are are in the CL that season when he signs means he's really not that bothered about playing for us.
