Imho Cristiano wanted the big fat paycheck we offered him more than being a galactico 2.0

Why on earth would you want to buy your rivals best player?
That's just pathetic.
I wouldn't want to sign anyone from City.
I would like to buy the best players,doesn't matter what team they play.
Well i shouldn't have included it in the "it's a fact" part, only realized that later. I think he doesn't have players with the technical ability of Martial, Micky, Mata, Ibra, Pogba at Atletico..Koke has good technique, but not Pogba level. Carrasco and Saul don't have bad technique, but even their best traits are found in other categories..they are probably comparable technique-wise to Rashford and Herrera. Of course technique isn't everything.
Good on Mourinho, it should be music to our ears this but yet people will draw the negatives and then complain a year down the line when players aren't giving there 110%, surely we dont want another Di Maria situation on our hands, not to say Griezmann will be nor will he not be here in the summer, but I love this from Mou, definitely stearing us in the right direction
RvP didn't work out half bad..Agreed.
Yea, also a big fan of what he's done there. He just desperately needs to have us back in CL next year and competing for the big trophies. All well and good to play this card now from Mourinho, but another year without CL and without challenging and that type of move will only work for lesser players.
Member agent Dave signing Thiago's ball? I member...
Jose pretty much ruling out Griezmann in my eyes. Hence the Mbappe interest.
Why LA though? I mean i've never been there, but from what i've heard it's a huge shithole. It's a bit different of course when you're filthy rich. Still, there must be better places to live.
Well, Fabinho seems eager to go here, so that could be a hint.. Maybe Sanchez is not so much happening
Agree completely. We've made this mistake too often in recent years. Characters to fit the profile is so important. It's an area where SAF had huge success.
City fans on here some convinced he's joining them.
Member Thiago signing the United shirt? I member
I have a feeling he'll stay until Simeone goes.
How ironic then that they are both the same thing
Those comments by Mourinho are pretty bad in our hopes of signing Griezmann. I completely agree with him nonetheless. Maybe the Mbappe interest arisen because of this?
He was attempting to make a point, extreme - obviously. But as weather goes, LA is tough to beat IMO - for other things, obviously depends on your metric for happiness
Yeah, i should have read that more carefully. Just had a short look at it.
'My objective is to get to a club with the dimension of Manchester United,’ the Brazilian told FourFourTwo ahead of Monaco’s 5-3 defeat to Manchester City on Tuesday.
‘I have no clue if one day I’ll be a United player, but I’ll keep on working so it stops being a rumour and becomes reality.’
Weird to put out those comments before the city match though, then.
Yea Ferguson used do the same. If you didn't want to come, he wasn't bothered.
If the weather puts him off coming here then I hope we quickly move on. We need fighters, not pansies who are afraid of wind and rain
I think L'Equipe recently wrote that Monaco have an agreement to let Fabinho leave this summer and he wants to move back to RB with City the only place he wants to go.
He would be an excellent fullback for Pep. Could also be used in midfield, like Lahm. I dont think we are interested in him anyway.
I've read similar around here, don't know why. He has been immense at CM.
Not convinced Fabinho would as good as a RB as he is in midfield.
Anyway on Griezmann, if he isn't 100% set on actually wanting to come and play here we should move on. We need players that want to be here and want to win here.

We should be in my opinion. He's a good fullback with the right kind of qualities to replace Valencia in 1-2 years. If he's available come summer, worth considering getting him now and get him well integrated into the system when he will be first choice.
It's a bit weird really, as on paper he seems a lot more suited to our midfield than his team mate Bakayoko.
He must enjoy the attacking freedom of a full back more than defensive midfield.
After seeing those comments I'd question the credibility of L'Equipe.
Well, now that you mention it, in his case one was a direct consequence of the other
Yeah, LA sucks.
Miami Beach would have been a better noice.
Anyways, I don't know why anyone is reading into Mourinhos comments.
We are going to get the Griezzy.
Watching this today how can anyone be seriously against us getting Griezmann?
That's true because they're actually filthy rich, though.
Let's pray he isn't watching our matches, because if he does I'm sure he'll be having second thoughts linking up with this toothless lot.
A bit like Pogba, Ibrahimovic, Mkhitaryan, Di Maria, and Falcao then.
Was more of an anomoly then though. More the norm these days.
Then being 9 months ago ?
Well yeah. Another year, the slide continues. It is going to get to the stage where top players won't want to come here you know. Money is only going to go so far.
