How reliable is that article on MEN about Griezman deal being one step closer.

Apparently that's what Griezmann's advisor/agent said. I've seen many papers report this so has to be some truth in it right?
Cool, thanks. I can't post media yet
No problem, mate.
I'm still confident he'll come despite what he has been saying lately. I don't really take what players say in media about their future in a club with much seriousness and anything can change anytime.
The good thing is that we're clearly entering the bid for him.

It just feels like a logical transfer for both parties. I'll try to contain myself (for now..) But a resurgent Martial and Rashford up top interchanging with Griezmann is potentially
Fed by PogPass Add Mhki, Mata and hopefully another top CM/DM and we're in business.
It's going to be a big summer ain't it? Big names coming in. Griezmann has soooo mucj attacking threat it should be raining goals at Old Trafford next season.

That would be a dream
but as I said in B.Silva thread we still need another attacking player with Griezmann, not just him.Mikhi and Mata will be our main number 10 players, rotating between themselves. Rashford should concentrate on the striker either a sub or starter, he can be a backup option on the left wing but that if we have crisis. Griezmann could very well play as a striker ( and I think it'll be his favourite position ) or a RW. We need another RW, too , to give the attack flexibility as we have no one on this side now and are using number 10 players as Mikhi and Mata in it. Even Lingard doesn't seem to be in his best conditions on the right.
Griezmann and Silve and that will be job done for the attack for some years coming.

If there is going to be any silver linings to Zlatan's knee injury, it will be this transfer. Easier to justify the price and easier to incorporate him into the XI.
No other club will be able to pay him what we can, the lure of #7, United will enhance his brand (some people like to scoff at stuff like this, but it is quite a big deal) and being a part of Mourinho's new project. It's not a huge stretch, especially as long as we get CL.
Mikitaryan Griezmann Martial - Rashfordl
lOoh physics burn! Nice!
I personally see this as somewhat negative news. Generally, when a player is close to moving/wants to move to us, their agent remains quiet (bar maybe Mino Raiola). It's when they want a new contract/wants to hype up the interest in the player that they namedrop us and say we're interested.
So first his image advisor and now his agent ?
Escalating.
Escalating.
There are no set rules in this regard. Some agents may just be a bit more talkative than others.
That's true. I guess I'm just taking a negative spin on it.
That would be a dream

If we buy B. Silva, Mata may have to be sold.
That would be sad but Silva is one heck of a gifted player you want to have in a title chasing squad.
Can't wait for him to wind up the KOP with his telephone celebration. That celebration is annyoing to no end, except when he does it in our jersey that is.
Why does he do that retarded celebration though?
I dont think we will buy him. I said the same with Pogba though
Jim white on talk sport said earlier today that United have already made an opening bid of £85 million.
Jim white is a plum
Now thats our woodward, an opening bid which is at the release clause
He is a dickhead, but he's also got a lot of contacts in the game.
It wasn't a usual journalists "United are preparing a bid" comment either. It was that we'd actually opened negotiations and made a bid already.
You don't negotiate with a release clause matching "opening bid".
One of the great things about Mourinho is that he doesn't waste time on players that are unrealistic. If we have shown interest in him, the manager thinks we can get him. He is generally pretty good at ending speculation through media. I reckon that once the season is over, Jose will address transfers and if he doesn't outright deny Griezmann rumors, he's going to be our player before the end of June.
I still can't think of a way we're going to play him....unless we get another pivot DM.
The most interesting thing for me is how we'll organise the midfield next season to complement players like Griezmann if they do come. Imagine we sign Bernardo Silva and Griezmann which is apparently looking likelier by the day. We know we need a new midfielder and centre back so do we stay with a 3 in midfield and play Griezmann as a lone striker? Or sign a midfielder who is strong defensively and play him next to Pogba, in which case what about Herrera? It just raises a lot of questions.
I hate to raise the possibility but is there any real risk pep and the bitters could come in and tempt him to play in front of a couple thousand empty seats every other week? I need to prepare myself mentally for that before I can commit full muppet
If Atletico and Monaco can beat the majority of Europe with a 2 man midfield, we certainly can too. It's just about discipline and team shape, and that's something Mourinho is really getting us better at.
I can't see City getting him, I think Griezmann would prefer Champions League to EuropaI hate to raise the possibility but is there any real risk pep and the bitters could come in and tempt him to play in front of a couple thousand empty seats every other week?

On a serious note - Griezmann doesn't really strike me as a player that would fit in Pep's system. And I think it's safe to assume Guardiola will remain extremely stubborn in trying to make City play 'his way'.

His brother would never forgive him! Also, I imagine a major factor for him to join us is that his marketing potential is going to go through the roof, which wouldn't happen at City.
I have heard - and don't snigger, this is true - that Mourinho asked Eric Olhats to make this statement in the media to fire up the current United forward line following Ibra's injury. He wants them fighting for their places with news that Griezmann is coming in.
Oh, and he is DEFINITELY coming, from what I can gather. He's been dreaming of that No.7 shirt for years. And it's his this summer. £85m.

He's a Drake fan and it's from the Hotling Bling video.
Ah silly season has begun already it seems.
Its good news that at least we know the club is interested and willing to make a concrete bid. Hope we can pull this through. It's a dream signing. One of the world best players in the class of Messi, Neymar, Suarez and Ronaldo.
Can't wait to see his hotline bling celebration at OT.
Is this the face that says "I save money"?
Loooooooooooooool
