That was very theatrical, not helped by the ridiculous hair colour.
If he was wearing a handbag around his neck, it would've completed the full look.

No we agreed to sign him and pay his release clause but after Atletico Madrid had their transfer ban upheld Griezmann decided to stay one more season as Atletico couldn't replace him. He acted with dignity but many United fans took that as a snub, ficle bunch.
He agreed a bumper deal where he would get an increased wage for his loyalty but his release clause would remain at €100 million next summer when he can leave and they can replace him.
If Costa moves in Jaunuary United could even make their move then instead, either way Griezmann won't be an Atletico Madrid player by this time next summer, he wants to win trophies.
please trigger his release clause. he will be brilliant mate 
Where would he play even if he did come? I'm assuming he'd take Mata's place, and maybe Mkhi would move out further right?
Yeah.
Lukaku
Martial - Greizmann - Mkhi
Matic - Pogba
Martial - Greizmann - Mkhi
Matic - Pogba
Just give us the league title now!
Mickey T is much better in the 10.
Than Griezmann.... No he isn't. That aside Mkhi and Griezmann could easily rotate position during a game.
Maybe, but Griezmann is a much better player.
He doesn't look happy at atletico at all; really out of sorts yesterday.
January can't come fast enough for him!

Getting a world class right winger (not that any exist...) instead of Griezmann would improve us way more IMO. Obviously won't say no and still feel he'll come, but we have quality #10's at the club and getting griezmann would make some like Mkhitaryan and Mata more or less pointless. Basically if there's 1 dream signing we can get it would be Ousmane Dembele.
I think we could do with both types of players. We need that extra little bit of star quality up top and still need another winger. For now it'll be Ibrahimovic as a back-up to Lukaku, but next summer we could/should aim for attacking depth as follows:
ST: Lukaku, Rashford
AM/SS: Griezmann, Mkhitaryan
LW: Martial, Lingard
RW: ??, Mata
The problem isn't starting but performing.
Top Bantz!
Who needs porn when you have that lineup?
Where will Zlatan play?
Off the bench?The most worrying thing about that photo is seeing a footballer with wired headphones.
It's his own fault, he chose not to come.
Agreed, I guess they guilt tripped him to stay, I feel sorry for him really. Tried to do the honourable thing I just hope they stick to their words and let him leave in Jan.
Finally some sense in this crazy world..
Other than Osman Dembele, who is Barca bound and very expensive, there isn't a right winger that can play the role needed at good enough level to improve us more than getting Griezmann.
If we do get him, we can play him behind Lukaku and the right winger can be etiher Mkhitaryan or Mata. They can interchange throughout the match. Griezmann is left footed so he still gets a good angle from right side.
He'd replace Mkhi and Mata behind the striker primarily I reckon with the former(s) maybe being shunted to the right side more often.
Where will Zlatan play?
Swap Zlatan for Griezmann, and you have your answer.
Would sign him in a minute he's an instant upgrade in any of the 3 positions behind Lukaku.
I understand that you are frustrated, but you don't need to take it out on me.
I was not the reason why he snubbed us.
If you want to vent your frustration, vent it at him, not me.
Why is this thread still open?
Might happen in January with Costa going to Athletico.
I'd be quite surprised. Rare to see a massive deal in January, and I would expect Atletico to still be in CL and doing decent in the league. I'd think if we make a move for him it will be in the summer.
This is a weird post
I don't think it was that weird in comparison with posters on here that make reference to the vision of our midfield being better than sex...
You'd think they'd be able to afford proper quality audiophile Bluetooth headphones eh?
Unfettered optimism is mine. Better sort that noggin out if he wants to come here, he reminds me of a second hand doll from a jumble sale.
It'd be Asymetric with Mhiki and Griezman rotating as you say and Pogba would just float in the hole. Perfect.
There were several reasons for signing Zlatan back again.
1. Zlatan was free, unfortunately his wages aren't...
2. I'm assuming that he'll be used when we're playing multiple games in a week which helps us give us depth as well as options to compete on every front
3. His experience would definitely help Lukaku better his game
4. Since Rooney vacated the No. 10, we have lost one of our shirt sellers and Ibrahimovic definitely brings that as well
5. I think Mourinho wanted additional firepower when it came to the strikers. We can now rely on Lukaku/ Zlatan/ Rashford as well as Martial which is a similar philosophy Ferguson had when he Cole/ Yorke/ Sheringham/ Solskjaer
6. Which brings me to my main reason, with Zlatan probably leaving at the end of summer, I feel we may actually go in for a striker and what better than to have Griezmann who would take over the No. 7 as well as integrate in the French speaking contingent (which Mourinho had mentioned about causing Martial to settle in this season)

If Dembele is worth roughly 150M (including bonus), 100M (from January onwards) for Griezmann is an absolute bargain.
(quoting "roughly 150M", you know, the +/- 10 or 20M doesn't really matter in this hyper-inflated market anymore, the world has turned upside down)
1. A club as big as Manchester United, if not the biggest (factors including finance, winning mentality, etc)
2. Strong team
3. Mourinho's effect
4. Aim for trophies, especially CL
His versatility of playing at AM/SS/RW and "you would fit a player of his quality into the system no matter what" counter the main argument against signing him like other positions of LB/RB/RW/LW should be given priorities. Even if his position clashes with Mkhi/Mata, he will be a huge upgrade and Jose will fit them into the system given their versatility.
As long as Barca don't hijack him from us (even after signing Dembele, who knows), I firmly believe Jose will want him and he will sign for us in Jan/next summer.

I think he is the only chance we have of getting a ready made world class attacker in the next 12 months.
He will leave and I make us the favourites.
My only concern is if Dembele doesn't work out and Barca try for Griezmann.
Fairly certain he will be a United player within 12 months. Looks a bargain at that release clause too.

Imagine by the end of January, our attacking options could include:
Lukaku, Rashford, Martial, Griezmann and Ibrahimovic
Lukaku, Rashford, Martial, Griezmann and Ibrahimovic
Man City is stacked. I honestly don't see the point. By this logic a CL winning team should spend at least half a billion in attack.
Just a super condensed reply, AG is a better fit for La Liga and possession football. I don't see him having the fortitude/size to be successful in EPL. I also would caution Jose to think about dropping 100 mil plus (maybe like 159 mil?) on a player that is not EPL tested. Finally, if he is successful he will go to Barca or Real anyways. So, at most he will stay for 2 years. He will leave around his prime for less than what MU paid for.
so much wrong this this post.
atletico don't play possession football
size is fecking irrelevant.
being epl tested is fecking irrelevant.
you're acting like he's some unknown quantity that Madrid or Barca aren't aware about. and he isn't going to alteticos rivals anyway. what are you on?
