I’m weak.

This is too much thinking Vancouver. I would love to believe all this tbh
 
The real question is why is the net behind DDG not on the line?

And why are there a bunch of people standing there?

He’s been on for a few minutes now and talking about generic stuff.

What he said about Griezmann is that lots of media reports are saying AG to Barca has died down and won’t be happening. That’s all that’s been said right now. No mention of United with those reports but no real mention of AG staying at Atletico either...just that him to Barca won’t be happening so there is a chance he does end up going to United.
 
As you said, these are highly valued players, so who can we get to play as such a high level on our right wing?

And saying that Griezmann can only be at the end of those chances is not true. He has 10 assists to go with his 29 goals this season. Not fair to label him as an Inzaghi clone. We do lack left footed attackers - only Mata and Lukaku comes to mind - so having Griezmann means we have a better option on the RW if we choose to play him in a 433. As the season wore on, I saw Lukaku drifting out to the RW pretty often too, but when he did so, there was a lack of options in the box to link up with or pass to. Having Griezmann means this will change and opposing defenders have 1 more issue to deal with rather than just focus on Lukaku and Sanchez.

Anyway it's all just conjecture for now. I prefer to hang on and enjoy this Muppet ride while it lasts! All aboard the Muppet Coaster!

Yes I agree, The lack of presence in the box when Lukaku moves to the half spaces is definitely an issue and something Griezmann would solve. But I also feel that Lukaku should be in the box on the end of chances not on the wings. This ploy cannot be our go-to tactic in games.

With regard to Griezmann, yes he has 10 assists but if you compare his stats to Ribery, Douglas Costa, Neymar and Sane, its quite telling. The aforementioned players create nearly double the no. of key passes, no. of chances per 90 and considerably more successful take-ons/dribbles per 90 mins. And just watching Griezmann play shows that he cant bring to the table what the aforementioned players can. If we didnt already have Sanchez, I would be happy to have Griezmann here since hes a better player and more suited to the role of a second striker to play off Lukaku. But I cannot fathom that our scouting department cannot zero on some targets that can fulfill the role that we really need on the RW instead of buying another marquee player who will seemingly not solve our RW problem.

Anyway, all one can do is hope is that im completely wrong about this and if Griezmann joins us, he fits in supremely well. Im hesitantly boarding the muppet-coaster with you. :)
 
With all the activity in this thread I was expecting to see at least a half credible journalist reporting something, but there's literally nothing.

We have each other and we have hope. Muppet power :drool:

Woooooow.. why the hate? I actually like his no bullshit transfer talks. Apart from the clickbait titles, FTD are ok.

Yeah they are ok. Just his clickbait shite is so pathetic and his opinions on everyone that is not him are grating. Not sure who he thinks he is. He is a laugh at times though to be fair. Yeah, I went over the top just hate these fan channels, especially that "United stand" one want to punch that guy right in the twatter.
 
Haven’t really bought into this but I don’t think Howson would be posting about Griezmann if he wasn’t so convinced.

He’s trying to go mainstream and spreading lies wont help his reputation.
 
Can't get that excited about this for some reason, even if I did think it was true. I feel like the ship has sailed with him and I don't think he's what we really need.
 
What's that supposed to mean? It's really scraping barrel -- even for a Muppet like myself.
He's talking about the child labour in the photo used to make Uniteds gear......

yep, its one of those "opinion on everything" whether they know or not just so they can get views and hope that it is generic enough not to get a backlash from viewers. Exposure for the sake of exposure.
 
Have we had any of the following yet:

  • "He's not what we need"
  • "He will stunt Rashfords development"
  • "Martial is the better player"
?

Can't get that excited about this for some reason, even if I did think it was true. I feel like the ship has sailed with him and I don't think he's what we really need.

and we have a winner!!
