Something just does not add up on the surface on this deal. I really won't be surprised if we are in for him but under everyone's radar since we are still long way from concluding the deal.
Agree terms with the player. Pay the release clause. Boom!
 
This has to be the biggest saga that isn't a saga I've seen on here in a very long time. The sooner we can get a proper saga going the better, something to really sink your teeth into.

Someone we're actually linked to/interested in would be good.

This Griezmann 'saga' fell at the first hurdle.

I don't know why people keep saying stuff like this...it might not seem the most likely, but we are clearly heavily linked with him considering it seemed as though we nearly bought him a year ago.
 
At this point the lines I'm reading between are that the delay in him just saying he's staying in Madrid is because his agent is trying to get him a move which is proving tricky as I don't believe Barca are interested in him anymore (and neither are we)

But we're not at all? How can you say we're heavily linked with him when no journos are talking about him coming to us at all? and they will jump at any chance to link us to anyone. We've had a bloke on reddit and someone on twitter. That's literally it! It's all based on two weak as anything ITK posts.

Post some stories about us being in for him if we're "clearly heavily linked" because I must have missed every single one of them, we're not even mentioned as being a possible destination! It's all about him staying or going to Barca, no one is even pretending he's coming here.

It's just not even a story.

Eh? There's tonnes. Google 'Griezmann United' and most of the first page is stuff from within the last 24 hours alone.
If we weren't at least linked there wouldn't be anything. You might not believe it and I don't know how much chance we have myself, but to say we aren't linked is ridiculous.

Nothing stronger than clickbait.

Regardless, we're obviously linked and I provided an endless supply of what was asked for.

Am I in the fecking twilight zone here or are people trying to pretend they're too cool to even begin to acknowledge the possibility, however unlikely?

Twilight zone.
 
Lemar going to AM. Martial now reportedly requesting to leave. Does this pave the way for Griezmann to come in now?

Or am I clutching at straws?
 
Nothing would need to be paved, if this was happening, it would be very much nearly done by now, I would imagine. This Martial move might even have something to do with who is coming in.
 
I got a text from a pal earlier tonight, saying friend of a friend etc. These things quickly become like Chinese whispers. I'll be amazed if he doesn't sign for Barca.
Lol yeah, wouldn't worry about him signing for United. I think he'll stay at Atletico though.
 
We're just above obvious clickbait shite that you've fallen for.

You asked for stories linking us. There's been hundreds all season and still is. By all accounts we were close to signing him not long ago. To pretend we aren't linked is just trying to be a football hipster. You can admit we are while not thinking he'll come here, which isn't far off where I am with it. Carry on assuming I 'fell for them' though because you fancied creating more narrative.

If we started a Messi to MUFC transfer thread (based on nothing, just like this thread), surely we could get that to 50 pages. I am tempted to create that (Messi) thread, just to see the meltdown, when he doesn't join.

A link has to be something more substantial than Dwight Yorke thinking Pogba should convince him to join us really. Has anybody who is really in the know said anything? Has the agent said anything strange? Has Gianluca DiMarzio twittered anything? Etc. Etc.

A clickbait is not a link.

Buddy. I know you are desperate for some AG action, but you need to let it go.
AG was asked if he wanted to join us last Summer and the official reply was him signing a bigger contract with AM. If that didn't convince you, I don't know what will.
Some people need to learn to take the "hint". Just like if you ask a young girl out on a date and she tells you that she is washing her hair...all week or she is in fact married with kids, it's a polite way of saying, "no".

If we've been linked to the point of nearly signing him, are constantly talked about in the same breath as him in the media and by his own brother to this day, I think it's safe to say there's a link. There being a link doesn't have to mean it's likely to happen.

I'm not desperate at all. Just not pretending there's zero link so I can say 'I told you so, look how smart I am' like some in here.
I'd like him here, think there's some chance but also fully expecting it not to happen at the same time. Going off everything that's happened, that's a pretty logical stance.
Funny how some people are so quick to place their own narrative on others here, specially when they know nothing more but talk in absolutes.
 
Look, i'm sure if we tried, we could make up a plausible story linking him to United that will be picked up by the Star and the Express

And then we'd have links to keep this alive

So, go forth and multiply, my muppets!....i guess?
 
La Decisión - ahora

I don't think anyone posted the tweet about the teasing video. It's actually fun. Like he did 2 videos (2? He wasn't so sure then) and one is going to be linked on twitter or something like that

Be ready - stay connected
 
Fecking hell he has now gone from teasing to being absolutely pathetic. What am I seeing :lol:
 
He's coming to United. Just a feeling. Mind you I said that last summer but oh well :)
 
That's it. He's staying in Spain. If he made that video in English, my muppet-o-meter would have gone from 0 to 3.

On a side note, that doesn't come close to what LeBron will do this Summer. (The Decision Pt 3)
 
I am not ruling Griezmann to United out yet. We came so close last summer, can a player change his mind over 12 months when he was so close to joining? Everything was agreed last summer by all accounts but he stayed for another season. Whats to say he didn't commit to joining us this year? I honestly wouldn't be shocked if he ends up coming to us. Messi and Suarez have cast their doubts on the move to Barcelona now, saying they are concerned he is using Barcelona to get a new deal with Atletico. If Griezmann to Barca was nailed on, I genuinely think Messi at least would be privy to it and wouldn't be speaking of his doubts of it not happening. Not ruling out anything until I see him sign for Barcelona. Can't see him staying at Atlectico
