Transfer Tweets - Summer 2017 | Keep it on topic

He's much, much better imo. We can't rely on them as our striker force next year, just can't.

Nothing suggests he will be in this league though.. that's not a reason not to give someone a chance I know but for me Rashford and Martial especially have the ability to be much better I think.

That's a huge risk, to rely on them.

By that logic Griezmann wouldn't do good in PL too.
 
Saving face in front of the fans obviously.

Yeah, I will possibly go, 6/10... Then story about him wanting to go out which he didn't deny immediately. Now, after we apparently cooled our interest he is more than ever Atletico. He would also look better if he kept his mouth shut.

On the other topic, don't mind that Lacazette tweet.
 
So is spending £50m on a player who might transfer his goal scoring exploits in a weaker league and pinning all your hopes on him to do the business.
Did I say all your hope?

We shouldn't buy outside the mighty PL then so not to risk it.

No but a player who scores goals consistently in the French league (Like Cavani who still many don't rate) isn't guaranteed to come over here and carry on doing so whereas someone like Lukaku has previous in this league so we know he can do it.
 
That's exactly what I mean, I don't rate Lukaku any more than I did Bent or Defoe, goal stats alone don't alter what a limited and technically poor fopotballer he is, he's not a player that will make this team any better, he's essentially an inferior version of Ibra.
Let's be honest, there aren't so many superior versions of Ibra out there.

I am not a fan of Lukaku tbh, but if he comes here and scores 30-35 goals next season, which I think he is more than capable of in our team, then a lot of people will change the opinion about him.

It isn't guaranteed but it's a risk worth taking. Instead of pinning your hope that Martial and Marcus will come good. And Ibra will be the same.
 

This hurts, right now I actually feel this is the worst transfer not to happen ever. Worse than Thiago, worse than Ronaldinho, worse than Hazard.
Allthough I ultimately trust Jose and his transfers, I really don't see myself getting excited over a transfer again this window. There's noone out there I really, really want.
Meltdown completed!
 
Griezmann not coming is depressing as feck, exactly the player we needed. The other players we're linked to hardly get the juices flowing either. He's the only genuine World class player who was available. :(

Hoping Martial and Rashford won't cost us £50m though, I'm not saying he is a bad player but if Jose wants to play with one up front I don't see this guy being the one to do it.

What I meant was that we weren't great with Ibra, a player who requires that the entire attack is catered to his needs, Lukaku is the same, he needs the whole system geared towards him, but he's not good enough to merit it, and if we couldn't do all that well with Ibra we aren't going to do any better with a lump like Lukaku in his stead with even more limitations in his style of play.
 
Maybe, maybe not signing Griezmann will turn into a blessing in disguise. :lol:

Not even close, that one was the worst for me, it's only the June 1st so Greizmann never really got going, and far play to him for standing by his club in times of strife, can't win them all.
 
Mourinho said it's very unlikely to get your plan A so I doubt this too much. He wouldn't have put all his eggs in this basket. I'm sure he has about 2-3 plans in place.
I dunno. He put all his eggs in the Wayne Rooney basket in 2013 and he never left. Jose was convinced up until the final few days of the window he'd get his man. Hope he didnt plan on Griezmann to solve our problems.
 
I wished Griezmann a nice wedding night earlier, now I hope he gets pissed and can't get the fecker up!
 
I'm struggling to think of anyone available who is going to take us up a level.
 
I hope there is some excitement for us. You felt the excitement of winning the EL final and the signings it could lead to. Now you look at the names linked and that we likely would have got them anyway. I just feel incredibly flat at the moment. Hopefully the mood will lift.
 


This is what I'm most worried about Jose's relationships at clubs go down hill after he hasn't got what he wanted in the transfer window I'm genuinely worried about next season now
 
A Liverpool fan at work sent me the tweet with a row of laughing emojis. :(
Wait till we sign Griezmann, he will have to hide from you. Or any other muppet signing.

A Liverpool fan laughing at you, ask him how are their signing going.
