I don't understand how it could possibly be on our end that the deal has stopped... We have the money, we're apparently prepared to spend a lot of it. We need him.
It's clearly on his or Atletico

We were 'close' to signing him 6, 7 days ago too.
Never yeah. I don't think Barca will leave anyone of the MSN to leave at all. They won't be able to replace a player like Neymar that easily.
Since when did girlfriends have so much power
Like my gradfather used to say:
"Un Pelo de cuca jala mas fuerte que una yunta de bueyes".
Please don't ask for the translation...
God we have the worst fecking negotiators.
I'm not a muppet. The opposite, in fact. I'm taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture, rather than letting my emotions get carried away with ever slither of 'news' from a tweet.
If you look at the story in its entirety, the evidence still points towards him signing for us. Griezmann made a PR blunder with Atletico fans by saying he was 6/10 of the way towards signing for us. This is just him trying to avoid being hated. Hell, Rooney once said 'once a Blue, always a Blue' but then signed for us soon after. There are dozens of other examples besides that.
I don't see any of these deals being that likely.
Lukaku will head to Chelsea.
Morata to Milan.
Belotti? Why would United release him for £84m and not Griezmann?
As it stands, I think Bale will be our marquee signing.

I'm thinking the same. Saving face in front of Atletico fans only to declare he's leaving later.
Yeah, convincing them that he'll stay and then feck off later probably won't get him hated at all
Though like you I haven't given up either. Not until he confirms that he's staying.
I don't understand why we want him I really don't. And if that's true... what's he done to be worth that!
That's what I said upthread.. I mean, obviously I doubt he'd be desperate to leave.
But the sort of money we're apparently willing to entertain spending on Lukaku (and Griezmann before) would make Spurs think twice, at least.
Because he would cost an absolute fortune and might well not want to come.
Negotiating with Levy probably is the biggest reason. They'd want like £100m minimum.
Loyal to Spurs. Supports them and has been there for a long time.
52m...fecking hell.
It's at the point you may as well go all in and sign a truly world class left sided winger/forward i.e. Bale or Sanchez. I'm pretty sure 75-80m would land one of those two.
We're just spunking money on the same position over and over again, the team isn't getting better because we're replacing 60m players (Martial) with 55m players (Perisic). Same with Att mid spend 40m on Mata then spend 30 odd mil on Mkhitaryan it's a shambles.
If that's the actual fee Woodward needs to get the feck away from our transfer operations. The same price as Silva, who's twice the player Perisic is ffs.
It's probably true, but considering that we will be left with two strikers in Rashford and Martial, we will definitely need to buy someone up top. And that is irrespective of the fact that Jose will find a solution to add goals from midfield.
Lukaku wasn't our first choice apparently. But we need a striker as we can't rely on Rashford yet and we don't know what will happen to Ibra.
So you'd suggest to rely on Rashford and Martial?
We were not transfer banned and they payed 80 m in full in one go.
If the only other options was to tie our future to Lukaku? Yes, I'd play a 3-5-2 and use them in a striker partnership, neither can lead the line on their own but maybe in a two they can compliment each other.
Martial scored 17 goals in first season so he's capable of it but we need to improve the balance to score more team goals and not rely on one man. Still would want griz next season.
I can believe what I want; doesn't make it nonsense. I have a gut feeling it's done and I guess we will soon see. I'm not saying this about you but people in general are just knee-jerking to any and every tweet that gets posted; that is genuine nonsense.
Well, good to see my earlier post was for nothing. Closing thread a bit longer. Griezmann transfer is done with (for now) get over it. This is the twitter thread for tweets, not bemoaning or wondering why the Griezmann thing went south. Don't listen to Pilib's conspiracy theories.
For the past few days it had been said that if the Atletico transfer ban stood, Griezmann wouldn't want to leave them in the lurch and leave. That is all it boils down to. Move on.

[Bilel Ghazi - L'Équipe] - Regarding Alexandre Lacazette, the three clubs that could benefit from Atletico's ban, Manchester United clearly ahead of Arsenal and Borussia Dortmund(twitter.com)
Seems like he's a specialist on Lyon too from his bio.
Barca are pretty hamstrung by MSN wages. If Valverde wants to make changes they may have to look into dismantling it. Neymar would be the easiest one to sell for a truckload of money.
It means in/at.That headline appears to read No United, does no mean yes in Portuguese?
Anyone seen Pogba's Instagram post? Seems a bit off when taken into his "watch this space" comment and Griezmann tweet about staying. I still think the transfer is not over yet.
Nah, it's over. At least for this summer. Griezmann has to be willing to join too which isn't likely now. I can't see him leave Atletico behind like that.
