To avoid paying massive taxes since french authorities will consider the release clause as a signing bonus for neymar
the situation
What ? I thought that rule about the spanish release clauses had changed and now the clubs can pay it too and it doesnt have to come through the player.
The United transfer related tweets seems to have stopped, i get the impression the list of players given by Mourinho to Woody might have been limited to a handful of players and that we don't have the level of scouting in place to go beyond that.
I was going to say that's stupid, but this is Pep we're dealing with.
Stil find it funny he had Clichy and Sagna playing some quasi full back / defensive midfield role.
The taxes of the release clause.
So far as the Spanish authorities are concerned, yes. It appears the French have not got the memo
Neymar to teammates: "I'm going to PSG". Barca would then match the €100m release clause for Griezmann.
Surely that makes no sense? Griezmann refused to leave earlier in the summer due to Atletico's transfer ban, so why should he move now?
The change from the Spanish authorities is that triggering the release clause is now considered as a capital gain instead of a bonus payment from your employer.
It isn't taxable in England or Germany but I wouldn't be surprised if it was different in France. We love to make things complicated.
Mourinho is still expecting 1 or 2 more signings. I would rather the tweets dry up than us chasing Ronaldo, Asencio, Neymar, and then Lewandowski each week. Woody has learned how to operate in the market, and he will deliver at least 1 more target.
Imagine the caf if Griezmann said yes to Barca. 
Yup
Feck aff.
Imagine the caf if Griezmann said yes to Barca.
feck me
now i want it to happen....just kiddingThis whole thing might have been on the cards for a while. Perhaps that's really why he stayed. To wait for a Barca move?
Or, because Atletico have a transfer ban and he didn't want to leave them in the shit. Neymar and Griezmann don't even play the same position, it's lazy journalism.
I gave up on Griezmann at OT when he opted to stay, couldn't care less if he joins Barca.
I don't think Barca are that discrete and Pogba would be too happy .
Pep Guardiola - The Genius Manager who needs to buy an whole team to win something.
It has always seemed clear that Barcelona would be his favorite destination, the only problem was that they didn't had an opening on their first eleven, now they have one so...
Pep's genius lies in the way he uses the players when he has the kind he wants. He was never a huge groomer of young talent. Caf is way too cruel to him though. No one will care how much he spent if he makes it work.
Imagine the caf if Griezmann said yes to Barca.
I'm a pretty level headed chap, and I'd go ruddy mental if that happened
I have a sneaky feeling that if Barca really wanted him, Griez would abandon Atleti..
You can trigger the clause but it's up to the player to decide if he wants to go or not.
If Barcelona trigger his release clause it will be because his agent had assured them that he'd sign.
No point us getting involved.
Assuming this is true, surely we would be better placed to also trigger the clause and make it a 2-way battle? With Agent Pogba also in the mix, have to hope we'd be better-placed if he were indeed to decide to move this window...
For what it's worth, don't think AG will move this window. Would look like too much of a twat to the Atleti support - specially if he were to move within La Liga...
His brother won't allow that. His brother is desperate for him to join us.
Tbf his advisor wanted him to join United this summer and quit because he didn't.
As a neutral, this saga has been quite funny for me.
Probably because right now moving to Barca or PSG is considerably preferable to ourselves.
Imagine the caf if Griezmann said yes to Barca.
Or PSG...
If Madrid are transfer banned how is that his fault?
People need to relax. Barca have been linked to Coutinho, Dybala and now Griezmann in just 2 days time. They are panicking and doing all this to save face. Or it's just the media making up stories.
Griezmann won't move to barca at least this transfer window after signing a new improved contract. Also they might be looking for someone similar to Neymar (if he leaves) as a wide forward or winger type in Dembele or coutinho.
Finally, a rational answer to the reason as to why he has the genius tag. The cafe can be so short-sighted when it comes to analysing Pep. Just attack the "genius" tag without as much as a knowledge as to why he got that tag on the first place.
Well they can still sell players, just not register once bought. So his advisor must have wanted Griezmann to join us regardless.
Barca yes sure, but PSG is questionable. Also, that's not the point as Griezmann stayed due to Atletico's transfer ban as opposed to the clubs after him.
