I can see Salah going next summer. Either to PSG as a replacement for Neymar or to Madrid as a back-up plan for Neymar or Barca as a statement to keep the pace. That or he's a bit of a one season wonder.Reports of Barca interest in Salah.
Obviously a shill after the Ramos saga, but imagine if Barca sign Salah from Liverpool thus summer or the next leaving us free to poach Griezmann. Two birds, one stone.
Yeah, a front three of Griezmann, Sanchez and Lukaku doesn't have anyone that can reliably beat players individually. They'd both opt to drift inside and make us quite narrow, which wouldn't be ideal.
Why would it be idiotic? That’s where he’s played the majority of his games at United.
Right, I get you
It would make us quite narrow but with actual fullbacks that can both defend and get down the line properly, it would be mitigated somewhat.
There's a giant thread discussing all the ways you're wrong here if you're interested.
Yeah I agree. Not many players are great dribblers now with consistency though - off the top of my head I can only think of Hazard or Messi that I will spend good money on as consistent dribblers who can beat a man... most of the dribblers I see are too inconsistent and I think will lose the ball too often for jose's liking. You can run as fast as you like, but the ball always moves faster, and opponents who are intelligent will always be that one step ahead of you. Griezmann is not the fastest player around, but he has good acceleration and his ability to sniff out space is great. He started off playing as a winger too right? Having more intelligent attackers means opposing defenders cannot just focus on 1 or 2 of our players. This will also give Lukaku and Sanchez more space to work with, not to mention more options for our CMs to pass the ball too. Anyway all conjecture, even now, since the Kohler deal is not officially confirmed as of yet.
The world moves on. At one stage, biting your thumb was offensive. Things change. Blackface is cool now.
The theory is that the United officials put this Griezmann deal on the negotiations table: "Okay we are going to get Griezmann, a high profile player, to raise our profile and number of fans around the globe. Deal is already confirmed. Hence we will expect to receive more sponsorship monies due to this increased popularity and coverage that we will enjoy."
Are you taking the piss? Since when was blackface cool in 2018? Honestly this place is so backwards at times.
No. Can't stand the guy, he's an attention whore.Feck it, @Ban @Schmiznurf we along for the ride here after the Kohler rumour coming to fruition?
I swore it wouldn’t happen again after last year...but feck it I’m in a great mood so I’ll set my camp up in here for the summer...
but maybe in a few days. Actually, we're crying out for a player who can play out on the right for us.
So next season, when we are chasing a goal in the 75th minute of a game, can we throw the proverbial everything and a literal kitchen sink at our opponents?
Exactly. Hasn't exactly gone well has it, hardly got the best out of him, because that's not his position.
As I understand it, he wasn't involved in the deal itself he just had a conversation with a high ranking Kohler representative who was familiar with it. He also admitted the transfer the guy was talking about could be Fred but he was 80% sure it was Griezmann.
Well the Goal article is just speculating the amount as of now. Kohler guy could also change his tune and say 10m each for 2 years, so 20m in total.
The reply was directed at myself and I assumed it was a joke. Could be wrong though.
Since Antoine Griezmann posted himself as a Harlem Globetrotter and ushered in a new age of acceptance and understanding in the world. People understood that he was just using it as a costume prop, and not to offend people. So they used their common sense to understand the meaning behind his actions, and so there was no shitstorm. Top guy.
He did say it was per year as someone quoted Chelsea’s £10m p/a deal.
I think those searches are for a cricketeer? kohler-cadmore?
Absolutely....but just watch bitter blues and Scousers claim we tap'ped him up and showered him with riches.
Thanks I get that but it seems quite amateurish that we have to drop big name players that may or may not arrive.
Seems it's more to do with a cricketer with the same naneFor those of you who don't want to click through:
Kohli?
If this is indeed a marketing strategy, I'm not sure what to feel about it.For those of you who don't want to click through:
Yeah he was a winger at Sociedad and converted into a second striker by Simeone. He can whip a good cross in too.
Good point, and the guy on Reddit seems to possibly be part of the Kohler contract team, so it might be his actual job to do stuff like this.
