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.
He's not a new user though, apparently he's a old poster and even today he posted.
If his job was to just hype up the sponsorship deal, he has done his job very well and should be disappearing from reddit any time now.

It is a concern that it's Goal who went with this sleeve sponsor story.
Goal are a joke site but they have some proper journalists working for them. Tbf, anyone can catch wind if something like this.

Yeah my concerns are that it's Goal.com who are reporting this and their figure quoted is pretty low for someone like Woodward to agree to, especially if we did tell them we have a star signing incoming.

Goal could have run the story after reading the reddit too

Don’t believe this Reddit-bloke for a second. Leaking the sponsorship is one thing, you only have to be mates with one person knowing about the deal - but a transfer of this magnitude is something else. If involved in the deal, why would he risk his job to leak sensitive information to a bunch of nerds on an internet forum? Wouldn’t be hard to track him down.

I hope he’s the real deal of course!

Apparently, Atletico Madrid want Lemar, reported by Di Marzio, a replacement for Griezmann?

They have tried to sign him in the last two summers, so no.

They're nothing alike as players but I'd imagine Lemar would be pretty expensive.
I'd imagine that Atletico Madrid would try to covert Lemar into attacking midfield/SS behind striker full time in 4-4-2 like they did with Griezmann as they brought him when he was wingers.

Griezmann was a goalscoring wide player, Lemar is a playmaker.

Griezmann out, Correa to take his place and Lemar to play in left midfield.
If Lemar was to join them that's what I imagine. They already have one of his roles in their set up and no definite starter. He can also play as a #10, that's his initial role but second striker would be very surprising.

Now listen here you! There are people currently on this very forum with their pants down, greased up like butterball chickens, cock in hands and what they don’t need right now is someone like you coming along and throwing a flaccid grenade into the mix.

Don't get your hopes up this early guys. The wounds from last summer took some time healing.

Feck i had started listening to hotline bling

I think the arrival of Costa has added an increased goal threat. So Griezmann's departure would not hurt Atletico if they get Lemar. I also think that Atletico have found it very difficult to find a player that can fill the tactical role Costa did when they won the league.

It should get interesting if Goal's claims are true. The reddit guy will gain some credibility

I've just read that Reddit OP. I think it could just as easily point towards Perisic or Bale.

The guy would be a monumental cnut to use the Kholer deal as a cover to chat shit. If that's the case, hope he's run out of town.
“If you are looking to use the Kholer deal to chat shit, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my Greizmann go now, that'll be the end of it.”

Hmm, someone with incredible movement and attacking ability to play off Lukaku and score lots of goals? That’s exactly what we need...
We need a right winger/someone to play on the right. Griezmann plays more centrally and is more of a second striker.

Never mind that, can you BELIEVE we're putting Kohler on our sleeves? This must be some sort of sick joke. We should just have 'Sharp' written all over the jersey in different fonts.

Worst kept secret in football is Griezmann going to Barca, you can put your house, car and family members on it!
