It just shows you how a top club striving to improve should be run.

United persist with the likes of Lingard, Young and Jones giving them endless opportunities even though they have been stinking the place up for years.

Barcelona have Coutinho, Dembele and Malcolm and they could easily say ‘let’s give them another year to see if they can progress’, but no, they go out and sign Griezmann. And De Jong.

Will be interesting to see how him and Messi fit.

Coutinho is being sold.

What an absolute cnut this guy is. Sick of mercenaries like him. Woody, keep well away. Would probably want out after 6 months.

He's probably got 50 voicemails from Woodward already

He has played for two clubs and he is 28.

Could be our next failed number 7. Think of the shirts he would sell though.

Publicly flirted with different clubs for two consecutive seasons. La Decision. Quite.
No, it was already Barcelona and they have been the only club, the guy kind of said that he wouldn't leave Spain.

What do you mean it was already Barcelona? If it was only last season with the ridiculous La Decision bullshit, then fair fecks to him.
Did he not say he was 60% likely going to come to United on a TV show two summer ago?

No, he was asked a stupid question in a talk show and gave a stupid answer.

The more I think about it, the more I think this is another panic move from the Barcelona board.

I don't see how Messi and Griezmann fit together.

Griezmann is much more of a SS type than a lone striker.

There's not much to suggest Dembele will be sold
Coutinho is 99% gone
Malcom won't be used much anyways if Valverde stays. Might be loaned/sold

They have been chasing him since last summer

How are Barca affording all this? That's nearly £200m spent already this summer and they still want De Ligt.

Yeah after their Roma debacle last season.

They don't fit together at all. I'd be surprised if they manage to get the best out of Griezmann.

Would have tried signing wingers and not a support striker.
