I'd be pretty happy it's done with before it really gets going/gets tedious.
Then we can muppet about all the other players we're gonna sign.

Best description of him you can give really, sums him up.
This just became pretty much the strongest transfer rumour I've ever heard.
While I would love to have more striker options, getting a striker like Lacazette will only serve to impede the progress of Rashford and Martial. Zlatan is probably the best choice at there in terms of quality and the time he will spend with us, that will allow the 2 young strikers to bloom in their own time. I am sure that Jose sees Rashford being our main striker in a year's time as he starts to fill out even more and glean more experience against top-level opponents. A strike partnership of Rashford and Griezmann will be something to behold once they get the required understanding.
...But then marrying the chick and it turning out she's actually a really great wife, I hope.
Doesn't sound too bad if accurate
I agree possibly the best attacking player outside Barca and Real at the moment. At the very least not any worse.
I'm surprised he spoke about his future like this, and even more surprised he spoke about United directly. I'm also not a fan of it since it is not very polite towards his current club.

Tomorrow nights game seriously does depend on our future!
We could already be in advanced negotiations with Atletico if so its not as disrespectful.
Even if what he says is completely true I doubt Atletico would like him to speak about it before anything is confirmed. It doesn't help their position and he is still their player. Regardless it's not a big deal.
Interesting news! We'll see what happens! If he performs like he does in Arletico he'd be the best player in the PL imo.
Yeah agree.
Should keep schtum until it is all signed and the season is over for both clubs.
I agree.
It's all a litlle unusual the way he's gone about it but he has a release clause, if any club pays it then Atletico are powereless really and it is in Griezmann's hands.
Still i get your point its not a very dignified way of going about things.
Screw respect and dignity. Was Hazard dignified in how he went about his business prior to coming to Chelsea? Most players are mercs and in Griezmann's case he's even a United fan. If he joins us and spends many successful years with us, I couldn't give a monkeys how disrespectful he was to Atletico when he left.
This transfer is a little different to most transfers we will be involved in since there is a release clause and we are willing to pay it
In theory, we could have made a bid for a summer transfer at any point, had it accepted and been in direct contact with Griezmann ever since
I think this one just depends on us being able to convince him that we will back amongst Europe's elite sooner rather than later

This year for him feels like Ronaldo's 2009 with us. He gave Atleti one more year to win the CL but they missed out again and now he's ready for a new challenge with the club he's been a fan of since childhood.
This would be especially true if we do win the EL.

This
I think this also shows how much respect we still have in Europe.
They host is talking about us with real excitement, he doesn't give a crap he plays for Atletico no matter well they've done the last 4/5 years.
Once we get our foot back in the door again I can see us really thriving once again. Winning this Wednesday is so, so important.

Just join us already.His heart is already here anyway.
Whether we'll qualify for CL next season or not, I doubt he's coming here for that.
Ibra, Pogba and Mkhi agreed to join us to play for the club Manchester United and work with Jose Mourinho.
And then he signs for bayern, your dick isn't good enough... Ouch...
It's not always the case though, if Agreement have been met and there's only formality i dont think both clubs would mind.
He didn't explicitly says anything, just a hint.
What's disrespectful is if the club hasn't made contacts and the players comes out first.
Led by an attacker/forward who went 7 months without a league goal
I highly doubt he'll come here if we dont make the CL. If he joins, he can play behind the striker as I'd be willing to bet on Rashford and Martial to deliver next season if played in a no. 9 position
He is going to A.Madrid. The Lyon president has already said so but its subject to the ban being lifted.

It's about time we started using our size and position to bully other clubs and get their players just like Bayern, Real and Barca does. No more gentleman behaviour - just get the best players.
A club like athletico can feck right off. They don't deserve a player like the Griz and they have no right keeping him in a cage thinking no one can approach him. I'm awfully tired of these long negotiations with us having to pull down our pants and lean forward when it should be the other way around.
A typical move by the big clubs would be tapping the player up and bid well below the clause and make sure the player misbehave in such a way that they possibly couldn't keep him. That interview is nothing less than I expected before the club moves in on him. He should already be gone in their minds, just like DDG is for us.

Then perhaps we should finish above 6th and regularly play for the top competitons rather than scrapping past fodder in the Europa. It isn't glamerous
Can we get the best out of him and Pogba in the same team?
Been a while since we had a world class leftie cock in hand
cock in handNo, probably not.
Well yes, a diamond or a 3-5-2. I doubt we'll use those systems with any regularity, though.
It comes in stages. If you look at Madrid for example - They sent around 800m euros and 'only' had a league to show for it. But all that spending meant they were assembling a hell of a squad which is now paying dividends in the last 2/3 years.
Could work but we'd be lacking width unless Valencia and Shaw could provide that. Mata and Mkhitaryan could easily interchange with Silva tho so it would have its advantages.
You guys are rough sometimes
Just think he's a bit wee. I suppose if we drop Martial we could fit him in, just think we're suckered for always buying the same position rather than what we need.You better stick to digging up that 500k thread mate
Watch people on here and other football forums (especially opposition fans) do a complete u-turn on this and label him 'overrated' if he signs for us. We've seen this with Pogba last summer. I can already see Glaston claiming Harry Kane to be a better player than him.
He's off then.
Very contradictory in saying he wants titles but then says he's happy to go to USA or China as its part of the "trend".
He clearly wants money too. We can help with that.
Can't wait for us to start tracking planes again...that's my favorite part.
