Personally, i hate when players are bullshiting about loyalty, love and stuff like that. Those things can believe only kids.
If he( and this goes for any player) is loyal why is he signing new contract? Why didn't he say months ago ; " i am staying here whole my life for average wage"?
I love united, i love some players but as much i love them i always know that football is their job where they want to earn money and glory. And if they have better option they will leave. And it is ok for me. If they play with heart for club and good (of course), i don't mind if they flirt with other clubs to get new contract from club or even leaving.
So for griezmann, he is not staying because of loyalty or love for atletico. He is staying either because he thinks that is in his best interest( money, waiting for real or barca transfer or something like that) or he is unambitious person who is settled with the fact that he is god in smaller place and scared to go in a harder challenge.
This is not a rant or angry post because of disappointment because he will not come. We will buy some other top class player. I am just pissed with all those excuses and phrases( from him and some fans).
P.s. if you come all is forgiven antoine
