Arsenal ;) Griezmann said in an interview on French TV it's possible he could join Utd. Then said odds were 7/10. :)

Southampton with Sakho and Smalling at centte half.

My word that has the potential for comedy gold game-on-game. One week it could look completely solid. The next a 90 minute walking calamity waiting to happen.

Be a sad day for everyone bar Utd fans when Smalling is no longer there.

He'd walk into Everton's side as a Jagielka successor? As clumsy as he can be, he's an honest defender that would be a slight upgrade on Funes Mori? (although haven't seen a lot of him second half of the season)
 
So he says: "Lets talk next season. What comes to mind if I say "Manchester United". Grizou says "Possible".

Then the guy says "If 10 means you've already (secretly) signed, where would you say you're at right now?" and Grizou says "7".

The guy asks if he realizes what he's saying and Grizou says yes. Then the guy asks if it's the first time he's said this publicly and Antoine says yes once again.


From Griezmann live TV interview today.
 
Wouldn't be surprised to see a Jones/Smalling pairing on Wednesday tbh. I know it's made out to be a matter of which of the 2 will play alongside Blind, but Mou always seems to be more comfortable with physical CB's, I doubt a European final would lessen that.

And who knows, what's to say all 3 won't play...
 
Just seen that Griezzmann T.V. interview via twitter, very interesting, especially considering he has such respect for Atletico, this definitely isn't a wind up by him.

I'd say this move may depend on two things: -

1) Us acquiring CL

2) Atletico's transfer ban

The ban won't matter imo. Just CL which we've known all along.
 
But even us acquiring CL may not matter as him and his brother been United fans since childhood.
 
Bit worried what does this for Pereira mind you, if Grizzi comes. I really want to see Pereira get a shot next season.
 
If Griezmann signs as Striker it won't affect Pereira? but if he's signed as AM/Winger maybe
 
Pereira will be fine mate. He can be a creative CM for us, has played and done well there for Granada, which is very useful to have as once Pogba's unavailable, as we've seen this season, we have nobody like him in midfield to deputize. Pereira can be that creative decisive free man in a midfield 3, as well as other attacking positions. Very useful player to have. He'll get more than get his shot of games

Hope he's not signed as a striker, he's best when just off the striker, in some capacity. Remember in Euros when he fed off Giroud like a predator, think it was Giroud anyway.

Hope you're right buddy!
 
IF! We do get Griezmann and Silva I wonder if that means Rashford will start as the main STR next season. Maybe till Zlatan is back or will Mou go for a decent back like Hernandez?

Agree, he's best when played behind the ST in the #10 role

I dont think its changed that much at all. I dont think where we finish will change too much at all. He will come if he believs we can stay back in there. Obviously winning the EL is helps, but I suspect it will be more down what convinces him we can be in tehr week in and week out. As ever people are convinced by who is going where. Genuinely think Pogba is more of an influence than anything else. In the same way we saw a cluster of Brazilians go to City, and Gundogan sign purely because of Pep, people shouldnt underestimate those things as swing factors
