The Manchester United Thread

[kitchin75]

I was out to catch either an Arsenal or Liverpool fan with that post, didn't think a United fan would take the bait. Proceed

But out of curiousity, why "dream on"?

ofc you were jog on

By no means Griezmann is unattainable. Simeone is leaving Atletico and Griezmann has refused a new contract apparently and is looking for a challenge is also his own agent now after cutting ties with his old one. I would love us to hoe for Griezmann next Summer. Then have an attack if Mou sticks with 4231 of

Either Zlatan or Rashford up top
Martial on the left, Griezmann at 10, then Mky on the right.

Sell Rooney, Young. Not sure Januzaj, Wilson, Memphis will all survive next summer either.

Or what? It's a FORUM

And even though I haven't been as here as long as most of you, in my time here I certainly think I've contributed as much if not more than you. I'm sure "thay" would agree (that's so annoying btw).

So you ​jog on

Giving you back your own suggestion back, you're the guy with all the correct opinions, rules and consequences apparently... if someone disagrees with you, then it's "jog on" time - so why don't you tell me?

People spent most all of last year banging on about the Brazilian Pereira and what a fantastic talent he is.

If he's that good, why would you want another massive name for yet more ridiculous money standing in his way? Mata's only 28. There's your one-two punch as a 10 right there.

when did i say that it was you with the post saying i only put that post to bait liverpool or gunners fans

 

[RhQQ]

I asked you a question; "why dream on?" as in putting the banter aside, why would it be impossible to sign Griezmann if we happened to be interested in him - but as you probably had no reason, you told me to jog on.

And Scouse, I agree. But if Manchester United do not finish in the top 4 this season, then expect another signing like this.

Don't be that A-hole mate. No need.

If you miss the top 4 and the Champions league for in effect the 3rd time in 4 years being as you crashed out an easy group the one year you were in, on top of getting a Europa League **** kicking last year, and let's for ***** and giggles say the Europa League campaign this year doesn't go far; what makes you think someone like Greizmann would want to come no matter the amount of money you threw at him?

The longer you stay away fro Europe's top table, and major trophy contention, the more top players will be 'thanks but no thanks.'

Money isn't everything. Pogba for one was full of it that he wanted to go Madrid under Zidane until it became apparent that Madrid weren't interested down to their financial complications right now with UEFA.

 

[Scouseinthehouse]

You can't afford to miss the top 4 again. But with Chelsea and City's money having them joining 4 of the traditional big 5 (Arsenal, L'pool, Utd and Tottenham) to now make a 'Big 6', 2 major clubs at least are going to miss out each season going forward.

But Utd can't afford it to be them again and have your stature fall even further. You just can't.

As it happens, I don't think you will. But the very real possibility is there.

Tbh Periera started having better performance at under 21 level playing deeper as a CM. Even his few appearances in the first team have been as a CM.

Don't remember Pogba or Riola saying he wanted to go to Madrid just that Riola had said there had been discussions. It was Zidane and ******* bleating on about how Pogbaonly wanted Madrid.

I may be mistaken, but I was pretty sure I'd read quotes from him the start the summer. But regardless, the point was if Madrid weren't in the strife they're in, and were still able to do their usual 'We'll pay whatever for whoever just because we can', there's a darn good chance he wouldn't now be in Manchester. And the longer you stay away from Europe's top table, as was suggested, the harder it gets to entice a Greizmann regardless of the money.

Pogba never made moves towards Madrid this year, it's why Marca made sly digs at him. He wasn't going there.

dream on if you think we are geting griezman

It's far from an unlikely transfer. His release clause is £85.5m, Lord Woodward won't hesitate to trigger that if necessary. Simeone is the main reason why Antoine extended his contract, so with the manager leaving soon it wouldn't be a surprise to see Griezmann follow him or even leave before he goes. We have a few of his France team-mates to help convince him to come here, his brother is a United fan too, we can compete with anyone in Europe when it comes to ridiculous wages...I'd say we're the favourites to sign him.

As for the talk of having plenty of attacking options already, well I wouldn't be surprised if the #10 shirt is available or on someone else's back this time next year. Memphis hasn't been given much of a chance even with Mkhitaryan injured & Martial off form and dropped after a minor injury, so unfortunately he'll probably be off soon too. Januzaj might not come back, Lingard is a backup player, Young is nearing the end of his time here, Zlatan will most likely only stay on for a year; and if Andreas Pereira has a future here it doesn't necessarily have to be in the attacking midfield position or on the flanks because he could play deeper. It's not like our players are in red hot form anyway, so why shouldn't we go after a top forward who just gets better with each passing year?

real will be out of bother by then so only seeing him going 1 place

We tried to sign him earlier but the Arsenal board didn't feel that he was worth the release clause which has increased from £75.5 Million to £85.5 Million due to the fallen exchange rate. They were hoping to get Griezmann for £50-60 Million if Atletico got Costa and Vardy didn't sign. We didn't get any of them in the end and signed Lucas Perez.

U18s drew 1-1 against bottom of the league Sunderland. Very similar to our Stoke game, dominated had a shed load of chances to win it could of scored 4-5 in each half. They took the lead after a mistake by our GK then we levelled up near the end of the second half. O Conner was MOTM imo was a beast. Still remain top of the league. Ih yeah Hamilton with our assist and Barret with the goal.
