That's a rubbish excuse to try saving face the club have leaked that. We were linked for a STR before the season ended as soon as Zlatan got injured as well as Griezmann. This is dead because of there hearing today. Fair play to Griezmann tbh, sticking by the club. Won't be surprised if it arranged for next season.

yeah i still think he will arrive but not this summer,after the world cup
 
People saying we're going after a ST now that Griezmann isn't coming..?

Griezmann was never meant to be our ST...
 
He's gone up massively in my estimations though. Maybe he goes next year. But he will do it when it's right for the club as well as him.
 
Sounds like Perisic is close Di Marzio, Sky Italia, Claudio Laudista all reporting 45m Euros including wages. Very happy with that! Brings pace and directness and a genuine out and out winger to the team. Who's great with both feet and has a wicked cross and chips in with goals also had a decen free kick.

Also a a very reliable journo on Lyon who works for L, Equipe is saying we are now faves for Lacazzete. Would be a fantastic ST signing. Pace, Movement, Clinical finisher. Think he has like 110 goals in his last 4 seasons. Coming into his prime years and reported 53m is a snip in today's market. Let's see how it develops over the next days or so.
 
i would be happy with lacazette.Hope griezmann doesnt come to regret not moving this year,all it takes is a bad injury or poor world cup to ruin any hopes he has of a big move.And we all know how a few players emerge at a world cup and catch the eye

Or the other big obvious your negating. Utd to dip out the Champions League again.

6 top teams chasing 4 spots from here on out. 2 major players are going to miss out each year regardless.

cant even begin to contemplate that scouse tbh.but of course it could happen...possibly...maybe....nah
 
I don't really care about whether Zlatan is staying or going tbh because if he stays then he won't be ready for start of season anyway. So we need a no.9 regardless of what Zlatan does, I'd prefer for him to just go so we can move on tbh, half a season more out of him after ACL at best isn't exactly enticing.

Did you see the vid he posted his garden the other day?

He's barely fast walking nor lightly jogging. People are so gullible these days.

Despite what people think he's not a superhero, I'll be surprised if he comes back from this injury the same player. He'll probably still bag goals, but at what cost to our overall play? Teams can play a high line against us with Zlatan up top.

Ivan Perisic: Of players to score 10+ goals in Europe's top 5 leagues last season, only 1 had a worse conversion rate than Perisic (10.6%)

------

Sums up my thoughts about Perisic tbh, if it happens. Decent player, but inconsistent and we're signing him more for his work-horse attitude Jose loves than anything else.

Last thing we need is another attacker who can't convert!

Argh, I'm so mixed on Perisic, but overall not that happy if it happens. Think we could of done better.

He'll be our new Nani.
 
Tbh having seen most of our attackers last season I would take one that scores 10+ goals in the league! Plus he's not exactly playing in the best of teams as it is. Watching Inter Perisic and Icardi aside made my eyes bleed seriously they've slipped! Hope Perisic is done soon and onto the next :)

With his bad conversation rate though, he won't get anywhere like the chances he does in Serie A, so he needs to take the limited chances he will get here. Which I can't see him doing very well.
 
I don't know why anyone thinks better of Griezzmann now he appears to be staying. Atletico Madrid are in the position they are with this transfer ban because they cheated, so why is being loyal to a cheating club anything to admire?

For me Griezzmann appears to of bottled it, he has been ploying for a United move for months, now suddenly the ban is unheld and he has gone cold. You're telling me he never contemplated the ban getting upheld? Massively stupid if he didn't.

Either way, Griezzmann has only gone down in my thoughts after all this.
