Yeah, it's gone swimmingly for Atletico bloody Madrid hasn't it! They've managed to get an extra year out of their best player that they were definitely going to lose, and then sign a load of players to start in January, which will facilitate a nice bedding in period so that when Griezmann (and anyone else) leaves his replacement(s) will just slot straight in.

Why would Levy feel insulted? That's already twice the amount he would bid himself.
Glaston's daddy replied.
Even if we go with that formation that only underlines my point. Either there is no position for him due to the formation or he is not good enough to be in that position if we had a formation that required it...
well, this is interesting. Does he not play in the Griezman position left side/inside forward?
So, you only need dead certain starters in a team? Players don't have to fight for their positions? Herrera suits every kind of game and will never get injured or suspended? Etc., etc., etc...
Atletico seem to have a knack for finding excellent forwards. We should have just cut out the middle man and instead of trying to sign Griezmann just ask them who their replacement would be...
Arsenal already signed him lol
We offer £50m straight out for Deir and they would reject knowing we could go more even if we valued him at £50m. If we bid substantially lower, say £25m then we work our way upto the £50m we believe is fair and they come around to agreeing at that price point while thinking they have forced us up.
Or they do a Madrid or Inter (as they have with the Morata and Perisic deals respectively) and reject everything we bid until we reach what they initially wanted. Either way, given that the article is by Delaney and in the Independent, it's probably safe to say that we haven't bid £25m for Dier. If the other reports that were released last night were to be believed, we had a £40m bid rejected.
My preferred choice is Oriol Romeu. He's better and will be cheaper. Why is Jose not keen or did I miss any news indicating he has moved?
Jose worked with Romeu at Chelsea I believe. Probably just doesn't rate him enough.
N'Zonzi is a great call though, I'd take him for the DM role in a heartbeat.

He didn't rate Mata and Lukaku highly too but I'm with you. N'zonzi is a decent option.
Griezmann plays through the middle.
Looks like those fishnets are holding his belly in.
This saddens me a lot. Had loads of hopes for him 
no abs.... do not want

If he performs to your hopes we may buy him back with the clause inserted.
Why does nobody want aubameyang I thought he's supposed to be the dogs bollox
For such a low price you'd want to have something in there just so they don't make a huge profit off him if he does get his shit together.
Maybe he just manages to become a Griezmann there.
Doubt it, I really never rated him.
With Aubameyang though, how can an established 30 goal a season striker, second behind Messi for goals last year, be not wanted for 70m eur?!
Rab C Nesbitt.
I think there were a couple of Dortmund posters saying he wants 500k a week. That more or less prices him out of most clubs.
This plus using "breaking" after clubs officially announce itI don't think you'll change his mind, mate.
I don't think anyone is going to change his mind. He's all over the place ripping Jose.
Massive wage demands + I think he relies overly on his speed and clubs might not want to risk him slowing down and losing his most dangerous attribute. He performs fantastically in a specific system at Dortmund but I have doubts if he could replicate it when asked to adapt to another. Still a fantastic goalscorer though
Glad we are not involved.
