Poor Cuadrado. Hope he could have much better performance next season.

Agree if Godin available though. If not, Howedes will be an alternative and also 'cheaper' option. Howedes is not that 'bad', despite playing in shit team like Schalke. He was also one of three German players who played every minute of all seven World Cup games, alongside Neuer and Lahm.

That sounds familiar case to me. It's back to the player himself to choose, whether he want to stay at 'smaller' club to be a starter or ready for a challenge at 'bigger' club. Willian for example, as the one who take that challenge and could 'survive' in here. Yes there are others who have 'failed' like Salah for example, or the player who choose to stay at his club and afraid to take that challenge, in other words 'playing safe'. If Griezmann believe in his own ability he could be better than Willian or Oscar or Remy (why I picked three names because he is versatile player therefore his chance to get minutes will be bigger), he might would want to join us for a chance of 'better' life. Top flight football at elite club, play with among the best players in the world, more competitive league, better chance of silverware, Jose Mourinho, more money, guaranteed called up for France, etc, would be the prizes if he could 'survive' here. It's all worth it imo.

It's quite funny to see all this kind of reaction, while 10 years ago we will be excited like a little girl got a new doll. How the time has changed.

The first class train will not passing by your station twice. Better go in when you have a chance.

Welcome to Marseille :blue scalf:

Here we go

Griezmann money would be enough, no? Also Griezmann himself rumoured interested for the move.

Assuming that quote is true, no chance he will be leaving this summer, with Atletico and Simeone also wouldn't want to sell either. Koke seems not that type of player who could turn his head around easily by money. Case closed imo. Activating release clause not working either, if the player himself want to stay.

Told you guys

I like last season Atletico, and I think that the best team they have for years. Winning La Liga was a huge achievement. But I don't think they could repeat that again with Barca and Real Madrid domination and continuous spending. Also in CL. Copa del Rey might their only best chance for silverware in every season since now. Griezmann should have realized this, if he is clever enough, he wouldn't pass the chance we offered. Joining Chelsea much more promising for silverware, including CL. And more money of course.

The bad thing about signing player with a release clause, is that it will depend on what the player himself want. If he want to force the move, he just need to refuse any offered contract his club given. Basically the club are fully realized it when they sign that player with particular release clause, they couldn't do anything if any other club meet the sum anytime. In other words, they are already too late.

Fabregas might be better suit as no 10 when away or against big teams, because basically we're playing more like in 433 formation. But he cannot play all the match in that position, because we need him in pivot also. Oscar could still useful as no 10 at home, especially against mid and small teams. Also Jose could use him as a sub for Fabregas or any MC so that Fabregas could be back at pivot when away. In other words Jose still need Oscar. Oscar will be sold by the time he is no longer useful against every teams.

All this Thiago discussion reminds me of Nike

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3081271/Chelsea-face-Real-Madrid-Champions-League-group-stage-Juventus-semi-final-win-Manchester-United-Arsenal-Manchester-City-benefit.html We could draw with Real Madrid next season at group stage. So be it, can't wait.

Hmm, probably. But do they need another winger though? Don't think Di Maria want to go to French league also. I'm still thinking Mata who will be sold this summer.

My die hard MU fan friend told me Falcao loan will be extended for 6 months. About RVP, couldn't find any rumour he will leave soon. It is possible both will stay, at least until January next year.

His rumour seems dead now. If not it never 'alive' to begin with.

We're doomed. Our Ex's curse will strike back.

He will soon leave Liverpool for sure, even he know there is no prospect staying with that mid table club.

Apparently has a £13m release clause. Would be a good backup for 3 position at once. Should we go for him?

With Griezmann in our team. My concern every time Costa absent will be vanished.

MU vs Arsenal which one do you want to win? I prefer a draw, lol

Well, with 2MFRL (Matic, Mikel, Fabregas, Ramires, Loftus-Cheek) still around we don't need him. Good player though.

If that is the case, clubs who want to buy him will be limited though. Barca and Bayern doesn't need him. If Bayern need winger they will go all out for Reus imo. I'm not sure about PSG, as if they are interested since the beginning, they should have try last season.
