Antoine Griezmann

[Sovieticus 743]

Doesn't make sense.

We have loads of AM. Don't need more!

It's never enough of AM's!

[Mustafa 885]

Exciting stuff.

Also, Griezmann is a friend of Pogba's so....... :eyebrows: :eyebrows:

[LAB 1,030]

Griezmann is an intelligent runner, bit like Schurrle.

Taking these rumours with a pinch of salt though. Can't believe people are getting this excited when there's nothing concrete out there, but must say, a three of Schurrle - Hazard - Griezmann is quite impressive.

Yeah, and add your avatar behind them ->

[Chelsea? 892]

looks good, but he's gonna be overworked defenisively here; turning him into another Salah, Oscar, Willian, Shurrler etc.

[Madmax 9,219]

Only reason I even slightly take this rumor seriously is because of that friendly that we added so suddenly. That does seem fishy.

I'd attach some weight to that theory if it was an away friendly in their stadium where we don't take a participating fee and let them keep all the match revenue in return for knocking a few million off the transfer fee. Not sure how them playing here connects with Griezmann.

Well, he seems different, in youtube at least. Less magical than the others, but more faster and more scorer.

Which is where Chelsea come in, as one of the usual suspects. Need to link a player for a transfer rumor? Call Chelsea!

[Pizy 18,852]

Yep. Total bullshit.

[sdrcfc 461]

He's not featured in their kit launch, and he's arguably their most important player.

Coming to Stamford Bridge to play in a pre-season friendly.

I have hope.

That site's authors can be quite arsey though. Like "know it all's" and if you question them in the comments they dont like it

[BlueLion. 21,491]

My sources say this move is extremely close.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

People are thinking, that because we arranged this friendly, it's part of an agreement to sign their best player?

While we're at it, can we schedule a friendly with Zenit so we can take Witsel off their hands? Maybe even Real Madrid, that Bale kid isn't bad.

Arranging a friendly with a small team as part of a deal for a big club to sign one of their players is not unheard of and happens quite a lot actually so I can see why some people have begun speculating. I also found it odd for the club to announce a game at Stamford Bridge out of the blue because Chelsea rarely play these pre-season games at the Bridge nowadays. Maybe if it was a testimonial to Lampard or something like that it would make more sense but now it just looks out of place with all the other pre-season games in the last five years or so being played away from home. But, with Griezmann being a player we most certainly have no use for I'm pretty sure there's nothing more to this story than just another friendly match, unless it's something like us sending one of our fringe players on loan to El Real.

I just think it's a coincidence, I really do, pal. For me, it's like putting 2 and 2 together and getting 43.

wouldnt a match at SB get them more money? , more fans , more expensive tickets ect.

(not saying I believe it)
