Good morning everyone. If it's Monday, it must be Griezmann again.
Apparently he is upset that he turned down the offer of a transfer to OT based on promises made about the AM squad, one of which was to sign Diego Costa, which hasn't yet materialised.
The rumours that AM now plan to sell Oblak have led him to question whether he made the right decision to turn us down, and whether he should stay with Atletico or put himself on the market.
Roll on Tuesday and the next round of content scraping by the MSM.
Gaitan anyone?

{Ed001's Note - it is amazing how the media can make up stories like that, knowing full well that everyone knows that Griezmann turned down United only after AM got a transfer ban! It was because they couldn't sign Costa that he agreed to stay.}

I agree Ed. Didn't he come out and say something along the lines of 'it would poor of me to leave the Atletico during their time of need'? The problem is some fans just cannot move on until the next mass media story starts to stick.

For what it's worth I think Greizmann is a top player but he seems full of himself and really laps up his air time in front of the camera. I could see someone like him butting heads with Jose if something didn't go his way whereas someone like Matic for example would take a disagreement on the chin and get on with his job.

Could we possibly be getting him in Jan when Costa can go to AM?

{Ed002's Note - Let's assume not.}

Ed is there any plans to move the transfer window so it closes before the season begins?

{Ed002's Note - No. Then you could find players being sold with no chance to replace them.}
