Griezmann is a good player but i am not sure there is a ready made position for him in this team. I am not saying we should not go for him but we should desist from just trying to buy every star footballer in the market without knowing how they will fit into the team.
We need to build the best team not just buy the best players out there.
Apart from Zlatan's no 9 position there is no obvious place for Griezmann in Mourinho's 4-3-3 especially with the way JM wants his wide men to track back.


What of if they play together and end up forming a solid partnership! It's worth a shot....and it could be another version of the rudd boy and rooney partnership that was so productive in the past! Fashi griezmann size....they guy knows how to get goals

That would entail a change of formation. I am not against buying Griezmann but I hope it the manager already knows how he wants to use him rather than a case of just going out to buy the most expensive player possible without knowing how to use him. That is what makes you lose 6, 8 points early in the season and leads to playing catch up all season.
There are also a few other points.
1) Martial should be allowed to develop in that LWF as our no 1 option.
2) Rooney should be allowed to leave at the end of the season. If Mikki and Rashford share RWF going forward I will prefer us going for Aubameyang rather than Griezmann BUT if JM has confidence in Rasford as a CF then we might go for Griezmann who is more versatile. The deciding factor would be JM's plans for Mata and Rashford next season.
3) We should not rely on Zlatan for next season , when his decline comes it will be sudden. If he does well let it be a bonus.

Which fact?
The fact that Costa is on his way to China
Or the fact that Chelsea FC sent you a video of Conte shouting at Costa
Which one again? The call Terry made to you seeking for your approval on his loan request

That is a major problem if we try to switch to a 4-2-3-1, Pogba has refused to adjust his game accordingly when played in a deeper position......still tries flicks and slows play down no matter where he is on the field.
I believe we have to stick with him and play him in his best position and that means continuing with a 4-3-3 formation for the coming seasons. And that requires us not to shoot ourselves in the foot by adding other big money players that will/might struggle in a 4-3-3.

Griezmann is the kinda player that thrives mainly on space (to utilize his technique) & supply - starve him and he becomes uber useless...

We need players who wouldn't be easily rendered anonymous in tight matches......especially when they would cost a lot of money.

I honestly prefer Aubameyang who is a ready made and better no 9 than Griezmann.

The first thing is for JM to realize that we have to play 4-3-3 to bring out the best in Pogba.
Next thing is to recognize Mikki and Martial as the safest bets to start at RWF and LWF respectively.

If he accepts both i.e 4-3-3 and Mikki+Martial being first choice then the next step is to go for a no9 that will play the next 3 or 4 years at the highest level and Auba is the best bet IMO.
After that there are questions about the 2 partners for Pogba going forward. 1) Who replaces Carrick long term 2) Is Herrera good enough to be the 3rd leg of the midfield tripod. This will determine who he gets in that section.
I don't think we NEED any reinforcement in defense. At LB options are Shaw, Rojo, Blind and CBJ who will back from loan. At RB AV, TFM, Jones etc and we have 4 potential CBs already.

Lol i can't even remember who said it, i just know i read it on this thread. ESPN is peddling this same stuff now that signing Griezmann would be another statement of intent by United. The only statement i am interested in is signing players that will make the team the best possible and winning titles not just outbidding superpower clubs for players that won't improve the team.
Yeah it is likely that Auba is going to Real but the latest news is that it isn't a done deal yet.

cannot be cheaper when a bidding war is on the horizon, especially when the man has Real Madrid on his lips always like a chorus then chances are slim.

Jose Mourinho is not known to waste effort chasing uninterested target, so Antoine Greizmann's speeches make it imminent.

Lol ok. But such statements don't win titles though, we need to start buying with the aim of building a title winning TEAM not just buying individual stars to make statements. We are likely to get Griezmann rather than Auba though going by what is being reported, hope it ends well.
Almost all the guys i really wanted us to buy in the last few years have gone to other teams e.g Bale, Modric, Reus, Fabregas,Thiago so chances are we won't get Auba cheesy

Memphis can/should definitely do better in subsequent games. Hopefully nobody will be here comparing him to Hazard in a few years from now but to better players.
Fellaini is still our wildcard.

No obvious route. His preferred position seems to be on the left and he is not better than Martial who is the same age. There will be a space for a squad player and Lingard, Adnan and him can fight for that.
