I must say, I'm a little gutted at the AG news today; he was a player I felt could be a difference maker for us in the games we've been drawing and believe he's better than anyone else we have in that position currently. That's just my personal opinion.

We've been told repeatedly by the media that we're not afraid to spend big this summer (excess of £200m being quoted) so my question is this; with AG no longer being a priority (key word), would we still look to sign him this window should we deem it feasible and good business (i. e. let some players go as he is of higher quality than those we currently have in that position) and if not and he stays at AM for one more season, do the Eds expect us to be favourites for for his signature next summer?

Apologies, I know this Greizmann stuff is getting a little tiresome already, was just curious and hoping someone could clarify our stance on AG in the long term, and if he remains a priority target for that position moving forward.

Thanks in advance!

{Ed004's Note - A lot can happen in a year so it's impossible to say if we will be still interested in Griezmann next season. It is a real shame as he was probably the player I wanted most this summer}

We all know it can go either way but let our judgement cloud by reports which keep writing as if it was a done deal. I suggest we should just move forward and talk about the potential players but not set expectations lest we be constantly disappointed. Let the management do their job and trust Jose already knows who he wants and the options if it doesn't happen.
Just look forward to surprises and support fully when those who are signed come on board. Already feel so bored and can't wait for the next season to start. 😂😂.

Same here Ed. I'm hoping we will get our business done early, buy the out and out striker Jose is looking for amongst other positions that need strengthening, then realise how much of an asset AG will be and just pay the €100m. I don't see that happening though. My biggest fear is if he goes to another PL team next season, we'd really regret it I feel. I agree 666, need to just have faith and look forward! Roll on August.

Ed002 said many times that City were interested in AG and backed off and he said United will also back off once they know the reason. So AG is no more and we move on, Emile Heskey anyone?
