I know that this drama looks a bit over the top, but we don't even know if this is true or not - the easiest clickbait right now is that Griezmann is a drama-queen as both Barcafans and Atleticofans (and United-fans who also wants closure) will agree without thinking about it.
Look at every single truly world-class signing in history and find one that went smooth and without drama? Every single world-record transfer in history has been covered in soap-opera-like drama, even before twitter/internet etc.
In Real they forgive Ronaldo for claiming attention after a bad CL-final in any way he could, but we are ready to turn down a world-class player because he is announcing it in a stupid way? That is laughable to me. Who really thinks about the clubs future, if we are so proud we can't accept players because of their SOME-strategy..
I hope he doesn't go full LeBron, but the important thing to me is that we don't need to watch Suarez run offside 50 times a game the next 3 years.
And tbh, if some twitter-stuff pisses Atletico-fans off, then how about being grateful stayed with them in their darkest hour? They had a transfer-ban, he wanted to go to United, but he turned it down, extended and stayed loyal to help the club. Now, the last few games for Atletico the fans whistles him and think he is a traitor for not staying for life..
To be honest this looks worse on ATM and their fans that it does on us. What a clown and what a circus
This looks like the worst possible way to tell someone that you're staying. You're not even pleasing your own fans this way..
hes getting alot of heat from Atleti fans already

Deservedly so.
To me Griezmann deciding to stay is OK athletically as I think he is a nice-to-have but not a must-have (we will have to start looking for a new forward/striker/scorer in the next couple of years though) and his arrival might impede on the playing time and development of Dembele.
What bothers me a bit is the message like this one (and Neymar’s departure last summer and several other players who rejected us) sends out, that we are not as appealing as we think we are, with players leaving us and snubbing us. Hurts the image of the club in my opinion.
But overall I am glad it is over. Move on.
nah this is a different situation. Griezmann did the same thing to United, imo he doesn't have the balls to leave his comfort zone. Neymar is a typical greedy new-breed of footballers, he chose the money and tbh it wasn't the suprising he left, many said he wouldn't retire here.
how the board act now is crucial though, i think we should go with Thiago, Martial, De Ligt. get a deal on Frankie for next season.
