LOL Allegedly we are offering 28m€ for Griezman.

I heard that, if true there's no point at all. It's a waste of time that will get rejected in the blink of an eye. I suppose it tells athletico that our interest is genuine but that's about all

Come on, it's a Mirror Exclusive - treat the story as it deserves to be treated.

It sounds completely ridiculous. Griezman has 80m€ release clause.
18 Aug 2015 14:57:03
I don't see why we would bid for him now when he's release clause has just been raised. makes no sense

The release clause is nearly always a point of compromise. Griezmann's previous clause was not good for AM and the player has said there were lots of discussions between him and his agent but nothing put to him so there was interest and some believed to be from Chelsea. AM increased it to £58m and almost certainly know there will never get that but they have a strong position of compromise. Chelsea have a good relationship with AM and suppose they up their offer to £30m cash (which they need) plus say Cuadrado, suddenly there may be interest which would not have been there with his previous release clause. It's a game of two halves and we may be able to secure him, maybe not.

Frensham than he would really cost 42+33=75m€
18 Aug 2015 18:38:35
Antibot: I threw that in as an example and to indicate we could get rid of Cuadrado but I hope you understood the principal. If it is true about the £21m versus the release of £58m then you understand 'wheeler dealing' kicks until there is either no more give and no thank you or we have a deal he says looking up to the heavens!

Its not going to happen, we may get stones at 36m but forget anyone else, maybe a youth player to loan out but apart from stones. were done

Bacon - Obviously you haven't seen reports on Roman pumping in the cash for transfers mate?
