Antoine Griezmann

It wouldn't surprise me if he was the famous "mystery man" and we were genuinely interested. Along with being top class, he's one of the few strikers who could play in Firmino's role and thrive.

 

That said, there's zero chance he'd come here. He's said in many interviews that England doesn't particularly interest him and Atletico to Liverpool is a weird step to take right now if you're a top player. I think he'd hold out for Barca.

The story that we are in talks with an unidentified player didn't originate from any ITK. It came from Jason Burt in the Telegraph.

 

The ITK's picked up on it and began to speculate. I think Sky Sport suggested Griezmann as a way of getting punters to put money on Sky Bet.

Is Burt an over-glorified ITK or a respected journalist?

Would he get a game at Barca? Is he any better than the two they have upfront? Agree that he wouldn’t come to us, I think he’ll go to United myself.

He's a journaliast. It was also confirmed by Ralph Honigstein who is a German journalist. How respected they are I suppose depends on who you ask.

 

All he intimated is that we made an approach for a player not on anyone's radar, that he club had asked them to keep it under wraps, and that it was a January transfer but there was no guarantee it would come off. Then the ITK's went to work.

In what way is that Griezmann? He's been linked to a number of clubs.
