Hi ed001

I remember us being constantly linked with Antoinne Griezmann during 2010-2012, did we have genuine interest?

Also what are your thoughts of him as a player?

{Ed001's Note - we have had interest in him yes. He is a great player but an ego that puts Zlatan to shame and never shuts up in the media.}

His staying at Madrid promo was the most awful thing any footballer has ever done. IMO.

Benny, choosing to remain a big fish in a small pond is better than becoming a smaller fish in a bigger pond, and many of these guys are smart enough to know it.

I don’t mean it like that aray mate. I just mean in pure self absorption.

There is no doubting Griezmann's quality. He would be a big fish in any pond in my opinion.

Thanks for the response Ed001. I was actually desperate for us to move for him in 2014 after we sold Suarez Athletico picked him up for a bargain.

Benny I will never get over that promo. A whole 30 minute documentary announcing your decision to stay and naming it 'La Decision'

He constantly just kept building up tension over the course of a few months, it was as though he was the orchestrator of a proverbial ‘drum roll’ and was lapping it up. I remember being so shocked when he announced that, i thought there was no possible way anybody would draw out an announcement like that unless it was something they were going to find very difficult to do. How wrong i was.

YIKES, Ed! An ego that puts Zlatan's to shame? I never thought I would see the day when I would ever see that.

He’s a talented footballer but a Poundland version of David Beckham wanting the fame, wouldn’t surprise me if he starting dating ginger spice.

That'd be quite a step down for her Mikey.

What’s with that stupid telephone celebration anyway?

Wouldn’t want him anywhere near this squad thanks, we don’t need egos like that.

{Ed0333's Note - would love him celebrating in any fashion in front of the Kop mate.

Haha SGRed it is taken from the music video of Drake's song 'Hotline Bling. ' It is a song he likes so he made a celebration out of it.
