    If Madrid aren't willing to pay up then he should stay. The players touted as being part of any exchanges would be useless.

    Atletico have told the Greaseman to get the fuck to pre-season training. They've "found out" that he's had a deal with Barcelona in place since March, having started negotiating with them in February and are less than pleased.

    Making it worse is now Barcelona think they've already got their man, they're trying to put off the buy out clause over a longer time. They've now told Barcelona they want it all upfront or to piss off.

    They've gone behind their backs. Presumably that's against the rules ala Liverpool and VVD but fuck all will happen because it's Barcelona.

    Only on loan to Sociedad, and he was apparently very very good last season.

    It's been well known Griezmann's release clause would drop to 120m from 200m on July the 1st for ages. Barca therefore knew they could trigger the release clause and wouldn't need to 'negotiate' with A. Madrid. Therefore they started looking for a deal with Griezmann so they could just trigger the release clause come the date and it all be done.

    As Spikey said, that's against the rules unless Atletico gives permission which they clearly didn't. The statement they released is amazing tbh.

    In other news, it's plane tracking time on reddit.

    EDIT: In other other news, Man Utd just appointment someone I used to play badminton with as their lead Sport Scientist.

    Just read the statement. For madrid to make the claim, the evidence must be serious. Why would Barca even need to contact greaseman anyway. He made it clear years ago he wanted to join. What is the penalty for Barca, market ban?

    I would have thought their whole (idiotic) mandatory release clause system largely mitigates against the dangers/moral outrage of tapping up.

    I don’t think it is stupid. It is extreme and it does not stop the transfer of players from spanish clubs.

    I think they're more pissed off that he went straight to negotiate with Barcelona after they went out of the Champions League.

    That Barcelona are now trying to whiff on the fee.

    Can they get away with saying no to Barcelona paying the release in installments or are they just going to end up bullied into it anyway? Normally when a player wants to go then they go.

    In instalments it's up to Atletico. If Barcelona stump up the fee up front, there's nothing they can do.

    It seems fees are not paid upfront anymore. Which is in the best interest for both clubs involved(so I've read)

    Release clauses have to be paid up front in order for them to actually be triggered. Clubs can choose to accept the same amount as a payment in instalments if they so wish (which sometimes they do to maintain good relations with another club). In this instance Atletico are well within their rights to tell Barca to pay it up front or fuck off.

    Atletico themselves paid above Joao Felix's release clause in order to avoid paying it as a lump sum.

    In the other news, we idiots on reddit tracked a private jet owned by the same company Utd used to fly in AWB. It said on their website it was going to Lisbon so obviously we thought it was for Bruno Fernandes. Then one of the ITKs came in and said Bruno is flying in today but from Porto not Lisbon. At that exact moment the flight turned towards and ended up landing in Porto. ITK info is it will fly him back this afternoon, landing in Manchester at 5:15pm.

    Its not like they need the coins either. They have made sales already totalling more than 150m and spent about the same.

    Yeah, tracking flights is nothing special these days. Randrew needs to up his game. He's annoying people because at the moment he's just another ITK geek, but with our help he could really push on and become something special.

    Common consensus seems to be that
    1) the Tierney deal will be done this week
    2) We’ve more than 45m to spend, but the club like that figure being banded around
    3) no one, fucking no one want to buy Kolasinac or Mustafi and we’re not willing to loan out the latter
    4) Zaha is desperate to join and we’ll stretch to bring him in
    5) Our new centre back will be Saliba from ASSE but he’ll be loaned back there for a year

    There’s some exciting stuff there - Zaha, Tierney are both addressing issues in the side, and Saliba seems a great prospect but going into the new year with no new CB’s actually available to play is not ideal, and I still think we need competition/something different for Xhaka’s place.

    Nelson is back and expected to feature, Smith-Rowe as well (wanted to loan to Leipzig again but they wanted a perm deal or with an option to buy which we're not interested in), unless you mean Matt Smith who's just been promoted to the U23s but is very much on my radar as he looks a real player? As for Marlo... Not a clue who you mean...?

    The major prospects outside the two mentioned already are Tyrone John-Jules (son of Red Dwarf star Danny aka Cat, no less), who's been excellent at all age grades and is good, all round striker with more chance of making the grade than the current 3rd choice, Nketiah from what I've seen. Saka and Amaechi are wingers that are a couple of years behind Nelson but look to be perhaps slightly more rounded players, albeit less physically ready, whilst Joe Willock looks the best of the three brothers (the others left for United and Benfica in recent years) and came on in the Europa League final. There's something Rambo-esque about him.

    Before Dan Ballard was announced on loan to Swindon, there was a rumour of an Arsenal player joining but no idea on position and we need forwards. Someone came up with possible names, one of which was young Tyrese, who of course stands out for his surname. He’s his nephew as it happens. Danny John-Jules’ kids have triple barrelled surnames, which I’ve not come across before. Nightmare getting those on a shirt!

    That's it, it's Tyreece, not Tyrone - knew I'd cocked that up. Didn't realise he was just his nephew - the internet is a wash with references the other way from a few years back when we first saw him breaking into the U18s as a 16 year old and the name forced a query... I see now a couple of years on that the top results are those more recently showing the relationship is indeed nephew/uncle...

    He'd do very well down the lower leagues I think - he's what might now be termed 'old fashioned no 9' that tends to do well at all levels.

    Ballard should do well, too.
