Talking about Antoine Griezmann's next move just three games in the current season, at a stage when most new players are still bedding in to their new surroundings and others are yet to start an actual game is mildly ridiculous.
It is akin to going to Ikea, enduring the mind-numbing maze of conscriptive arrows, going home with a flatpack table that takes an age to construct with fiddly Allen keys and shite instructions, only to use the completed table to plan your next visit to Ikea.
Perhaps a more pertinent analogy is owning the incredible technology that is an iPhone, loading it up with a plethora of useful and not so useful applications, and being briefly satisfied... until a new one comes out and Apple convince you that you need that now.
It's all bollocks isn't it; we're wishing our lives away by looking towards a slowly disappearing horizon. That thing that John Lennon said about life happening whilst you're making other plans was never more relevant. We'll die planning.
Anyway, the Telegraph report that both Chelsea and United are after Griezmann. His current buyout fee is around £84m, and his departure from Atletico Madrid could be expedited by talk that Diego Simeone also seeks a fresh challenge next season.
But of course, as we've so tragically established, next season never comes.
