We nearly signed Antoine Griezmann - him who missed a penalty for our old adversary Atletico Madrid in normal time last night, although he was successful with his effort in the shoot out. And, who has 22 goals for them. please log in to view this image Yup, back in the day Rene Mulenstein tried to sign him. Griezmann was playing for Real Sociedad at the time and for whatever reason it didn't come off. Instead we spent the £12m being offered on Kostas Mitroglou. That was in the January 2014 and within a couple of weeks Rene was sacked. Can't help but wondering if the two events weren't linked.
