Antoine Griezmann

[Blue Colored Sky 1,807]

That ship has sailed.

Everyone knew that he's going to leave Sociedad in the summer of 2014. But Chelsea, instead of waiting that 4 months, bought Salah. End of story.

I really had hopes that arranged game against Sociedad in the Summer, completely out-of-nothing, meant that the clubs agreed something as well. Sadly, not.

But Griezmann isn't RW. He's second striker through and through.

Move on.

Hazard LW will always beat anyone to that spot.

So no point getting a WC LW for that spot and have him on the bench while Hazard is out there.

Our RW is not so great, but as you said Willian will stay here and we just got Cuadrado. So 2 RW is good enough. Not to mention that Ramires can fill in that spot of winger when we play more conservative.

Yup, but as I said in Hazard thread some time ago, we have been lucky with Hazard could stay fit along this season. Yes, not a WC LW what we need, but still I think we need another one. Prefer who could play as LW and RW also, so that he could be a useful backup for Hazard and at the same time competing with Willian. If Cuadrado not getting any better, we basically only have Hazard and Willian to count on until January, which is not good.

If we continue trying to sign players from Atletico de Madrid... maybe they will try to kill US

No chance of Griezmann leaving Atletico Madrid, not this summer anyway. Gotta look elsewhere.

It was his 21st goal for Atletico. Impressive first season. Too bad Oblak, Cerci and Jimenez were such a flop. Torres and Cani are weak too. Atletico is a bit weaker now.

How is Oblak flop?

[RoyalBlues 4,050]

The good thing is that he is still 24 years old and he has play in Spain for a long time now. Maybe someday he will get bored somehow and want a new challenge in another league.

How is Oblak flop?

He was bought for 16 million, he was obviously meant to be the nr1. They expected him to replace Courtois just like the Belgian replaced De Gea. Of coure Oblak is very young and has many years to prove his class this season is a disappointment for him and for Atletico.

anyone see his amazing bicycle goals last night? he's really great finisher,,18 goals & 3 asisst from 31 match. a guarantee of bunch of goals in any team...

would love to see him or Reus in RW next season....

[Beepu 1,714]

Should've gotten him last summer, how much would he cost now? Would he even want to come after only a season in Atletico??

Signing him for the RW would be all fun and fine but it's not like he's getting any of his goals this season from that position. In his mind and i'm sure many minds, he's a striker now. That's where he seems to flourish. And he's too good to be a back up one at that.

Which will be perfect for us. Could be our 3rd striker option, but also can play as a RW most of the time. Kind of Schurrle last season.
