Want an opinion on Antoine Griezmann.

How good of a prospect is he? How much chance does he have of playing I'nal Football at a club likeR.Sociedad? If he doesn't, which Bigger club would he succeed at? I know he plays mostly LW but he seems to be versatile upfront, even playing CF at times. Liverpool were interested in him during the summer , so were Barca apparently,as well as Bilbao. Your thoughts?

Hello Larisano,
How rude of me not to congratulate you for your wedding!! Hope it went fantastic and that you have a great relationship with your wife!! Post a picture man! Very Happy

On Antoine Griezman, he is a good player, but I don't see him becoming a world class talent.

He's already been called up for Les Bleus but I believe got into some trouble for some off the pitch activities...I think he's a delightfully talented winger and absolutely has a shot with the NT

I can't believe he's just 21 years old, feels like I've been watching him for years...Intelligent, terrific skills on the ball - elegant really...Seems suited to a counter attacking team but has few peers at Sociedad to achiever bigger success there...He'll have to move on, IMO

Yeah same here, good player but maybe not a starter for an elite team.

This. He has a great touch, and most of his passes are smooth as hell

I also agree that he'd be able to perform best in a counter attacking team. He's got the speed and makes smart and fast decisions.

I could see him going to a club like Atletico Madrid

Atleti is a good shout would be a good replacement for Adrian or Arda if either was sold.

I hope Atlético can keep their team together because they are the only team that, since Simeone took charge, have been able to compete at high levels. I'd say a pay up or shut up policy like what Athletic did with Bayern regarding Javi would be good for Atlético to fend off those rich Arabs/Russians.

On Grizzly Bear, he's very technical and quick and as some mentioned would do wonders for a counter attacking team.
