Adama Traore - CONFIRMED

[paul_e]

That reports sounds fairly definitive, it's not often you see a story like that and it turns out to be bullshit, this is a fantastic signing if it does go through, he looks like a superb player.

Imagine the goals Gestede would score with a classy winger whipping in crosses.
Please make it happen!

He is going to wear the number 27

Twitter timeline just served me up an unflattering picture of Traore.

This would be utterly brilliant if it happens.

Just had a look at the Birmingham Mail site, are they employing children during the summer holidays to write the content on the Villa transfer rumours page?

According to The Daily Express site, Traore's "snubbed" Liverpool & Stoke to join us.

You can't beat a bit of snubbing.

Toddlers I believe.

Anyway, if this happens it would be the most exciting signing since Dean Saunders for me. Although, I am only basing that on what I've seen on YouTube.

Catalan newspaper 'Sport' saying that Adama Taore "could fly to England in a matter of hours" to sign for the Villa. They report that the fee is Approx 12 mil euros, with no buy back clause. Good, if true, but the operative word here is "might "...........Godzilla!

I will cry if true. He looks a fucking amazing player.

Please be true.

AS reporting it...

Which translates as

Adama Traoré, who plays for Barcelona B, will play next season in the Premier League. Despite the interest from Liverpool and Stoke City, the squad has finally opted for Aston Villa. Adama, 19, signed for three seasons with another option.

The Spanish player of Malian descent is one of the pearls of the current blaugrana quarry. However, unlike Munir or Sandro, the end has not been called to make the preseason with the first team, why the player has decided to look for another club site in minutes you can enjoy the highest level.

Adama pass medical examination this Tuesday to stamp his contract with the villains. Villa Park will be challenged to demonstrate what their true level.

I don't want to be a downer but I'm calling foul, on the basis that if he came from a quarry he would be a diamond or other precious stone rather than a pearl.

Villa Park will be challenged to demonstrate what their true level.

I think I speak on behalf of all of us when I say one thing we're sick of is us demonstrating our true level at Villa Park the last few seasons.

Howard Hodgson has tweeted the fee as £4.2m done deal

[mr underhill]

Howard Hodgson has tweeted the fee as £4.2m done deal

Surely that's just the up front bit and there will be add ons. The kid looks insanely good.

Just stumbled across this:

Which contains the funniest line of text I've ever read:

He'll have great role models to look up to at Villa Park in Charles N'Zogbia, Scott Sinclair and Jack Grealish.

I think that is his release clause
