Adama Traoré - GONE
« on: July 21, 2016, 06:21:08 PM »
What is happening with this guy?

We have seen some injury prone players over the years but he now appears to be one of the worst

I think time to try and move him on especially if what we hear salary wise is right

I'd keep him. In the glimpses I've seen he's raw but very talented. We need to keep any talent we have in the squad.

My point is for the number of minutes he played is he worth the cost?
He may be a talent but if he come be injured over the close season where does that leave us? I thought he was close to playing before the end of last season ....

We all got very excited  by that you tube footage of him. We hoped for a big talent to improve the team

He has been somewhat of a disappointment in reality.

Looks like he has the talent but not the fitness. If fit he would be worth keeping as we don't have so much width in the squad, just hope he doesn't turn out to be another Nii Lamptey.

Keep keep keep and keep.

He is injured a lot but was fit for long spells under Garde and Black and hardly had a kick.

I think he'll be fantastic in the championship.

Yep his pace will destroy defences. Ayew, Grealish and somebody mobile as a focal point for that funky bunch will see us cause some havoc.

I like what I've seen. If we can keep him fit he could rip the piss out of the Second Division.

That's the thing I noticed last season, just how slow the defences are.

He has been somewhat of a disappointment in reality.

No idea how you can really say that given his complete lack of chances.

He's still caused a little havoc in cameos he's played, forced the own goal at Palace and the mazy run and cross for the Gil goal up at Sunderland.

He  needs a run of 10 starts and then we can properly assess his strengths and weaknesses.

I'd say it's frustrating that we haven't seen more of him rather than being disappointed by what we have seen. If we could get 30 appearances out of him this season he'd destroy that league. The big question is if he is up to that fitness wise.

There was a lack of pace throughout the team.

Amavi has a bit and Traore has plenty and I hope he gets to show the obvious raw talent that he has.

Both Gil and Sinclair are a yard of pace short of being dangerous players.

This guy has missed the whole of preseason training. I doubt he'll be seen wearing a first team shirt any time soon. I really want him to succeed but he needs to toughen up.

Agree but I think it's worth taking the chance on that potential for that fitness risk.
