Adama Traoré - GONE

[cdbearsfan]

He's on £100,000 a game, so his total wages so far are about a fiver.

The guy seems to have been short of match fitness since 1997.

[Toronto Villa]

Any up to date information his wages?

Yep I think if he steps on to a pitch in pre season he gets paid £80k a week. If he plays a minute of a proper game it goes up to £130k a week.

[PeterWithesShin]

If he plays a full game it's in his contract that he's paid more than Messi. Which is the real reason why he never plays a full game.

[adrenachrome]

Whatever happens, and nothing would surprise me, his like will not be there again.

[ozzjim]

He has apparently not played due to a niggling injury keeping him out of pre season so far. I can't help think that it is kind of a good thing for us that he is not sparkling in pre season, because if we can actually persevere and get him fit, he will cause utter mayhem in the championship.

[mr underhill]

but of course the flaw in your argument is that he never plays so he can't cause mayhem - other than financially

Correct. Doesn't matter how good he is (or might be) if he is injury prone on a regular basis it might be an idea to loan him out (when fit) to a middling Spanish club and keep an eye on his progress.

[old man villa fan]

I don't get this loaning players out. We are at a level in the Championship where players are either good enough for the squad or we should get rid of them, not wait and see. Loans with an option to buy are ok, as is loaning out U21 players.  We have too many players that we have loaned out in the past that have ended up back with us and probably paid some of their wages.

maybe we wont see him again

You say this as if we are still a premier league team. We are not in a position to loan out players in order to monitor development (especially half decent ones). It's the reverse situation now.

[mr underhill]

he's been with us a year though, hardly kicked a ball and if we are totally objective about it, no-one knows if he's half decent or not ; we simply haven't seen enough of him to make an informed decision.

[darren woolley]

I would like to keep him if we can gat him fit and stays fit he would be a top player in the Championship.

[PaulTheVillan]

Play him up front. He's got pace and would probably be better suited to a role without defensive responsibilities

[Leicester_Villian]

My point is tho will he ever be fit?
He has pace and talent (we think) but seems to be always injured ....can we now carry injured players?
