I watched him for the first time in a while when they lost to Arsenal the other week. He came on, gave the crowd a bit of a lift, went on one of those runs where he forgets he's got 10 team mates, gave the ball away and then promptly disappeared for the rest of the game.

Put him in the same category as Jordan Ayew.
Promised much and delivered fuck all.
Both guys will make a phenomenal living out of a game they rarely set alight
Ay, Ayew has done zip all for Swansea; anonymous on the games I've heard / watched.

He's 21 and has started 15 games and has been one of their better players in most of those games according to their forums (I had a quick look at a few of them).  He's a work in progress but if someone can get his delivery and/or finishing right his pace, power and dribbling are exceptional.  I watched a bit of their game against Swansea a few weeks back and he was a far better player than the one we saw cameos of last season so he is learning.
Yes just like Stephen Ireland.

If someone could transplant a brain, and skill, and yadda yadda etc. He's shit. Middlesbrough are shit too. He gives them a lift because he injects pace into their side, but all that means is he gives the ball away faster than their slow players.

A beautifully put, magnificently dismissive post!

Excellent stuff (and I agree).

Excellent stuff.  Even his YouTube video showed what a one trick pony he is.  That trick was stand still, kick it ten feet past his man, then sprint like Usain Bolt in a straight line with the ball.  It's OK looking good doing it against Spanish 16 year olds half his size, but the Premier League is a bit different.

I saw him set-up a goal (for another of our exes,Routledge, I think), recently with a great shimmy that outwitted the defender but that aside, I think he's flattered to deceive. Incredibly frustrating footballer to watch given his ability.

Another thing with Traore is that it's not like he's been plucked from Hackney Marshes and needs polishing, he's literally had the best coaching in the world since he was young, and he still hasn't seemingly grasped the fundamentals of the game.
