Sensible Soccer! How could I forget that from the list! World of Sensible Soccer with its leagues was superb!

MicroProse soccer anybody?

MicroProse!  They were the ones that made those fantastic flight simulators, right?  F19 Stealth, F15 Strike Eagle ...

Still widely reported as being set to join Stoke. ITK only counts if the player signs. It's in the rules!

If Villa do sign this kid from Barcelona B, lets home that the fans give him time to settle in.

I'd hate to see people barrack Adama

bad, very bad. I like it.

[PaulWinch again]

It's encouraging that we're looking at this type of player. We do need a winger type.

Where is it being reported?  Apart from Twitter.  I can only find the same stories from yesterday.

^^^^ Good. Frankly.

Talking of rubbish left backs, where is Joe Bennett? Is he actually training with the squad?

Not listed in the squad on the OS and not featured in pre season matches

Lazy journo"s put spin on the story

from football 365.com.  "Despite reports to the contrary, Liverpool are not interested in signing Barcelona winger Adama Traore.
Reports in Spain suggested that 19-year-old Traore would soon be flying into England for a medical at Liverpool.
However, the Liverpool Echo claims that such reports are wide of the mark. Instead, Brendan Rodgers is not interested in signing Traore, presumably believing he has enough options already in that area.
Traore could well still be coming to the Premier League, however. The Daily Mail claims that Aston Villa have entered into the race, because Tim Sherwood suddenly wants every player he can get his hands on. Stoke and Everton are also interested.
Traore has represented Spain at U16, U17 and U19 levels, making his Barcelona debut aged just 17 in 2013.

Crap lazy writing.

I thought that was a pisstake...but its actually on their website!

I tell no lies!

This would be the same Tim Sherwood who is manager of a team that has nearly been relegated every year for five years and has lost/got rid of a whole team full of players. How strange that he thought he need to strengthen the squad significantly.

The squad listing on the site is unreliable, probably not been updated since his loan move. He's not played because he's been injured. From comments, it seems he's the alternative left back.

Traore apparently had dinner with Sparky last night. is there anywhere in Stoke that you can get dinner? Anyway, a lot of chatter about Pione Sisto as being a similar, but even better player. His show reel is certainly impressive.

"Chatter" sounds very GCHQ. 

Anyway is the chatter just about him being a good player or us being interested?
