This is what being a football fan is all about. It's about enjoyment and getting excited like a little kid again and mostly about being optimistic.

Being linked with Karl Henry under TSM 1 or Chesterfields top striker under TSM 2, all the while being eye bleedingly bad was no fun. Being linked with somebody so fast he appears to bend space and time, coming from one of the greatest clubs on the planet, gives you that enjoyable fizz.

And a physique like Michaelangelo's David for further attraction.

Another article on Traore's strengths and weaknesses... nothing too revelatory, but confirms his promise and reinforces that he is not yet a finished product...

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2546620-why-barcelona-starlet-adama-traore-is-worth-the-premier-league-fuss

Having a player who can "lower his knees" is something to look forward to! Interesting assessment though, and it should be exciting all round, though clearly he has a lot to learn and we should judge him as a work in progress, and give him as much slack as, say, Grealish.
Inspector Gadget?

Parachute him in at the start of the ManU game. Literally. I want him to parachute onto the center circle at kick off then start playing.

The potential of grealish and Adama in the same team is frighteningly exciting. Gestede as a battering ram is also completely different.

Between the three of them they tick every box.

Over to sherwood to get the most of them..,

That worked so well the last time they tried something like that.

It's not an area we do well in really, parachuting people in.

Why isn't it confirmed yet?!  Why isn't there a picture of him stretching the shirt?!  Why, why WHY?!

Sherwood denied knowing who he was in the press conference. Whether he was just playing with the press I dunno, but he seemed to say it with a straight face.

His Tottenham youth side played against a Barcelona youth side that he was a part of so he obviously knows who he is. I think he tore his Spurs side open a few times and he's supposedly tried to bring him to Spurs when he was manager so he rates him very highly.
