Adama Traore - CONFIRMED

[mr underhill]

potentially our best signing since Benteke; the new Beast. Let's hope he's not out too long

[Phil from the upper holte]

Sherwood said it doesn't look good

[Dr Butler]

It reminded me of Escape To Victory when the German team kept hacking at Pele but just couldn't stop him.

we said this on Sat at Palace...

He's mental, every time he gets the ball he tries to go past all of the opposition players and score.

Very exciting to watch though.

I knew he was properly injured, as when he got the ball he actually passed....

I don't think we can trust anything he says about this player.

TS said this on the OS:

The negative is that Adama got injured.

The only way to stop him at the minute is to kick him. He's a marked man.

He will have to get used to it.

It doesn't looked good to be honest. He took a heavy knock - I thought it was a bad tackle. It was his ankle.

He's a real talent.

It's too soon to tell how serious but he's packed in ice and hobbling around.

That's bloody annoying news, I hope it isn't serious.

Must be frustating for him having only just signed and making such a good start too.  But fingers crossed its not too bad, and that he has a big part to play in our season.

You can just see his Barca up bringing in his technique, the way he walks and then sprints too beat his defender is the exact same technique as Messi, I'm not saying he's anywhere near as good before somebody jumps on that, were going to have some fun with this guy.

The passing but is missing though.  Barca often pass for the sake of it whereas Adama's first instinct is to get his head down and dribble.
Mind you, at his age so did Ronaldo (what was Messi like?).  If he is willing to learn and sacrifice his own glory for the team then he could become an absolute star.

Tim has a tendency towards the over dramatic, so hopefully this is in that vein.

Yes this is the same Tim that said Adama "wasn't really one for this season..." when he signed...:-)

[Matt Collins]

He can't have been that badly injured the way he went off surely?

With him and grealish we have two absolutely outstanding talents the likes of which I don't think we've ever had in my time supporting villa.

Surely you're old enough to remember Mark Kinsella?

They've a long to go to beat Heskey and Hutton as wingers.
