Adama Traore - CONFIRMED

[aj2k77]

And I don't mind Villa fans telling me the truth about the club, joking that we will probably employ Dave Bassett or give Nzog a wage wise but I'm not having a shithouse like him taking the piss publicly that we will probably give Nzog a wage rise because of how badly we are run. Yeah we are/have been, whatever, but we are in this together and I'd rather keep our mockery in house rather than jump on the bandwagon of bashing us because it's the in thing and you've been sacked off.

I'd 'tweet' him that he's a complete knob and about as much a Villa fan as Robert Hopkins but the child would probably block me.

[Smirker]

If Stan gave such a massive fuck about how we are being miss run then where were his comments before ?

Before what? He's been saying it for ages?

How long ago is ages exactly - in the summer he tweeted about having coffee with Fox and "exciting times" ahead for Villa fans. He hasn't yet said what hasn't been delivered that led him to this conclusion at that time but has subsequently changed - although I assume it isn't failing to sign Adebayor and other Spuds rejects

He posted this before the summer - http://www.twitlonger.com/show/n_1skjj5s

Not on the bench?

[Dave P]

Something doesn't sit right with this fella. I'm astonished he isn't playing more often.

[Proposition Joe]

If the reported 40K is basic wage, and the "incentives" to bring it up to 75K include a hefty appearance fee, maybe that's why they're leaving him out of a midweek cup game.

Or, he really is not what we though he was.  Pele hasn't sung Adama's praises anywhere has he?  Then we'd know for sure he's crap.

[SoccerHQ]

He showed enough against Palace to suggest he can be a good player in the premier league, just think of how many full backs in this league get done by pace.

Must've been injured tonight.

[mr underhill]

trouble is, he's always injured

[SoccerHQ]

Yes his glass ankles are a problem.

I couldn't see that being the reason he doesn't get games. Surely we wouldn't agree to such terms for an unproven player?

First why is this even a talking point? There are many players around the league on this kind of money and more. Second he signed a 5 year contract. Why would we be leaving him out of the side after a couple of months due to a payment clause?

[mr underhill]

I think Adama will be playing a lot more under Remi's new regime

[Olof's Beard]

For all the conspiracy theories, the real reason he is not playing could be very simple. He has had a shocker every time he has come on the pitch since his injury. He has the raw attributes and is very young. He will come good and will have a part to play as he season goes on.

[Hookeysmith]

Lets hope so as I see channelled in the right way he could be a real weapon to unlock defences

It doesn't help with him being brought on with only 5 or 10 minutes to play with us behind.
Certainly with the Swansea game I'd have been tempted to bring him on when we went one up.
