Headless chicken at times today but great run for the cut back across the line for Richardson to somehow miss from two yards.  Clearly has some pace and is exciting to watch and not even he knows what's coming next.  With midfielders who can get him the ball, he will be great.

why? I've seen little in him to suggest someone will cough up the 7m or whatever it was we paid for him. For me he has an awful lot to prove.

That was Ayew with the cut back.

Traore does have incredible pace and skill. He just needs to learn when to pass it.

Was it Ayew? My eyes aren't what they used to be. Terrible miss though eh?

Best player we have got in the squad by a country mile.  Also the quickest player I have ever seen in any side. Including Gabriel.

have we seen enough of him to make that assertion though Brian? For me he simply hasn't played enough to judge. He could be a magician or a one trick pony.

Twice he received the ball and twice he gave  it to a Bournemouth player. Obviously our training is paying dividend.

He's got the pace to really hurt teams, but he's such a one trick pony, you can scarcely believe where he came from.

I think his name is Barrett at Swansea. He's a lot like Traore but more developed and mature. Traore's issue is when he either gets the ball too slowly or he's squeezed out on the right he gets frustrated or tries to do too much. If he has any room he is devastating.

The biggest issue is if he loses it does he have enough desire to battle to get it back. I think that is why he isn't a Barcelona a player because in my opinion much more than the passing and movement that has made them famous, the strength of that side in recent years is how hard they work to win the ball back if they do lose it.

Even if he is a one trick pony, and we haven't seen enough of him to know, it's a trick that terrifies defenders, that most can't cope with, that no one else in our squad can do, and that excites fans.

Sorry his name is Barrow. He's listed as a forward but really operates down the right wing. Just YouTube him and you'll swear you are watching a taller version of Traore.

He may be a one trick Pony like Gestede but I think both can do a job in championship.

He'd destroy Div 2 defences, the only worry is how much he would be fit to play.
