Summer 2016: Transfer rumours and suggestions

[Holte L2]

I have seen, with my own eyes, in the flesh, every minute Adama Traore has played for us.  I have never seen him play badly.  I do not know where all the hate has come from. 

Same here Brian, I've seen every minute he's played for us. He could be a massive player for us if we gave him the opportunity.

Does he not need to get fit and then impress the manager in training

[KRS]

IF Adama stays
IF we can get him fit
IF we can sort out his attitude
IF he can be coached to get him to play as part of a team

...then it would be like a new transfer given that he's hardly played for us so far.

I don't hate him but..

He simply does not pass, he does not defend and wants away. He loves to dribble at defenders no matter how many are standing in front of him. He has confidence in himself, sure, but puts himself on an island.

When /where did he say he wants to leave?

Like everything, our owner announced it on social media.

sky sports news reckon the Hernandes deal won't happen

Don't get the love fest for Adama.
Quick, most definitely, and that's it.
He's a ball hogging selfish player who plays for himself.
This is more than likely the reason he's hardly selected.

Young, inexperienced, new to English football, talented but needs coaching.  I should imagine that coaching of disciplined team play in Spain comes far later in a young players development than it does in England.  Can he handle it in a foreign country, I don't know.

I certainly don't hate the player, Brian.
I actually agree with omvf's first sentence.
Maybe I was a bit harsh in what I put, he is a talent, there's no denying, but, the way he plays at the moment I just don't feel he's the right fit at this point in time. We can't afford a player in the team who, for me, isn't yet a team player. As I said, this ir more than likely why he doesn't get selected.

This Gives me hope that it may a finally happen after all....

[KRS]

Is this Hernandez even that good? Is he genuinely likely to be the missing piece of the jigsaw? Are there better targets available out there that would come...or is this guy the best option?

Have you seen him play well?

[brian green]

Why Adama appears in highlights and clips and excerpts from games to be selfish and unaware of his own team is because he runs at the opposition.  He puts the opposition on the back foot.  He has been in a team obsessed with passing backwards and sideways.  Why do the fans sing his name?  Because when he comes on we go forwards.  The worst aspect of our capitulations is that we can't get out of our own half.  Put somebody quick with him like Rushian and Adama will have somebody to pass to.

[brian green]

And yes I have seen him play well.  He was outstanding against Palace and Notts County and against Norwich in the short time he was given on the field.

We're trying to sign him because he scored loads of goals in the Championship last year.

In a parallel world somewhere, a group of Villa fans are whining about this Hernandez guy we've had up front for a year while we got relegated and saying we need a bloke like Rudy Gestede who has a proven record of scoring loads of goals to get a team promoted.
