Adama Traoré - GONE

[sirlordbaltimore]

Despite being laughable how he keeps getting moves despite failing at his last three clubs. The more money he goes for the better it is for us. Not sure what the sell on percentage fee we've got on him is but it all helps

[eamonn]

Do we have a sell-on? Thought it more likely that Barcelona would.

[KevinGage]

Put him in the same category as Jordan Ayew.
Promised much and delivered fuck all.
Both guys will make a phenomenal living out of a game they rarely set alight

Ay, Ayew has done zip all for Swansea; anonymous on the games I've heard / watched.

I saw him set-up a goal (for another of our exes,Routledge, I think), recently with a great shimmy that outwitted the defender but that aside, I think he's flattered to deceive. Incredibly frustrating footballer to watch given his ability.

MOTM in one of those vital games at the end of the season that kept them up (Boro at home?)  and better in general in the latter part of the season, according to my Swans supporting work colleague.

Still managed to dismantle the crossbar with unerring accuracy though.  Frustrating is the word.

There's would have been with us. They won't have any deal with Boro.

He'll be able to go after the relegation hatrick at Newcastle.

Twenty seven matches last season. No goals. One assist. Three teams trying to buy him for anything up to £20 million.

This is my forty second summer on this planet, and every year my love of football dwindles a little more.

[Leicester_Villian]

He should move into athletics ...he is damm quick but has zero football brain !

I don't think he knows what he is going to do let alone his team mates

Records dont lie ....how many goals and assists has he done in past two seasons

Yes we do, the Dr confirmed it at the time we sold him.

[mr underhill]

the trouble is the sell on clause is written in Dr T's hieroglyphic style and no fucker anywhere this side of ancient Egypt can decipher it.

That's OK. Just send them a bill for £10M and no one can reject it.

Ayew was our best player 15-16, albeit in a 'best of a bad bunch' kind of way. He was one of the few who gave a shit. I'd prefer to be starting the season with him in the squad than McCormack.

Traore will disappear into obscurity within 5 years, I think he struggles to grasp that it's a team game, and is a typical example of the young modern footballer that thinks he's made it but done nothing. I think in his case being once a Barcelona player is what causes his head to be the size of a hot air balloon.

i feel your pain mate. I thought this lad was a very raw talent that needed shaping. Turned out that he just wasn't very good.  Let's move on

This bit is unfair, what has he ever done to suggest he thinks he's made it or to prove he has a big head?

Yes he holds onto the ball and doesn't pass or move as well as you'd hope but the assumption that by doing that he must be big headed is nothing more than an assumption.

Again this is a player who we bought knowing he was raw and after barely seeing him play people have decided that (at 19/20) he's shit and will never make it anywhere, I just don't get why some fans are so eager to slag off young players.

[mr underhill]

maybe because he is actually shite?
