Adama Traoré - GONE

[Toronto Villa]

Another problem we'll have when he plays is him being on a 75K per goal bonus.

I heard, and don't shoot me, I'm just the messenger that he has a clause in his contract rewarding forward passes. Something in the region of £10k for each, and bonuses tied to completed forward passes to a player in claret and blue. Last season, had he played against West Ham those bonuses would have doubled for those games.

Apparently, he's seeking a move because he's angry at having been relegated and therefore not able to also play Burnley. That and the fact that it is claimed he doesn't think our kit is actually claret so he is suing for a breach of contract. His agent has described it as a "washed out pomegranate". It's with the lawyers now.

I really hope that is not true, and if it is, the person who agreed it needs shooting. It is a team game FFS

It's fair enough. Every time anyone scores for us he gets £75K. Whether he's on the pitch or not.

And it's not just the senior team. Anyone scores at U-14 level or for the ladies, he's coining it in.

He might not realise it, but that kid of Legion's (Cam?) could be the clubs highest earner by Christmas in terms of playing time releasing payments, regardless of to whom.

If Adama gets fit and we play him in the right way, with the appropriate defensive cover behind him, he'll destroy teams he plays against.

[OCD]

He's got the potential to destroy teams. Last season he was constantly looking to go it alone when a pass would have been better. He's still very raw and he has to learn how to make the most of his ability. Right now Green and Hepburn-Murphy are probably ahead of him.

I don't care what you prats have to say about his potential, I want to know exactly how much he earns per week.

[dave.woodhall]

I've heard that his wage is linked to the exchange rate and every percentage point the pound goes down against the Euro his wage rises accordingly.

[SoccerHQ]

Worst news of all...I heard when he scores a goal at VP he's demanding U2 is played over the tannoy as celebration music.

Are you trying to say he effectively gets paid in Euros?

Fox should have hedged that one - idiot.

[GarTomas]

Every time someone on here speculates he receives another £10k

The latest I'm hearing is that every time Bono clicks his fingers a child in Africa dies, and Traore gets a million pounds.

What happens if Article 50 is triggered before the transfer window closes?

Apparently we have to trigger Article 51 before he's allowed to play.  Nobody knows what Article 51 is.

I heard he's located at Area 51. When they opened him up they found he was missing ankles. However the operation itself triggered a clause in his contract. I believe this where you will also need to enact Article 51.

Mark the 14th of August in your calendars as on that day Villa will be part of history. Adama will become the highest ever paid player outside of a top division. As he is the one player without a relegation clause, coupled with being here 1 year triggering a very large 'loyalty' bonus plus a hefty pay rise, he'll be earning more this year than most top flight players around the world, including the PL.

[cdbearsfan]

Absolutely disgraceful. And that's on top of his 75k a goal and 50k per assist bonuses.
