Most of the runs amounted to nothing but what's noticeable is how excited the kids comments are. Traoré tends towards those flashy types of moments they drool over through playing too much FIFA or PES. The end result is a talented yet very incomplete player who is yet to fit into any system Sherwood, Garde offered (although the words 'Sherwood' and 'system' in the same sentence are dubious) and doesn't look like doing so under Di Matteo. Another young player probably getting ahead of himself in terms of where he's at in his career.In other words, all fart and no shit.All fart and no shit implies no end product, but he managed a dozen or so assists over a full season in the Spanish second division, which I doubt is much worse than the Championship, and I'm sure he would've created plenty more chances which didn't get converted.Of course he'll look better on the Youtube than in an actual match, but that's pretty much the case of any winger who's ever lived.

I just hope that he goes very quickly, and we are not left with him for the remainder of the season sulking and moaningRead also that Hutton and Richards have told RDM that they want away (if true that is the best news I have read in a long time)yes peas
I have seen in the flesh every minute he played for us. He was potentially one of the most exciting players I have ever seen in a Villa shirt, certainly the quickest. Not to have made the most of him is unforgivable on the part of the managers and coaches responsible for bringing him on. That is what I think, you think what you think about him. The loss of such potential is entirely consistent with the managerial incompetence of the Lerner era.
They both need to go but would leave us worryingly short on squad strength so a busy few days ahead. As for Adama the man of glass comes from a shite Barca second string and bombs. Terrible signing on a Balabanesque level.

I take them with a grain of salt, Traoré's one however replicated virtually everything I'd seen him do previously in a Villa shirt coming off the bench last season - no end product. I'll give him some grace for injuries but still...Thankfully our Jack seems to have realised that after a half season in the Prem and a blinder in a Semi Final, he's got to work even harder to back it up. Traoré has one good season at this level but by all reports still yet to come to that realisation.

He came on at the weekend suggesting both club and player were finally on the same page and ready for him to get a chance to flourish.Whats the point in having contracts with players if they can decide that they no longer want to stay, but we can't terminate contracts of players that we no longer want here? Really boils my piss.
