The few times I've seen Traore in action I thought he had brilliant speed but clumsy with the ball just the attributes that Gabby had. Great if we can get decent money for him.

I'm happy to move him on, but he's got oodles more talent with the ball than gabby.

Again, even if you're Lionel Messi with a pair of bionic feet, if you don't want to play for Villa, there is no more off than it is possible for you to fuck.

I was pretty pleased when Benteke changed his mind and decided to stay. I'll be happy to give Traore a chance if he's still here tomorrow.

If he's gone then, yes, get him to fuck and good riddance.

For me it all depends on if we're getting something meaningful, ie Adomah, in return. As much as I am excited by Adama as a player and by his obvious potential, in our current situation we need the finished article, or at least a player that is experienced in the league to help us win it (or finish at the top end).

It may be a slight downgrade in the long term, but for the purposes of the next two years, Adomah would probably give more to the squad NOW, which is most important.

I don't think we will be buying him back for £100 million ala Man Utd and Pogba anytime soon. Overrated.

I hope that he still goes, for me he is not a team player

I am sure that if he was so good, then RDM would be playing him every week in the Championship

Did he not turn up late on a match day, so was taken off the subs list?

Hopefully before that he'll knock in 70+ league goals.

I wonder what the odds on on relegation for Middlesboro, might have a punt. With Guzan in goal, and wasting money on players like Adama they are in danger of becoming the new old Villa.

I was pleased when Delph changed his mind too, what a week that was.

On the plus side, regardless of potential, if Adama goes we'll be saving roughly £280,000 a week in wages won't we?

£280,000 a second, isn't it?

£50,000 a kick, £25,000 for every step over, £75,000 for every cross into the box apparently

I think if you divide minutes on the pitch with his salary it works out at £400,098 per second.

Is it a loan or a full sale?
