Adama Traoré - GONE

[Malandro]

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

How much is that per fan erection?

[mr underhill]

He's now history confirmed on borough Twitter feed four year deal. At  least he survived the medical

[markeeeebeeee2005]

Ghost, footballer, 100m runner? Not sure.

Anyway all the best Adama, thanks for....well erm...thanks mate....

[KRS]

Has he officially gone? How much did we get back for him?

[Dave]

Is it a loan or a full sale?

Sold. Four year contract.

[Brend'Watkins]

He came, he ran, got injured, ran a bit more, then he went.

[Ron Manager]

We shall watch his career with interest.

[darren woolley]

Was never fit when he was looked awesome potential but we will never know now.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

We shall watch his career with interest.

If he is to do well it's decent bet he'll do it with Boro. Their manager, Karanka, knows all about him from his time with the Spanish Youth set up. Shame he never worked out for us but if he's not in RDM's plans, it's best he tries somewhere else.

Was there any fee involved or was it a direct swap for Bertie?

I've missed something with this one. An injury prone player is off the wage bill. I do wonder how often he was "injured" as well.
It also doesn't look like Barcelona want him back either.
Let's face it if he hadn't have been signed from one of the football elite most people wouldn't care less he had left.

[Toronto Villa]

He'll provide flashes of absolute brilliance and we will think what if. What we won't see as readily is the times he plays that will frustrate the hell out of Boro fans as it did us. In he depths of our plight manager after manager chose not to play him. When he was even fit that is. He'll be called upon to defend as part of a team at Boro as they fight to stay up and it will be interesting if he will find that side of his game. Because let's face it if he had hat in his game now Barcelona wouldn't have let him join us.

[papa lazarou]

We didn't get much of a look at him to form a proper opinion. Looked a bit Forrest Gumpish but if he gets an extended run in a side he might be very effective. On the other hand he could be one that the premier league defenders work out very quickly. No tears shed.

Good luck Adama, I'll watch with interest

Pretty much exactly what I have said to mate just:

'When i saw him play against Notts and everyone was waxing lyrical about him I said to Ad he won't make in the big time. He has freakish pace and power but literally nothing else. I've personally never seen a more selfish footballer and if he can't learn to pass and move at Barca then Karanka has a job on his hands. You'll see him on MOTD and he'll play a blinder and you'll think we should have tried harder to keep him but I guarantee he'll be a liability most of the time.'

IF and it's a big IF he can learn to be more of a team player and work off the ball (both attacking and defending) then they will have a player on their hands, but he's not 13 years old learning the ropes.

Like has been said it will be interesting but my instinct is that he won't go any higher.

Seems to me we've swapped like for like here. Bags of promise and pace but ultimately flatters to deceive. Thanks for nothing Adama. Good luck Adomah.
