Adama Traoré - GONE

[DeKuip]

All that pace, all that ability and all that money, but what did he deliver?
One good cross at Sunderland.

[django]

The only time I saw him in the flesh was in a youth game against West Ham last season. He stood out at that level, but not in a good way.

[Tony Erdington]

if he don't wanna be here,

like I give a shit about him.

Wanker.

oh and do mind that blade of Grass, fuckin fanny.

[cdward]

Dr X has tweeted that we will benefit if he becomes great in the future.
At last a clause in a contract that we will benefit from.

[Dante Lavelli]

The goal at palace was pretty much all him.

[Fingers]

Well done to the Villa for shifting him.  While his debut at Palace was the most exciting I've ever seen, he simply doesn't have a team or work ethic.  As my good friend Mr P.Withe says, he is uncoachable.  No Spanish speaking manager or different environment will change him.  File under wasted talent.

that echoes my position.  If he had hunger I'd be gutted but if he wants out there's not much we can do.
I wish him luck and success as I don't think the FOUR managers have given him many opportunities to shine so it is little wonder he feels no affiliation.

Yeah, bye. Glad we got something for him (trade or cash). I am no longer interested in "he is young and could come good" players. We have enough of those, losing one who didnt want to be here is fine by me.

I read that we got about 7m for him and paid 4 up front with 2 on promotion for Adomah, so not a bad deal if indeed Tony has got us a decent sell on in the future.

[eamonn]

It would be worth someone asking Tony about any sell-on clause, he'd probably answer!

Any sell-on due to Barcelona would only be on profit, right? So if we paid £7m and got the same back we'll likely have broke even with nothing further due to Barca.

If Dr Love managed to do that deal I'm more than impressed.

[CT Villan]

I think many fans saw him as our great hope in a sea of shit last season, but the optimism was misplaced. He's an inexperienced kid and it was probably wrong, albeit understandable, for us to build him up in such a way.

...plus we've just saved millions per week in wages by moving him on

[ChicagoLion]

He should have been given more chances when he was fit.
It is. easy to slate him now but we seem to have done a great job of keeping mediocrity happy and alienating talent.

[SteveN]

I read somewhere that Karanka said he has known him "since he was a kid" so presumably thinks he will be able to get a tune out of him.

You can thank Eric Black for that!
