Adama Traoré - GONE

[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.

You can thank Eric Black for that!

like a lot in here I will not forgive that idiot for his gutless months in charge.
Sherwood could have given him more time as well.

genuine question...how many more chances did we have to play him when he was properly fit that we chose not to ?

As I said, I think we had unreasonable expectations from the start regarding him...he played 2 seasons for Barcelona B and 3 late sub appearances for Barcelona 1st team, then came to Villa. He turned out to be the player he was...inexperienced in the top flight and full of (still) unrealized potential.

Is it a loan or a full sale?

Sold. Four year contract.

How much?

£7m apparently

[cdbearsfan]

Any word on if we got a sell on clause inserted? Dr Xia seemed to suggest we had yesterday but the Tweet isn't there any more (not that I could see anyway).

[PeterWithesShin]

Because of his contract with us, we have to match any profit Boro make on him and we still pay Adama 50K a goal for the next 5 seasons.

[mr underhill]

Ha! there's probably a grain of truth in that

How much?

£7m in his back pocket, apparantly.

Fixed

[sickbeggar]

He was massively overated. If he'd come from Man City on that contract we'd have all gone wtf?  Barcelona in " having shite youth players" shocker

[brian green]

Same old same old.  Pick a player.  Slag him off.

[sickbeggar]

No just common sense Brian. There must be hundreds of players who are currently plying their trade with "ex-barca youth" on their CV's. Most aren't much cop, because they tend to keep the good ones

[TheTimVilla]

Same old same old.  Pick a player.  Slag him off.

...and all day long, you'll have good luck

[kippaxvilla2]

I've just watched Adama against arse today and Murphy has been raving about him on MOTD.  During his eulogy he screamed 'how he hasn't got in the Villa side I don't know.'  Calling him a great find.  Don't these I'll informed pundits do your head in?  Don't they know about his £1,000 per minute appearance bonus?!

[andyh]

Don't they also realise that as soon as we were relegated he couldn't wait to jump ship.
Hence, going to Middlesboro. Fucking middlesboro.

[Steve67]

It's his one game per season where he gets noticed. The rest of the season will be his injury recovery period or keystone cops period.
