I'm happy with Adomah, but let's not kid ourselves, this kid has it. He could destroy any left back in the world on his day. Just depends if he can find the consistency and composure to take his game on.

Let's not kid ourselves...this kid still has no end product and will be injured again sooner rather than later.

For me Adomah completely changed the course of yesterday's game when he came on.

He certainly made a difference no doubt about that.

Adama will look good occasionally because of his searing pace.his one major attribute.So did Tony Daley but consistency will always be the problem for this type of winger.

Adama might be good, he might not. Truth is that he was constantly injured and despite a couple of moments of brilliance he actually delivered very little.  How many goals or assists has he managed for Boro? Do we miss him? Not yet.

It was more Black scandalously benching him and Jack for that matter in the run in and continually playing the likes of Bacuna and Richardson as wide options who were receiving dogs abuse at that stage. Oh and the pathetic Sinclair.

That Bournemouth home game last season remains one of the worst team selections I've ever seen from a professional manager although RDM ran him very close at times this season.

The kid clearly has something....Garde should've given him more of a run aswell. I think he'll go on to have a good career like Cahill so one we'll regret not giving more of a chance too.

Just watched the arsenal vs boro highlights and his pace and power is frightening at times and he is  still young too. However, how often he manages to start games and then influence them with this sort of play remains to be seen as others have said.

He has bags of talent though and I hope he does well.

As soccerHQ says he could be a very good player like when Cahill left us, me and some of the lads were going through the players that have gone on to do good things after leaving us at the match yesterday and Adama was mentioned as a possible one for the future. We may regret selling him although we never knew how good he could be as he didn't play enough for us.

Adama is still very young and a bit raw. He's still learning the game. But I think he'll be very good in the next couple of seasons. Still blame Eric Black mainly for not selecting him particularly when we were as good as down. What was there to lose at that point? - stupid decision making from him and Garde.

The fact it that we were in such a mess whilst he was here that we  did not set up the team to supply him properly. He came on for an occasional 15 mins and mostly stood around isolated  waiting for a pass. Another player wrong time wrong place story.

I know I'm being cynical but what Adama did yesterday is precisely what he did for us. Other fans will have seen the highlights and thought just as we are now. That he is incredible. Then neither us nor them would see that again for weeks or months.

Now maybe with good coaching he's starting to show the promise and consistency we all hoped of him. Time will tell. But in he situation we found ourselves in last year he wasn't available enough for any number of reasons. And when he was he wasn't consistent or reliable enough. He wanted out from the club once relegated and just like Sanchez and Veretout who jumped ship they can fuck off too. A properly coached and responsive Adama would have destroyed the Championship but he didn't have the stomach for it. So be it. We need dedicated players.

Not that he did not have the stomach for it TV.  There were other non football issues with Traore.  I also think the charge of Vertout and Sanchez "jumping ship" is harsh.

So what was the full story with Traore?  I still don't feel I know.

I'm looking forward to seeing the goals and assists he made in the game yesterday. Sounds like a hell of a player

We're all feeling a bit jilted here I think. He was brilliant yesterday and there was plenty of end product including a great cross and a lovely through ball. If the forwards take the chances, he has a couple of assists. If he can stay free of injury then he could be very special, he looked better yesterday than he ever did for us and he had top class defenders on toast.
