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.
There is no story. We have lost Traore, Sanchez and Vertout because we were a total shamble from top to bottom last season and had no plan for these players.

I'm looking forward to seeing the goals and assists he made in the game yesterday. Sounds like a hell of a player
He had two runs  both resulting in two shots and played the full game that's equivalent to what he did for us whenever he came on!

He may well prove quite a few of us wrong someday turn out to be that more complete player he's shown glimpses of. Despite the club masquerading as the shower of shit it was last season, I can't help but think that by the time he is 30 odd, he'll be one of those players to have a list of appearances for about a ten clubs. He'll be a bit of a curiosity til then.

Yes. Two runs, two shots. No goals, no assists. Bang on form from his playing day with us. Sorry, "days"

In other news, everyone but Kodjia and Adomah were rubbish for us yesterday because they were the only two people who registered recordable statistics.

Bollocks to the likes of Bacuna and Amavi. No goals or assists, so they as well not even bothered playing.

Well at least we'll have put a nice transfer clause on any future sale should he go supersonic, right?

Be grateful he didn't score, we still have to pay him a goal bonus of 25K a goal until the end of the 2017/18 season.

Agreed. These are players who wanted to play regularly for us. They didnt get to. So when they got an opportunity to go somewhere else they did.

I cant be angry at them, I AM angry at the complete waste of talent by our previous managers.

I thought we still 'own' two of them, so we might well see them back in C&B

We've got to pay him £500,000 for each time he's the focus of any analysis on Match Of The Day.

The smart money is on him earning just 500k this season from that then

£25,000 every time a Boro fan mentions him approvingly on Twitter.

Bet Bob Mortimer is on it, he's mentioned him favourably a couple of times.

Probably, but I'm not sure that is a direct reflection on his ability.  I wish him well, for whatever reason he was not wanted by our managers so don't blame him for jumping ship.
