Quote from: chrisw1 on September 24, 2020, 10:02:22 AMI know we need to trim the squad, but unless there's another striker up our sleeve then I'd prefer to keep him until at least Wes' return.Traore played as a central striker for Lyon for a bit didn’t he? Maybe he would be the back up option. The problem we have with moving players on is that most of the ones we would be happiest to see leave (Lansbury, Jota etc) probably don’t have anywhere near the interest as players like Samatta and Guilbert, who, while they would be more useful squad players, would enable us to generate some money by selling/loaning them.

If we bring in another then it'll be a case of shifting one of those (probably AEG or Trez) out too, before they get to a point when we can't sell them for love nor money.

Gone on a 4 year deal - best of luck to him
*£2.4M ?If true, not too bad. Hard to argue that he played a big part in us staying up but if the only other option to lead the line was El Ghazi, maybe he did make more of a difference than we'll ever know.
