Adama Traoré - GONE

[DB]

If he could engage his brain to the same speed as his feet, he would a be a great player. He needs a good coach to get his decision making right.

[Pat McMahon]

In fairness to him, he was by far their biggest threat against us in playoffs. Did ok at Villa Park if I recall correctly, however Grealish still looked miles above him in quality.

His decision making on the ball is still awful from what I've seen.

I agree with your assessment.

I think that we were fortunate that he was not Boro's main threat, he was their only threat, so we could focus all our defensive plans on nullifying him. I reckon that he has the potential, with good coaching, to grow into an OK player, in a team with various attacking options but I think that decision making will never be his strong point.

Are any of the news reports on his transfer mentioning a sell-on clause due to us? Maybe we've all just wishfully group-thunk.

Had 20 per cent sell-on clause for Adama Traore, who will be showing his skilz today rather he was somewhere other than Wolves when he shows the premier his talent !

I think depends on fee disclosure was it disclosed??  But it's 20 per cent villa to receive

Good article. Fair play to him.

Saw some Wolves buddy show online and he came across really well. Shame it didn't work out here. Obviously needed a strong manager to show him the way, rather than Sherwood, Garde and Black.

In that article Pulis (PULIS!) says how good a student Adama was, how much he wanted to learn.  That might be maturity as he aged or it might reflect badly on Sherwood/Garde as they never seemed to suggest he was learning and both jettisoned him quickly into their stints as manager.

To be fair, anyone can be a good student when all you have to teach them is "beat your man, run to the byline, cross it to the big lad in the middle".

Which manager sold/swapped him to Middlesbrough?

[Sexual Ealing]

Either Di Matteo, or the period post-relegation when we didn't have a manager, I think.

[Brassneck]

RDM - Albert moved from them to us at almost the same time.

yes your right

I remember seeing Abert at Barnsley it might have been his debut on a cold Tuesday night and RDM was booed of the pitch

I've got it in my mind that the coaching consisted of a lot of shouting and arm waving.

Gem of a player. Yet another one we just signed at the wrong time.

The Lerner regime to blame. Incompetence from top to bottom. Randy set this club back years.
