Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

[Dick Edwards]

Traore always had something special in him, he just needed polishing up. Villa hadn't got the time to wait for him to come good unfortunately. At the time, a swap with Albert Adomah was good business. Albert did a great job for us but Traore will spend the rest of his career at a Champions League contender. It may only be in bursts but he's a game changer, and he has the pace and power to do it at the very highest level.

It wasn’t a simple as coming good, but properly coached. You could see there was a player in there at us and Boro.

[PaulWinch again]

Traore in this thread is pure pie in the sky, totally unrealistic.  Wolves would want about 70m,  I sincerely doubt we'd be spending anywhere near that bracket on one player, and why on earth would Traore leave a club challenging for a top 4 place and getting into European competition to come to a club that escaped the drop by the skin of it's teeth?  If he goes anywhere it will be to someone playing at a higher level than Wolves are.  That aint us. 

Yes agree.

He's going to hate us, we took him from Barcelona and made him go to Middlesborough, and to escape fropm that he had to go to Wolverhampton.

Most people would take 5,000 years in the Sarlacc pit over that.

According to the gossip on BBC today Wolves need to sell Traore. Reckon he would come back.

I saw that, seems strange they are reporting they have to sell to buy. I thought Wolves owners were absolutely minted.

Anyway, personally I wouldn’t take Traore back.
I still think he’s a bit like a circus act.

One trick show pony.

Haven’t watched him in a while I take it?

Yes I have, he was and still is an injury prone one trick pony.

I doubt Stylian felt he was moving to a lesser English club.

Moving from pub football with Celtic to anywhere in the top 2 English divisions would be a massive step up, mind you Alan Nixon writing for Whizzer & Chips would be as well.

Most who've left Celtic in recent years have actually done really well, Van Dijk and Victor Wanyama both left for Southampton and quickly got bigger moves to CL clubs, Tierney done well at Arsenal since getting into the team and Dembele went to Lyon and was scoring twice v Man. City just last week.

When we were having discussions about who should be our next DOF I wouldn't have been against picking up whoever was doing their scouting for last decade as they've picked up some real gems and Edouard looks another one. Plenty of goals for France under 21s aswell.

I'd be happy with him and Watkins. Not top level but it's very hard in our current state to get one of those so you'd like to think one of them would develop into top class striker given their scoring records over last few seasons.

Must have vey high standard of players given what we've been playing out wide since he left!

He set up a huge amount of goals for Raul Jimenez last season. Just recently won the penalty v Sevilla which they missed.

Yeh Trez and AEG are so much better ;-)

If they’re having to sell to buy, I wonder if this might be a turning of the tide for Wolves?
To be honest, I don’t think he’d come back to us, I’d guess he’d go abroad, maybe back for a Barcelona rebuild?

[SoccerHQ]

Spurs would probably take him. They have Lucas Moura who's alright but think Adama is more effective.

[Damo70]

Sorry, but I just don't get not prioritizing a goal scorer.

I agree. Traore has turned into a good Premier League attacker who can chip in with goals. As can Grealish, McGinn and Trezeguet. As a team we have a number of players capable of scoring a reasonable amount of goals over the course of a season. What we don't have is a reasonably prolific one in three games out and out striker like Abraham. Watkins and Benrahma are both proven one in three Championship strikers so it would be a question of if either or both of them could become a one in three Premier League striker.

I think they're a bit busy with their own rebuild to be honest.

He is still a luxury so not the type of player we need to buy whilst we are building a strong core in the team.

Spurs will likely offer £5m plus some shit reserve and everyone in the media will say what a great negotiator Levy is. They won’t get him and they’ll do that again for another top player.
