The Traore clips remind me of Yannick Bolaise.

not him

I didn’t think so. I was wondering on the beard but was out and about so I didn’t get a proper chance to look at it.

Eze was one of the players we should have signed. I think he'll be excellent.

A lot of people reported that he wanted to stay in London though.

yep. west brom offered qpr a higher fee, but he didn't want to leave london.

Didn't Eze want £100k/wk too which apparently shocked us.

yep. west brom offered qpr a higher fee, but he'd rather stab himself in the eyes, than go to the baggies.

Edit.

Definitely would like to see a young, exciting attacking midfielder come in.  Might not start every game, but could be one over the next couple of seasons who could come on and offer something different in games while adjusting to the league.

Still remember thinking how good Eze looked in that beating QPR have us after we had hammered Wolves at home.

If that's the job you want them to do I'd rather stick with Jacob Ramsey.

I doubt it. QPR have little money, I doubt he was on much more than £10k there.

Adama Traore needed coaching to harness and direct his natural ability - he didn't get that with us, nor at Boro.  Nuno got him playing just by getting him to slow down a bit and lift his head up more to see his options.   

If I remember rightly, Graham Taylor did the same with Tony Daley who was a head down, run like hell player before Sir G took him aside and told him to slow down and mix it up.

[Damo70]

It's always a worry when fans are glad to see a player go.  I hope we know what we're getting with Traore

In fairness, I'd you read this forum when Adama left you saw the same. He was a fast tricky headless chicken for us, and has since become a very good player.

Let's hope this Traore had that period for Lyon and becomes a very good player for us.

I haven't written off Trez or El Ghazi yet either. Having enough competition may allow them more space to develop. I honestly think Trez will become an important player for us.

Trez stepped up for us in the relegation run in so I am looking forward to seeing him this season with a Premier League season under his belt.

German press have gone back to the "Rashica isn't keen" line this afternoon.

We need to find an alternative and move on IF it is true.
