Interesting article here that was written in February and focuses on wingers and productivity, number of dribbles, chances created etc.

Grealish is of course the most productive for .xg opportunities but there were a couple of other interesting things in the article for players we could consider. I was surprised about Adama Traore and the number of players he beats and chances he creates. Perhaps I misjudged and we should consider going for him after all. He certainly has the pace etc that would trouble a defence with Grealish on the other side.

If we were getting last year's version, it would certainly be worth it. This year's? No ta. Every time I've seen the Dogheads play he literally stands around doing nothing, before trying the odd sprint in a straight line. One goal and two assists is a crap return, and we're not short of inconsistent wide players.

Adama is is just N'Zogbia with more pace

I don't dislike him as much as many but for me Adama is what you'd get if you created a custom player on Football manager and gave him 15-20 in all technical and physical stats but straight 1s in mental stats, his ability to read play, his decision making, his movement off the ball is all on the level of a 10 year in the school playground, at best.

He has that unusual, squat build of a fighter (boxer?) that you rarely see in a footballer (i.e closer to Maradona's shape).

I wonder if he make the most of it - at times he glides past players partly due to it, something to do with a lower/different centre of gravity? Then again, is the focus on a muscular build a vanity thing? Dousing his arms with baby oil before games might give the answer. I do like watching him play though even if he's not quite the real deal.

I'd be happy with him back. He has the potential to frighten opponents. Lots of people seem to have decided Lingard is the real deal, based on one decent half season after years of mediocrity, but many of the same people have written Adama Traore off after one underwhelming campaign.

I'd be happy to swap him for AEG or Trez.

So many other clubs out there. 

I don't see why he'd head back, or feel any particular affinity for, a club where he previously had a bad time.

An alternative wide player to Grealish is probably where we're going to see the biggest investment this summer, particularly to the injury to Trez.

I'd prefer that to be on something better than a Wolves reserve.

I’d rather have Neto than Traore if we raided Wolves.
