No, god no. Please not.
What the fuck about him is exiting exactly? I found Usain Bolt in Beijing exiting - raw pace and power. Though wouldn't like to see him starting for Spurs. Straight running pace is so grossly overrated that it makes me puke. If fast running in straight lines is what gets you going, then track and field is your discipline.
There are some things that either are there or are not. Like reading the game, and being able to pick right decision in tight spaces. Traore does not have those things. He has pace and strenght. If you read those past two sentences over, you can maybe understand that those same things were exactly same things that could have been said about Sissoko in same age... roughly when we signed him. Now tell me - how well did we manage to teach him other skills here at Spurs?
Literally there is no use of "creating room" if you can't deliver the ball to right place after creating it. And this is the room creation that Traore offers.
He is a lad who has played in 133 games in EPL. And with that time he has scored 10 and assisted 18. Including that was his purple patch season of 19/20 where 4 goals and 9 assists came. If we exclude that, it would be 6 goals and 9 assists over 96 games. Really? That is the level we are aiming?
Despite his issues Bergwijn has 4 goals and 6 assists in his tally over 37 games in EPL. He is younger and he has had only 1,5 season to get used to EPL levels while Traore has had A LOT more time.
I could get if he'd be 19 yo with potential and upside. Maybe then I'd believe he has significant upside.
Now he is 25 years and 7 months old. Super easy pass. Literally manifestaion of mediocrity. Future Everton player.
