Transfer Adama Traore

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Managed to sit through 3minutes 52 seconds of that. And in that time, half of the highlights are simply him running with the ball.

Nothing to show for it, no end product of final action, just a shot of him running which is abruptly cut.

Probably says it all really.



I understand the thinking, and can even say there might be something to it - but I cant help thinking myself that we really should be looking for more from a player than "makes space for others".
I think you turned it off where they started showing most of his assists.

I'm not big for or against this signing, I just thought the quality of assists were good. Kane/Son/Dele would appreciate those cut-backs and crosses, we don't really get to the by-line enough and create those easier goals.

Entirely possible (probable) I did, I cant stand those videos at the best of times. And once it was apparent the supposed "highlights" didnt actually show anything I tuned out completely.

Easy to appear polarised on a player, and paint yourself as a hater or something, which Im not.

Ive no doubt he has some good actions in his locker, and Ive no doubt some of the assists I didnt watch are very appealing.

Just as, it obvious why a player that is a monstrous specimine who can dribble past people for fun would be appealling.

Problem is, IMO, anything other than the most superficial anlaysis of him shows a player desperately lacking.

And at £40m-£50m, I want want a more complete package.
 
Let's go for Fijian winger Josua Tuisova instead. His legs are bigger.

If you zoom in, his left leg looks like Eric Cantona, deep in thought.
 
I’m really torn. Most of me says “no… he’s shit” but then you see what he can do with the ball at his feet. Take on anyone and carry it from mf to attacking 3rd in no time. He takes runners (usually 2) and would create a lot of space. It’s like in video games where you can add a certain number of points to particular attributes… most people spread them across power, skill, agility, etc. to have balance. with him it’s just full whack on the power… he has nothing else. But it works somewhat.

Was watching the game with a mate last night (aus time) and we chatted about Adama before the game started. He asked “would you sign him if you could?” Which I answered with “fuck no”. Adama then proceeded to butt-fuck us for the first 50 mins.

I’d not hate it… but I think I’m a no.

dont really know what I’ve added to the conversation to be honest.
