Traore... come on man. He latched on to a long ball on Saturday, split the defenders, had a man making a run in the box, and then over cooked the pass so badly that the keeper didn't have to move. He's all style and no end product. ZERO goals and ZERO assists in 14 PL matches this season.

Going by just one highlight. And none of our players has ever done that, eh? Including Kane and Sonny. In any case, not only are you looking at the team with the 2nd worse offense in the league, but also at a completely different system to what we play. We don't need Traore to be our creative spark. We just need him to pull the opposition all over the place and let the other players do the final passing and goal scoring.

Didn't I say he as ZERO goals and ZERO assists in 14 games? Maybe I didn't say that. He as ZERO goals and ZERO assists in 14 games. We need someone with an end product.

Overly simplistic way about looking at his contribution, again against Villa he had a direct contribution to all of their goals with no assists or goals.

He had no assists against us earlier in the season and tore them apart almost at will...he has only started 9 games and tbh I'm pretty that's about his future intentions.

He makes things happen and his strength, skill and pace will cause any team on the planet problems.

His passing accuracy is better than Lucas btw and he loses the ball less than he does when he decides to carry the ball.

Lots are saying how boring we are winning, he's a player that is exciting every game and needs a better club to kick on.

Until yesterday Lucas had 1 assist and 0 goals btw.
 
Shot creating actions are the two previous things before a shot on goal, be it a pass, dribble or winning a free kick or corner etc. (Exactly like the 3 goals Wolves scored against Villa).

If Paratici and co. aren't interested, then they're not worth their roles considering his ever reducing price.


Son 3.32 | Lucas 3.18 | Kane 2.21

I still really hope we sign him.

So he’s worse than Lucas?

No thanks I’ll pass.
 
We need 1) a new CB, 2) a new CM, 3) a new ST, and 4) a new RB.

We need to sell probably four of the following as quickly as possible, of Ndombele, Lo Celso, Alli, Bergjiwn, Sanchez, Doherty. Arguably several others need to go, as well.

An extraordinary amount of business needs to be done BEFORE even having a discussion about bringing someone like Traore in. Signing Traore would be such a Spursy move, when the entire spine of this team badly needs to be ripped out replaced first.
 
We don't need a brute. We need brains in our midfield. Adama simply isn't a clever enough footballer to be the solution to our RW woes.

I'd rather pay 50 million for Raphina than 30 for Adama. That's the type of player we need.

No, he's better than Lucas is the actual point (in a worse side with worse finishers).

We are looking for a player that contributes to creativity and makes shots happen...plus he's exciting to watch.

If we can fuck off Bergwijn and sign him, it would he ideal IMO.

Highly debatable that’s he’s better than Lucas but in any ev ref nt the squad is stuffed with players who don’t really produce anything. Seems like adding him would be another. Playing him out wide isn’t going to improve his end product.

Nah. Not for me. Certainly not at the price I have seen being touted.

You'd need to look at how many times a Traore dribble ends up with a team mate receiving the ball compared to him getting fouled or giving it away, which is what Moura typically does.

I suspect Traore dribbling the length of the pitch results in a chance a few moves further down the line. Whereas a typical Moura dribble results in being tackled of fouled, neither of which ends up in us having a chance.

But then again......that goal.

That hat-trick. (I will never care how long ago it was.)

He literally creates chances with his play, that's the point...and the price is around £20m if new reports are to be believed.

He will go to a massive club.
