only a matter of time now
we need this BEFORE NLD with Son injured
I'm Torn like Natalie Imbruglia
He'll do for now I guess for £20m because Emerson Royale is offering the square root of 0, that said I guess Traore does offer more, he'll get us up the pitch I suppose but I'm not expecting much from end product.
Feels a bit like Sissoko all over again
I hope he comes good but feel like we're throwing 20m down the drain. Is he any better than moura, if no then why waste our time.
If I’m an opponent I’m going to defend him in much the same way as Royal, keep a spare man ready to double any runs toward the box and just beg him to cross the ball.I'm Torn like Natalie Imbruglia

We’ve got some players they might want to buy…They will buy plenty players this window and get some on loan. Their first step. Survival is key, then they flex their financial power.
We know it's coming.
Given that we were chasing him at double the price in August this seems like it’s Paratici’s idea, for better or worse.I find it hard to believe that Conte really wants this fella. Especially in light of his recently softening of his stance.
More likely, "we can't afford the signing you want, it's Traore or nothing".

I believe we would only sign him to play as RWB.
Trusting a player who never scores to cover for Son is deranged.

Levy has flown to the Bahamas to have talks with Lewis over increasing our January budget:
At times yes. He was even a false 9 at times.
Or he's avoiding Conte.Seems very odd to make the effort over such a low fee. If true, has to be - either - the £20m is in addition to whatever the Jan budget was (so other, more expensive players coming), or he fancies a trip to the Bahamas (or has locked the Excel sheet and forgotten the password and needs Lewis to unlock it as admin)…
One of those, deffo
The backtracking from the non-believers if we get Adama will be glorious.
That is a very worrying thought!He'll basically get his 18 month salary whether he's here 18 months or not.
Levy will certainly want to have him here for 18 months rather than have to pay him for services not rendered.
On the other hand, the cost of Conte for 18 months based on £15m a year is £22.5m
That's less than any number of players we should have been signing for either Poch or Mourinho. It's vastly cheaper to hire and fire coaches like this to keep the fans interested than it is to invest in the squad.
