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.

He’ll be able to create all sorts of dangerous situations, but the situations are less dangerous when you have a clumsy ball player quarterbacking them.
 
Levy has flown to the Bahamas to have talks with Lewis over increasing our January budget:


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
 
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.
That is a very worrying thought!
