Transfer Adama Traore
- Thread starter The Swellhead Spur
- Start date
Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
It's a transfer thread so erm talking about replacements, which usually means someone isn't good enough in their position
I think his "mass" is a bit hyped up, he's not Lou Ferigno out there lol, he weighs 72kgs at 5ft 10 (according to Wolves official site). He is explosive and fucking strong though (for a footballer). He is obviously solid muscle, whatever his weight is.
And he likes to wear his shirts with the sleeve cut off right at the top of the bicep, which does enhance the size of his guns lol, most footballers don't wear their shirts like that. He's proud of the guns, rightly so haha

That's the whole point of us having a DOF.... Recruitment with a vision that transcends the manager.
He certainly has positive attributes, but yeah, he's basically 'peak' Sissoko. A physical force with zero end product.
He's very muscular, especially for a footballer, but he is not a massive unit really, assuming his height/weight stats are accurate. He's in great shape, but it's no surprise he can gain a bit of muscle with how explosive he is.Then again.....
Now Lukaku, there is a fucking unit of a player (6ft 3, 93 kg). Get Lukaku wearing the same size shirt as Traore and see who looks like the hulk lol
And have you seen Ndombele lifting weights? No, neither have I.
He sounds spot on for us. We need someone to fill the goals void left by Lamela.
Yeah but we don't have a long serving DoF and never have. Weve had years without a DoF. There is no consistency, would anyone be surprised if Paratici lasts a couple of years and is either let go or he resigns.
Why can't we just copy the Ajax model. No matter who is the manager/head coach and no matter who is the sporting director the style of football and principles of the club remain the same.
“Mass” “Guns” “baby oil” “muscle”
Is this a footy forum or have Flav and co. Sold out to the owners of Mr Olympia?

That’s like me. I’m 6’2’’ 90kg. Only with a bit more belly
Traore's upper body OWNS Lukaku.
I'm not sure what your intent behind pointing this out. We have one NOW (he can't retro-fit the past)....
Remains to be seen how well it pans out......
It it works, I assume he'll remain.
Again, this may or may not be the first steps towards that.
I think they need to go and meet at the Cornerpin and fucking settle this once and for all.

We need press resistent CMs to control games better and to ease pressure on the defense, not another fucking sprint merchant.
This Budget Dinosaur clearly wants to turn us into Wolves mk2

72kg is the weight of a Middleweight boxer. He looks a lot bigger than most Middleweights i've seen and he's not carrying much bodyfat either. I'd say he's between 80-85KG. Still not massive but certainly much more muscular than most footballers his height.
Nothing wrong with this by the way, it's good to see a footballer who has put in the work at the gym and credit to him for that.

Traore is massively press resistant and progresses the ball further per match than any player in the world. It’s one of the big benefits of signing him. You don’t need to restrict your team to just breaking the press through the center of the park.
Unfortunately we signed two of the best press breaking midfielders realistically available in Ndombele and GLC and it hasn’t come off for us. Sarr looks significantly press resistant looking at his progressive carries numbers, Moriba would also massively fit the bill in that regard.
Bull fucking shit that kid is 158 lbs.
He is massively overbuilt for football. I'm not listening to any argument over the cut of his shirt, do not insult me.
Haha agreed on the weight..but i don't actually think he's overbuilt.
If i had my way all pro-footballers would look like him. I don't want 150 pound pussies like Winks. I want a team of 190 pound monsters crushing everything in their path like footballing terminators.
I know i'm on my own here..
