Transfer Adama Traore

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Agree fully. I'm completely on board for Traore to be honest. His season before last was really good, 4 goals, 9 assists .. I have no doubt he'd have had a simar assist output last season had Jiminez not been injured. A big game player, seems to always keep teams like City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man Utd pinned back for periods of the game. Despite winning three points, our performance against Wolves was a bit worrying, and if that's how we're going to be playing then Traore is at least a massive upgrade on Lucas for that RW role. I think people would be happier with this transfer in 3/4 months than they are now.

For me industrial football is not my thing but if we are going down that route then you have to do it properly. Adama, Kessie in the midfield, maybe a back up striker like Wood.

Our tactics seem to be all about fitness, speed and power. If you are going to do that then do it right.

I don't really get it tbh, on the left we have Sonny, Bergwijn and Sessegnon. On the right we've got Lucas, Gil and Lo Celso seems to be getting game time in this position. We're not in a place to spunk 40m in a position we don't really need. Our priorities IMO in order should be

1. Getting out Sissoko, Ndombele, Winks, Aurier, Sanchez
2.Centre Back
3. Right Back
4. AM
5. Back up Striker

This.

Adama is a pointless signing that really doesn’t improve us in any measurable way.
 
Something I don't get here....

At Wolves' best under Nuno, fans and pundits alike were purring over Moutinho, Nevez, Neto, Jota, Jiminez and the combined efforts of their defence...... Now; despite his poor goals and assists the narrative is that Traore is the catalyst for most of what is good about their play?

Is the underlying notion here that we'd need to build the way we play around a player of Traore's questionable quality????

if we get him Adama is going to acquire legendary status at the club. And I'm not talking Steffen Freund "legendary"

Oh but we are so lucky to have you here. At least some beacon of undisputed truth and knowledge!

Others of us, those poor lost souls who claim that if you look at stats like "progression with ball" and "successful dribbles" in isolation then they do not hold any value at all... cause you can easily progress the ball 100 meters and then run out with it. But you know better and you preach!

Some might say that dribble for dribbling sake if you don't find right teammate in right position to use the ball wisely is not maybe most important stat and. But you know better and you preach!

Some can say that those two features are in fact just a feature, just like "power" and "pace", that are only useful when they are put to good and tangible use. But you know better and you preach!

Some stupid people can say that paying 40 or more million for 25y and 7 month player who is in age where no massive progress happens anymore is bad business, cause some features you have and some you don't. But you know better and you preach!

Some most ignorant and blind people say that most of the arguments here like "he can progress the ball upfield" ; "he will create spaces for others"; "he is quick and strong" ; "he was just one of the best players in game against us" sound very much like signing of another player from bottom half side who posted similar numbers and had similar glaring shortcomings in 2016 and who is still in the club. But you know better and you preach!

Blessed be your clear spirit and big heart. Let heaven give you unlimited energy for posting rhetorical questions without any actual answer. May your days always be filled with calling others names and demonstrate your superiority.
