Traore is absolute shit
Traore has no defensive capabilities whatsoever. Like zero. And sure RWB have less defensive duties but they still are RB in a sense and he would cause so many defensive problems for us.
Even if he does what you say, which is debatable he hasn’t done it as a wingback and Conte hasn’t really ever used a player like that.
He doesn’t fit in Conte’s system, isn’t near good enough for Conte to change his tactics for him and really isn’t close to good enough for us at all.
After buying Doherty who looked great as a RWB at Wolves, I'm not sure I want to buy Traore... lol
If we buy anyone from Wolves it should be Neves. A deep lying playmaker next to Skipp would be a great move. We need passers.
This is complete rubbish.
I suspect the majority here have hardly watched him play a full game, he works really hard and people often don't get past him.
When their manager was Conte (why I posted it)...
...and he likely went to Wolves as he knew he'd get more football, which is why he left Barca in the first place.
Igula wrong again btw as he's played wingback at least 20 times.

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.
If these numbers are real, then he basically does what Dembele used to for us i.e. destroy the other teams shape so bad that the next player he passes to can create a goal. Definitely a better option than Bergwin or Lucas.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.
Either of Ajorque or Diallo at Strasbourg would be a decent get as a striker option. Probably one of the most in form striker duos in Europe right now (9 for Ajorque and 8 for Diallo).
Ajorque is also the tradition tall target that could be good to throw in off the bench.

Traore isn't bad. He's dangerous with the ball, creates lots of chances, poses a threat that defences must respect and therefore creates space when the ball is at his feet.
It would be great to have him come off the bench or provide a threat against anyone with a suspect back 4.
I don't think he's going to be the one that leads us to the promised land which I think people are comparing him to. We'd be a better team with him in it but I don't see us winning the CL because he's on the field.
We need a complete oil change though and that means new faces in the starting XI and in our depth. I wouldn't break the bank on him but if he's 20-30mil I'd bring him in.

If we're replacing Bergwin with Adama, i.e not bringing him in as the bonafide RW starter, I am fine.
But we have so many issues in our starting 11 that I don't think we should be focused on depth for RW just yet..

Not to worry.
When we sign Traore in January he won't get much more of a mention in the thread.
We should sell Dele, Winks, and Sanchez to Newcastle. Combined fee of £50m.
He fell over again
This is a point I want to address.
As their diets improve, their likelihood to escalate, or plunge, sugars/oxygen will diminish. With that balance will improve.
This is one of the key facets I hope to see in Conte's tenure.
He has them drinking Coconut water (I presume, in game they are on a carton fluid now), these changes will settle the diaphragm, get the center of balance to lower as the chests open more, if it corrects their in game energy balances (sodium for high sweaters is concern if coconut through winter, also osmotic draw towards intracellular hydration, in game, may trigger colds/illness/dehydration, would add small amount himalayan salt in colder conditions, if being picky, but they are covering the brand some maybe are adding to coconut base.
Anyway, watch for balance, it is a key marker for true conditional improvement, in smooth energy delivery/uptake. Sanchez was much better in this aspect yesterday, he again puts in solid displays for Columbia, maybe it's been more us than him (feeding him all wrong, messing his lungs/bloods) ?
Time will tell, he cost £40m odd for some reason, don't recall much uproar back then.
Agree with this
