Except for the part that he his best goals+assists in a season is 7( 3 goals and 4 assists ) in the last 2 seasons in a row.
Thats half the productivity of Traore's best couple of seasons ago (4 goals 9 assists).

Sooner or later that season will need to be accepted as an anomaly.
Besides look at the absolute shite ASM plays with...... Traore has had players like Jimenez, Jota and Neto etc. to finish for him.
That last shot didn't go out for a throw in anyway, which is quite good for him.
With him it's a numbers game. The Wolves manager is clearly okay with Adama taking a bunch of shots. One will go in eventually.
Jimenez benefits from having Traore int he team too though.
In any case, if theres a choice Id rather we get someone far more intelligent in the salah mold instead of maximin or traore .
I'm not even bassing raw numbers as the proxy of performance measurement but if I was then............
Traore (last 2 PL seasons + this season)
2021/22 - 4 games (348 mins) 0 Goals 0 Assists
2020/21 - 28 games (2645 mins) 2 Goals 2 Assists
1919/20 - 27 games (2608 mins) 4 Goals 9 Assists
Total: - 59 games ( 5601 mins) = 6 Goals; 11 Assists: A goal every 10.37 per 90 mins. An Assist 5.66 per 90 mins
Saint-Maximin (last 2 PL seasons + this season)
2021/22 - 5 games (450 mins) 2 Goals 2 Assists
2020/21 - 19 games (1568 mins) 3 Goals 4 Assists
1919/20 - 23 games (1874 mins) 3 Goals 4 Assists
Total: - 47 games (3892 mins) 8 Goals; 10 Assists: A goal every 5.4 per 90 min. An assist 4.3 per 90 mins
All this whilst also playing in Steve Bruce's Newcastle fighting relegation in every one of those seasons!!!
That wolves lad is a bloody idiot .
He was wrestling him
He was wrestling him
Maxims had a good start to the season so far. That I agree with.
Now it is all hands on deck for Brentford. Fun game.
I got pelters when I said we should pick up Ivan Toney last season...I'm now just envious, hell im jealous of Thomas Frank
But his numbers are also far better than Traore’s too!!
ASM seems to have a bit more footballing intelligence to me.... Agreed about someone in the Salah/Son mold though.... A player without that kind of goal threat is just varying degrees of Lucas IMO.... And we already have Lucas/Berg/Gil in that case.
