Adama Traore

[quiet_riot]

He's just a ridiculous and unique athlete I gather.

No, he's enjoyed some very special dietary 'supplements' that have absolutely changed his physique in a way only Ben Johnson or Justin Gatlin could have imagined, which has helped him progress from bang average to slightly above average.

Looks like he belongs in the NFL. I’m not convinced he’d be a success here but he completely overpowered us yesterday. Poor Bernardo didn’t stand a chance.

Sounds like a load of bullshit to me.

 

[Tevez City]

Headless chicken.

As well as the most dangerous chicken that City faced when they played Wolves twice this season.


He is one of the best dribblers in the league, fast, strong, young and graduated from La Masia. Therefore I think he can be good addition to City.

And btw, I think he will end up at Spurs.

For years even before Pep this is a type of player we've struggled with. Oxlade-Chamberlain and Moussa Sissoko do the same sort of stuff to us, knock the ball down the sides of our midfield and bulldoze through safe in the knowledge we don't have much athleticism or big tacklers to stop it. The goal he scored was almost identical to Oxlade-Chamberlain's in the 4-3 at Anfield. Son is another who gets a lot of hype here but I think is pretty one dimensional, still terrorises us. When you watch them against more compact teams with defence-first type players at the back and in midfield they do very little.

Would be brilliant for us. But alas, the brilliant minds in this forum deem him unworthy...

 

[PannickAtTheDisco]

The Navas to their Neves, in good form though.

Yeah, like Kernaghan and Mendy, anyone can look good against City when we back peddle.

 

[RayCTID]

I remember the Bolasie rumours a few years back and look how his career went after leaving Palace.

That’s why you set up in a way to get these players space.

There is a reason Sane was dropped at the end of last season, he was effective in the exact scenario you are describing for Adama, but not as good as Bernardo against a low block. Doesn’t mean we don’t need this kind of player, losing Sane made our counter attacks weaker. Adama is a good replacement to that, not a lot of other options.

 

[Cellarite]

Served us well in the past...

First time I’ve ever seen that goal somehow. Thanks.

 

[ws01]

3 goals against us this season so far. Looks like a decent player with strenght and speed. Possible signing for us? I like his mentality going towards goal.

No.

NO. This guy has scored 3 out of his total of 4 goals against our weak defence.

 

[Dax777]

Sane leaves

And we are unable to get Sancho, Coman, Dembele, Lazano or Bruno Henrique, then sure I'd settle for Adama.

I know most don't like his end product. But he has that explosion and power you can't teach.

Pictures speak for themselves.

 

[Tugay One Cup]

Pictures speak for themselves.

Holy shit, you're right.

 

[SleepingBlueTiger]

Wolves would demand an astronomical fee, so this is a no-go for me.
Playing against City is the best game these speed reliant type players have all season as our defenders and defensive midfielders are seemingly incapable of tracking even the simplest of runs.

 

[quiet_riot]

Holy shit, you're right.

Good one. a 20 year transformation vs a 5 year transformation.

You've proved me so wrong there, well done mate, honestly, I'm absolutely shown up, what a mug I am.

Theres a seven year difference between those pictures and you're comparing a 16 year old to a full grown man. Do you think Schwarzenegger came out of the womb bench pressing the midwife?

And yeah, if you think a couple of photographs are proof of what you've simply decided is the truth then you are a total mug.

 

[quiet_riot]

Tell me why all footballers don't have such ridiculous, sprinter-esque physiques then, seeing as you're the expert?
