Adama Traore

[hammersmithlad]

If anyone caught the Wolves vs Everton game last week sums up Traore as a player fairly well.

Far too inconsistent & raw at such a relatively footballing mature age.

He came on as late substitute and first couple of balls to feet went flying off his boots & lost possession far too easily. Next series of play he beats full back for pace and puts in a delightful low driven cross which wasn't converted by the Wolves striker. A further goal scoring opportunity arrives from Wolves via a fast paced counter with Jota leaving the goalkeeper stranded by crossing to Traore with an empty net to aim for and some how he misses it by driving it hard & high onto the crossbar. Final series of play Traore picks up the ball in the centre circle and bulldozes himself past 3 Everton defenders before eventually committing a foul by losing the ball and trying to win it back.

Definitely a wild card player, but I think Pep normally prefers individuals who are more complete & at least can pass the ball far more frequently & accurately.

headless chicken springs to mind.

It’s a no from me,scored a couple of goals against us doesn’t make him a transfer target in my eyes ..

 

[Phil1]

Is this still a thing?

Is this still a thing?

How much does that knob Castles have to do with this recurring link?

 

[mancityscot]

not at all suited to our style of play

 

[RayCTID]

No. Average at best.

He is going to Liverpool, City have enough wingers, just paper talk.

Adama Traore is bang average and, were it not for our feeble defence having been outwitted by him last season, he wouldnt be getting linked.

Nowhere near our level at any price.

the Liverpool who couldn’t afford Werner and seemingly Thiago?

I disagree.

He isn’t bang average at all. No one in world football has what he has. But, he isn’t perfect. Rarely plays 90mins over and over. Does have injuries especially his shoulder and his end product still does need to get better if you want to play for a City or Liverpool.

But he definitely isn’t bang average.

He's an impact player.

He would certainly win some games for any team.

We could use him, Liverpool could use him, Bayern Munich could use him, but he'd spend most of his time, warming up, watching the game.

Start him & 9 times out of 10, you'd be taking him off.

Tbf, he doesn't reach bang average in half the games he plays.

His agent trying to drum up interest.

No thanks
Only seem he play well against us

 

[BringBackSwales]

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.

Was just about to mention John Macken but see someone already has. Also Fat Bob Taylor

 

[Kokonut1307]

Not convinced with his end product, which we desperately need.

Theo Walcott on steroids but with even less of a footballing brain and half the ability
