Adama Traore

Right, no doubt this will go down like a lead balloon…

But, he does have a quick burst of pace and strength added to his direct style of play. Qualities we don’t have in abundance.

Granted his stock has dropped in the last 2 years but when he was at his best, it was when he was beating his full backs and chipping delicate crosses in to the back post to Jimenez.

Jimenez gets his injury, Adama form drops and then he’s off to Barca.

We now actually have a big strong striker who would love to put headers in at the back post.

He’d be cheap, wouldn’t expect regular starts. Can be an impact sub putting crosses into Haaland if plan A, B or C didn’t work.

Id take him for £18m and see if Pep can salvage his career.
 
Nope. Barely made an impact during his loan spell at Barcelona and isn't any better than what we currently have
 
Not for me this lad. Quick but that’s it. I don’t think he would be a good fit at all, & I am usually a happy clapper and a FOC of course.

The alarm bell for a guy like Traore (at least with me) is the fact that a guy with his incredible dribbling ability and burst of pace has not yet made it big. There has to be something fundamentally wrong with him.

Because his dribbling ability really is special.
 
In that case he has one role.. sub in and create havoc in the last 15 minutes if nothing else works. He´ll never get proper game time though. Not good enough in da head.

If he had a footballing brain, he’d be world class. In his best season, he completed 184 dribbles. One of the most physically gifted footballers ever.
 
If we are going for anyone out of wolves it should be Ailt Nouri at lb or Pedro Neto. No one else. And even at that both would be short term deals.
 
So I know for a fact, when this lad was at middlesborough, and he played us in the cup at home, he was being looked at. Essentially for all the bursts of pace and skills, his recovery afterwards was deemed not good enough. There's no actual substance to his game either after that. His numbers are Jesus Navas esque. The only bit of ITK info I've ever had.
 
Why Traore when on the market are players like Gnabry, Danjuma, Diaby, and even Zaha who are simply better? Of course, we have to look for a winger, but not for Adama, my God...

That guy has rare skills in terms of dribbling, and pace, that's for sure, but too difficult in terms of tactics to work with him. IMO not an option, we have to be on the market in terms of more clinical wingers
 
The only possible justification for going anywhere near this massively inconsistent lunatic is if we buy him for peanuts, pay him peanuts and he is limited to cup games and around 10 games off the bench if we are desperate for something different or 4 goals up in a Champions League week!
