[Football] Adama Traore

[nickjhs]

Traore reminds me of a flash looking sports car, with shit suspension and worn out tyres.

 

[METALMICKY]

It's a no from from me. We don't need the extra expense of an ' oiling up ' assistant

 

[FatSuperman]

n, n, n, n

 

[Hugo Rune]

There’s only one Adama and it not the one trick pony, marinated in cooking oil and garnished with unfulfilled promise!

 

[jcdenton08]

No thanks, he's really not a Potter player. Could see him at Palace.

Traore's top recorded speed in the Premier League is 36.6 kmph. Interestingly, that's identical to our Tariq's too.

Pretty quick but last year Rudiger hit 36.7. in 2019 Soyuncu was the fastest in the division with 37.55. Kyle Walker's record is 37.79.

His top speed was recorded during an oil-enhanced slide, not when running.

£20 million buys you very quick, looks terrifying while often as not on the bench, it’s probably a no then

 

[crodonilson]

In the age of 5 subs I think he would be a superb option to bring off the bench against tiring defences.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Played RWB a few times for Wolves and also LW - Could Potter turn him into an accomplished wing back ?

I thought the same with Conte and his end product could be down to the players around him, he was equally as bad at Barca.

 

[Badger Boy]

Bursts down the wing
Outmuscles fullback
Bladders it into Row Q

Repeat

Talking of which, I wonder how LuaLua is getting on now.

 

[Stato]

As has been said, great at running at defenders, but his end product is generally lacking. He might win penalties, but then we'd need someone to score them. Our conversion rate last year was the lowest of all the teams who weren't relegated.

 

[Bold Seagull]

160 PL appearances. 8 goals. Right up our street. Where do we sign??

 

[Napper]

not yet reached his peak and is proven for a top half side.

If the money is low and he is good character to not mind the bench at times then I'd take a punt.

Game changer off the bench so he would have a use IMO

 

[Frankworthington]

One-trick pony

No thanks

 

[HastingsSeagull]

Wouldn’t pay anywhere close to 20M especially with wages he’d expect. That said disagree with quite how bad people seem to be saying he is. He’s able to play a few roles including as an attacking wingback and I reckon he’d do well under GP who’d also like him as an option and use him in a system to the best of his abilities.

Non-Starter though as will go somewhere for more money and fail to shine in a 4-4-2 or something.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Not for me, Clive.

 

[Codner pharmaceuticals]

File under the oh $hit he’s playing against us but actually I don’t want him on our team (see also Chris Wood, Tom Ince, Chris Martin etc) category

 

[Smillie's People]

I remember on NSC when he was rated as better than Wilf...

He was absolute BOX OFFICE in the third division when we were bumping around the noddy leagues. I was genuinely buzzing when we turned his loan into a permanent move.

He got found out in the Championship though. The odd decent game and some cracking goals (that 4-0 away at Charlton when he came off the bench at 3-0 was almost cruel). I have fond memories of the fella, but injuries and inconsistency did for him at the next level up.

With 5 subs coming, we should bring him back as a special teams player to be brought on if defending a single goal advantage in the last twenty. Relive all those times we cheered his trick of picking up on a loose clearance, putting the ball past a defender, falling over the challenge and winning us a free kick to take the pressure off.
