He's quicker than Gabby - http://www.thesportster.com/soccer/top-15-fastest-100m-times-ran-by-footballers/ I wouldn't be surprised if he were to top that list. I've never seen a footballer take off like he can, the only word for it is explosive. He can control the ball too, which is an incredible feat at that speed. Whether he has the stamina or the very top speed I don't know, but as I said it wouldn't surprise me. that link says Micah Richards can do it in 11 seconds, takes him about 11 minutes to get back 30 yards 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 Jeez, he's huge! I hope he's put his injures behind him. Could be a real wild card this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fight Like Lions Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 RDM confirmed the only injury doubt he currently has is Nathan Baker. If Adama doesn't make the squad against Rotherham or Huddersfield then the writing is surely on the wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 He's got an awful lot of match fitness to make up. Will be at least 2 weeks from even making the bench simply because of lack of pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you are saying but with the results of the last 2 games and the lack of quality currently available to RDM I would have thought it was a no brainer to name him in the squad and unleash him for a 10 minute cameo if the situation allows.

sexbelowsound Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 He really needs to start playing now so we can find out what he is. I hope he comes on and whips a couple of crosses in that go off Rudy's arse and in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'm starting to think this guy is one we can add to the list that includes Ivo Stas and Bosko Balaban Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I'd be so happy if he was on the bench tomorrow. He's the type of player that we need in there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 8pints Posted August 12, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) Yeah, I think we've been really unlucky not to have seen him feature. When I look at something like this I think it's exactly what we need; something direct and exciting, taking the game to the opposition. It doesn't matter who you're playing for, playing against or where you're playing...this is something special and scary to play against. I can imagine the panic it'd strike in to most defender's mentalities "Here he comes! He's going for it! ****! ****! Get him! Stop him!" Too often teams relax against us as we pass it sideways, yes Adama is selfish but I think we need that at this point and if they're watching him it means more space for our other players. My fingers are still crossed we'll see plenty of this in a Villa shirt. Have a few more... Edited August 12, 2016 by 8pints Do or do not. There is no try. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to RDM in his press conference this morning, our only injury concern for tomorrow is Nathan Baker. So does that mean its fair to assume Traore is fit? If so, i think the squad selections in the next week or two will be telling. If he isn't injured, and if he is in RDM's plans, we will surely see him included in the not to distant future.
