powell91 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 In order to get the best out of this guy we need to play proper counter attacking football unfortunatly as a team we are no where near enough disciplined for it to work. Chelsea showed his limitations the other day and handled him with ease he looks like he isn't a crosser of the ball so playing gestede in the middle with him on the wing is counter productive. I'd love to see him work on running the byline with someone like ayew in the middle trying to slot them in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure that in bold is entirely true.He comes from the Barca academy and they play anything but counter attack football although this is of course a different league.I agree with the rest thou as I've wrote earlier in the thread he's not used to crossing to a target man and won't get the best out of him nor Gestede.Just like you say I'd like us to play with Ayew up top and Adama/Gil/Grealish behind playing with pace and passing it on the ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 stats on flashscore say he made 2 passes in 22 minutes vs Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Telegraph reporting his wage will go up to about £75k per week when he makes a set number of appearances this season.Hopefully under a new manager we'll start to get some benefit for this huge outlay - he certainly looks to have the talent.

Nabby Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Well clearly in that case we can pay the going rate for wages again so thats a plus .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Or he'll get the Curtis Davies treatment and be sidelined when he nears the amount of appearances to activate the wage increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 Amazing money if it's true... Hasn't shown anything yet to be worth that, obviously needs more games to prove his worth but still vast money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 If he keeps running past people with the ball for fun I couldn't really care how much he earns tbh. Stephen Ireland and Nzogbia on the other hand........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernova26 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 In the games before he got injured he was outrageous so it doesn't really surprise me. It's obviously got something. Recent cameos have been disappointing. I hope he starts tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanO Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 75k, well now we know why he joined us if that's true...thanks for letting us know Tim.He's an exciting player but he's not done anything to suggest he's worth those wages to us, as pleased as I am to have him at VP in our position that's a lot of money that could have been used to bring in a good forward which we are missing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 How the hell are we going to afford those wages in the championship? Absolutely crazy and stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 It doesn't sound that bad a deal to me, depending on how many matches it is of course. If it's say 30, them you'd think he'd have had played close to his potential which I think is huge, plus stayed fit, and he'd be one of our best players. I doubt we'd be in the bottom 3 either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Amazing that this controversial contract has leaked soon after Sherwood is sacked. Truly amazing.Im sure it was reported before the Swansea game. On the way to villa park my brother told me that if Adama meets certain criteria this season he becomes our highest paid player. And I know he's not ITK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 How the hell are we going to afford those wages in the championship? Absolutely crazy and stupidIt'll just replace Zog's wage when he finally leaves at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SikhInTrinity Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 How the hell are we going to afford those wages in the championship? Absolutely crazy and stupidEvery player signed since Fox has been here has signed a contract that includes reduction in wages should we drop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa89 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Like all of our new players it will be nice to see how this guy performs when he is playing under a manager as apposed to a complete fraud. The new man might actually be able to set the team up to use Traore's undoubted talent rather than just pulling names for the teamsheet out of a mystery box.
