They have a nice Barca contigent there now so imagine he would have no issues settling in the group. Probably let people like Ireland and Crouch go, Arrnautovic only has 1 year left on his deal so if he has a good euros they'll be interest in him I'm sure which is why he's probably holding off re-signing. Think there's space in their 18 for him. Remember this is a club that's taken Ireland and Given off us in recent times when we all thought they'd be little interest in them.

Johnnyp Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Could easily see him ghosting past Charlie Daniels today, on pace alone. Could also see another scenario where Daniels gets a lot of joy down the left because when we don't have the ball, Traore won't want to know.

DCJonah Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 With our points total and goal difference we should be picking attacking players on what they offer going forward. A joke that this guy hasn't had a proper opportunity in a team this bad. From the press conference yesterday it seems doubtful that black will start him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 This player proves the point that there is more than one aspect to being a pro footballer. His blistering pace makes Gabby look like a snail....but hey we all know, that alone is not enough. This player is an epitome of where we have found ourselves as a football club. I can't wait for the return to nomality.....hopefully by people who know what they are doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say 'Adama is the epitome of a one-trick pony and that he is in the squad is emblematic of where we have found ourselves as a club.' I disagree with all of that sentiment, by the way. 1 hour ago, DCJonah said: With our points total and goal difference we should be picking attacking players on what they offer going forward.

Maybe he should have seen more under Sherwood, but he made just as many poor attacking decisions as mind blowingly brilliant ones back then. I do want him to play for the rest of the season now, though. Edited April 9, 2016 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardes negative approach was seen in his reluctance to give Adama a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, I disagree " an " can be used ....... but is this desperate or what? secondly ,I would be worried if you did agree.....I would have to proof read it. ps In Future shall I e-mail you and you can re-write it all for me?

rodders0223 Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 Clearly not as good as the experienced Scott Sinclair. Safety first, we have a PL status to protect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 It would be nice to see him start a match. Now that he, Grealish, Ayew and Gil are fit I'd like to see them start together at least once just to see what crazy shit they might get up to.

HanoiVillan Posted April 9, 2016 Share Posted April 9, 2016 I just don't think he's that good. We all want him to be, because we're desperate for some sort of light in the darkness. But he couldn't even craft a goal against 9 men of West Brom's U21 team the other day. That really is pretty damning. Before anybody starts, yes of course I'd like to keep him. But he seems massively over-rated on here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
