villan-scott Posted September 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2020 Sounds like the chequebook is well and truly out! Not seen this guy play for years. If he adds pace and directness from the right and is left footed then will offer something we don’t have currently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t really fit the ‘great lad, good attitude, gives it everything’ type we know Deano is specifically looking for. Just can’t see this.

KenjiOgiwara Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) I really wonder if the club drops links like this and Wilson just as a way of influencing signings like Watkins and Rashica.

Tommo_b Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I’ll need to see the obligatory YouTube video before I decide if I want him to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted September 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2020 Weren't we looking at that Swedish fella at Bristol City? i.e. a pacy right winger - is this not just a case of super charging the right hand side of the pitch with Matty Cash (described by a BBC local reporter as Very attacking) - with Watkins, probably Rashica, and Grealish - surely an out and out fast bastard on the right is not a bad addition to that cocktail? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 So random it could have legs but wouldn't be surprised push the Milot deal through Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan-scott Posted September 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2020 I imagine this will be alongside Rashica not instead of. Traore is just 25 too so a good age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Do hope it isn't a Rashica or Traore kind of thing. Probably unlikely but it would be typical to crush our Rashica dreams like this after today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 We need options. This is all too exciting for me. More wine and more signings required! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think we're planning on playing Jack through the middle if we actually do get Rashica. I hope you're right, I don't want to voice what I'm starting to fear we might have planned for Jack! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Haven't seen him play in a while but from what I remember he's rapid and pretty skilful, can also play as a ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 I think this one will probably be instead of King rather than instead of Rashica, Traore and Rashica play on opposite wings, and Traore can also play as a centre-forward - has score 38 goals in 70 games playing there according to transfermarkt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonLax Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 (edited) He played up front as a No9 when he was on loan to Ajax and did pretty well. Apparently he has a buyback clause with Chelsea and 15% of the fee goes to them. He reminds me a bit of Kodja, athletic and with good feet. Can make a goal out of nothing but can be selfish with the ball apparently. Edited September 12, 2020 by LondonLax 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted September 12, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2020 Does anyone thing this is being made public to shake Werder up a bit and show we have another target? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 We won't be signing Rashica and Traore because Rob Dorsett said we don't have the money. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knutserov13 Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 If this is true we seem to be building a team full of willing runners. Cash, Watkins, Rashica and Traore all fast and will run all day. Add a really good CM and we are flying.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
