MaVilla Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 seems to me that we are looking for more mobility and break ability in the team. Cash & Watkins are very mobile, fairly quick etc, seems like we have recognised a big weakness we had last season in our inability to break quickly. Looking at some Traore vids, he looks fairly skillful, mobile and pretty rapid, but he also seems to have issues with final balls and running in to dead ends, from the few vids i have watched it looks like he would be quite infuriating, mixed with a little excitement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is another alternative on the width that we don’t have. For the fee being mentioned, he won’t be a starter unless he works his way into the starting line up. If he's against Trez/El Ghazi for a place he will be straight in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve drawn the very same conclusions based on what I’ve seen. Very much in the Adama Traore, Saint-Maximin mould in that they can’t work themselves into fantastic positions without really creating big chances or scoring goals consistently. I always start to worry when “highlight videos” include missed opportunities and skilful pieces of dribbling that end in a misplaced pass or being tackled.

Horrible. 7 goals and 3 assists in 34 the previous season. This guy seems a downgrade on what we already have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, I guess we might be in for both? Rashica on the left Watkins in the middle Traore on the right? F**k yeah! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 First video that came up on Youtube was called "10 minutes of Bertrand Traore breaking ankles" I'm too squeamish for that sort of stuff to be honest . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 A left footed, quick player to play on the right is pretty much all we are missing assuming we sign Rashica and Martinez so I can see the attraction. Can't say I've watched much of him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrenchVillaLova Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 A good friend of mine is an OL fan - he’s been going on for months about how crap he is and can’t wait for him to be sold. I hope this one doesn’t go through. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eholm Posted September 12, 2020 Share Posted September 12, 2020 Obviously doubts about his end product but he has great pace, direct and will stretch teams. People had the same doubts about Saint- Maximin when Newcastle signed him ....I’d take him now. With good coaching Traore may improve and develop.
