jim Posted August 12, 2022 Share Posted August 12, 2022 I like Traore but do we overate him on here? If his only option is Turkey you have to ask the question why, surely other teams have scoured him? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is paying what we did when he played about 5 games last season so season long loan is best bet. Guess a few teams from Holland and France would come in but his salary here is probably an issue. I think they'll be more interest in him as deadline approaches so he might aswell sit tight for a few more weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Apparently medical booked today and off to Turkey for season long loan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partially yes, but 7 goals and 6 assists in 2020/21 were very good numbers (and IIRC he wasn't exactly a nailed on starter for the whole season). I think the unique talent of our club to sap all of the value out of our players so that we are unable to move them on has also been a factor here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Silly transfer. Not what we needed at the time. Ill-suited for PL football. Overpaid by about £10m and put him on a contract we'll be contributing towards until we release him whenever it ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad JV - I have followed Villa for many,many years and I can say with any doubt, he is one of the most gifted players we have had. inconsistent of course, mercurial, talented, mesmerising, absolute pleasure all rolled into one. I will never forget what he did to De Bruyne or the goal at the baggies - I have always wanted to be entertained and Bertie can certainly do this. Imagine Bertie with James Milners approach ? very disappointed Gerrard can’t see his value in the match day squad 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not what Gerrard seemingly wants but he did fine in 20/21 especially over the winter period when he finally had a run of starts so he's a long way from some of the deals we've done since promotion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Dogg Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 I don't know why we are letting him go. Even with 5 subs, we are going to become so predictable, X replaces Y every game or vice versa. Traore is a wildcard which would be great to have as a option. Now, if he wants to play week in week out that's a different story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
