One of my favourite bits of our many holidays in France was reading L'Equipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted September 18, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 18, 2020 Traore probably has the easiest start compared to the other signings, folks aren't expecting a great deal - I think he'll quite quickly show us a level of quality we have not seen in that position for many years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the opposite. If you're expecting something, you'll give the players time to settle - if you think a signing will be shit and they don't do much in the first few games, they're deemed shit for their entire time at Villa. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll get a fair crack of the whip. As long as he scores in the first half he won’t be expected to complete his hat trick until we’re at least 30 minutes into the second. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 I know it won’t help Traore play Monday but didn’t we announce Luiz last year with a ‘pending work permit’ disclaimer? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too late, we only know about Traoré because Wilder was interested. Before that no one else had ever heard of the player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
