Anyone got any info as to why he's been out for such a long time? He picked something up playing for Burkina Faso in October just when he got fit. I think DS actually said in one of his last press conferences he wasn't going to be back anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely can't wait to see Gerrards reaction the first time he does one. Gerrard was famous enough for dodgy back passes in his career. At least Bertie does it with style 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IrishVilla10 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 The forgotten man at the minute for me, some of his goals last season were great. Be interesting to see how he features when he’s back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Yes. Be brilliant to see him back doing those wonderfully placed taken early passes into the bottom corner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 The position behind the striker we now have two of, where previously we had none, will suit him so so well. Buendia and Bert will torment some poor bastards once they get into the same team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cliche " Like a new signing " couldn't be truer. When you realise some of the players we have out injured, our squad looks very interesting. If we can get both him and Bailey fit, firing and stronger, with improved work ethic, sky is the limit IMO. Traore can be a real gamechanger.

tezzaleed Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 back in training apparently then straight to afcon. He'll get injured again as he's only just returned. then we'll sell in Jan. I like him but if he goes to Afcon after only just returning to fitness I'd get rid. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Absolute lunacy to think about selling Traore, I believe he is our best attacking player. Watch his highlights from last season coupled with his stats: 36 appearances (some as substitute) 7 goals, 6 assists. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in the third case would I think we should get rid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
