No, presumably you're ignoring that and instead focussing on the injury-hit season he had with us, and then the opinion of some shitty charlatan of a manager who made pretty much only the wrong decision every time he had a decision to make, and who also didn't want to play with players who play in Traore's position. 'Overwhelming evidence' my arse! Don’t bring your arse into this… (insert Kenneth Gif here). Look, I don’t think he was excellent in his debut season. I thought he was very average and somebody we needed to improve upon. Probably why the club went out and spent 70m on two players who played in his position so it’s quite possible they agreed. If he comes back here and smashes it, then, and only then, will we talk about your arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club buying Buendia and Bailey and leaving nobody to play on the left wing, so much so that we started the season with El Ghazi playing there is only evidence of what a shitshow we made of our transfers that summer. What a mess that was. As it happens, Bertie was injured a lot, so having one more player on the right wing was a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible transfer window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it’s kind of a myth or very much overblown, he is overly and unfairly criticised imo. Remember when we played Man U, he scored a cracking goal that went right into the top corner. Later ran back and dispossessed Pogba on the edge of the area before he took a shot on… He was class for us back then and he’s going to really help out for the rest of the season at least… don’t know why anyone would be against him being involved and especially when it’s an area of need… he makes us more of an attacking threat and gives us depth. Won’t have to do too much defending in the position(s) he would be playing in either. I’m glad there is someone here who can push Bailey and also cover for Ollie if needed.. Again, he’s going to be better under Emery… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More fool me if he does. I think anyone expecting him to do this is setting themselves up for a big disappointment. From my point of view, he just needs to be better than Bailey when Bailey has one of his off games and score the odd goal here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More fool me if he does. In fact, I’d say El Ghazi would be better in this system than he would. He might be one that could surprise a few under Emery (not that he’s coming back). El Ghazi had technique, but such a weak mentality. Every time he had a run of starts, he bottled it. He used to panic and hide. Traore doesn't panic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People are too fascinated with the numbers and are forgetting the numerous poor performances. Even El Ghazi scored 10 that season. He has a strange cult following.

When one is struggling, chuck in the other. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Unai is convinced, that's all I need to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted February 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) Unai seems quite positive on him. The fact that he also " pushed " to come back suggests he also feels he has more to offer and wants to have a crack at it with Unai. Will be interesting to see how this pans out!

Listen, the guy was actually sporting a prime Prince William-esque bald patch and was using that mane to cover it up. 6 months in Turkey.... miraculously he has shaved it off to show a "full head of hair"...
