FYI Traore has 33 goals and 17 assists in 84 minutes worth of games for Lyon. How much more should he have produced? 1 goal in 23 games last season. Which is the most relevant season. A player clearly on the decline. Jesse Lingard was a half decent player 3-4 years ago. Doesn't mean we should be in for him. Who we should be in for are players like Watkins and Benrahma. Players who's been delivering the goods in recent times. The former has already been done, great. Let's not stop there.

The man is coming into his prime, he only just turned 25, I can only assume things just aren't working for him at Lyon for whatever reason. Also Lingard is 28 this year anyway, so by your math we should be getting ourselves a cracker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's when it costs the team games and you knew the play fail, but still go for it even though you knew failure was in the air, thats the kind of selfish attitude I do not like. By all means if you see a goal and are going to score sure have at it, tell your team mate to F off that was yours because you were a 1000% sure the move was going to pull off. I'd rather have that than see Trez miscontrol half the balls he gets, and watch El Ghazi miss more chances from 4 yards out. He's an upgrade. Upgrades are what we want. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of players have their better years in the early twenties. This seem to be the case for this guy. I don't know what has stopped his progress. Whether it is a lack of passion for the game. Bad attitude. Off the field issues. What i can tell is i'd take Benrahma. Every day of the week. Edited September 14, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So your response is flawed unfortunately. You literally asked "If he was this good player why did Chelsea sell him" You got a direct response and examples of other players Chelsea have sold and have now moved the goalposts? My logic comes from your own post. Wtf? Edited September 14, 2020 by JAMAICAN-VILLAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had enough of Trez breaking attacks down last season for this bloke to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 I have got no problems with Trez. He works incredibly hard for the team. Has a great attitude. And an eye for a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
