Trickster Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 1 hour ago, dont_do_it_doug. said: The reverse is also mildly frustrating to me. For example, see Rashica. Bloke hasn't kicked a ball for the club, yet the expectation placed on his shoulders is of such a high standard that the likelihood of him meeting it is incredibly small. Thus, he is almost bound to fail. Maybe he is more of a 'sure thing' than Traore, quite honestly I do not know. But in both cases it would be far more prudent to adopt a wait and see approach. Tone it down a bit, either way. Oh it can absolutely work both ways, but imo it's more unfair in a negative way. Positivity is what we all crave to be able to say about Villa, well most anyway :P, so I can see why some go over the top in that regard. Like I said, neutral is best way to go, with either reservations or expectations attached as suited. But writing players off isn't a direct comparison to ott expectations imo. The negativity also brings more of the dire 'I told you so' stuff during the season too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Grealish, Villa lacked goal threat from the flanks – but Traore changes all that. Offering the ability to play on either side of midfield or attack, or even up front, the African star boasts enormous pace, skill and power. He can score goals, he can create goals and make something out of nothing. At less than £20million signing, he is ideal. Gabby and The Boot Room rate him so I couldn't care less what you, as an actual scout thinks!

Traore, 25, has fallen down the pecking order at Lyon with manager Rudi Garcia boasting the likes of Memphis Depay, Maxwel Cornet and Moussa Dembele in the final third. He has remained an unused substitute in first two Ligue 1 matches this term. Sky Sports have claimed that the Burkina Faso international is on his way to Aston Villa and will undergo a medical soon – after the Midlands side agreed a fee of £17million and £2million in add-ons. He has entered the final two years of Lyon deal. Asked on Twitter about the reportedly imminent signing of former Chelsea star Traore, Agbonlahor initially stated that he is delighted with the work Villa have done in the transfer window – and has backed the signing of the 52-time international. Gabby and The Boot Room rate him so I couldn't care less what you, as an actual scout thinks! Gabby's a good scout.

villan-scott Posted September 14, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2020 I have finally succumbed and watched a YT video of him. Looks quick, direct and skilful. Looks to carry the ball well, and looks dangerous coming inside on his left foot. He adds a new dimension to our attack which we all complained about last season. Lets give him a chance eh?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alreadyexists Posted September 14, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2020 (edited) Just an interesting point on his 23 appearances for Lyon last year (which many are touting as his worst season and a sign he will be poor) he only played 1251 mins, so an average of 54 mins a game... so it’s almost like playing the first half of 23 or 24 games, and I think it’s very hard to make an impact if you’re constantly in and out of a side. Like others though, I know nothing about him, I’m always excited to sign a new player though!!
