sne Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) This is one name I'm not keen on at all. Especially not if he's a wide option and not for that kind of money. But who knows, he might excel in a team who is defending deep and counters. Edited September 13, 2020 by sne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way Traore is worth 6X that! It’s a very strange link. 20 million should be getting you quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels like there's a bit of a strategy going on with our owners - strike up a deal with someone who you don't really want to force the issue with someone you do want - but saying that, we'll probably go and sign him now.

sne Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Top comment from one of the youtube highlight videos "Lyon fan don't get foul by the video bertrand traore is horrible^^ he is so bad every fan of lyon wants him out. He just do one thing all game cut in on his left foot thinking he is robben. He succed one dribble on 20 and i'm not exagerate. He has terrible finishing, shamefull right foot and wrost of it he is so nonchalant, he despepears of games after 20 minutes he makes me so mad last year."

Either that or our scouts have seen something the fans can’t and he is in fact the Burkinabe Messi. (Yes I had to google that).

He is successful 1 dribble in 2 not 1 in 20 so I think he does 'exagerate'.... Edited September 13, 2020 by MJ_1874 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sulberto21 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 From what I've heard his attitude stinks and he isn't as good as he thinks he is. That makes it strange when you consider the environment Dean Smith wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 21 goals over the last 3 years is not bad for a winger. With grealish and rashica, he won't be expected to be our creative everything in the final 3rd. I'm fairly excited about it. Sounds like he needs a new challenge. Was he at Chelsea with Terry? That could help him, someone who demands respect working with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Alan Nixon broke this story, did he? The bullshitting little bollix. I would be very skeptical that there's any truth in this. Then again, is Traore that bad? Seems rapid (we need pace) and his record is pretty decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 This wouldn't be a bad signing if he was cheap around 10 Mill but for the prices mentioned its no from me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Can we please not sign this guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KenjiOgiwara Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Just can't see this happening. I'm sure we are after pace and wingers, but I think anyone we buy will be quality above Trez and AEG and this guy doesn't quite tick the boxes. Secondly, the price. Who are dumb enough to pay £ 16 million a year after signing for £ 8 and flopping. It's either a ploy by us to use in other dealings or agent talk.

Villarocker Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Wow! A lot of negativity towards Traore. I've not seen any footage of him so can't judge but surely he cannot be that bad? I mean, not this bad? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotoMkali Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 Raphinha from rennes is 3 years younger and a better player. I think we would be able to get him for the 25 million quoted for traore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyjsg Posted September 13, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 13, 2020 Wow rapid, I mean could be a good player to change a game, in that it offers a different problem to the opposition - think we would get frustrated by the amount of times he gives the ball away though....
