DeadlyDirk Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 Problem with him is, he's very raw... Sure, he has pace power and can dribble. His crossing is just him hitting the ball very hard towards the 6 yard line, and the basics, well, they're why he doesn't start games. He's awful at them. He will be a really good player, but he's not the messiah. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted January 1, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted January 1, 2016 There's too many things Adama is terrible at for now, but he might as well start. Nothing to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Having Traore is the equivalent of buying a very nice conservatory, whilst the house has subsidence and dry rot. A luxury signing when we needed some bread and butter signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexicon Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I wouldnt go that far - more like a conservatory kit that might be very nice when you've put it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheMightyVillans Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 i would much rather watch traore try to beat players and lose the ball now and then instead of watching sinclair run into dead ends, followed by him falling over and losing it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 If you are hoping to achieve the near impossible and win 10 games between now and the end of the season then you have to play Traore. All legends have to start somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the crux of it isn't it? The likes of Sinclair are doing **** all, and they don't even offer much defensive cover. Traore gives us something different, a lot more pace, power and directness, he also tries to cross the ball unlike most of our midfielders out wide. We're not going to stay up by starting the likes of Sinclair, Richardson et al. Traore might, just might, prove to be a revelation, and if not then (a) he will still be more of a threat than Sinclair and (b) he'll get game time and develop, benefiting us next season and beyond.

Brumstopdogs Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 (edited) For all the defensive cover other players have supposedly been providing we have had one clean sheet in the league since the Bournemouth game!

Like I say, by all means out him in the team - but he's as shit as the rest. Oh look, Adama created another one. But I'm sure other members of our team could have done that too right?

He was a hell of a lot less selfish today than he has been previously. Good to see him learning. Shame he's injured again though. Just when he was starting to be effective. Hopefully it wasn't serious. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCJonah Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Didn't see much difference to when he came on against palace, Watford or Norwich. Hoping it's not bad enough to keep him out because he should be started every game from now on 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
