If he was playing for West Brom back then and not Liverpool do you think anyone would have made any fuss? And if he wasn't an England player people would have been raving even more about him IMO. Would love to keep Adama, but I just don't see it. A combination of someone else wanting him and him not wanting to play in the Championship will be enough to see him go. Hope I'm wrong.

brommy Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 It may depend on what contract offers Traore receives from other clubs and/or his determination to be (not necessarily playing) at a 'top flight' club. When Adama came to Villa, his contract benefited from being an unproven Barcelona player. Now he's a recently relegated unproven squad player from one of the worst teams in Premier League history. Unless there's a manager out there that wants to take a large punt just based on pace, Adama's Villa pay might not be matched. I wish him luck, hopefully at Villa.

mikeyp102 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Is he on Twitter? Any news or comments about him staying? Of all of last yrs signings he's the one I want to see play and succeed for us the most Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hopefully RDM agrees. I think it would be stupid to sell him unless we get silly money for him which isn't going to happen as he has shown he is really green at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maqroll Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 Yep, he's really raw, but potentially very productive, especially now in a lower division. He's an explosive athlete. I hope he stays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If RDM deems them worthy of staying, they'll stay. It's all up to the gaffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I just want to add another post in this thread in the hope that the more we say we want him to stay, will make him staying more likely. Adama, if you are reading this, please please please please stay, we are desperate to see you demolish SHA and Burton Albion single-handedly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butterfingers Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I love all these comments about him being "green" and "raw" His game is all about pace strength and direct attacking. It's as good as anything in the Premiership, let alone the Championship. His crossing isn't the best and I can't see that changing too much-It doesn't usually with this type of player. I really fail to see what people expect to change in order for him not to be "green" or "raw". As for his tracking back, do they think he has a quick read of the paper when the other side has the ball? I'm not quite sure what he's "green" or "raw" about? Tony Daley spent an entire career playing like that. He needs a run in the side, not 15 or 20 minutes here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyjavfc Posted June 30, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted June 30, 2016 Adama needs serious coaching if he's going to succeed here or anywhere else. He makes Daniel Sturridge look unselfish with the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For example he made a lot of bad decisions not passing the ball and tried to take on 3-4 players. Missing the pass as well. He looks a real prospect and I think it would be madness to sell. I agree with your last point though, he does need a run in the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to watch him play more closely then if you don't think there is anything green or raw about his play. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pas5898 Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 As has been said a few times, he has the potential to light up the championship like Adel tarrabt did a few years ago. 46 starts and a long season in the championship with players who will attempt to bully him could really make Adama and give him the experience he needs. Please keep him, please play him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 He just has a simple game - run up the side of the pitch, have a shot if he can, if not keep running then smash it across the box. Nothing wrong with that. Plus he's as fast as f*ck. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbop Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I'm dreaming of a world where Adama is on one wing, blitzing everyone so they have to double up on him, and a finger out his arse Grealish floating in off the left hand side finesse shotting into the top corner every game like it's Fifa 14.
