Would have liked to see how BT could do being free from injuries and getting into form again… will always have fond memories of him from the lockdown season… Underrated and over criticised. Way too good for the Turkish league. Oh and F off Gerrard. Nothing he is doing is encouraging me. I am very concerned. Every decision is questionable if not ridiculous. Me too - absolutely loved watching him play - I have been watching Villa for many, many years and I can’t recall a more mercurial player. When at it and I’ll be the first to admit his inconsistency, he is just a pleasure to watch. That goal at the baggies was something else. I’d pay to watch him training ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As many have said he lacked consistency, often from one minute to another. Best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you took all the moments where he looks like he's never seen a ball before and the injuries out of his game he'd be one of the best players in the world. Unfortunately you can't. Leaves with no ill will though, he did some fabulous things in a Villa shirt. Thanks for you efforts and good luck. How is this still a thing? Featured in 36 league games in 2020-21. Got injured when Deano was still in charge and barely featured after that for SG, who clearly doesn't rate him Edited August 10, 2022 by a-k 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season was a write off due to injury. I don’t blame him. He was a complete entertainer when he got to play, for me he was excellent in lockdown season and improved us as a side. Superb technical quality. Feel he gets a lot of unwarranted criticism. But oh well, looks like he’s being moved on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVByrne Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 A 1 year loan deal is pretty bad business for us unless the loan fee is around £3m and they cover his wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaParkAvenue Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 He wouldn’t play a minute under SG so a loan is at least better than paying him to train with the kids. Wonderful player (in small portions) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well yes of course there’s been reasons why he’s been inconsistent, no doubt injuries haven’t helped him at all. People are often too quick to criticise and often criticise without knowing the I’ll facts. Which none of us rarely have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Very sad to see the back of Traore, I really liked him as a player. Pure entertainment, just sadly not enough. I’m surprised no other clubs have shown interest, he’s a level above the Turkish league. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummybloke Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Frustrating as he is, he's that one sub you want on the bench to try something crazy. Yep, he can be total garbage at times and refuses to use the overlap for anything other than ignoring and cutting inside but in a tight game with 15 left to go, putting him on, he can make a difference. Hopefully a loan fee plus wages paid for this one. I expect 3 more to leave before the window closes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i expected us not to sell either at a loss. But both for me is poor. Trez scored some important goals that i wont argue but he was a flop just like traore has been. Add that to 22m wesley 10m samatta it all adds up thats close to 60m wasted Edited August 10, 2022 by Demitri_C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Really this is another failure from the club to extract any real value from a player who is definitely premier league quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is weird, Trez, El Ghazi and Traore are good enough for a position at a low level Premier League team. Surprised no-one wanted to buy any any of the three for say £5m.

Tom13 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 6 hours ago, CVByrne said: He has a book value of about £8mil left. So taking a small loss in that probably ok as we save on wages Can't remember how you work this out but surely a 14 goal contribution PL season since joining should have put his current value a bit above £8m.
