The kid looked good but his stats are pretty poor, considering the leagues he has played in. 6 Goals and 8 assists in all comps this season for an 18 year old (turned 19 at the end of the Ligue 1 Season) is a bloody good year for his first in a new league. Yeah you'd like to see someone rip it up but Traore wasn't and he did well with us last year.This lad is 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were quick to dismiss him, not even giving him 6 months to find his feet. I personally like Sanson, but it was pretty obvious a big step up for him. So I find people wanking over the football manager'esque signings Leicester have made pretty funny. Would not surprise me a bit if they flopped. I definitely wasn't slagging Sanson off, more pointing out the futility of fawning over the 'high-value' signings other clubs make and bemoaning our lack of activity in this area, whilst disregarding the times we have done it in the (very) recent past. I'm willing to bet there are plenty of supporters of clubs who finished above and below ours in the table last season, who don't understand why they seemingly didn't want a piece of Buendia either. I guess my point is that the grass isn't always greener. We should be grateful we have a club who based on all the evidence we have, know exactly what they want and will deliver on it. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good talent though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a good talent though. Will get some more money if they are forced to sell Camavinga if he refuses to sign a new contract. Could have gotten a whole lot more but guess they'll have to cash in or lose him for nothing next summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough if you don't rate or watch Ligue 1 I watched a fair bit of French football last season and Doku never really stood out. I can only say what I saw, like I say his stats aren’t all that. I don’t judge a player by stats though. He’s young and will improve but wouldn’t be spending 40/50m on him, like some have suggested.

I stand corrected, I’m not saying he’s not a good player but other than tonight when I’ve seen him, he’s not looked great. We won’t be signing him anyway so I’m not that bothered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should have have all over that!” 6 months ago. Possibly, great price. Shame he hasn't got going. Soumare for that little us borderline suspicious. Incredible deal. We spent more than that on Traore who we appear to be trying to replace in the XI already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PSG were trying to sign him in January, I think it’s almost as likely he’d turn us down than the other way around tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 2 hours ago, Delphinho123 said: That’s fine by me. He looks so dangerous. The speed. The ability to hold players off. The change of tempo. How quick he'd change the ball from one foot to another and drag it in another direction while the ball stays glued to his feet. I've never seen anything like it. Grealish and Adama Traore merged into a 19 year old kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have I never heard of him before? You have Traore with 13 goal involvements in 2300 mins with no pre season who you think is rubbish but you want to sign a kid after watching one game because he's fast besides the fact he signed 5 year deal with new club in October 2020.
