My knowledge of world football has been shit for years but I can’t recall any professional player coming close to Traoré’s physique + pace combination.

Can anyone point me in the direction of someone even remotely similar? Never seen anything like it and I find his ability to retain speed whilst bulking up really fascinating.

Hulk had a similar-ish profile. Not as fast as or as proficient at dribbling like Adama but physically could match up and maybe over power Adama. He's the closest comparison I can think of.

It would be a fantastic signing, but seems like wishful thinking. Wolves would be mad to let an asset like that go so late in the window.

The only question you should be asking yourself if youre undecided on Traore is this...

If he been playing for us today against Watford, do you think we'd have beaten them by more than 1-0?

Its a resounding 'yes' from me. So I want him to sign for us.
He gets wolves up the pitch so fast it’s insane not to mention the space he will create.

I think he could be really special:)

Bit of itk, I showed this to my mrs saying I must admit i'd be excited to see him do this in a spurs shirt and she said she'd like to see him do it in no shirt. Make of that what you will.

Have you validated this piece of information with Rob?

We're at crunch time. Bottom line what would your maximum offer for him be? Assume we have the cash. What is the number beyond which you would say, Nah that's my limit, you keep him Wolves?

I'm gonna say 55m.

If we are still in for him, let’s hope we didn’t piss Wolves off too much with that opening offer, which was embarrassing. They’d have every reason to tell us to do one and not come back after that bid.

the main issue I have with him is that his assist and goals don't really tally up with the great positions he gets himself into.

I would love to have someone like him carrying the ball forward, but i think he needs to work on this final ball and finishing. i would take him thou, he will give us something different in attack. he really needs to learn to finish, cause i can see alot of balls that will be sent his way from Kane.

He’s basically a suped up Sissoko. Feel he has a similar technique, especially with close control (although better).

None of this is an insult btw. Can be very effective. I would be up for the gamble.

To be fair to him, if Wolves had someone who could finish he would have had 3 assists yesterday alone

Don’t see it happening at all now, what would be in it for Wolves? Selling one of your most important players without time to buy a replacement.

All of the things we were saying a week or two about Kane applies for Wolves in this scenario.

Didn't they already sign a replacement in Hwang Hee-Chan?

Totally. Need conviction on these deals. Too little too late now
