So what, scoring 1 goal doesn't excuse the fact that he wasn't good enough. That's like saying Defoe had an excellent season because he scored 15 goals and ignoring the fact that he went walkabout and couldn't hit a barn door in the last 3 vital months of last season.

Yes I am supporter but it doesn't mean I have to worship inadequate players.

As for Traore, he's been playing against poorer opposition than what he would face in the premiership. He's not what we need ... a strong target man or a pacey understudy is what we need, not a bean-pole.
I really hate that statement as nearly every striker joining the prem gets that thrown at them.
Suarez, RVN, RVP, all came from the Erdevise, a much weaker league but none of them were to shabby.
Lukaku. Benteke all of them.

The difference being that Suarez, RVN, RVP were all exceptionally talented.

Lukaku was one of the most sort after youngsters and Benteke came in under the radar and had an excellent 1 season but can't be classed as a £20m plus striker until he's been equally successful for 2-3 seasons.
