People need to start being excited by Traore if thats the one we get - he'll be an extremely explosive and difficult headache for the opposition late in a game. He can be a real game changer for us in difficult moments of a match when we are requiring a spark.
Did nothing when he came on for Wolves against us though.
This game changer narrative is a myth 90% of the time.

James more like. Can't see Wolves accepting a loan, seems like that's all we can do atm. Seems the same for Carrasco too, offering loans with options or swap deals.
I think it'll be Traore, no longer starts for Wolves and didn't feature for them at the weekend.

Hes not currently coached by a coach that will make him one, like ours. The signs are clear as day. Just needs some direction.
We’ll have to agree to disagree mate, he’s an absolute fraud imo.

if we sign him I’ll be delighted to be proved wrong but I won’t be. ?

You could put that down to just coming back from injury, or not looking to get injured when a transfer might happen.
We all know first hand what he's capable of in regards to causing chaos, not doing that in one game against us doesn't change that fact.
The great Jan Vertonghen said he was the most difficult opponent he's ever played against.

He wasn’t starting most of the time before he had his dream move to Barcelona and we all know how that panned out and now he’s not starting again.

Conte instantly swapped out the fullback on his side and surrounded him with three defenders every time he got on the ball. So in that sense his presence alone did change how we were setting up tactically.

Fair enough mate, if that’s your interpretation of a game changer that improves our squad then so be it. ??

No, my impression of Adama as a game changer comes from him running us ragged on a number of occasions such that Jan Vertonghen identified him as a the single most difficult player he’d ever had to defend throughout his entire career.

My point above was merely that even where he doesn’t put in a top performance he affects the match from a tactical perspective. Imagine if opposing managers felt that Emerson Royal were sufficiently threatening to command three defenders marshaling him. Do you not suppose that Kane, Son, and Kulu would benefit from that?

I was at the game and there was a collective ‘fuck sake here we go’ noise everytime he received the ball from those around me lol. He also made really one good box to box ball carry.

Never ceases to amaze me how quick this place is to just accept something as gospel. So Okeefe and Gold have said its not happening? Ok, but three of our itk’s have heard different.

People need to chill.

Unless I've missed something, who has commented other than Trix? And even Trix said he wasn't even sure Carrasco was still being looked at.
