Adama Traore ~ To Sign New Contract ~ Or Loaned & Sold to Barcelona 2022?

[Mile End Wanderer]

Spurs will run out of patience with him at RWB this is going to be funny

 

[Sussex Wolf]

Any comment from @Cornwall Wolf ?

 

[waveney wolf]

It’s Traore.

Time will tell...but I'm thinking both

 

[DPE]

22.5 mil haha I must be worth 3mil then. Jesus that is a crazy price for such a player. Even if we invest it well, which we won’t it will make us weaker and a rival stronger. Also sends a message to the current squad.

Club getting a lot of criticism here from those who seem to know better. Traore wants to leave and won’t sign a new contract . His value in 18 months is zero as he can walk on a free…his value reduces as that date approaches.

what should the club do?

 

[wolvesjoe]

Clownish, amateur and irresponsible by Shi and fosun. Unless there is a big signing coming, this will end very badly.

Any comment from @Cornwall Wolf ?

Think its already been said .. he's gone for £20m + £2.75 add ons .. need to invest in CM .. my choice would be Dennis Zakari out of contract in Summer and would be reasonable cost .. but I havent heard any interest reported with the agents I know

 

[Fenrir_]

£30m right now I'd begrudgingly accept, knowing the value will decrease as his contract runs out. £22m half way through a season when we could end up challenging for Europe for a player who has often been our only threat and outlet is a total joke. I'd rather sell him in the summer for £15m than £22m now

Value depends on length of contract, age, ability and salary…you cannot base value on ability alone …but I expect you know that.

Agreed 100% CM needed, if I'm being greedy I would also like competition for Raul.

 

[reanswolf]

In this instance, I think people are being a bit hard on the club. He is not worth the highest wages, and he won't sign a new contract. Its one of those situations where we have to sell, he has 18 months left on his contract and £22m would be ok fee-wise IMO.

As long as it is spent on strengthening and not another centre back.

 

[Bawtry Wolf]

Is it traore who hasn't produced??? Or the coaches?????

To be honest it’s neither. He apparently works hard but remains inconsistent. He’s had a number of coaches who have improved other players but have not had the same impact on Traore. He’s a coaches vanity project, they see his natural talents and believe they can coach him to be a world beater. On every occasion they’ve been disappointed.

Exactly this.
We are not in pole position here, Traore won't sign and his value has been on the decline due to poor form and contract running down.

Hope we go out and get someone decent with the cash.

Thanks.

Compared to what we sold Doc and Jota for, it suggests to me we’re getting shut of a failed experiment rather than cashing in. Not sure it does much for Adama’s career if I’m honest, and that’s not sour grapes.

So....therefore..... If you were one of those coaches, been given that quite brilliant talent to coach,,,,wouldn't you say, as a coach,,you d failed???

 

[Halesowen wwfc]

5 sets of coaches he has now played under would suggest its probably the player

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Disagree

The wing backs for spurs are wingers. He will do well there and prove people wrong on here

 

[Blackpool Wolf]

I would keep until summer and then sell to highest bidder. Preferably one overseas.

 

[AndyWolves]

We've got an asset that's losing value every window, doesn't want to sign a new contract and only one party interested in buying him.

We aren't exactly in a position to be choosey.

Adama is going to go sooner or later, the more money we can get for him the better.

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

1/5th of the price of grealish. Unbelievable deal for spurs

 

[Supadavewolf]

Only spurs have shown any interest in him at all you don’t get to choose who you sell to it’s not like he has loads queuing up. We’re selling him to spurs because no one else will bid for him, no one wanted him in the summer either. We sell him to spurs now or in the summer for even less. He’ll double his wages he’s not going to stay here

This.

In other news Sanderson is going (on loan) to QPR. So we're back down to 3 CHs plus Dendoncker & Marcal with Saiss still in Africa. Maybe they'll move for another CH for cover ?

Good question. Waiting for answers.

Context is everything my friend.

Not really, as I would point to other players that I have improved. All the coaches will point to some improvements they have made to Adams’s game but also to the fact he remains inconsistent and has the football brain of a gnat. There are things with Adama that he hasn’t got that can’t be coached. He just hasn’t got that understanding of the game to perform effectively. If he had a yard less pace he’d be a championship/league 1 player as technically and game management wise he’s not that great.

 

[Supadavewolf]

Well then, every coach to date has failed.

 

[sedgwolf1980]

Forget the fee and the contract for a minute, I don’t get how people are saying Adama has been a flop here? Or at least in as many words.

No player, ever, has had me as excited when they get the ball as Adama. I don’t care what the stats say, he is unique and I’m gutted to see him go. Especially for such a paltry amount.

 

[Deleted member 8455jwf]

Ey? We didn’t let Ruben go

The club were willing to let him go but no one came in for him other than Arsenal tentatively, they were banking on selling him to buy big but the market didn't exist

Toti?

People were slating Jota when he left and now look at him. History is repeating itself on this thread. Some posters slating Adama are probably the same ones who would be hailing him if he signed a new contract at our club tonight.

Some people on here will never be critical of the club and that is fair enough but to me the club will deserve all the criticism they get if they sell Adama and dont bring in a Sanches style signing to replace him in the squad. The club need to look ambitious still and to my mind letting Adama leave with no decent investment when we are doing so well in the league would look dreadful to the players and to the head coach.

 

[Scallywolf]

Tottenham agree Traore fee?​

Football Insider is reporting Tottenham and Wolves have agreed a free of just under £23m for Spain winger Adama Traore.
The outlet states the offer includes £20m up front, with £2.75m in add-ons.

Reported on Sky Sports tonight.

I’m sad to see him leave for a paltry sum too, but if we can’t agree a contract extension, then I’m not sure the club has many other options bar accept the loss of £20m by keeping him for another 18 months. A couple of seasons ago it looked like we had finally seen Traore achieve his potential. But for whatever reason, that proved short lived, and here we are. I’m not happy, but I’m realistic. I’d rather take 20m+ and move on, than let this drag out for another 18 months and see him leave on a free.

 

[oldgolded]

Reading 'Fighting ****s' website, Spurs fans seem pleased to get him. Very uncomplimentary about Wolves and Wolves fans. Arrogant *******s.

 

[Lycaon]

Well, we’ll find out tomorrow if Adama’s been sold, usually in circumstances like this players tend to not make the team sheet!

However, if he’s on the bench and actually gets game time what an illustrious way to end to his Wolves career away to….Brentford!

Yeah but you're forgetting that Traore is ****.

 

[Ercall Wolves]

You don’t improve by selling Jota and Traore. That’s the long and short of it.

Spot on I’m afraid

 

[Bacon Sandwich]

Someone post a clip of Adama's assist for Donk vs WHU. The best assist I've seen for years and years...

Needs to be reinvested this month though mate and not on Trincao and Hwang who we can worry about in the summer. Seko Fofana is the lad we should go for in my opinion.

No chance he will be in the squad tomorrow in my opinion.

He really isnt.
