Interesting stuff. If, as some say, we’d still get £15m for Adama in the summer, is a good Cup run (and league place) worth the £3m?Our best chance of winning a trophy is the FA Cup. Traore is a man who the opposition are most scared of and he can absolutely turn a game on its head. This is why Spurs want him. To add another dimension to their play. Given we are competing with them to finish as high as we can, then why would we weaken ourselves and strengthen a competitor? It makes no sense to do so regardless of money.
Adama has 18 months left. A long time in football. Keep him until the Summer. Give the cup our best shot and then see where we finish. Qualify for Europe and all of a sudden, Adama has a dilemma. He's not going to get much game time with any of the top 6 in England and frankly, I'm mystified why Barca would want him other than as a squad player.
Adama has a habit of leaving clubs for more money and it looks like he / his agent want to milk another move. They can, but in 6 to 18 mths time. Not now and most certainly not at the derisory figure Spurs have supposedly bid.
