Oh Adama Traore!

[wolfslair]

Thought he looked more dangerous than Neto today. Wish we had played him a bit further forward.

Not even close……

Neto did lots of defensive work today and had a few good flashes. His role today showed a lot more discipline to defensive responsibilities.

Sorry but adama slowed our game down on one run that went to nothing he waited for the ball to almost stop rolling before he ran in which time the three out of position spurs players got back in position and stopped him. If he had taken the ball on the run which for a man of his speed is crazy he doesn’t do enough he would have been gone and we would have had a dangerous counter.

He also was less effective than hwang who was direct and actually hit far better and dangerous crosses into the box, but it isn’t cool to like hwang…….

 

[YouGottaRaulWithIt]

As per.

It always amazes me how people can see Traore play and have completely different views. For me, he added nothing. Slowed the ball, beat two or three and lost it or looped it harmlessly into the box.

But we have been seeing that for a long time now. He still has no end product, and he still hasn't signed a contract. He is not the answer to our problems. Neither is Hwang, and probably same for Jiminez.

We played well, some good football, but never threatened the goal. Need a proper no.9 now.

 

[geowolf]

I'd just play him through the middle. We need physicality...everything is so lightweight at the moment.

 

[Cookyssweetleftfoot]

And had 2/3 players on him everytime he got the ball.

No he didn’t - when 1 on 1 he just waits until an extra defender comes over.

For me the cameo today summed him up perfectly. Happy to dribble past 2 Spurs players from the edge of his own box and then run into trouble. Happy to take players on when hugging the touch line and put in an ok far post cross to be fair, but when Neves played a quick ball to him when central on the edge of the Spurs box where you want him to take the man on, he simply played the ball backward.
Neves visibly shrugged his shoulders.

 

[Agent Cooper]

It was standard Traore, overhit his crosses and slowed play down even more slowly than we were playing anyway, comparing him to Neto in this game is daft as well, Neto playing on his wrong side in some winger come wing back hybrid role that stifled him

Agreed. Neto had a thankless task keeping Perisic quiet. Think he did a good job but had to sacrifice some of his attacking threat. Traore would have never done that team role. Not fit to tie Neto's boot laces.

Neto’s end product was woeful today.

 

[Agent Cooper]

Neto’s end product was woeful today.

And Traore's was ...? Why didn't Lage play him in the Neto role. Faster and physically more imposing ... says it all

 

[Metal Wolf89]

Traores crossing was again poor..but he needs to change his game up, instead of crossing drive into the box...could potentially get us a penalty...

 

[Matt]

Neto’s end product has been woeful pretty much every game since he returned. He just runs into trouble and either loses the ball or smashes a shot into a defender.

 

[TheConcourse]

His body movement going at such pace really is exceptional. Offers us something completely different. Should start next game.

Mate, I agree with most of your posts, but Adama is absolutely done here.

We say he’s got 3/4 players on him, but he has zero intelligence or ability to then pick the pass. It’s pointless. He can’t be coached beyond running in straight lines.

The Jimenez flick at the end whilst he’s chilling on the halfway line summed up his time at Wolves.

With you all the way on this. Absolutely pointless.

That's just down to Adama being Adama Twice I noticed him just stood on the half way line behind the center halfs watching the game as Jonny had to run up the pitch and play as a winger.


Looks completely uninterested

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Offer him to clubs for free

Just need rid of the lazy **** now

Yeah, he's gone under the radar just how poor he's been tbh

It’s for him as well tbf. No point wasting a year of his career. Surely someone will pay a loan fee and cover salary.

Yeah agreed

He should be ashamed of himself for today though.

 

[Lou Pine]

I saw a number of our players stood still at various points of the game but Adama gets stick. Crazy.

At least it deflects the bile away from Hwang.

Traore played on his right side, in some winger come wingback hybrid role that stifled him.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Sell.

 

[VancouverWolf]

Sell.

To whom and will he go?

 

[BCWolf]

Cannot believe I am saying this BUT I would probably sell if they right bid came in and we had a replacement earmarked.

But then I would say the same for Podence and Raul as well.

Nooooooooo, not Podence? Our leading goal scorer?

Mate I would sell him in an instant! LOL

Traore definitely needs a move. Watched that video of players getting on the bus for Spurs and his body language was dreadful. The Barcelona experiment seems to have neutered the guy.

 

[Ironfistedmonk]

Traore played on his right side

Fixed it, he did nothing defensively, for balance I thought Podence was pretty **** and Hwang looked better than all of them in his little cameo

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Anyone willing to pay £10m, ideally. Preferably outside the PL too so as to not have to go over the ‘is he any good’ debate as often.

 

[wwbug]

Fair enough but let’s remember that he didn’t do anything wrong.

And we don’t know what advice he was given….good or bad.
All players try to maximize their income and want to play in the CL…perfectly normal if that was his aim.
We don’t know why he wouldn’t sign the contract Wolves offered him. ……We don’t know.
Was it a good and fair contract? …….We don’t know.
Did he ever say he wants to leave Wolves because he not happy with us?…..ever?

I do feel for the guy even if I want him off our payroll. But Wolves gave him 4 seasons to show his stuff……I don’t think we owe him anything more.
I genuinely wish him well and hope it all works out for him.

Like MGW - creates more on this board than on the pitch.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

Honestly could only come to two possible conclusions today.

Either he doesn't feel fully fit, or he just wants to avoid injury before he's sold. I think it's the latter to be honest, no interest in taking a man on. Loved him, but needs to go now doesn't suit the style anyway.

 

[Wolf316]

Yet the bloke who’s watched him train all week has picked him for the squad and bought him on today.

 

[Bill S Preston Esq.]

Imagine if we didn’t already have him, and it was just announced that we’d signed him. We’d be ecstatic. Needs a clean start with us. An exciting player.

We'd not be ecstatic. He'd be welcomed with the same kind of trepidation we saw with the Hwang signing.

We signed Hwang on the back of a poor season with RB Leipzig in the hope he could refind his form from when he played for Salzburg.

If we signed Traore now, it would be after some mediocre years, and hoping he could recreate his form from the one good year he had.

You mean the professionals at Wolves might know what they’re doing?

 

[wallace]

He wants to leave so let him go if we can get £10 million, maybe forest could help us out ?

 

[Ian C]

He just needs donating to a charity shop now, someone please go leave him outside somewhere of their choice on Monday. Wait until they’re open though, otherwise it’s fly tipping.

He‘s starting to embarrass himself, he’s not as good as he thinks he is and CLEARLY doesn‘t want to be at Wolves.

 

[Matt]

Hopefully we can get some money for him and bring someone in who wants to play for us. I don’t question his commitment when he’s on the pitch, personally, that’s just how Adama is. But if he wanted to be here he would’ve signed a new deal 2 years ago. Time for him to move on.

It was time for him to move on two years ago when he had an alleged worth of £100M, according to some, who were/are deluded.

I wonder if Wolves have been on the phone to Boro….?

 

[AndyWolves]

If Sarr is leaving Watford maybe we could offer Adama as a replacement

 

[Padraig]

Clearly doesn’t want to be here on today’s showing, barely any effort at all unless he had to because the ball had been passed to him. He shouldn’t really play again as it’s not fair on his team mates.

 

[Bostin]

People really love to hate this guy.

He put in more crosses in 15 minutes than Neto did all game.

Don’t understand the stick he gets.

Do you think you're amusing?

You're really not.
