Interesting to see what happens with Adama I think Barcelona don’t really want him.. So where does that leave him.
I said last year that if he doesn’t get his act together, he might end up in the Championahip. His options seem to be dwindling.Interesting to see what happens with Adama I think Barcelona don’t really want him.. So where does that leave him.
No, I'll settle for running with the ball. No other Wolves player can do it, and I like a bit of excitement. Football isn't chess.He just isn't a particularly good player and in the modern game a player has to do far far more than be exciting when running with the ball
I agree with your points however, you say play the right System for him, he played at Barca, world class team mates better passers, movers and finishers and he still failed to produce. Far weaker league too.Because all of our other wingers have such glowing statistics (they don't)
I remember endless opposition players referencing how they'd hate to play against them. How they're pretty much unplayable 1 vs 1. (they didn't)
Oh no wait, that was only ever Adama.
Play the right system where we get more than 1 bloke in the ****ing box and he'll be a huge asset. Let him go for 10-20m and we'll regret it.
I agree he is frustrating but this is probably why we don't create many chances . As not many players in our team run with the ball . We do have a tip tap style of play that's slow at times . Traore if he had a decent cross and shot wouldn't be here now .He just isn't a particularly good player and in the modern game a player has to do far far more than be exciting when running with the ball
Those first three games of the season were so exciting and Adama was electric.No, I'll settle for running with the ball. No other Wolves player can do it, and I like a bit of excitement. Football isn't chess.
Problem was the missed opportunities after he’d been put clean through on goal.Those first three games of the season were so exciting and Adama was electric.

Totally agree, the opposition would always be looking at where he was and mindful of what he can do. One of our main problems and I hate to say it, is that our build up play is beyond pedestrian like and our lack of ability to even shift the ball quickly, let alone run with it is poor at best.But, the evidence was that opposition sides could not afford to leave him a 1v1 opportunity and he often kept at least two players occupied.
I felt sure we didn't exploit that situation enough. Whereas oppositions could deal with the regulation players we had left, no problem.
I think he was worth 20minutes in any game whilst admitting his all-round contribution was lacking.
Fixed it for you.Those first three games of the season were so exciting and Adama was wasteful.
How about?Fixed it for you.
He'll always be exciting. Unfortunately he'll always be wasteful. I'd be happy with a less exciting, less wasteful player in his place.How about?
Those first three games of the season were so exciting and Adama was electric until he was in front of goal and was wasteful
Ok……what I meant was, and presumed it was understood, that Adama would play more consistently like we’ve seen him do in the past, when he rose above himself……was magic…….Doesn't get his act together?... by all reports he is an utter professional.
I'll take what you say with a very big pinch of salt.
yes from February we saw how well that wentHe'll always be exciting. Unfortunately he'll always be wasteful. I'd be happy with a less exciting, less wasteful player in his place.
He went to Barca…. And bombed…..I agree he is frustrating but this is probably why we don't create many chances . As not many players in our team run with the ball . We do have a tip tap style of play that's slow at times . Traore if he had a decent cross and shot wouldn't be here now .

He isn’t good enough technically or production wise to be a focal point or system focused player.
Many a mixer has postulated about Traore being far better when he runs through the middle. Out wide he can get channelled but when he does into a position to get the ball into the penalty box there are all too often only one or two isolated Wolves players to pick out.If he was better technically do you think he'd ever be playing for Wolves considering his other attributes? The bloke would be worth 100m.
This is what I don't get. We're a mid table side. We don't have the luxury to be able to turn our nose up at a player who offers such a unique threat to the opposition. Take his assist vs West Ham last year. There are very few players in world football who can do that from where he picks the ball up.
We all love Moutinho, but we know his weaknesses. No one says, oh yeh, he can pass but he's a bit slow isn't he? It's as if unless Adama is the most complete player in history then he isn't worth bothering with.

You could hear it in the groans early on against Crystal palace...as each of our front 3 tried to take it on and lost it time and time again. Neto was injured so he had an excuse but the others Podence and hwang didn't beat a man all game.Amen brother, my thoughts exactly. The man is dynamite, it's mad people doubt that. And he also entertains, something missing at the Mol since he left. And didn't our form fall off a cliff once he went to Barca?
Coutinho went to Barca and bombed…Ibrahimovic, Fabregas, Griezmann…He went to Barca…. And bombed…..
They play far more attacking and quality football.
He is with wolves and only clubs of our standard or lower will take him after yet another failure to perform in another club. He needs to realise wolves is the best he is going to do and just sign on the dotted line for a reasonable salary expectation not the insane one it is well reported he was after.
Not just that. His lack of awareness , his lack of vision , his lack of football brain has meant hes underachieved in his career so far. Great shame because he has fantastic skill and speed.Problem was the missed opportunities after he’d been put clean through on goal.
myth, i have seen him play many through balls on the ground to players running into space in front of him, also win the ball in midfield and lay it off. Total and utter myth the awareness and vision thing. Lack of football brain? do me a favour you don't play at the level he is at just on physical attributes otherwise these football skills youtubers wouldn't be on youtube they'd be playing.Not just that.

I wouldn’t necessarily say he hasn’t got a football brain but his skill and speed are world class yet his decision making is Championship. And his shooting abilities…Crikey O’Reilly!!!myth, i have seen him play many through balls on the ground to players running into space in front of him, also win the ball in midfield and lay it off.
