Traore is now a professional sub.
He has is an athlete who can be a distraction for the opposition at best. He is like a quicker Antonio but shorn of the goals and assists.

 

 

I dont actually mind him when I have seen him play, but that was a while ago. It's a bit worrying that he hasn't had a look in at Fulham and I'm not sure why?

Also for a player who came through the Barca academy I dont understand why his control and finishing is so poor (or is that just a myth?)

[threesixty]

Who actually talks like that Bro???

 

 

haha.. I see you dont get out of your care home much. np.

[El Scorchio]

Guido out. JWP redemption arc incoming. Raises that very real prospect we might see Soucek and JWP back on the field at the same time....which would undo so much of the promise out central midfield has developed in recent times.

Hoping and praying Nuno doesn't fall into that trap like others before him. 

Don’t worry. I think there’s no danger of JWP playing again. I just can’t see it. He’ll use Kante or others first. 

[El Scorchio]

Farewell Guido son.

Not half as bad as people made out.

I don't know what metric you're using but the stats suggest otherwise

Thanks for the late clearance against those cunts last week though, Guido

He’s using the metric of ‘shit bait’ like any poor fisherman.

Bowen limited time if a back up winger comes in?

It's hard to comprehend what goes through your mind regarding football. Fucking hell.

 

I love a good battle, but with you bro.. fuck me, you're on something else.
Just relax, its not that deep.

bro? It's not that deep? Hahaha

You wally.

Traore can sub anywhere across the front line

 

 

Ok, that makes more sense. As I've rarely seen Bowen get subbed for us.

360 He is a right winger, which will give us balance and more options up front

 

 

So if he starts where does Bowen play? If he comes on as sub where does Bowen move to if Tatty or Wilson is playing central?

Feels like limited time for Bowen if Traore comes in. Which is pretty unusual.
Unless Bowen can play no.10 or left wing (just haven't seen him do that).

Being claimed by that Spanish fella, Balague , that Guido has left the club and joined Valencia.

No doubt he will be a huge boost to Valencia in their battle against relegation...

[gpike]

Probably but not suited to English footie

I don’t know why but I read that in the Big Brother geordie voice.

Arf!

[ragingbull]

Flamengo have held with talks with West Ham over a proposed bid in the region of £35m + £5m in add ons for Lucas Paqueta. Sky Sports News understands the bid won't be enough to get the deal done

The thing is we won't get that money in the summer and he ain't gonna save us from relegation,i would happily take £20M, but if the above figures are right then Sullivan deserves relegation.

[Massive Attack]

I don’t know why but I read that in the Big Brother geordie voice.

I read it in David Moyes voice, the PTSD is still strong. 

[Justin P]

Its day 23 of transfer window and I see we havent got a defender yet

Its not vital or anything

No, defenders are overrated

I see we are linked with this Bobby Thomas geezer at Coventry...

I don't know much about him but his teammate Jack Rudoni would be the perfect replacement for Paqueta.

If I'm not mistaken he is head and shoulders above most of the championship in the same way Bowen was when we signed him.

Hayden Hackney at Boro would be ideal as well but as a club we've never been run that way.

Probably the same reason Charlie Cresswell doesn't fancy us in the current predicament..

All 3 look potential mustard

Trouble is, as it was put on YT yesterday, why on earth would a player from Cov or Boro join us now when if they stay they are probably guaranteed premier league football for a season, and they might be back in the championship quick smart if they move. Add to the fact that we'll get told to get fucked by the owners who aren't going to jeopardise their own promotion pushes. 

Agree all three would be excellent signings. The kind we should have made and probably could have made in the summer before this car crash of a season started.

You can be sure that Palace for example will probably have an eye on all 3 of them. A couple ending up there wouldn't be a huge surprise
