Traore's goal last week was a very composed finish. I think given the correct environment he will showcase that he's better than people give him credit for.
Completely agree.

The only thing is why isn't he starting more regularly for Wolves or why hasn't he started regularly for them pretty much ever the last 3 years?

I know he had lots of shoulder dislocation issues but once they were resolved and also this season he's never been the preferred option and also why haven't Nuno or Bruno tried him at RWB.

Either way I trust Conte 100% but seems strange that he's never really been tried there only as a winger.

I suppose the frustration has always been his consistency. The game against City a couple of years he was unplayable but those games are the exception to the norm. As you say, if Conte wants him then I'll back him all the way. He must see something there he can work with.

I think Nuno did try him at RWB, when Doc was injured. I don't know for how many games though.

Yea agree Winks corners have been completely fine and so they should be professional footballing midfielder should be able to regularly hit a good whipped corner. Dier if he was regularly on free kicks could mabye do better than Kane but he's had a fair few goes and is never particularly threatening even if he is at least an improvement on Kane taking them but yea if we had a JWP taking them with the volume that we get he'd be getting us a good 5-6 extra direct goals a season I think and more goals in-direct from tasty deliveries.

Traore will win tons of free-kicks, we need to make the most of them.
I'm more confident with Eric taking free kicks than Harry.

I may be drunk but I'm incredibly excited about this. Don't know how it'll work out but he's the most fun player. I'll enjoy our games 20% more

Just been looking at the wolves forum and it does make me smile.
Half of them are angry he would even considor coming to a rival… and half are saying they don’t want him anyway, deadwood, no end product etc.

I hope we get him and see how he does as our new RWB
That sounds like us when one of our players is on the move. ?

dont want either of them taking free kicks tbh, both have had there fair share and never delivered, would like to see lucas take more, the ones he has taken have been decent
I'd rather Dier than Kane, but that's kinda like saying I'd rather have crabs than chlamydia!

I didn't swear at you and give it the biggun, just had a dig at you for negging loads of posts. It was supposed to be a jovial dig.

It's not my fault you're negative and argumentative
Mate, you shouldnt give a fuck about ratings whatsoever. Otherwise just dont post

I don't care about my ratings, just when I notice someone going on a neg run, for posts that I don't think deserve it, I'll tend to say something whether they're my posts or not.
Too many people hide behind the ratings system and never explain themselves.

That's so cute that their supporters think that they're our rivals.

We will undoubtedly have lots of him running into blind alleys etc, just like Moura. The difference is that Traore will be in a position where he has more space and he will run at the fullback again, and again, and again! And he'll beat him. Teams will be forced to change shape to deal with him. Whether it means pushing a cm over to help, or centre back, or forcing their winger to stay back.

He won't always create anything himself, we know this already, he's no de Bruyne! But what he absolutely will do is open up space for others. He has never played under such a surgically precise manager as conte who will absolute have a plan to develop and use his talents to maximum affect.

At £20 million, a 25 year old, prem proven winger with a unique set of skills is about as much of a no brainer as you will ever get!

He just becomes another tool for Conte to use. There is literally no way he doesn't improve our squad!

Totally agree. Traore may have his flaws but there's no way he doesn't improve our options.
Could be a massively exciting signing.
