when we signed Bryan who has similar strength and another winger isn't a must.
Not so sure about the stregnth matching Traore.

Maybe Gill is scrappy then and traore Scooby doo?Not so sure about the stregnth matching Traore.
Still not seeing this signing and hoping that we put the funds elsewhere, so I'd be hoping that if it drags on for more than tomorrow without looking probable that we pass on it and put the cash towards someone else. None of us want to see us end up in a protracted transfer at this point in the window because it's clear that it'll be holding up other potential deals if that ends up being the case, and it's clearly not as simple as we'd have hoped.
He is amazing at his one dimension, but it really only seems to be the one dimension, and I would love us to sign players with better baked in creativity than someone who I see as an amazing role player, but for more money than such a player warrants. A lot of that money has to be loaded into the fact we think he'll learn to eventually have a better end product, but it's one that Nuno couldn't find in him at Wolves, and that he's been criticised for his entire career. I just don't find brute forcing your way around people exciting in general, personally, and would far rather watch players with innate skilful creativity in passing. That was always my issue with Sissoko. Watching Bryan yesterday was a joy. I think that's what we should be aiming for more of.
Rather Adama than nobody, so if we do quickly close this then great, but ideally rather someone with more immediate end product than Adama if poss.
I think you will learn a lot more from defending against players with great vision, movement and passing like Bryan Gil. Everybody knows after a couple of training sessions what Traore is trying to do.Practising defending against Traore in training every day will make all our defenders a lot better. Another reason why he’d be a great signing.
Great post. He is incredibly one dimensional. He’s an r2 button. That’s what I’ve been sad about regarding our interest. It’s basically like signing a very expensive super sub. He does create chaos but has zero vision, guile, intelligence, passing, creativity, teamwork, technique striking teh ball, first touch and plays with his head down, 100% of the time. There’s a reason his numbers are absolutely appalling.
He does have tremendous upside as a runner but I don’t know. He does the same thing every single time and he doesn’t understand or feel the game so yiu don’t see him making any intelligent runs… just drop deep, wait, gimme the ball so I can run at them. He’s kind of like throwing popping candy in a meal. I don’t see a footballer. 20 percent of one. The weird thing is it’s 20 percent of an incredible one but it’s still 20 percent and I think people get dazzled by that. His game is so focused on running blindly with the ball that he actually kind of holds up and looks like he’s having to concentrate really hard or enter a different mode whenever he has to do something else like shoot or pass.
i feel the same as you and it’s why I like Damsgaard who has everything.
Edit: i don’t care about ratings. My fellows are accustomed to the misplaced ire of our contemporaries u_u But LOL at being so threatened by a differing opinion that you need to hit spam as a superlative of disagree.
Knowing what Traore will do and having the strength or technique to actually deal with it are two very different things.I think you will learn a lot more from defending against players with great vision, movement and passing like Bryan Gil.

That's fair enough, but he is pretty unique and one-dimensional, you will 'learn' that a very strong and extremely pacey player can beat you on pace and there isn't a whole lot you can do about it, but I think you will learn a lot more useful stuff from defending against clever footballers with great vision, good dribbling and passing like Bryan.Knowing what Traore will do and having the strength or technique to actually deal with it are two very different things.
I mean, every defender in the league already knows what he will do yet he is still one of the best players in the league at beating defenders..
Is this back on at all or now dead. Desperate for us to push this through.
Of course, I am not going to argue that knowing how to deal with clever players isn't just as important, but playmakers like that are dime and a dozen and playing against them is nothing special, happens pretty much every game where you meet quality opposition.That's fair enough, but he is pretty unique and one-dimensional, you will 'learn' that a very strong and extremely pacey player can beat you on pace and there isn't a whole lot you can do about it, but I think you will learn a lot more from defending against clever footballers with great vision, good dribbling and passing.
don't understand coveting a playing who'e never played in EPL but rubbishing one who has absolutely terrorised every PL team he's played against, bar none. At this rate we may as well want every player NOT proven in the EPL! Of course, I've no doubt if Damsgard fails, then we will say he made it in a foreign league that's no good. I'd be having Adama 10/10 over Damsgaard (even as a 1 trick pony!)Great post. He is incredibly one dimensional. He’s an r2 button. That’s what I’ve been sad about regarding our interest.

Presumably there are reasons (in addition to the stats) why nobody in the top 6 or 7 clubs have been desperate to sign him.
