I have never seen anyone who could just brush off Sandro so effortlessly as Traore. Stronger physically than Drogba and Balotelli combined. Unsure about his footballing abilities though.
Traore is a bit of a freak, basically. He's so big you think he would be awkward and clumsy on the ball, but he's got a surprisingly decent first touch that has really improved over the past season or so. He's only 23, so it's understandable that he continues to figure out how to use his body to better himself as a player. I think in a couple years time he could be very, very good.
I'd love to see what he could do in the EPL. His style of play could work just about anywhere, but I think he would really thrive as a target man in the EPL. Capable of hold up play, playing on the counter or functioning as a target man, he's got a lot of ability and different things he can do to beat you.
