So . . . I hear he's fast?

 

his performance yesterday, his best yet in a boro shirt according to the media

played like a certain big club is interested in him

I might be thinking of someone else, but I thought he was a bit of a Shaun Wright-Phillips? All pace and nothing else.

I think he is alot more simillar to Moses, both uses their upper body strength, pace and dribbling in their 1vs1. SWP didn't have upper body strength, a gust of wind could knock him over. 

Adama has done almost the same amount of successful takeons as Hazard, but he has done it with half the gametime. I think he could be very good addition, if he can use his strength like Moses in defensive situations, improve his positioning and learn when to make a simple pass.

Was about to post this, impressive performance.

Would love this signing to happen. Been great this season. Just needs to improve his decision making at times, comes with age though.

Well we hope, you would have to be blind not to see his potential. I just get the feeling with this guy will always have a hot and cold end product.

He looks like he could be a good RWB, but we got Moses there. If we are not going to use Aina there, then Adama would be a great choice I think.

Next season with a possibility of more games we need two good options on both wingback positions. I just don't see anything special about Aina and I think Conte would choose Ivanovic and Azpilicueta  ahead of him, if Moses is not playing. Hopefully we buy Sidibe (Monaco) and Adama in the summer, two lightning fast wingback options to compete with Alonso and Moses.

I would prefer Traore playing behind Costa than playing RWB.

Sport, they're a Catalan newspaper

This wouldn't be a bad shout, with Contes man micro management skills, he could be awesome...

I really really like the idea of signing Traore, if I was a manager I would love to work with a player like that, 21 years old the 2nd best dribbler in the PL imo, fast and strong, there is so much to work with and develop.

It really is a low risk signing with the potential of a high reward.

Basically this

A waste of time, he's basically an even worse version of Sterling. Loads of pace, but his actual football ability is woeful.

31 appearances, zero goals, one assist and plays like sh*t. Even Middlesbrough fans think he is crap. One of our youth players would do better than Adama Traore.

Take away his pace and he would struggle at league 2 level.

No. The guy has all the physical and mental traits of a bull.

He might seem like a tidy dribbler but he runs into blind alleys, has sh*te decision making while being a Barca youth reject. We should avoid players with zero footballing IQ.

So very much like Moses then. With some work he might do an even better job at RWB.

Moses is a much smarter player than Traore. We don't have time to "work" on players like this. We need quality right now. Hopefully this is a nonsense rumour.

Actually, imo, he's better off converted to a box-to-box CM playing in a 3 with a sitting deep lying playmaker and another mobile CM that can playmake/join attacks. Guys with his traits should not do complex things, if anything he should play like Gueye and Kante then you'll see how good he can really be. I'm not convinced that he can play out wide

 

He can be better than Matic if someone teaches him positioning. He's more of a very poor man's Pogba  or a poor man's Kante

Great, just what we need to fight for the PL and CL then...

People do realise he will likely be loaned out? 

Then what

the

f**k

is the point?

We';ve got enough players out on loan.

How many people do you want the loan army to have? If we continue with this upward trajectory we might as well Buy Vitesse and ship every youth player we have there.
