LinoJo3 3,191 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I genuinely think Traore would turn villa down to come here if both teams wanted him. Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Spot on. Boro turned down what Cardiff offered. Madine and cash. Pulis just wanted him gone, and was willing to accept Madine as part of the deal. Unreal No but you see its all TP's fault as Assombalonga is a sound guy. Certain people on this forum can't possibly be wrong!!! Link to post Share on other sites
Denzel Zanzibar 6,972 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 I genuinely think Traore would turn villa down to come here if both teams wanted him. Me too, at least I'd hope so. From what I've been told he really wants to come back and misses it here. Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 If we got him back and VLP back to fitness I really would fancy our chances of going up this year assuming we had both in the 11. If by the end of the window we had Traore and Van La Parra as our only incoming I would be pretty content with this window. Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,064 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Traore definitely homesick.. Link to post Share on other sites

northern boro 449 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 @SkySports_Keith A few people have asked about John Obi Mikel and Middlesbrough. Believe he was in fact present Boro’s training ground meeting Tony Pulis last week, but no deal is in place as it stands. Link to post Share on other sites

Borodane 6,301 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Traore would already be in a Boro shirt if the Wolves deal for Shoya Nakijama hadn't fallen through. Traore loan deal was agreed in December and pulled once Wolves deal fell through. We have been promised we have first option to sign if they get a replacement. Traore asked for the deal as he doesn't want to be a bit part player especially after his impressive season last season. I believe we will see an update on this middle of next week I really hope we have learned from past mistakes and won’t wait until the last day only to see our only deal fall through. We should be working on other deals as it is at not let ourselves be at the mercy of wolves. Link to post Share on other sites

Lurker 2,118 Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Pay as you play deal? No idea, just know he’s there. Can’t see why he’d be back up unless there’s an agreement Link to post Share on other sites

Why would he come back up? So he's on a 2nd visit to Rockliffe wow, Jon Obi Mikel would definitely restructure the midfield whether people rate him or not the question will be will Pulis just jam him into his system like he did with Saville or will he recognise Mikel's quality as a sit deep low energy ball player and stick 2 CMs with more energy in front of him.
