Just a shame as feel the Boro aren't going to be repaid for the crucial part in his development. 12 minutes ago, macapes said: So obvious that Villa sold him on for a tenth of that.

Give over. If it was obvious, others would have been in for him, Barca wouldn't have released him - or would have bought him back - and we wouldn't have had him for so little, relatively. £18m was a pipe dream when we signed the headless chicken.

Give Pears a run until end of season and then reassess. Pears has done well in terms of clean sheets but not really been tested yet but deserves the jersey until May at least. Happy with loan signings thus far plus hopefully Clarke but if we can add 1 or 2 permanent this window that be good. Plenty of positions will need filling in summer so if we can fill 1 or 2 in Jan that be welcome. Link to post Share on other sites
Duvel 2,446 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I'll be honest I didn't ever see Traore becoming the player he is now. I thought he'd end playing in something like the Turkish 3rd division. Link to post Share on other sites
Foogle 2,078 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 To be fair with Traore we couldn't really do much about his release clause. Although I'm not sure if we actually wanted to keep him or we were glad for the money considering the financial issues the last couple of seasons. Link to post Share on other sites

Since the moment he came on against Tottenham and run passed their whole defence I knew he was special. Just required alot of training that Pulis provided. Villa didn't want to put this level of long term 1 too 1 coaching into him as just wanted short term promotion that nearly payed off with Adomar. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

This. He was the very definition of a rough diamond, all the physical gifts any footballer could ask for and dribbling that is only matched by the best players in the world. It was always a case of when he got it all together not if for me. 5 Link to post Share on other sites
