Exactly that, despite the positives he will bring to the team, you back your manager, otherwise problems with those at the top start already.

Now we just need someone who can take set pieces to fully exploit that

Adama creates space, which indirectly creates chances. He's probably never going to be someone who racks up lots of goals and assists, but that's not the key thing with him. He's in the 98th percentile among wingers in successful dribbles that lead to a shot attempt. There's hardly anyone better in world football at progressing the ball up the pitch with it at his feet, dragging defenders all over the shop, and carving out the space that leads to shots.
It's very easy to take one glance at his assists last season and say he's useless, but if it were Kane and Son getting on the end of those shot-creating actions rather than Willian Jose and Fabio Silva, it'd be absolutely deadly. His production the season before when his dribbling was creating space for Jimenez and Jota attests to that.

Its OK he is unhappy in every post, its an epidemic of unhappiness.
So the coach is picking players now? I was under the impression Paratici was the driving force behind rebuilding the team

I think there is an obsession on "all" players needing to produce amazing stats but it wasn't that long ago since we had Modric completely bossing things for us getting low numbers of goals/assists every season. Same for Dembele and we would do anything to have him now. Sometimes you just need players to get the best out of what you have. Adama definitely falls into that territory.

Traore gets into our first eleven. We’re playing more counter attacking football and he is exactly the type of player we need.
It will naturally create more space for Son and others players.
Most importantly he is enjoyable to watch. Beating his man for fun. Who does that in our team?

No thanks in regards to Traore. If the guy could pick a pass or shoot and had just a smidge of good decision making he'd be already playing for Man City, Chelsea or Bayern.
Also not too pleased Sanchez might now be staying, I don't might Sanchez but he has to be one of the most inconsistent players I've ever seen. Looked like a different player against City, today his alter ego was playing as was panicky, out of position alot and in some cases a general headless chicken. He's definitely got the attributes to be a class centre back, he just can't seem to string 2 or 3 top performances together to save his life.
I can handle inconsistent attackers but we need some solidness defensively and Sanchez will never bring that. Sell him to Seville whilst there's strong interest.

Traore? Wolves would never loan him, if he goes it would be a pure sale.

Nah I don't buy that.
Ive seen enough of Wolves and Traore to know as much as he's always a handful there's no good him creating space and pulling defenders towards him when he can't play the right pass to make it worthwhile.
People will say what a "handful" he was today, he had more of the ball than anyone but did absolutely sod all with it. I was happy to let him have it. As i said before, if he was half decent at scoring or passing or just making the right decison half the time he'd already be playing City or Chelsea.. There's a reason he's still at wolves.
The one time I don't want you ITK to come off.
He'd cause more frustration than Bergwijn and Moura. No thanks from me.

Who do you want?
He is such an exciting player, but if Nuno couldn't get him consistent while at Wolves, I don't think he'll do it here.

Was mooted as a loan with option by Sky. You might be right but it was mentioned
Kane would still be jogging out of midfield.
