Guardian reckons that our players told Jose to go and sign Traore after the Wolves match.

Weren't at least 3 of our yellow cards because of tactical fouling to stop him from getting away?

If he has indeed added an end product to his insane pace and strength, then he could really be a weapon.

Traore's problem has always been end product, his build up play, strength, pace and trickery have always been good enough but the end product was never there.

He came through the Barcelona academy, had a quiet time with Villa and slowly started to come into his own with Middlesborough. He may just be coming of age now, and if he can improve his finishing and crossing ability there could still be a finished product in him.

If he could add a couple of goals and assists, then he would be better than Zaha imo.

Did you see his goal against us? That was some decent "end product"! I'd enjoy seeing a front 3 of Son, Kane and Traore giving opposition defenders nightmares, not that I want to write Moura off bearing in mind he scored a phenomenal goal himself in the same game. Anyway, back on topic, I'm sure Mourinho would have been impressed with Traore

The issue with Traore is that one week he looks like a world beater and the next a championship player at best. On his day he is fantastic but that day does not come every week.

Traore is the very definition of a motd-player. I'm far from convinced that he has what it takes to make it with us.

We don't have the money required to buy anyone from Wolves, but Traore is quality. Anyone who thinks he's still the same kick, rush and blast the ball into the stands player hasn't watched him much this season.

Decision making as well as end of product. Why pass it to the man free to the left when I can try and beat 4 men. He used to do that a hell of lot.

I feel this opinion is getting old a little, this season he's improving his consistency and is affecting matches a lot more.
