NiclasCFC 2,582 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 CHELSEA IN TRAORE APPROACH Staying at Stamford Bridge, and Chelsea have approached Middlesbrough over the availability of Adama Traore, according to Sky sources. The winger signed for Boro from Aston Villa on Deadline Day in August but has attracted the attention of Antonio Conte because of his lightening pace. Ohh god, please no.

Special Juan 28,141 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Lighting pace and that's it, absolute waste of time and money.

Would be scary as a wing back getting up and down the sideline. if the price is right I wouldnt mind him. maybe he can be a conte miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to stop taking Conte as some sort of god who will turn every average player into a world class player. And the irony about people championing for this signing is, they moan about us not giving our youngsters a chance but want us to sign young players from elsewhere.

CONTE IS A MIRACLE WORKER ahaha just kidding, im just trying to find the bright side and think from a positive perspective. I am not championing for it but his does have one world class skill you cant teach which is hot nasty bad ass speed. This surely wont happen and then we can continue to argue about Diegos replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea Legend 11 4,062 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 I love it! He is lightning quick and extremely powerful for 20yr old. Would help us break on the counter and also seems to possess work rate and the ability to press. His average on whoscored in games where he's played more than 50 mins is 7.43, that is exceptional for a 20 yr old. mccg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valdo 583 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 So youth barely gets a chance? And instead we chase after these players with the money we made from Oscar? He'd better deliver if these rumours are true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you guys here. He's a player who shows flashes of brilliance here and there but is nowhere near consistent enough for Chelsea yet. Unless Conte feels he can mould him into a star, this just seems like a huge gamble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 He has already played for two clubs this season so it's bullshit of the highest order. How SKY didn't check it? They are totally exposed on this one. Conte needs to get to know of certain Dujon Sterling from the Academy. Our search for Moses back up will then be over.

I've only seen signs that he does get the best out of his players. But you cant get silk from a pigs ear as 'they' say. And as far as buying ;youngsters' from elsewhere and maybe moan about some of ours then hell yeah - if they are better I'll take them from anywhere. But personally speaking generally I would rather pay up more for a more complete finisher product with experience at the job hes doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 2,717 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I'd take him for next season. You guys are acting as if he will never improve. Fact is, at his age he is already one of the best dribbles in the world. All that needs to be improved is end product, and when you have better options on your team available, that will come too. No, he hasn't played for Barca, Real, Juventus or any other top team. Doesn't mean he isn't a diamond in the rough. How do you think some of the top clubs get these young prospects that turn into wonders? They take a chance. This kid has enormous potential.
