Traore

Mrssi like apparantely......so father xmas told me!

sorry 8 in 63 but still!

^Messi

I've read that he's very highly rated at La Masia, never seen him play though.

But what is the fecking point? Our squad is huge and it's not like we're short of AMs and wingers is it?
Assuming we play 4-2-3-1, We've got Firmino, Coutinho, Lallana, Ibe, and Markovic competing for 3 spots, with Milner, Origi, and Teixera capable of playing there as well. If we go for a diamond when Studge is back, or 4-3-3 with an extra body at CDM, there's only 2 spaces.

He's 19, another young experienced player with potential, needs to be playing games regularly to develop. Not gonna go straight into the first 11 so won't get that.

We've got plenty of talented youth team players - Ryan Kent and Ojo for example have impressed. Give them minutes rather than pìsss money away like we did on Alberto, Manquillo, and Ilori (although I hope Ilori is given a chance), and use that for priority positions like a first choice 'keeper

It's a good point actually. Is there any reason in all of these cheap signings that we'll likely never see play regularly? Our academy is proving to be more fruitful than these unproven gambles. I think we'll see Markovic drop way down the pecking order. But I can't think of anyone else (who Traore would compete with) who would drop down the pecking order.

We are doing what Chelsea do which is to fill up the squad and then send a load out on loan and make money on loan fees.

Doesn't seem to have harmed Chelsea too much, so am fine with it.

Very, very talented player.

Exceptionally quick, strong, skillful, and direct - although perhaps lacking a bit in terms of end product.

Quite similar to Ibe in that respect though, which makes me wonder where he would fit in since they both play the same position (unless one of them switches to the left).

Is Djimi coming back?!
