Both average but Traore is the better of the two.
Neither. But thanks for asking.
Mix of both until it's decided
Interesting to see how much Traore has improved.
A lot of people have written him off all ready, but for a youngster he has to be given a chance.
At only 21, he is consistantly improving. The spell at Portsmouth showed his attacking abilities, while his time at Juventus was spent improving his defensive attributes.
Not saying he is the answer to who should be our left back, but lets have a look at him in pre-season before writing him off completely.
A new LB or probably another 4th place finish or worse

Didn't realise the difference between the title and a relegation battle was a good left back!!
I say lets sell RvP, Cesc, Samir and a few others, and use all the money to buy the best left back in the world!
Come off it Gibbs is quality if injury prone, Traore can run fast but thats - add a football to the equation and he gets baffled!
osteojosh,
Harsh criticism of a player you probably last saw as an 19 year old.
Always did okay for Juventus on the few occasions I saw him play, and also showed good quality in an attacking role for Portsmouth a couple of years back.
Wouldn't write him off just yet, he is only 21!!!
Wenger has alledgedly stated Gibbs will be our first choice LB (haven't heard the quote direct from Mr Wenger though).
