Adama Traore

I can see exactly how he'd fit into a Conte system.
Kinda like Victor Moses on acid.
And yes, Moses played almost 30 games a season under Conte at Chelsea.
Traore would push the opposition back when we have the ball. Tempt them to double. Generally cause confusion and affect shape, thus creating space.
His end product is pretty average at best - but we have fantastic players at reading the game in attack and using space that becomes available.

He could be a real weapon.
 
Yeah, the sort that backfires.

He's a chaos engine, unsettles the opposition (kills their rhythm), pushes them back, makes space for others. Generally just one of those players no one looks forward to playing against.

At £10M-£15M, he's just a squad player and worth the gamble. At the numbers we were quoted last year, no.
 
How can you not want this transfer? Cheap, already a cult pantomime figure, unique skill set, just a sub, and if 2 men - Conte and Paratici - want him, surely we want them to have this extra 'tool' too :) No doubt he's flawed, but if he was technically brilliant he'd be 100m. I wanted to see what Poch could do with him as a teenager, now, I be interested to see if Conte can deploy and pull out the ability. No guarantees, and he'll always be mecurial, but it would be interesting at the least, right?

Just push Romero up to RW for the last 10 minutes if we want that effect.

Literally no one blinked an eyelid when he signed for Hull the other day (before realising he has a namesake).

If we signed him, he'd be back at Middlesborough - with us paying most of his wages - by next summer.
 
For me, the question is will he have more of a positive impact than Gil - as 6th choice forward - this season? If you believe the answer is yes - as I do - then we should sign him.

For me, the question is does Conte want him? If yes, we sign him and if not he can jog on.

Conte, whose absolute watchword is 'control'? He's even on Kulusevski's case at the moment for being too unpredictable.

Traore is probably Conte's absolute antithesis of what he looks for in a player - no engine, no discipline and inefficient with the ball
