For £20 million you’d be stupid not to. The guy Emerson who plays for you reminds me of Antonio Valencia circa 2013 where he can’t complete a cross to save his life. Traore’s stats aren’t great but he is one of the best in the PL at getting to the bye line and putting an accurate cross in which I’d Imagine Kane would convert more of than Jimenez.

Yeah. Adama Traore is the magic bullet to all our problems

For me Traore can be our big game player.
————
He will be 26 soon, has he ever shown the qualities of being a big game player? Aside from a purple patch 18 months ago he’s been pretty average his whole career and gets more attention than players with similar stats because he’s built like a brick sheitehouse and covers himself in baby oil. I’d take a punt on him for £20m but I wouldn’t do so expecting him to somehow be a game changer - he’d basically be an upgrade on Bergwijn. I’d much rather have St Maximan from Newcastle who is a similar player to Traore but with end product.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You’d never get St Max though as he’s a made man at the richest club in the world. Perhaps Conte can make a better player of Traore. You need someone to help you get up the pitch quicker in the big games. He can do that.
18 stone headless chicken.
Comes pre-basted too.
Adama Traore and accurate cross?
Agreed - he's not the answer
We have far more urgent positions in the team to upgrade before thinking about a player like Traore. Starting with a top class CM, followed by a RWB, CB and CF
He went through a phase about 18 months ago, just after the restart when his crossing was great and he was putting everything on a plate for Raul. Then at the start of the following season he’s lost that crossing ability. It was baffling.
I’d take him for £20m though and bin off Bergwijn who is pants.

That was probably the season I watched him 😂
we should break the bank for Rúben Neves
This guy is anything but a priority signing
A good window for you guys would be getting Traore, Kessie and a creative midfielder - maybe even Donny from us
I’ve never understood why VDB never gets a look in for your boys Robb
It’s one of the mysterious of the world! Guarantee he’ll look great once he’s wearing a different clubs shirt though
Lamptey is so much better but would probably cost double.
What's this guy done to be flavour of the month again? He was comically bad when he came on against United the other day.
Ace summed it up perfectly. He’s heavily built and can run fast and some thinks that makes him a good footballer. He’s an average footballer at best.
I agree, we should be going all out getting Donny van de Beek.
Spurs need defenders that can defend, midfielders that can create, wingers that can cross. Traore is a luxury that Spurs should not touch with a bargepole.

Adama Traore - 1087 mins of football this season in 20 games (18 league & 2 cup) he’s scored no goals and provided no assists.
Big game player?
DvDB for me, all day long

Had me in the first half. I'm curious as to what makes you think DvB would do anything for us that Winks doesn't.
I get the feeling Conte was sending a message with Doherty at LWB today. Let's get Digne and Lamptey in and be done with it. We've got creative midfielders in Ndombele and Lo Celso, Conte just needs time to sort them out.
