Eduoard has had a shocking season but outwith that has certainly looked good enough. Mcgegor in my opinion is better than Praet, Mendy and Choudhury. Ajer looks like he could be a decent PL defender. The could play for burnley maybe... Look I am not anti Celtic... I just don't see any if their players in a top six side. In the future they might have someone... but not now. If we were heading for the championship then I would reconsider. I am impressed by Cedric at arsenal and I believe he will continue to improve along with arsenal under artsta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoopla10 Posted 18 April 2021 Share Posted 18 April 2021 8 hours ago, gerblod said: Wolves rumoured to be wanting to offload Adama Traore to facilitate new signings. £30m "could be enough". Is he at the level City would require for a right winger, or is he just a Hufflepuff? He's nowhere near the level we require. There was a point that he looked to be pushing to the next level but just stalled. He's a poor mans Antonio imo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of that is the price. I mean, 15m? Sure. But he's not worth 25+, and I'd think they'd want that. I'm sick of Rich 6 teams being able to offload their deadweight for tens of millions (Morata a pretty good example for the same club) and would be annoyed if we fell in that trap. But - I also just don't think he's that good. I guess that leaves me in the minority, which I'll accept. I also love Traore and would pay 25-30m for him way before Tammy. Other than the bit about Traore, in agreement with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree Traore has stalled, I would like to see your opinion on if you think he offers something different to anything else we have though? I feel Traore will always occupy 2 defenders because of his speed and ability to go past a player. Leaving potentially more space for Barnes, Vardy, Kelechi and Maddison. For 30 million I don't think the fee is that bad. Maybe a change could be good for him. Roughly 1 year ago he was being talked about for double the figure due to his performances. Potentially could sell Perez and Hamza (not due to last weekend party) just on players who we can likely improve as squad players for 20-25 million for them both. Then Traore maybe for 5 million more. I think with Traore there is a player who could be useful option for our team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 19 April 2021 Share Posted 19 April 2021 Yesterday reinforced the need for another striker. We had nobody to bring on off the bench. When Vardy went down I thought that was it. No way were we going to force a win with one striker. Whatever it takes and, within reason, whatever it costs this has to happen now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's strong, players bounce of him and he can run with the ball which draws players towards him. That bit is great. But it doesn't mean anything unless something comes of it. I don't really mean scoring goals either. It's that final link up. Having players in space created by Traore doesn't mean much if he can't get the ball to them. If BR felt he could push him onto the next level consistently I'd take him in a heartbeat. He'd bully defenders, be a nightmare to play against, have that speed of Vardy to harry and panic the opposition. But I get the sense Nuno is a pretty good coach (I don't follow Wolves enough to know if that's actually true) so I suspect this is Traore's level. Which is fine, just not for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Fingers crossed this isn't an offensive word to the skin pigmentally challenged as well as potential accusations of racism) Information Bulletin – What Do You Call Me? For many people the term “albino” brings to mind images of a person or animal with a pale complexion and pink eyes. The term “albinism,” by contrast, is less commonplace or recognizable to people who may not know a person with the condition. We all know that words can be powerful, so how do you say that someone is an albino without being disrespectful? Words Can Hurt or Heal In the albinism community, opinions vary on the use of the word albino. While some find it extraordinarily offensive, others feel the label carries neutral or even empowering connotations. Many people with albinism agree that their feelings depend on the context or intent in which the word is used. The term can be derogatory when said mockingly or with malice, or it can be used innocently by someone who means no offense or is just curious. Some people with albinism grew up in families or communities that used the word albino often and learned at an early age that there was no shame or negativity in referring to themselves as such. Others may have found that they were only called albino when they were being teased. Some describe their negative association with the word as being as offensive as a racial slur. Some children and adults with albinism may use the term albino proudly and may feel empowered by “taking back” a once offensive word. By showing the world that they are comfortable calling themselves a word they once found hurtful or derogatory, the word “albino” loses all the power and shock value that it once claimed. By taking personal ownership of one’s condition, many people with albinism find that words like albino can no longer hurt them. Of course this is a very personal decision, and not all people with albinism feel comfortable using or hearing the term. Put the Person First Although there are many people with albinism who are at peace with the term albino, when dealing with any condition, it is best to put the person first. For instance, say, “a person with albinism” rather than “an albino” or “an albino person.” The rationale for this person-centered language is to do just that: put the person ahead of the condition. When a person is referred to as an albino, he or she is essentially being reduced to and defined by nothing more than their condition. It’s as though the world looks at that person and sees only the condition of albinism. In this way, it can feel like a dehumanizing label. To most in the albinism community, the term “person with albinism” will always be a kinder, gentler, less shocking term. Regardless of the context, the word albino can sometimes be an ugly, jolting word to many, especially when heard unexpectedly. If you’re ever unsure, just ask. Every person with albinism will have personal experiences and opinions about the label. As one NOAH member said, “I may be an albino, but above all else, I am a person. I just happen to have the condition of albinism.” 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one thing as a native of this city I am proud of. The vast majority of the time that is represented on this forum.

One thing also though is I think Jimenez being out has affected Traore's effectiveness if that makes sense. Wolves plan A for so long was getting Traore to the by line and for him to stand it up to Jimenez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post davieG Posted 21 April 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 21 April 2021 Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are all reportedly interested in signing Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho this coming summer. According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Kelechi Iheanacho is starting to become a hot property in the market ahead of the summer transfer window. The 24-year-old Leicester City striker is being courted by the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United. Iheanacho joined Leicester City from Manchester City in the summer of 2017 after failing to establish a foothold in the Citizens’ first-team setup due to the presence of Sergio Aguero. At the King Power Stadium, the Nigerian international did not make the best of starts, but has finally started to grow into a key figure for the former Premier League champions. http://www.thehardtackle.com/news/2021/04/21/transfer-news-arsenal-chelsea-manchester-united-keen-on-kelechi-iheanacho/ 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
