BAE staying put according to Traore

[Ricky]

I personally would like to see BAE at LB and Traore at LW. I thought he was great when he came on yesterday; that burst from our own half was incredible, so much pace! I think BAE would play better with a left winger with him hugging the touchline; the amount of times he picks up the ball and everyone is inside.

P.S Traore's crosses v Stoke for Helguson and v City for Mackie says it all, the boy can cross!

ahhh of course, two crosses he put in over 2 seasons ago............jesus christ!

To be fair to him he's had injury issues which, if you read the article, now seem to have been addressed.

He's also been in and out of the side for the last year or so.

looked like bambi on ice against doncaster. farking useless. 2 good crosses in 44 games. yeah, go ahead and put him in the starting 11. lol

would love to sign benny on a perm. class player but guess it probably wont happen.

This regarding Traore. He might look the deal, but he isn't.

I for one, wouldn't be bothered if he did go back. He is not as good as some people think...just better than what we have at the moment.

He's only part of the meanest defence in the country, that's all.

[Tarbie]

Divides opinion Benny, doesn't he?

Personally I'm not too taken with him, no doubt he's a very talented player but I don't think he's been great for us. If you watch him closely he gets caught out of position a lot, it happened in the first half yesterday and Benayoun had to scarper back to cover for him. He also misplaces a lot of long passes when there is often a far easier ball on for him. I also think he has the air of a "Big Time Charlie" about him, like he knows he's a bit too good for this league.

I wouldn't be too gutted if Spurs called him back, just as long as we have more than Traore as cover.

that's 2 crosses in 3 seasons...can you name a third

[QPRDave]

I hope he stays ...great defender imo, and cool under pressure

Sometimes Rangers fans can sound just a wee bit spoilt. Fans of pretty well any other Championship club - and probably one or two in the Prem - would be creaming themselves over the choice of BAE and Traore at left back. As the cliche goes, nice dilemma to have...

Spot on.

Anyone seen some of his stats this season? The blokes a machine. Just because he doesn't run around like a headless chicken doesn't mean he isn't doing a great job.

Some people must be mad if they think we're better off with Traore and Hill as cover. Traore has dined out off that one cross at Stoke for the best part of 2 years. In rality he is a very very average LB and an alright Winger.

Just seen this stat from the Donny game too...

''No player has won the ball more in the defensive third (11) in a Championship match this season than Benoit Assou-Ekotto did against Doncaster Rovers on Wednesday afternoon.''

Traore has pace but no confidence and can make an easy sideway pass look like he's gonna break a leg. Aweful at positioning and very injuryprone to say the least. To read that anyone think we are better off without BAE??? Incredible! The guy is pure class, got the pace and could easily start for more than half the PL teams. So what if he's a bit cocky..he's a baller and that's his style. Acted the same way in spurs.

[Wolfy]

Toare does cause us problems. He gave away a needless free kick just outside the 18 yard box near the end of the game. BAE would be a big loss as he is calm on the ball and this is an advantage for the players around him. I rather he plays than the reckless Toare at left back as this would unsettle the team.

Marcus Bignot...now that was a full back!
