Traore off to Forest

[Hubble]

He could deliver a cross when it suited him. That one for Mackie to score v City was epic.

[Brian Wilson]

Btw the way just seen he's got a 3 year deal that's f.arking mental. Must have some sort of super agent. Forest. Pants. Down

I'd say he will manage about 20 games for them in 3 years. He is good enough for the championship but too many issues.

[Tarbie]

Talented player.....awful attitude. Basically my least favourite type of footballer. Ha ha

[dogsrrs]

Will play well in the 1st few games just to give them false hope before the realization kicks in they've signed a stoomer

Always seemed to be more about confidence than application with Traore - about time he moved for his own good....as well as ours

He's already gone mate, contract expired.

Every manager that he played under here said the same thing about him. The guy constantly believes he is injured. Picks up a knock or a niggle and doesn't want to train. Similar criticism that has been leveled at Daniel Sturridge in recent years.

As far as I'm concerned, if you play sport for a living your bosy is going to pick up knocks and wear and tear. These will only get worse as you get older and if it's nothing serious, you need to play though it!

He's done something Hoilett or Ale Faurlin haven't managed to do yet. Get a job.

[MattyRangers]

Good luck to the guy. We've had worse LB's in our history and I wouldn't put him in the mercenary bracket because he always gave his best within his limited abilities. Fans always need a boo-boy and unfortunately he was their target.

I actually think he's got the ability Stan, just lacks application

[maverick69]

If you stuck him in a blender with SWP, you'd end up with the most magnificent turd ever created.

Are they actually paying money?!

Didn't he refuse to play for us untold times mate?
I could be mistaken but I'm sure I remember reading he had no injury that any physio could find and he just wouldn't train or play.
If true that's the definition it ion of the word 'mercernary' in footballing terms.

[TimPR78]

I fully expect him to be brilliant....for about 4-6 games max where you will hear some saying why couldn't our managers get that out of him, but then the Traore we have become accustomed to will become more apparent.

Would liked to have seen him make it with us but the lack of game time in the last couple of years with no Cherry or Polter type anger says enough for me.

Honestly have no recollection of that rumour.

Personally don't recall that mate.

But as Tarbie says above, he did openly say he had a psychological issue thinking he was always injured ( http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport...p-book-6775991 ).

Don't get me wrong, I am glad we are shot of him, but I personally don't begrudge him too much, think he did have some ability but has some obvious application issues.

[Joe90]

I met him in a club up in North London
Where they drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola
See-O-L-A cola.

He walked up to me and he asked me to dance.
I asked his name and in a dark brown voice he said, "Traore"
T-R-A ore, ore, ore, ore, ore, Tra-ore

[Fordy]

After reading this I'm really struggling to think of any times I saw any ability that he was a good player? One cross to Mackie at City in about 5 years. Don't know who you were watching. Awful player. Tripped over his own feet ffs
