Fulham in advanced talks to sign Traore

[Cobh Fulham Fan]

I think he will be a plus and im eager to see what Marco can do with him, but I'm amused by the Sky Headline which says Fulham are in advanced talks about recruiting him.  I thought we were in advanced talks about all the other potential recruits they told us were Cottage bound!

Should be a swift conclusion with no fees involved even for khan jr

Just not a fan.  I used to be, but the more I watch him, the more he is kind of a waste of talent.  He has pace and power, and gets in good spots, but often I am disappointed with his final product. 

If he accepts a role, maybe its fine.  He does bring a different dynamic to the game when he comes in, but last season he had 34 games, 12 starts and only 2 goals and an assist. He had one season with 4 goals and 9 assists (19/20) but overall his career is just a lot of nothing in terms of the end product.

For a free transfer, maybe its worth the risk.  He is only 27 but there is a reason he only started 12 games at a pretty bad Wolves team.

Agree with most of this.  Young guy, big, strong, powerful, BUT CANNOT FINISH!  This is a huge problem.  His acquisition would have to come with some improvement in this area of his game.  Can do it all except collect goals and/or assists.

But he may do the job for us, let's give him a chance, if he comes of course.

Well at wost it's another body in the squad.

[Woolly Mammoth]

He is not the finished article but he will do a good job for us.
He is swift and powerful and gets round the back of defences
If he is going that cheap it's a no brainer
He knows the English Premier League and he won't be bullied with his upper body strength and he has played with Jimenez.

[rogerpbackinMidEastUS]

Yes from me.
Exciting signing, with Boa and Marco waving their magic wands.

[RaySmith]

I remember him scoring a great winning goal for Wolves against us a couple of years ago - we were committed to attack, trying to save the game, and he broke away with the ball, ran the length of the pitch, beat our defenders and scored.

Think he could be a very good signing.

Buzzing, what an exciting signing. I don't even care really if he is good or not but he is the type of player on his day who is worth the entrance fee alone, I have never seen a player dribble past players as easily as him.

For anyone unsure, watch this comp to see what he is capable of

[Stevieboy]

Didn't he score a last minute breakaway goal against us a few seasons ago ??

[filham]

We have Wilson and Willian, we need one more first choice outstanding wide man and one for cover, perhaps this guy plus CHO would  would meet our needs  and not break the budget.

[@jolslover]

For people criticising his end product, have a watch of this video - and how many are assists to Jimenez

The size of him it's nearer 2 bodies!

[demeant0r]

Seems like this season's James but that's not necessarily a bad thing

[H4usuallysitting]

As an impact sub he'll be a nightmare

[St Eve]

A big yes from me

[bog]

Yes and very painful that was.

This story could be a fairy tale and probably is.
