Adama Traore

Traore is actually quicker than Dembele. But not that it matters much as we don't get 3 points for sprint racing.

What it will hopefully do is open space up for the likes of Torres and Depay to exploit too.

MODS move him to the player's thread. It's official

So refreshing to see someone at this physical condition playing for Barca

Seems like a lazy stereotype. Even mediocre players from LL do well in England, hardly happened the other way.

Thruth is we had Dembele who was speedier and couldn't do shit in LL.

It is not just about speed. Adama is a better dribbler period. His ball control is a lot better than people give him credit for. That combined with his pace and strength make it unstoppable. He was bullying EPL defenders, he will continue doing the same to LL defenders, it was not a dig at La Liga. Unlike Dembele, Adama is way better from static positions too

He is of course a much worse player overall, but as solely a dribbler he is top 5 in this decade

You're going overboard trying to project some outstanding qualities on Adama while the guy can barely get a game at Wolves. Just like with Eric Garcia I guess.

I don't mind the guy and understand we needed a quick fix. But Barca wouldn't have considered going for either him or Garcia if not for their La Masia past. And because our squad is so shit that LDJ, Braithwaite or Depay ar starters here.

The fawning over bums that look good on Instagram doesn't make them better football players.
 
Maybe he's not quicker than Dembele, but at least he has speed and doesn't get injured as soon as somebody touches him AND Barca didn't pay 140m him.
