Unplayable, Unstoppable, Speedster, Speedy Hulk
One of my favourite players of the moment, apart from Reuben Neves, Jose Sa, Romain Saiss and a whole host of others (ha ha) is Adama Traore. The Spanish International is all of 24 years old and has been with the Wanderers for 3 and a half seasons. The boy from Barcelona, then Middlesborough and now Wolves is a world class player, if he is with the right team.
Wolves is about to be that team !
While he has yet to set the stage alight, he has many fans amongst the managers. Ranging from Juergen Klopp to Antonio Conte, they all sing his praises and wish they can bring him to add fuel to their teams.
As a faraway, fairweather fan of the Wolves, I say "No". We need the calibre of Adama to help the team gather 65 points end of season (they have 31 now) and need another 34 out of 18 matches to reach that lofty goal of No.4 or 5 in the League.
Everytime he goes up to the final 3rd of the game, he sets the fans hearts racing.
Everytime he sprints upfield, you can see the 2 - 3 opposing defenders all scampering like mad dogs to cover the field knowing that he can easily turn them around like ballerinas during pirouettes and chasing after his shadow. He has that tremendous fine balance of explosive physical speed, skill and body mass to run against any top defensive unit IN THE WORLD.
Look at the way he destroyed Luke Shaw against Man United where he got in his cross and it was deflected / parried away only for Moutinho to gracefully place in to the goal's left hand corner ?
His goal yesterday against a dogged Saints team was an absolute classic. Once his focus is on the goal, nothing else matters and he will go on like a bulldog.
The young man has the X factor to set opposing teams defences panicking sending 2 - 3 players to hound him down and pulling their defences apart only to allow him to cross to the forwards who then have all the time in the world to place their shots like Moutinho.
Look at his assist against Aston Villa, again he took out 3 players before sending a perfect cross to Romain Saiss to scramble the ball into the net ? Brilliant.
The young man has tremendous talent.
Please keep him for half a season more, then see where Wolves are in the EPL table ?
If they make it to Europe, offer him top million dollar pounds, else he will go.
Wolves - make the hard decisions. You can't depend on grooming the wonderful young talents only for the top clubs to poach them like Diogo Jota (to Liverpool) any more
You want international fans like me to stay ? Spend money. Groom the best and keep them.
Win trophies and recognition.
Now is the time
