CONFIRMED Bénie Traoré

[jono_t2000]

Benie Traore (20)
Club: Hacken
Position: Forward
Notes: 9 games, 7 goals and 3 assists

 

[jono_t2000]

Feel like we must be one of the only teams that have never had a 'Traore' play for us in the Premier League.

For that reason alone get in him!

 

[Rodley]

Would he get a work permit post-Brexit?

 

[forte]

Good player indeed, seen all his games this season. Will probably end up in Ligue 1, but would definetely be a good addition for us.

 

[knowsnowt]

Do like.

 

[Booker4]

He may be brilliant but right now I'm thinking more domestic based on comment by McCall on the domestic market being their likely destination for player recruitment as you have less/no knowledge of player character from abroad. Anel was known by Lester so that wasn't the case for Anel. Hopefully we will bring in one or two from abroad if they're decent as the market is so much more value from abroad.

Would he get a work permit post-Brexit?

Machine says no

Alan Nixon reporting that we’re in for him at £5m.

Machine says no

New rules for this season we are allowed 4 players that don't have enough points in the old system

Nixon on the rumour roulette.

Just watched video. Swedish league reel, but screams "bums off seats".

Reminds me of Rahim Sterling. Something about his stature and body shape while running at players at pace. Hope he's more that and less Kadra.

Rangers looking to buy for 4 mill... What a steal for a 20 year old.

We should be all over this.

 

[Ron_Justice]

Swedish league reel......

Precisely, but then, if we're looking for unknown bargains, it's not like we'll be seeing sizzle reels from Serie A etc.

Want.

Alan Nixon reporting that we’re in for him at £5m.

Hopefully he’s right it’s not a player who you’d obviously assume we’d look at so fingers crossed it’s the case he actually has heard something rather than just linking us to a player who’s moving elsewhere to generate clicks and interest.

 

[Teddy]

Seems interesting for sure… are we blocking Jebbo and Osula’s pathway by signing another young unproved, pacey forward though?

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

If he builds the sort of strength you'd expect him to, to go with that speed, agility and footwork, he could be a very good player and a steal at 5m

Looks more of a McAtee replacement to me.

 

[Teddy]

Ideal then - gerrim signed.

It would be good to get a CAM on a permanent as it’s possibly the position we would be most lacking in if relegated (Illy and Berge would be gone, as would MacAtee if loaned again).

 

[Guesty]

Alan Nixon reporting that we’re in for him at £5m.

I suspect Nixon is merely guessing at what he a reasonable rumour based on what he knows about United in general.

 

[CPB]

He's quick, he's a few tricks and looks quite direct. Some of the finishing on display on that clip leaves a bit to be desired and not just his finishing!?

But hard to judge just from that.

Wonder if we would play him as a striker or more where macattee played given his attributes

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Linked with Celtic so I guess it depends on if he wants the premier league over champions league

 

[Frank the tank]

Looks about the same level as jebbo and osula to me

 

[bongleblade]

Question is could jebbo manage 7 goals in sweden?

Imo answer is a big yes - feel like he might be a sideward step on what we already have

7 goals in 9 games... Jebbo does occasionally have a lack of composure in front of goal.

I'd definitely take Traore all day long for that price tag and play him a little deeper than where Jebbo plays anyway.

As others have said although he's a forward, he likes to run direct at the opposition more like Mcatee.

No harm in buying more lottery tickets it increases your chances of winning.

Yes developing Jebbo and Osula should be a priority but at the moment we’re going into the season with only one senior striker with a recent record of staying fit for a whole season and his deal is expiring.

 

[FTPE]

I reckon whoever at United has scouted or recommended this fella has also seen more of him than just the above highlight reel.

And if Hecky (the same bloke that sent Osula on a league 1 loan) wants to bid on him for a spot in the Prem League squad, I reckon he thinks Benie is more developed and ready to go.

 

[TJ blade]

Mmm... premier league for a season or champions league till the end of October

 

[CaptainMorgans]

Good player indeed, seen all his games this season. Will probably end up in Ligue 1, but would definetely be a good addition for us.

What do you reckon forte , what's his skillset like and where would you see him fitting into our side?
