CONFIRMED Bénie Traoré

[SB_90]

if he can get 10+ goals then we are looking very good to stay up here. but i have seen not since inaugural season & deano, have we had a striker 10+ in top division

 

[Berkshire Blade]

I must have missed the part where we were buying the attributes of the Allsvenskan as a whole, and not a specific player who played within it whose skillset we think will contribute to the squad.

If you don't see how stepping up levels isn't as simple as "he looked good in the backwaters so he can do it anywhere" I can't help you. No doubt he's got something but I am not going to get excited or downplay him until I see him in our system and against good players!

 

[Edinblade]

Wait till he realises all the EPL games are not played on artificial pitches. Shirecliffe in the winter mud will be an eye opener

There’s a new pitch at Shirecliffe

 

[drblade]

I think we have 4 games scheduled when it's on, although I think it's impact on us will be clearer when the draw is made

What teams do our African players play for - Senegal, Mali, Ivory Coast, Tunisia and (Possibly) Algeria.

13th Jan - Wesh ham H
30th Jan - Palace A
3rd Feb - Villa H
10th Feb - Luton A

Already 4 must win games

UTB

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

His trickery will lead to a lot of free kicks around the area. Shame we couldn't sign Ward-Prowse as well!!

Didzy got 8 in the relegation season. That provides me with hope (false?!?)

Sorry, I must have missed the part where if we scout someone who has various attributes that we might find useful, such as "pace", "defensive workrate", "ability to shoot and not have it end up somewhere above Jonkoping in a binary orbit with Simonsen's penalty" etc are the types of skills that are entirely dependent on the opposition team and not the player in question, cannot possibly translate, and he is shit until proven otherwise

 

[Houston_Blade]

That will never work, Blades fans will have to call him Try-Orr-Ay, we don't have the flair for a foreign surname!

 

[Rodley]

I'm already so much more excited about these signings than I was about Wilder's pre-premier league signings, and they've cost a fraction.

Not been this excited since Retsos, Zivkovic and Verrips!

 

[RammyBlade]

Loo

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

looks good nice pace and trickery although Youtube videos can be deceptive

 

[Jon Bon II]

He needs to get to Argos and spend some of that signing bonus on an iron.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Brings our average age down as well. Looking like a younger, more hungry team than the past few years.

Most of our assets are U25

RND
Anel
Yassir
Bogle
Anis
Coulibaly
Berge
Brewster
Iliman
Traore
Jebbo
Osula


Also

Brooks, Marsh & Sachdev.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

, and he is shit until proven otherwise

That's exactly not what I am saying. I am saying I am waiting and seeing. It's impossible to judge

 

[Houston_Blade]

more hungry team

I think I must be scarred from Mousset because I never think a more hungry team is a good thing anymore.

 

[jt64]

That's exactly not what I am saying. I am saying I am waiting and seeing. It's impossible to judge

Ah, it's impossible to look at a player and say he can do x, y and z, got you. Sure glad you don't work in our scouting department!

 

[SUFC Guy]

Nice that he seem to be coming. Still, I think we should have gone for Sigurdsson. Maybe we can get both

So I guess oyu are very happy with this then Forte?

What else can you tell us about him? Think he will slot straight in and be ready go seeing as he is already match fit?

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Ah, it's impossible to look at a player and say he can do x, y and z, got you. Sure glad you don't work in our scouting department!

I bow down to your watching a YouTube video skills

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Oh benie benie, benie benie benie benie traoreeee.

Simple yet effective?

 

[mattbianco1]

He doesn't look strong enough for the PL does he? A decent gust of wind looks like it will knock him over.

 

[Kev Gee]

He doesn't look strong enough for the PL does he? A decent gust of wind looks like it will knock him over.

"So Benie."
"It's pretty windy today..."
"Do you like wind Benie?"

Player laughs along and looks confused.

 

[Nightsweats]

"So Benie."
"It's pretty windy today..."
"Do you like wind Benie?"

Player laughs along and looks confused.

The quality of questions to new signings reflect perfectly the reality of our brain dead society.

If we are without all the African players then it will mean they have been doing well for us and as a result the team will be in a decent position - as it stands I can only see us being without Ndiaye and Slimani for definite

 

[I should coco]

There’s a new pitch at Shirecliffe

I think you got away with it, but don't mention it again.

Half out fanbase only want money spunking on players, so pitch improvements don't go down well. If it ends up being a Desso, we'll be in ubèr meltdown territory.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

B B Bénie and ….

We can sing the Benny Hill Theme Tune whenever he sets off on a run.

 

[JackSUFC]

Some more analysis and stats to read.

Excited to see what this lad can offer.

 

[Bladesman]

 

[SUFC Guy]

[Russ]

And there we were only expecting to buy someone from Hacken thorpe…!

 

[Katzenjammer]

This is the wholesome content I like to see. I love this team and the set up we have right now.
