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

Love all this stuff, much prepare behind the scenes involving the players when it’s not on the training pitch, is anyone really fussed about watching them do shuttle runs and alike? Personally I’m not and much prefer the stuff in doors which gets us to know the players better with them chatting, laughing and joking with one another etc.
 
He might look lightweight and slim, but if him and IllI start tearing holes in opposition defences, am all for it.
H'mm heavy set defender against a fast lightweight forward.

I honestly don't understand how people are thinking anything other than wait and see. They are coming from a level nowhere near the premier league so it's impossible to assume how they will cope with it or even the championship

He’s 20 and will be in a new country. He must be a bit bewildered, so it was good to see everybody making him welcome, especially McCall putting a fatherly arm round his shoulder and cracking a joke. Just what he needs.

Are PL players stronger than another player in a different league?

Of course they are. Athleticism goes up a notch throughout the league - strength, speed, skill.

Billy Sharp has been so good throughout his career at bullying defenders with his aggression and strength. He barely gets a sniff at goal in the PL.
Michael Hector even managed to mark him out of the game when he was at the pigs.

Hopefully more Nuddy than Littlejohn! Loved Littlejohn don't get me wrong, but not the most composed is fair to say!

Only comment that worries me slightly re Traore is when a Hacken fan said he isn't as good against teams sitting deep and therefore the lack of space. Totally understandable for someone very fast and direct that on the counter works best for this type of player but teams in the PL are very good on denying space/sitting deep as well as then able to hit you going the other way so Traore might not always get the space he desires but hopefully he'll adjust to this side. He looks very skilful regardless and with time hopefully can become a top player for us.

I can't see too many PL teams sitting deep against us. Having pace on the counter/break aways is exactly what we need I reckon.

Agreeed. Far better having Illi and Bene breaking than Sharp and McBurnie. Different players with different skill sets.

Can't see him coming again, but would love to add McAtee to that for counter attacking options.

Agreed, it must be very difficult for them. I couldn't imagine being thrown straight in at the deep-end, in a foreign country, like footballers are. Often with a lot of expectation from the off. Obviously they're paid incredibly well, but money accounts for so much when it comes to being happy and healthy. They are only human and being made to feel welcome will be a big relief for them, I am sure.

I agree but one thing I remember vividly from the PL season is that even the better teams give you little space, sitting deep may sound something that the lower PL sides do but I recall there was so little space from all teams often because PL sides are very good at their shape and there's often no room through and then one/two passes the ball is in our net because PL sides are so good at turning defence into attack. But hopefully we'll be able to use to pace of Ndiaye and Traore when we're sitting deep to then counter teams.
