[Danetheblade]

Still maintain he didn’t get a fair crack with us.

Can't go on all the rides at Alton Towers so completely worthless

Lovely goal on first viewing - but on the replay we see the centre backs just let him through!

 

[Melbourne Blade]

Buy him back!!

 

[prescotblade]

He would probably do better in the present team and style of play. Last season we were doomed even before the kick off.

 

[jono_t2000]

His assist for the first goal was just as good. A little one touch flick around the corner to put the scorer straight through.

Traore on 4 goal contributions in 3 games currently.

Would have loved to see how he got on in the Champ. Good business decision though, given the fee.

And BTW that right-back needs sacking

 

[AWetFlannel]

Shows how directionless we are that we sign a young striker to develop and ship them out within a season where he'd actually get a chance.

Teaming up with Shakiri now. Xerdan finally back were it started.

 

[jono_t2000]

Assist yesterday for Ivory Coast.

2 goal contributions in 2 games since being called up to the senior Ivory Coast team.

Got a decent fee for him but if we knew our forward recruitment would go the way it did then he should have been kept

Against the might of Zambia.. the lad wasn't and isn't good enough for English football at least not our level so let's not kid ourself that he could've been something.

How do you know when he hasn't even been given a proper chance.

We don't, but we pay Wilder and the coaching staff to make those decisions, and they did, immediately.
I liked him, and I really wanted to see more of him but Chris shipped him out faster than anyone else in the squad. He saw something he didn't like, and not only did he see more of him than we did but he knows the game more than most of us as well.

I notice that Benie Traore is doing well over in Switzerland.

League
19 starts, 2 sub apps - 6 goals, 5 assists

Cup
2 starts - 2 assists

He's also played 5 times for Ivory Coast in African Cup Qualifiers (just 1 start) and has 2 assists.

I know Swiss league isn't all that, but he's at the best club in Switzerland and regularly starting.
Wonder if he's gonna develop into a top player?

Roygbiv - can we have a special view from Basel?
