I reckon Roberts has asked to go as he wants to be playing. Shouldn't forget the lad was stop start in his early career and probably doesn't want go back to watching from the bench most weeks!
Just thinking the same. On Saturday we only had 4 players involved in the playoff final playing on Saturday. There was such a link with those players last season, so for them start to leave the club feels wrong in a way although the squad is that bloated now it's required
His middle name is Isidore, I'm sold. (no E in Winsons, but you're picking up what I'm putting down).
And he hates the Mags: https://www.skysports.com/football/...atkins-and-traore-lift-villa-to-newcastle-win
Think Roberts moving is best for best parties. Bar the PO final he hasn’t shone in games like he did, and didn’t score as much as he did. Hope he can refind his form. traoe is an improvement. all signings are. enjoy your evenings
Not as exciting wing as I'd like but he's more of athlete than all of our wingers and has had seasons where he's had more G/A than Roberts had in his whole career
Traore is fine. Obviously not our first choice target, but it's a small punt to add depth to the squad.

One of the few who I actually know! Not a bad player from memory. Seemed to have a goal in him if I'm on the right one .
Roof Hume Alderete Ballard Gerty Xhaka Le fee Rigg Mundle Isidor Mayenda Subs Nordi Brobs Neil Patto Onien Aji Jones (about 5 of em) Seelt Not awful for a few games. We could also start nordi and play a back 5 as fixtures are tough. Therefore even better shape
I struggle to see the comparisons with Roberts for Traore. He got 18 g/a last season. Roberts got 10 g/a. He scored more goals last season than Roberts did during his entire time with us. Looks a good signing to me at a low fee
I’m gutted Paddy has gone but it’s progress. I get people having concerns with Traore but he’s had just shy of 150 goal contributions in his career, The complaint with Paddy was always a lack of this. It’s never gonna be a wow signing but I think it’s a worthwhile one.
