http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/32744221 Get your bets in now. Who will we loan him too and which club will we sell him to in 2 years time? I think he will be loaned to Watford.
Actually scrub that, he is brazilian so he will need a working Visa so he will have to go to a European club first. So Vitesse Arnhem it is!
If he does end up going to Vitesse i wonder if Traore will come back next season? He's had an awesome season for them.
Traore looked class act for us in the few preseason games ( i know preseason, but still). But He didn't have a great ACON. One player who had a great ACON is Chris Atsu. Very pissed of with Martinez screwing Atsu though. Think our management misled by Lukaku - Martinez partnership.
Atsu is a great young player, and yet another one who has the makings of a 1st Team squad member. It's such a pity we have so many good kids and so few places for them. Would love to see a "second grade" comp as they have in Rugby, which has up and comers and older players in regular, tough competition against all the other clubs. Think it's a better idea than under 18s and under 21s.
Or like in Spain where they have another team like Barcelona B, playing in their equivalent of the Championship. I always wondered though, what would happen if Barca B got promoted? Would Barca effectively have two teams in La Liga?
Really? That sucks. Also its very weird, there is a team in their second tier who cannot be promoted! ok.....
Apparently they can get promoted from 3rd tier to 2nd but only if the A team is in la liga (top tier). Seems sensible really, stops the situation of say a Barca having 2 sides in the same division. Not sure what happens if you're in the 2nd tier and your A team gets relegated. Presumably you'd have to drop back as well. In theory you could win your league and be relegated!! No system is perfect I guess...
