Traore on his way to the reebok

[Guest mick the baker]

Taken from todays guardian,Traoré, 26, who is surplus to requirements at Anfield. Bolton are expected to offer £1.5m for the player who cost Liverpool £550,000 from Laval seven years ago.

 

Traoré's departure will be followed by further squad trimming at Liverpool, with Antonio Barragán expected to join Deportivo La Coruña in a £1.7m deal and the likes of Jerzy Dudek, Salif Diao, Anthony Le Tallec and Carl Medjani all effectively available for transfer. Rafa has wasted no time in getting rid of the deadwood.

[Maldini]

Where's that from? He's probably worth a lot more than £1.5m, but I'll be happy to get that for him to be honest

[Andythered]

Good news.

[magneto]

I want him off our books because i dont want him as an option on the bench.

[_00_deathscar]

Wonder what the odds are on him signing for Man City?

[Guest TanMan]

Jerzy Dudek should never EVER be termed 'deadwood'. Plaudits w@nk lyrical about Stevie G winning us No 5 but Jerzy ran him a very close second.

[Serko]

we'd never have won number 5 without Biscan.

And we shouldn't pay them a penny more

[Guest Jodus]

He's served us very well for a pric-etag of 550K - you don't get much for that.

Lira?

hahaha

thats a spike milligan line right there.

I actually believe Traore is a far better player than most give him credit for.

 

He was superb up to Christmas in the No. 5 season.

 

Whist I think it's clear his future lies elsewhere, and probably quite rightly, I don't think we should be accepting a paltry sum for him. He's young and a European Cup Winner.....£3mill minimum surely.

[Mike]

traore has never been superb mate.

thats a superlative too far.

[5InIstanbul]

Some people have very short memories Mike.

 

I stand by it, during that period he was superb. arely put a foot wrong, was Rafa's first choice and looked the part.

[Mike]

ive got a very long memory as it happens.

[Ian Mc]

Quality if Rafa can get the fee up to a potential £3M for Djimbo.

 

No matter how s**** he was and is, that clearance off the line in Istanbul was worth all the horror shows since 99' ;o)

[5InIstanbul]

ive got a very long memory as it happens.

 

Sorry Mike, that wasn't aimed at you.

 

I think in general most are quick to overlook many of the excellent games he had for us, particularly during that period.

no, he was just less sh*te and error-prone than usual.

 

someone order the taxi to the reebok now will they?

[fred milne]

If we have to sell to Allardyce then I'd much rather it was Traore than Hamann.

[mickdundee]

however much they offer for Djimi we should ask for £400,000 more.

 

Big Sam wont feel so clever then

[JohnnyH]

I cannot for the life of me see how anyone can say that Traore had many excellant games, because he didn't. He was and is a liability who cannot pass the ball more the 10 yards. The amount of times he actually passed the ball out of play when trying a simple 15 yard pass up the lineto Kewell or Riise was astonishing. Calling him superb is just plain wrong. He is a stop gap, and a poor one at that. He cleared one of the line in the final, but he was also there for the first half shambles and Rafa was taking him off before it was realised that Finnan was injured, so Rafa was all that impressed either.

Is right. 100%.

 

If he does go to Bolton, that should tell everyone everything they need to know about 'former England job candidate Sam "I'm a great manager me" Allardyce'.

 

I imagine if he does go to Bolton, Didi will be delighted.
