Outside of United I never hear anyone talk about James. You guys tend to overrate your players more than any fans. For years I been hating how great Shaw is and never saw it
I saw James play for Swansea last season and I said on here he would be a good signing . It's the overrating of Traore that I can't understand he's bang average and that's being kind

I honestly think we should jump on an opportunity to sign him during winter transfer window. He is a physical freak. Would be a valuable asset for our weak right wing.

That's your opinion . James has alot more than total speed while that's all Traore has. Honestly because Klopp has come out and praised him you lot are touching yourselfs thinking we should spend 50 mil on him . He hardly ever starts for Wolves for godsake
Klopp came out and praised who?

What attributes except for pace and his WWE reaction to getting fooled does James have over Traore?

Try not to be biased.

Yup, it's not a good sign though - shows that his fitness is bad. Antonio Valencia was built like a brick wall but he was absolutely brilliant fitness wise.
Yeah Valencia was immense at his peak.
Surely he could not compete for a full 90 mins with this much muscle mass? Also is he much of an improvement on James? Only really see him against us and the odd game when wolves are playing someone above us.
Yeah I also find it mind boggling because surely they have dieticians and advisors at this elite level.

Are you seriously claiming that United-fans have been saying that Shaw has been great the last couple of seasons ?

This is James' first season at top-level - whereas this is Traores first season where he looks like a good player. Perhaps give James a bit of experience before you judge him. His stats this season are just as good as Traores

Got nothing to base this on besides his physique/body type, but someone that bulky is bound to have injury issues at some point isn’t he?

I think at a club with aims to win the title/CL he'd be better suited being moulded into a fullback/wingback.

He just doesn't have the end product consistently to play winger for a team that have to win every week.

He reminds me of a young Valencia, I think he could be moulded into a fantastic wing/wingback.

His value would be through the roof with his current form.

Doesn’t he play wingback at Wolves?

What under nonsense. I'm not saying all, but much of this thread is based on opinions with very little knowledge.

I am from Wolverhampton (not supporter) and thus have seen most of their games this season. I guess playing 19 games (16 starts) out of 20 constitutes "hardly ever starts for Wolves...".

Granted last season he was all brute force and pace with very little end product.

However this season Traores' brain seems to have clicked into gear. By far and away one of their best players this season, and thus far probably one of the best wingers in the league. 4 goals, 4 assists but should be much more due to errant finishing by Wolves players.

Not saying we need to buy him or or should buy him but he is much much better than what a lot will give him credit for. Just don't base everything on last season. He is a different player so far this season. One to keep an eye one for the remainder of this season.

You're honestly saying it's United fans who big Shaw up? When he went to a world cup instead of Ashley Cole when he was 18 while still at Southampton?

Sure, sounds like a United hype job to me.

Traore has been a menace this season. He's ripped City to shreds twice already. He looked dangerous vs Liverpool. He's probably one of the main reasons Wolves haven't fallen off despite playing in Europe.

I think James and Traore will both become very good players, but Traore's ceiling is significantly higher.

Feel like I’ve entered an alternate reality reading this thread, or are fans just so desperate for any kind of signing that they will completely overlook massive deficiencies in a player just to get someone in?

Have no clue about his ceiling as its all down to consistentcy but i recall playing middlesbrough a few years back and he come on late and first thing he did was bundle through half the team. He causes fear in teams.

Whoscored have him as the 2nd best player in the league this season? :lol:

I think he's been better than James too, but they really need to work on their rating system.

I am not so sure it is - James has some qualities Traore doesn't have. James actually is a very good passer of the ball - Traore is not.

He really enjoys embarrassing defenders. If weren't paying attention you would never think these are PL teams :lol:

The move at 3:37 on the video is just disgusting.

I don't think that's enough to move the needle in regards to their respective ceilings. Based on physical and on the ball attributes I think Adama is in another league. Both highly talented players.

I think it's decent. He's being up there this season.

Has huge flop written all over him. I'd imagine him losing a bunch of balls and crossing it into the stands

Mane could start matches and play 90 mins
True. I meant more in the terms of refinement and raw potential.

No one probably imagined Mane would ever hit the heights he has 3-4 years back and I think Traore is as well capable of a surprise.

Why’s that? Cause he’s big?

He’s like a much more technically gifted Valencia for me, which would be an excellent signing.

James is a better finisher as stats tell us he also has more assists and he is just a all round better player . He puts in a shift for his team even when he isn't playing well . Traore struggles to get into the Wolves side on a regular basis. He has the potential to be brilliant with his pace and power but he doesn't seem to have the football brain that James has .
You really have no clue, do you? So much wrong with this post.

Sorry because I have a different opinion than yourself ? If Traore is so good why does he not start every game for Wolves ? So instead of telling me I've no clue maybe you should enlighten me and tell me all about Traore being so good
