Lacina Traore

Libero

Jose Dominguez
Haven't seen anything mentioned about him at all in this sub section of the forum and nor have I seen any rumours linking us. However, having just read an article in which the Anzhi benefactor has flipped a lid, I wondered if perhaps he would be a very good target for us?

It seems the club have a maintenance bill of around £116m a year in terms of wages, bonuses etc and the man behind it all wants to work within a budget of no more than £45m per annum.

I know that Traore was quite highly coveted when he was at Cluj and he seems to be a having a decent career at Anzhi too. Given their need to reduce the wage bill and bring in some cash, I think he would fit the bill in terms of the situations as a club we like to exploit and possibly would go for a reasonable fee.

Does anybody have any first hand experience of having watched him recently during his stint in Russia or even while he was with Cluj?

***BUMPED***

Anyone think Traore would be a good signing for us given the situation at Anzhi?
 

AS, what do you reckon they would look to get for him given their current situation?

Have to say I havent really seen anything of him other than a few bits when he was at Cluj and a couple of goals last season with Anzhi but he does look quite imposing and still quite mobile despite his height.

honestly? he shouldnt cost more than 5 million. if they get 8 million then they have done a swindle on us. certain things make you a pricey forward....finishing, movement, physical/athletic attributes and technical ability. he doesnt have enough of any of those to b considered a prized asset as such we shouldnt be thinking that he is expensive.

The one thing he does have are the physical attributes....and i have always liked him as an option from our bench. am talking years to be honest i have bene interested in this guy

i honestly cant see how we can go wrong with him. he wont expect to be a starter and bringing him on gives us a different style and edge

edit:- like you said, he is more mobile than crouch and peter wasnt that immobile for a 6'7 footballer
