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?
