So, Pulis has confirmed that Traore will leave next week if his valuation is met.
04 Aug 2018 20:32:18
But that is only if the valuation is met and wolves are reluctant to do that but I do hope we get him.
04 Aug 2018 20:42:43
Just as telling is that Boro have been bidding on Freeman from QPR who would be a natural replacement, think it won't be long now.

I don't see us spending 18M on vida and traore. I think it will be one or the other.

Traore bid to go in Monday morning to activate release clause. Nuno sees him as a starter in the front 3 and a back up RWB.
Offer still on table for Zinchenko hoping and pushing for an answer early next week.
Still looking at Mina, Lindelof and Mangala.
Deal for Guedes is just tentative enquiry atm.
If we can get these players in then we have cover for all positions.

What is your source Dot Cotten?
04 Aug 2018 23:29:36
Ian Beale.

Hey if they sign him it will be exciting but I think if that’s our only bug business for the week would seems strange to me, we must be signing 2/ 3 as suggested. who would drop to allow our record signing Traore to play? Watching the game today I looked like we need a strong CB and ST (Leo has lost his lion) + a backup for Docherty.
05 Aug 2018 14:47:27
Shhh. That is heresy to suggest! We all know Leo is the best striker in the land and he will score loads.
I am being sarcastic. Leo will not score more than half a dozen goals in the Prem. You are the first person to actually notice we don't need another attacker. We need a striker. Right now we have plenty of lamps but not one lightbulb.
But you say anything and you are labelled as disloyal. Forget the fact that to be loyal means you resolve is questioned. That someone thinking everything is okay is not loyalty cause you are only there cause you think it is ok. Someone thinking a ship could sink and staying is loyal.
And I genuinely think that without a striker we will struggle. We will have a load of draws.

Traore will cost more than 18m according to so called itk sources -figure being mentioned is £26m -this because the £18m activation clause fee is wanted to be payed in full by Middlesbrough but wolves don’t want do that so now talking £26m payed on instalments rather £18m lump sum so if this true expect announcement poss Tuesday 🤔.
05 Aug 2018 17:52:56
What day do you all expect this deal to be completed?
05 Aug 2018 22:34:01
Flawed- no one has a problem with peeps saying they would like another striker, truth be told who in the league wouldn't?! What is frustrating though is the fact the the windows still open, the leagues not started but still we get this NOW NOW NOW attitude from many on here like some child in a toy shop! Laurie was VERY clear and VERY open about the transfer window before it started where he (basically) said that with a WC and new window dates it would go right to the wire and be a tough window for all the promoted clubs so tell me how exactly were you expecting things to go? I mean we were LITERALLY told this was how it would be!
The other element of this point that frustrates me Flawed is that what your are basically saying is 'well us fans chatting on a forum can see this ice berg, oh if only Nuno could see it like us seasoned pros' which frankly is an insult to the mans intelligence. So no its not heresy BUT it is VERY patronising to a man who is without doubt the best manager I have seen at the Mol in my lifetime!
