I think It has more to do with the salary cap. Since you know the EPL pretty well, hasn't Adama Traore regressed substantially since his break out season two years ago?

I think his form dipped and he turned into more of a hardworking player, less offensive responsibility but did more for the team. Bruno Lage also benched him a fair bit in more recent times.
I don't think he was ever that talented a player but for a while he was on form and teams couldn't handle his pure athleticism. Also don't forget that he came through at Barcelona as a youth so he's a more obvious choice for them for UEFA rules etc.
Personally I think he could have been very good for Conte as a wing back. In related news, it seems like Luis Diaz is going to Liverpool instead of Spurs. Conte gonna be flipping his desk over any minute now...
marotta's january tradition continues; bendtner, anelka, borriello, matri osvaldo, caicedo... meanwhile their forum are mocking us for having massimiliano biden. i hope they taste their own poison and marotta reunites with allegri at inter.
Liverpool is a very attractive club at the moment particularly for attackers so I can see why he signed with little fuss. We tend to go for wingers who drop back to defend.
