He could deliver a cross when it suited him. That one for Mackie to score v City was epic.

Every manager that he played under here said the same thing about him. The guy constantly believes he is injured. Picks up a knock or a niggle and doesn't want to train. Similar criticism that has been leveled at Daniel Sturridge in recent years.
As far as I'm concerned, if you play sport for a living your bosy is going to pick up knocks and wear and tear. These will only get worse as you get older and if it's nothing serious, you need to play though it!

I could be mistaken but I'm sure I remember reading he had no injury that any physio could find and he just wouldn't train or play.
If true that's the definition it ion of the word 'mercernary' in footballing terms.

I fully expect him to be brilliant....for about 4-6 games max where you will hear some saying why couldn't our managers get that out of him, but then the Traore we have become accustomed to will become more apparent.
Would liked to have seen him make it with us but the lack of game time in the last couple of years with no Cherry or Polter type anger says enough for me.

But as Tarbie says above, he did openly say he had a psychological issue thinking he was always injured ( http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport...p-book-6775991 ).
Don't get me wrong, I am glad we are shot of him, but I personally don't begrudge him too much, think he did have some ability but has some obvious application issues.You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

I met him in a club up in North London
Where they drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry cola
See-O-L-A cola.
He walked up to me and he asked me to dance.
I asked his name and in a dark brown voice he said, "Traore"
T-R-A ore, ore, ore, ore, ore, Tra-ore
