Lacina Traore

[Furey1878]

If this guy is the height of Andy Carroll, I am a bit concerned that we will resort to hoofball, a feature of our game under our EX I was glad to see dissappear. I really hope that Roberto will not let that happen.

Don't worry your pretty little head, mate.

Bobby beat hoofball out of the players about 2 months after being hired.

That's fantastic. We've just flew in out of nowhere, shown a bit of interest and the lad's probably changed his mind instantly.

It's what I like to see. Us being ruthless for once and not being "Mr Nice Guy". Bravo!

Imagine being Traore talking to Allardyce: "Yeah son we plan to play you up front as a big lump to aim our hoofs at when our other big lump isn't up to snuff. Also you're going to want to wear a wooly hat when you're playing because those high balls don't half get chilly the length of time they spend in the air."
Then speaking to Martinez: "We'll actually pass to you."

Not much competition is there really?

 

[USABlue]

hope he can come in a provide some goals during the push. pretty low risk as a loan deal.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

can't wait for the first time people see him at goodison 'bloody hell he's big isn't he?'

 

[Wat Tyler]

Is he definitely injured for a month?

I don't think it's that serious. Just a slight injury. Should be sorted by the derby

He's 4 inches taller than Carroll. Carroll is only 6'4". Crouch is only 6'7"! Even that Zigic fella was only 6' 7 & 1/2" !

Traore is 6'8" and will become the tallest outfield player in Premier League history.

 

[Baines' left foot]

The thing that must be most annoying about being that height is the amount of times people will approach you and say:

"Bloody hell, how tall are YOU?"

 

[Ashtonian]

The ironic thing is if this deal happens is that I started a career on fifa a couple weeks back and after selling jelavic I signed lacana for 9 million.

I also bought De vilj and veratti. ...watch this space

 

[TrixyStevens]

Has he signed like?

"Bloody hell, how tall are YOU?"

or "Hey do you play basketball?!"

What's the betting that we reveal him before kick off against WBA? Love announcing signings like that now.

It will be this, gives the team and the fans a massive boost before a big night game live on sky.

Can't really see the WBA owners being happy with announcing a rival signing at their own ground tbh mate...

On the pitch at the Hawthorns?
