Traore played one game. Scored a back heel. Got inured. Never played for us again.

Strange comparison. Had a far more successful career than Niasse.

Wrong, Friend. He actually played at Hull away last game of the season too. Apparently anyway, I have no memory of the incident either.

For me it's not really about the money - sure if we'd paid £6/8m and he was a squad filler i'd be easier on the bloke, but we didn't.

He's just not a good footballer, @Neiler mentioned above that he 'made up serious yards and penetration was key to starting every break, transitioned the play and breakaway and scored and assisted, we were were becoming very reliant on him.' - he was also the reason a lot of attacks broke down. No Premier League footballer, NOT ONE should be as wayward and technically poor as to have a 22% shot accuracy ( I know it sounds very FIFA 17) but it's a statistic, a cold hard fact. He was key to starting every break because we were playing everything through him - and look how that turned out.

The first 6 games aside, we won 1 out of 10 (including 6 draws) with Bolasie as focal point of starting attacks. He gets injured at United and we all of a sudden start to play better? if we were 'becoming very reliant on him' then he wasn't doing a very good job at delivering was he.

In 4 years he had 17 assists. 133 games. That's 4.25 assists A SEASON, 1 assist every 7.82 games. In that time he scored 10 goals as an out and out attacking player, so that's 1 goal every 13 games or every 1170 minutes. I don't care that it was for Palace, if they are 'on a plate' then any forward would score them.

In a way he reminds me of stuart barlow aka jigsaw....when it comes to end product hes dreadful

I just wonder how on earth we can get rid of him
 
Considering hes exactly all pace and no end product like some of you suggest, I was surprised his name wasnt on this list compiled by Squawka of PL players who are exactly all pace and no end product. The people mentioned are:

Adama Traore (Boro)
Jesus Navas (Man City)
Jordan Ibe (Bournemouth)
Andros Townend (Palace)
Jefferson Montero (Swansea)
Sofiane Boufal (Southampton)
Januzaj (Sunderland)

Im suggesting he has more than people may give him credit for, dont get me wrong he frustrated the life out of me sometimes at Goodison when I was watching him.

Just think some balance is needed, hes not a world beater but hes by no means absolutely awful and thats ok, we knew what we were getting when we were buying him
