Hopefully so, if we can get what we paid then can go on a decent signing ?

Oh dear, that’s got to hurt Traore’s pride, from a mid-table team (doesn’t want to sign a new contract) to Barcelona (don’t want to sign him) and now the side that *barely* stayed in the league (delighted when they beat a nine man side 2-1).

Whoever wants to pay most for AT sell him and move on.

Can't believe all this anti Adama stuff.Barcelona is his home town and recently was the world's top club so why on earth wouldn't he want to play for them particularly when players not fit to lace his boots at Molineux are earning more? I for one would have him over Hwang who flattered to deceive even more than Adama himself.

@Old Wulf, I’m not anti-Traore he was offered a new deal (going back to when Nuno was in charge) and he didn’t want to sign it. That’s why I used the Wolves / Barcelona / Leeds comparison.

So if he doesn’t want to be here, sell him and move on, I’m not saying that in the bitter sense, more of if he doesn’t want to be here, cash in.

Who says he doesn't want to be here, Debs? As with the vast majority of players it's probably all about contracts and the money and money comparisons with teammates and players elsewhere.The scourge of agents I'm afraid.

Another way of looking at the wage situation is - what has Adama Traore produced on the pitch in the last 1.5 seasons (given he was at Barcelona for half of last season) to earn a wage increase?

Traore has had the contract offer on the table for 2 years. Of course he has the choice of whether he signs it or not, however from reading the media reports, he is currently on £48k per week and wants £150k per week. Over the last 2 years, he has done nothing to justify the club tripling his wages.

If he doesn't sign, then let him run down his contract and move him on but if we can move him on then do. There is clearly an issue with the player himself because I'm sure he agreed to take a wage cut to join his boyhood club on loan and I'm sure this was to be carried over if he signed on a permanent basis. The fact that Barcelona won't pay him £40k per week shows that he will struggle to get his asking wage.
