Former footballer Gregor Robertson, speaking on the latest episode of The Times’ The Game Football Podcast, has revealed that Adama Traore ‘fills him with terror’.
Robertson was joined by Jonathan Northcroft and Natalie Sawyer to discuss topics such as Manchester United and Wolverhampton Wanderers.
While they were talking about Wolves, Robertson started to reveal his feelings about Traore.
Here is what he had to say about the 24-year-old.
“Adama Traore just seems to keep raising it up a level, he just set it on a plate for [Raul] Jimenez again for a goal [on Wednesday], and he looks unplayable.
“He really does, you know I’ve watched him play, as a former left-back myself, and it just fills me with terror.
“I just could not imagine playing against someone like Adama Traore with empty stands.
“I mean, it would just be terrifying.”
It seems as if Robertson does not envy anyone who has to face the Wolves winger for the rest of the season.
Is Traore the most explosive winger in the Premier League?
Yes, he is brilliant
No, he could be better
TIF Thoughts…
Robertson makes some valid points about Traore because he has had a superb season averaging an incredible 7.6/10 rating in the Premier League. He has also scored four goals and provided nine assists in the league.
Two of those assists have come since the restart, so it looks like he is in fine shape.
Last season the Wolves winger made 29 Premier League appearances and scored one goal and provided one assist.
So, this season he has taken his game to another level.
It is no surprise then to see Robertson praising Traore, who has had a great season for the Old Gold.
