Why has the Benrhama thing gone quiet?

I know there has been a lot of chat on here about him and he splits opinion - but if Palace get him for 20m, I think that is a fantastic buy.

I am not at all convinced by Traore and for similar money would rather go with Benrhama (even if i can't spell his name! ) .

But will be delighted if Traore prove me wrong :)

I have seen Palace are no longer interested.

Why are you not convinced with Traore MV.
And on Benrahma, there are plenty saying he has got no prem pedigree, so you can`t win can you.
We will have to wait and see, I trust our new approach and Vision.

Like most wingers Traoré has his off days, but when he’s on it MV, he’s unstoppable.

Don’t think Palace can do anything, until Zaha is moved on . Saw an interview with Woy sorry Roy, earlier and he seemed frustrated. Personally I wouldn’t mind Benrahma, the link with Watkins speaks for itself.
Onwards&Upwards Villaforever.

Traore has power and skill and plenty of tricks but I am not convinced about the final ball. I don't think he is a step up on Trezeguet.

To be fair though, I would have said the same a year ago about Adama Traore but he has become so consistent - maybe Traore's take a while to bloom :D certainly hope so, and I do see plenty at Villa at the moment to believe in and get really excited about.

Djimmi Traore didn't bloom at all!

Benrahma doesn’t want to leave London by all reports, so probably best to leave that one there.

Traore is no doubt talented, but he struggled massively last year, and it’s well documented, so I doubt we’ll be pinning all hopes on him, I expect we’ll see another wide man coming in as well as him.

Read some great articles about Traore. and why it didn’t work for him last year. Managerial changes leading to formation change, and he struggled the games he did get pushed back to RWB. In our system, he’ll fly.

The Benrahma situation is interesting, as he clearly had a brilliant season, but he played Jack’s role, wide left cutting in. He doesn’t have pace, and that seems to be what we’re looking for. There’s clearly confirmed interest in Rashica, it’s just whether we win that race. Rumours are it’s just the fee and we’re only €2m apart?

I don’t think the fee is the problem with Rashica he just thinks he should be playing at a level above us, and is waiting for a club who has qualified for Europe to come in for him. We should move on to other targets if he signs does well and another club comes in for him, we will have a Ryan Fraser situation on our hands. It’s interesting that all the so called interested clubs have baulked at buying him is it because of the size of the fee? well it isn’t an exhorbitant amount being asked for, or is it because the player is a bad apple?
