Who are the responsibles for loaning Traore?
Until yesterday I though Traore asked to be loaned to Ajax, but today reports says that was not the case, these are his declarations.
"I felt, and feel, that I am ready for Chelsea. I did not see the loan overall [picture]. Why did I play so much in pre-season? "
“Why was I allowed to participate so often under Guus Hiddink [last season]? Why do young players get no real chance at Chelsea?"
Traore and Moses were the real performers in preseason. Why was he loaned? Conte has several assistants who provide advise over players, specially if he was a new manager. Who told him keep Loftus Cheek and loan Traore? The same who told him Terry was fit as a toddler for another season ? Who is working for the media machine inside Chelsea? We bring new players to keep performing at top level, why is not the same with assistant coaches? Can not be the new manager fault to know all his players, but for the previous staff is not aceptable. Loaning Traore is inaceptable. What kind of moron can't see the reality of Traore, not potential, but reality! Are we going to repeat the DeBruine and Lukaku errors? Who are the responsibles of this? The same who proposed Loftus Cheek? The same who told Conte Terry was real deal?
The media machine troyan horses have allies inside Chelsea staff. Who are they? Conte knows the truth who gave him twisted advise at Chelsea when he first come! For the sake of Chelsea he must address the solution so this will not happen again. Good honest players deserve to be protected over mediocre astute ones! Complicit assistants need to be removed.
