I would have thought that he'd be one of those who might get a squad place if pedro was to leave

He wasn't even selected to go on their preseason tour I don't think so isn't in their plans
Nothing but a Spanish rumour according to the Echo, I don't think there is anything in this story.
Heard so much about this kid, but is he actually any good?
Amongst adults does he stand out, or was it just a men against boys thing when he was hyped up a few years back?

Not saying I'm sure how good he is, but we definitely need those kinds of qualities. Those statistics indicate he has little trouble taking players on.
He'll be an awesome signing for Liverpool, seriously hope it doesn't happen.
Wait why are Barca giving up on him at such a young age? Or is it a loan deal? Whats going on here.
It's going to be a loan deal, I don't think United would be interested in loaning players from Barcelona.
Pool with 2 of the top 5 dribblers? 
Probably sell him with a buy back clause and if he becomes decent buy him back for peanuts. Easy loan system really.
His style is a little like Zaha's.
I don't think this guy will make it but I could be wrong. No chance United are in for him.
Mundo Deportivo saying he's chosen Stoke ahead of Villa and Liverpool.
Bertrand > Adama.
Based on nothing.

Can't imagine Liverpool would've been happy with a buy back clause.

ESPN is saying that he is set for Villa though.

Stoke in the mix now.
Guess he agrees with me
Stoke is building a youthful decent side there.
Aston Villa have agreed to Barcelona’s request to include a buy-out clause in their agreement for Adama Traore.
The Villans have reportedly beaten off competition from Liverpool and Stoke City for the signature of the talented youngster from Barcelona this summer.
The 19-year-old has signed a three-year contract with Tim Sherwood’s men, with an option for a fourth year, meaning he could stay at Villa Park until 2019.
The Villans are expected to pay a fee of around €10m for the player and according to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona have inserted a buy-back option in the agreement with Aston Villa.
The Catalan giants are aware of the talent that Adama possesses and are unwilling to lose sight of a player who they feel has the potential to become world class in the future.
Adama has already undergone a medical with Aston Villa and the Premier League giants are expected to make a formal announcement soon.
Liverpool were keen to snap up the Barcelona starlet and Stoke City were also keen to add him to their array of La Masia graduates this summer.
The winger turned out for Barcelona B last season but with the team being relegated to the third tier of Spanish football, the youngster was keen to play at a higher level this term.

Good signing for Villa this lad, saw him a few times last season. Looks pretty good.
If he is successfull, they will buy him back. Good for Villa, but wouldnt be something for us.
Really excited to see this fella play. Don't know why, sometimes you just have a feeling.
Villa is a good move for him, plenty of first team action which he wouldn't have got at Liverpool.

Kinda bummed we didn't get this one. Wouldn't have been an interesting player.
Think it's a smart move by Traore and Villa. Everything I've read he's a really exciting young prospect that needs minutes on the pitch.
Sherwood is a good young manager who wants to play attacking football and I'm sure will give Traore plenty of time on the field.

I guess Villa are just a bigger lure these days. Must have been The Sherwood effect.
Probably the buy back clause is why other teams pulled out of the deal.
yeah, but being beaten to a signing by Dim Sherwood must be devastating for Liverpool and its fans.
Made his debut for Villa coming of the bench today. His pace is absolutely frightening.
Scarily quick. His game looks a bit simple - knock it past defender and chase - but a lot of full-backs will struggle and if he can add end product to that nothing wrong with using a strength like that.
He's a fecking tank
Feck me, he's rapid add a better final ball and he's going to be amazing.
Reminds me of when Valencia did that to defenders for fun

Incredible speed. Has the talent to be a very good player.
19 years old with pace like that... Good luck, Premiership full backs across the land.
Did Barca insert a buyback clause?
Yes. There is a buyback clause. Don't think he'll ever be a Barca player though.
I think he's the quickest player that I know of. Physically he can become unreal once he fully grows up. This was him with 17:
Very curious to see what level he can reach with sheer physicality and speed like that.
And we thought Memphis was muscular! As soon as I saw the video I thought blimey this kid is stacked.
Looks a real talent. Still a bit raw and needs to improve that end product but he looks like he could be a top top player. He's got pace to burn and seems comfortable cutting inside or going outside.

Exciting talent, no doubt. He still has a lot to do to work on in his game as he remains a raw gem atm. It's been clear from the start though that he was going to enjoy a ton of space in England which would force fullbacks to sit back or rely on cover to prevent him from constantly getting past them. Raw as hell but will be hard not to play him, has a rare combination of strength, dribbling & acceleration
From what I've seen in clips he looks to he good enough to be a regular for villa once he's settled down. I can see why he's being introduced slowly at the moment though. But he certainly seems to have a lot more about him than Jordan Ayew.
