Yacou Traore

[junos_boots]

I was mooching around on Boro website and saw that we have another Traore on the U19 books. I'm assuming he his no relation to Adama as all I could find on a quick search of the net is that he is another one who has come up from London.

I did find a story from earlier in the summer of the Boro juniors going to the Lakes for an outward bounds trip. Reminded me of the things we used to have to do in early days in new jobs back in the 80s!

Boro Youngsters Bond In The Lakes - League Football Education (LFE)

Middlesbrough’s first and second-year apprentices had the opportunity to develop several personal skills during a team-building day near Keswick in the Lake District.

I think Traore is as common as Smith in several African nations.

Looks like he came to us through Onside Football Academy in London. I think they pick up kids that are rejected by London clubs as youths and try and get them a path back into the pro game.

Have we got someone on the inside here? We seem to be picking up a lot of young players from London / South East recently.

Lennie doing us a favour again?

Maybe the guy from Norwich has been unofficially helping us out for a while.

I think its more likely a result of the reshuffle in the recruitment department as a whole. I know they brought a new bloke in a while back so maybe he is having an influence and has contacts, plus Warnock has been around the block more than a few times so he will have a yellow pages of contacts in the game(not to mention his coaches who have been in the game a long time). What ever the reason I'm happy.

Martin Carter who is our Academy Head of Recruitment is the one who's been scouting and getting these players in.

Praise from the club today after scoring his first goal. Destined for great things, hopefully.
