Even tho I agree with what a lot of people are saying about us not paying big money for somebody who is going to warm the bench, one thing I love about Traore is that he wouldn't be as much of bench warmer as some seem to think and that's mainly because he can play anywhere on the right flank.
Need to give TAA a rest? No problem. Want to give Mo a rest no problem. Wanna rotate the squad and have Origi play instead of Bobby and want someone to feed him good crosses from the RB or RW position, no problem. Want for a reason or another, for a game, to switch to 3 at the back and need somebody with a bit more physicality and speed than TAA to start at RWB, still not a problem.
Of course, all of these situations might end up not happening that often, but I was just trying to make the point that he wouldn't be as much of a bench warmer than somebody like Shaqiri because he is less one dimensional in terms of what he can bring to a game.
