And no, it doesn't count if it's the agent, as the agent can't offer him to anyone.
Of course they can. They can try and get a deal moving with both sides, but finding out who might be interesting and suggesting what his player might want to the buying club can help move things along

think he either needs to sign a new deal or go in january. in some cases it would be possibly a good option to keep the player as long as possible and risk losing them on a free (18mths in leo's case), but I don't think that applies here.

far too inconsistent for us to not try and get the highest fee we can for him. think it's very likely he'll need replaced at some point, the more money we have to do that with the better

We’d probably be the first club in PL history to sell their top scorer in 2 consecutive windows !

He has been playing with a face like a smacked ass for the last 2 games. I suspect he wants out.

Indeed. He is infuriatingly inconsistent for a top 7 side. Hope he stays though. :albion2:
Agree very doubt he's on a top team's radar. He certainly didn't grab headlines in the WC (Not like George Michael)

Why the question mark?

"offered to Liverpool". Right, so bloom phoned up Liverpool saying 'he's really good, definitely worth an offer'.

No.

And no, it doesn't count if it's the agent, as the agent can't offer him to anyone.
Hesitation on my part, in case nsc has a Ben Jacobs fanboy who’d laid down the law that he’s a genius on transfer news.

Probably bullshit, but his agent wouldn’t be doing his job if he wasn’t trying to find a move. Personally not sure I can see it. He’s a very good player, but not sure he’s a ‘premier league’ top 3-4 player
On his day, imho, he’d fit in a Citeh first 11. Just as good as Mahrez for example.

But too many games or halves where you’d fail to notice that he’s on the pitch.

Leandro Trossard has been offered to Liverpool and Chelsea? By who, I wonder? The Albion? - no, I seriously doubt that. His agent, scurrying around in search of a big pay day? - well, let's think...............

Maybe, perhaps?

I think that’s a fair assessment. He’s 28 now so I’m just not overly convinced he’s ‘that’ attractive to clubs above us, especially with a Brighton price tag on him

Owning clubs always work with agents. The agent will want to know the club’s position on fee, contract status (intention to renew, expected salary, etc). Chances are, if true, it’s very much with the club’s blessing.

He’s obviously off. Pretty clear after he didn’t sign a new deal in the summer. Don’t blame him - at 28 last chance of a big money move. Expect his performances will raise again in April and off he goes in the summer (we won’t sell him in January).

Would be surprising if Brighton did not try to sell him either now (if there's a very good replacement on the radar) or in the summer. He's value will decrease by each passing day at this point.

Probably he'd like to move as well but don't think he is desperate.

Absolutely the agent can, with the club’s blessing.

He’d be off if Liverpool, Arsenal or Chelsea wanted him, but they all seem to have better/ higher priority options. Doubt Newcastle think he’s a priority. Expect Belgium’s performance and his lack of game time in the World Cup didn’t help his profile.
He would be best getting his head down and scoring a few goals in the second half of the season to encourage a bid from a top 6 club in the summer. He’ll be gone then if he doesn’t sign a new contract. Just hope he doesn’t do a Maupay on us. ( the strop not the missing from 3 yards).
