James Troisi

[Tyrone Biggums]

Apparently we are in talks with him.

Recalled Socceroos attacker James Troisi is in negotiations over a multi-year deal with Premier League newcomers Brighton and Hove Albion.

The article:

Despite also being linked with a return to Newcastle United - the club where it all began for Troisi as a teenager - sources in England suggest that the 28-year-old looks poised to join the Seagulls instead.

Free agent Troisi, who is camp with the Socceroos ahead of Thursday's defining World Cup qualifier against Saudi Arabia at Adelaide Oval, never made a Premier League appearance during his four years at St James' Park, having signed as a 17-year-old.

If the Brighton deal goes through, it will present a second chance for Troisi to break through at English football's elite level.

A move to the south coast would represent a ninth club for the nomadic Troisi, who excelled at Melbourne Victory last season but has opted to leave after failing to reach terms on an upgraded marquee contract.

Sources in the UK suggest while Troisi would be closely looked at by coach Chris Hughton as a potential member of his first team squad next season, there is also the possibility he could be loaned elsewhere, as was the case when he signed for Juventus back in 2014.

Such a move could lead to Brighton making a quick killing should it lead to a subsequent on-sale.

Troisi didn't end up making a senior appearance for Italy's super power club but would back himself to force himself into contention with Brighton, in a move which would represent a significant opportunity for him to prove himself in a division bereft of Australians.

It's understood the move could be officially announced later this week in what would represent Troisi coming full circle after career stopovers in Turkey, Italy, Belgium, Australia, Saudi Arabia and China.

Uninspiring if true.

Australian Gary Gardner.

In the (admittedly only 5 or 6) games I've seen, he CONSTANTLY gives up possession, by trying his luck from miles out, when others are better placed.

Something of a world soccer slag then.

Atalanta
On 22 August 2012 Juventus F.C. signed him as free agent on a four-year contract, but half of the registration rights was sold to Atalanta for €2 million as part of Manolo Gabbiadini's deal on 24 August 2012.[10] Norwich City manager Chris Hughton confirmed in a press conference that the club had made an enquiry into his availability.[11]

CH might rate him, I don't.

Am I missing something? Is there anything to suggest that this guy is good enough for the PL?

Nope, not a thing. Hope it's just rubbish reporting.

 

[Pavilionaire]

He's 29 in a month's time. Journeyman. An underwhelming prospect.

Sounds like you've described the Australian Steven Gerrard...

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

I do not believe this.

 

[ofco8]

Certainly not the level of footballer I am hoping for. Must be a lot better out there with those years of experience.

 

[TSB]

No chance. Just like the other really uninspiring midfield signing listed on here recently.

A source close to the club says we're pursuing big-name signings. This no-mark will no be one of those.

Is that 17 players we are in negotiations with now, or have I lost track ?

Gary Gardner

I won't acknowledge him as a footballer

Is that his record ?

Can't see this being true if it is. I have a feeling anyone signed will have had experience in one of the top leagues in Europe. Either that or young with bags of potential. When Spurs took Berbatov they only did so because he had already played in the German Bundisleague.
