[Albion] Leandro Trossard SIGNS ON A FOUR-YEAR DEAL

[chaileyjem]

Well Izzy is always injured. And guess what ...this guy is injury prone too

If the definition of injury prone is playing 47 games in a season, scoring hatfuls of goals and assists and captaining your club/ winning the league title then bring it on.

So looks like from Brussels, all BA flights go to LHR, last one landed around 09:45, so he could be on his way the M25 as we speak....I'm sensing a deja vou moment for some reason.

If he's that fast, he'll have to slow down for the new Pritchard speed cameras on M25!

What airport that? Not Heathrow or Gatwick.

His missus (?) has a nice rack.
But why does he look like he is being flanked by Russian heavies?

The tweet says before he travelled.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Belgium I would imagine. Before take off.

The nearest airport to Genk is Maastricht.

What's all this stuff about playing 'attacking football'?

What you say is true

Top stuff and I wholeheartedly agree. At this level, proven quality or 'next big thing' signings are virtually impossible for a club like us, with the current wage structure and sustainable business model. Therefore, as you say, ALL of our signings are a risk to a greater or lesser extent. A championship player might not be able to step up, even after blazing 25 goals last time around... Look at David Nugent, couldn't deliver after being tipped as the nest big thing. Ultimately the signings from Holland, Belgium etc. represent the same risk, but (in all likelihood) for lesser wages and potentially a bigger profit on a future sale... whilst at the same time, probably costing us less (in tangible losses) if they fail and return to the EU.

I thought he was supposed to be on honeymoon in Spain?

Mental to think was less than 10 years ago we broke the club record to sign Glenn Murray for 300k. Can clearly remember the buzz this created and how it felt like we were one of the big boys chucking money about.

Look now !!!

 

[We're the Stripes]

I'm still trying to get my head around the fees that Little Old Brighton are now paying for players. 20 Million Euros for one player-incredible.

And that the press (I assume) are bothered enough by our transfer activity to be roaming airports hoping to snap our new signings. Can’t say I’ve seen that before.

It was over 11 years ago. Time flies.

Fled to London

Racing Genk says goodbye to Leandro Trossard (24). The champion maker goes for nearly 20 million euros to the Premier League and Brighton, where he is undergoing medical tests today and will sign a five-year contract. This morning the Limburg winger left via Zaventem and London towards the south coast of England. “I have a very good feeling at Brighton and I also had a personal conversation with the coach (Graham Potter, ed.) That convinced me. He wants to attack and I fit in that picture. It is also a club that can give me playing minutes so that I can evolve further. As a true Genkenaar it is of course not easy to leave this family club behind me, but I am ready for a new adventure at Brighton. ”

****s sake. One day we'll learn but not in this division.

What...that we're going to be playing attacking football?

On the point that was discussed earlier about buying proven players ....... There’s a problem with proven players, quite often they don’t have anything left to prove.

The teams that went down the year before last were a good example, West Brom, Stoke and (to a lesser extent) Swansea were rammed full of “proven” premier league players. Gareth Barry, Charlie Adam, Bony, plus loads more. Great players when you’re half way up the league and winning more than you lose. None of them looked much like to me that they were fighting tooth and nail to stay up

Proven players also cost more to recruit and pay. We’ve got our recruitment strategy spot on. Though clearly we can’t expect a 100% success rate.

Just imagine when we start spending that kinda cash on players who are good!

Read into these comments however you like, but for me it says that, as much as I love and respect him, we wouldn't be making this signing if CH was still our manager

See Fulham for details. They had a bunch of unsuitable foreigners too.

Can you give me some names of some players you think we should be signing?

Not vague attributes but concrete names.

Thanks in advance
