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

[dejavuatbtn]

Nah. A winger who plays in the opposition half and scores goals? They’ll never agree to sign him.

 

[TSB]

We'll we're not going to be signing someone who's scored 14 goals from the wing in any of the top 5 leagues, that's for sure!

Let's focus on signing someone who scored five goals last season in one of the top 5 leagues. Our four wingers got 4 goals combined last season.

Not being able to sign excellence is not an excuse to sign sub-standard.
We've got plenty of the later already that needs off the books.

T'is a thing of beauty now, I'm quite emotional.

You've certainly earned a promotion to Transfer Window Second Lieutenant.


What a day to be alive.

That's going on my CV...

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Looks like we haven't learnt a thing, the Belgian league is worse than the Dutch

Well Tony with his vested interest certainly wouldn't agree . . .

 

[B.W.]

Good to see that we're learning from our mistakes at the usual speed.

Oh dear! Cheer up...

From the Genk forum:

"The fact that there is a PL team on Trossard offers is very good for us financially. But I would rather see Trossard at a nice club in the Bundesliga than such an ugly plow tail down from the PL. Also not immediately a competition that fits him perfectly. On the one hand I would say 'the only thing that interests us is catching as much as possible', but somewhere I would rather see our players and certainly their own youth product end up at a nice club, also in terms of continuing our international image. Brighton isn't that real, just like Atalanta, which is less than, say, AS Roma where Mali was also mentioned for a while."

Then you'll be happy that Southampton have just made a big money signing from there, and Villa have just broken their transfer record for a striker from Belgium. Teams around us spending money and not improving is a good sign.

We're a beautiful plow tail. They're just jealous.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

YES!!!!

Our first proper transfer rumour/saga of the season. About bloody time, the last month has been dull.

He looks a bit like a cross between knockaert and Izquierdo in his highlights video so based purely on that I'm in.

We do love buying a winger don't we?

We Plow and sow and reap and now, such useful men are we.

Left wing seems a position we have covered, maybe we’ve had offers for Solly.

Of course they only got 4 between them-they were played as defenders most of the time.

We don't. Of our four wingers, only Izquierdo is most comfortable on the left, and he's injured, and will be out for the start of the season.
Solly is not only better on the right, he's probably our best on the right in my view.

hmm not really covered. Izquierdo will be out till the New Year so by the time he is back match fit it will be April. Locadia plays there, just not very well then you have Solly who plays better on the right, and neither Solly or Knockeart look very good on the left.

Naylor says yes

Can we start thinking of songs for him yet??

Well it’s all about opinions isn’t it.

 

[southstandandy]

£18k or £18m?

Some of us have already started...

"This interest in Trossard would also explain why Graham Potter’s new side were interested in Theo Bongonda late on in the season, the man whom Genk recently signed to replace… Trossard."

Belgium is my favourite country in Europe that I've been to so on that ground alone I'm in
