Can't see a place - certainly not a regular starting one - for him at any of the 'Top Six' now. So, it's abroad, or Villa, Everton. Leicester, Forest I reckon ..................... or Palace. Abroad the most likely, I think.

I'm not as certain as others seem to be on here that it is over for him at The Albion.
De Zerbi has been very clear that his door is open, and that he is wanted in the team.
It is up to Leo now... and, sadly, his agent. Leo has always seemed like a decent bloke, but it sounds like he's made a mistake.
Whatever that mistake was, it sounds like it is easily redeemable.
I'm hopefully he will apologise, and crack on with the rest of the season a valued member of this outstanding Albion team.

You could be right. As the transfer window moves on and potentially there arent many serious bidders he might have a rethink and realise what a good thing he's throwing away. Its all so easily fixed. But I fear more likely is his agent continues to feed the issue.
What’s known as the full Dale Stephens in the business.I reckon a 180° turn would be better. If he goes 360°, don’t we just end up with the same sulking midfielder?
Imo it will go one of two ways, if a club offer us what we think is a reasonable fee for him, he'll be off this month. If not, the transfer window will slam shut and I think it would be very much in his best interests to reintegrate himself and start putting some effort in. Otherwise, his next move will be far less financially attractive for him than it could have been.
His agent is a bit stuck at the moment. He can either say 'oops, sorry, I've made a bit of a balls up, so could you go back with your tail between your legs - oh, and please don't fire me' or 'you're a great player and deserve to play at a top club and Brighton are wrong to be holding you against your will'.
It's pretty obvious the agent will go for the latter, hoping Brighton accept a bid. The question is whether we do, and if not, how Trossard then accepts the situation and tries to move on.
I think everyone would prefer a focused player, but he will have bridges to mend, and his attitude will need to be spot on.
As you suggest his agent may be the issue.

Which is French for Basse-Terre
Chelsea have signed Mudryk
Arsenal now after Raphina
Liverpool and Newcastlehave said he is not for them
That leaves Man Utd , Man City Tottenham left of top clubs apart from Brighton and Fulham to sign him.
He has reached his level with us . If he leaves he will be on a downward projectory
Expect him to be at West Ham in the Championship next year

Ok, so Moura is leaving at the end of his contract (already announced).
Gil only plays so Conte can show the board how bad he is to get them to fund signing a new player.
Perisic is top class but is used mostly as a wing back. Trossard would be competing with Son, who has been really poor this season, and Richarlison (who is often unavailable). He'd be in the side.
He may well get into their current team. But if you're pushing to get into the top 4 (presumably Tottenham's realistic aim), and you have the whole world to choose from and vast amounts of money to spend, is Trossard really the player you'd go for?
I find it hard to believe his agent would be thick enough to put out that statement unless he knew of concrete interest in Tross, but after looking at his list of clients, maybe he is just really bad at his job?
This either ends in Trossard leaving this January, or him sacking his agent... Surely?

Gil is younger and VERY similar. Kulusevski is far better and Son is far quicker. Richarlison is the next cab on that rank.
I posed this question to a couple of the Spurs fans on here and their opinions were pretty mixed. I think he'd be the next Bissouma there. Loved by Brighton but m'eh to WTF to their fans when he starts 10 games a season, scoring and assiting once.
Or told to buck up his ideas for the rest of the season and hope a proper bid comes in the summer.

What I find really odd is that Mac Allister was a World Cup winner yet comes back early and says how happy he is here. Yes, he may well be gone in the summer but he has shown respect and been totally professional whilst thanking the club for helping him achieve his dream. Then we have Trossard who played in an underachieving Belgian team who seemed very reluctant to give him the ball when he played, coming back and taking the piss in training sessions and then throwing a strop when pulled up for it.
It’s just bloody odd imo

The calf strain is an interesting one. Was fit to play Boro but did not get picked. Sounds like he’s done next to no training since. So how the hell did he end up with a calf strain?
