[Football] Leandro Trossard **Sold To Arsenal 20/01/2023**

Shirley we will not replace him but promote from within. I know Kardra is on loan but IMO is worth a place in next season’s squad

He is a long way off a team with top half PL ambitions

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Which makes Trossard’s behaviour of trying to force a transfer to a Big 6 even more silly - he could be playing more minutes of Euro/Champions football ball with us for the last few years of his career than warming benches at the Big 6/7

Agree - but he would no doubt be earning (minimum) twice as much.

Adringa much closer. Khadra needs at least the rest of the season (at Brum) a) starting and b) contributing, to be even close IMHO.

 

[TugWilson]

Well, it is probably technically true in a lot of cases - but nothing stopping clubs from speaking with the agencies, just the player directly (though surely that happens as well).

It is indeed the players market these days but for a 100 years it wasn't and that was equally bad. Slavelike conditions until 1963 and then absurd ones until 1995.
Player power won't decrease until there is some sort of salary cap which seems far away.

We all know the top 6-7 are never going to allow a salary cap , it`s how they keep the rest of us below them , can you imagine us competing with them as we are currently ! . They already get the benefit of VAR ( Rashford in the Manc derby ) Welbeck opening day ( should of been a pen and 3-0 ) the ref that day was from Manchester .

Most importantly it would take some power away from bottom feeding agents , one way or another it`s as slanted as the old Huish Park .

 

[Swansman]

Atletico Madrid and Barcelona fighting about whether Depay should move to the former for £3m or £5m really says all you need to know about the football finances in Europe right now.

Would be much preferable if there was a chance to ship him abroad rather than to a competitor, but struggle to see how that would happen.

Sky have just put one of their vids out. Are they In The Know? Fee agreed?

 

[The Wizard]

He was definitely in Lancing yesterday, saw him driving down Grinstead Lane.

All gone very quiet, which would suggest there may be some kind of agreement in place, one way or another.

 

[WhingForPresident]

I'd be very surprised if he ended up at Chelsea. Would be a fitting signing for them though.

It may be best for all parties to meet in the middle for the next 2 weeks until a bid comes in. Brighton get a bit more money by showing the player hasn't become a useless asset to keep, and Trossard recovers his reputation a bit by resolving this nonsense.

Also true - just a case of whether he was talking boll*x when he said he did‘t want to sit on the bench - tbh though I think if he goes or stays he will be a rotational player from now anyway, given RDZs imperative to develop younger players and given the competition for start ups in the deep squads of the Big 6 - if money makes Tross’s World spin round so be it.

Enlightening discussion on the Arse forum

Leandro Trossard

He has looked brilliant for Brighton this forum but they’re a very well run club and it’s hard to know how good he’d be outside that bubble. Mentality also a concern.

For all the revisionism going on in this thread, he is a very decent Prem player. I'd rather everyone kissed and made up - he can still be a game changer for us.

If he doesn't go in this window, he'll go in the summer anyway - for less.

Might as well cash in now.

 

[Justice]

Canf really blame him it would be his last chance of a big wage contract with Arsenal or Chelsea considering his age.
Shame he threw his toys out the pram but then we don’t know the fulll story.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

I'd be very surprised if he ended up at Chelsea. Would be a fitting signing for them though.

If Potter actively encourages the signing of a player that - from first hand experience - he knows blows hot and cold and is prone to sulks and dark moods, then he's even more of a benny than was previously thought

 

[brighton_tom]

If someone offers what Tony believes is his value then we should take the offer. I'd love him to stay and help us achieve another great season, but the reality is that for whatever reason he's currently unhappy and unmotivated. That feeling may linger through the season until we then sell him for less in the summer. If someone stumps up around £25m-£30m i'd take it, knowing we're likely fine even if we dont replace him. March and Mitoma are on fire, and we have plenty of youth coming through for his position in Sarmiento, Adingra, Buonanotte, Ferguson, and Enciso.

Am I one of the only ones to hope and pray he’s still an albion player when this window shuts?

I'm with you if he can get past this come February 1st, keep this group together and see what we can achieve

Umm I hope rather than pray he's still with us providing he knuckles down and shows the commitment. If he doesn't want to play for us then sooner we are rid the better.
