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

[dazzer6666]

Thanks for the good times Leo, enjoy the extra cash and those nice comfy chairs on the Arsenal bench.

Next!

 

[Machiavelli]

Nonsense. Potter fell out with Ryan and Maupay and Cucurella handed in a transfer request.

My overall feeling on this is surprise at how little we've missed him. Would have been third or fourth name on my teamsheet at the start of the season. But with Mitoma, Sarmiento and now Buonanotte as succession plans I think we can cash in on a want-away 28 year old. I won't give him much grief on his return, he certainly gave us a bit more in terms of service than Marc "one season" Cucurella. Just a shame he seemed to hibernate in mid-winter.

Precisely. If you'd told me in August or September that we'd lose Trossard in January, I'd have considered it to be a disaster. Now I'm somewhat indifferent to it, despite rating Tross highly for a long time.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Think £27m is good business and a decent deal all round for us, Trossard and Arsenal.

He's been a quality player for us, hope he now goes on and gets a league winners medal. We can move on, we've already got a better player in his position now in Mitoma anyway and hopefully we can use some of this money to fund the purchase of another wonderkid.

 

[Icy Gull]

Shame that he got away with behaving like he did and managed to force this through. Sets a precedent

 

[Napper]

Must admit when we got to the prem I assumed the days of our best players fking off first opportunity were over.

Worse than its ever been in that regard.

Literally zero chance of entering the top 6 and staying there unless you become the same as the rest with wages ... and even then we'd still be viewed as small

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Please can we spend some of it? We are running out of experienced replacements.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Finally off to Arsenal for £20million + add ons to £27million according to SSN.

 

[Napper]

at least we are not losing a song

 

[Seagull27]

Little disappointed it's only 27m as, pre world cup at least, I think he could have been in the 35-40m bracket with 18 months left. There's not many players Arsenal could buy that cheap with a proven record in the PL. But given the circumstances post world cup, it's probably a good deal all round.

Echoing others on here, shame it ended how it ended, but no lasting animosity from me. Thanks for the goals and memories, good luck except against us. Long live Mitoma.

 

[Algernon]

I hope Webster kicks him straight up in the air when he comes off the bench on the 87th minute when we meet next.

 

[Machiavelli]

Shit happens... not everyone gets along with everybody. Perhaps Trossard would fall out with GP as well given the circumstances, perhaps he wouldn't. Perhaps RDZ would be best buddies with Mat Ryan, Florin Andone or Ali Jahanbaksh that didn't like GP, or perhaps not.

No big deal. Bringing up the poor relations in media was a bad decision though as there's little point in telling everyone that relations have broken down (meaning the club will be eager to get rid of the player) since by any logical thinking it makes the club have a pretty poor position in any negotiation with a club that wants to buy him

Not even on NSC?

 

[brighton_tom]

£27m including the add ons

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

I hope that Webster kicks him straight up in the air when he comes off the bench at the 87th minute when we meet next.

And then does the ‘binocular eyes’ and watches him crash back down to the turf through them.

We've had him between the ages of 24 and 28 which could be argued are his prime years (I can't see him getting a lot better now). So it's not as if we are losing him at the first opportunity

And we still have AliMac, Mitoma, Pervs, Big Bob, Solly, Webster all in their prime and have certainly had the best years of Lewis and Pascal, together with the best bunch of exciting youngsters ever. It's not all doom and gloom

 

[Insel affe]

Oh well, that is a shame, it did not have to end like this, but such is life.

Thanks Leo, your were a pleasure to watch in the blue & white, plenty of happy memories for us all to remember.
Good luck breaking into that team, I am sure you will make an impact.

 

[BBassic]

Oh well. He's retroactively failed the No Dickhead's Policy.

Not a bad day for him though. Big pay rise and maybe a PL winners medal to sit on the bench.

What, before play has restarted? Gets my vote

If the deal is signed by midday Friday then he can play against United on Sunday, let's hope there's a glitch and nothing goes through until late on Friday.
