Seems to do well now and again. (Good record this season, but largely seen as a sub by most of the Arsenal fans I know).
When he’s good he’s great, but at times anonymous.
Indifferent towards him, disappointing the way he left, but hey-ho!

I liked him as a player with us, and still enjoy seeing him do well. Although the manner of his leaving was a bit regrettable, it wasn’t , for me, anywhere near the same scale as Caicedo or Cucurella.

Quality player, anyone having a pop, just remember the good times, he was quality for us more often than not.

How soon is now?
I commented this last night to my son as they trapsed off at half time.
He was a decent player for us, shame he left in a shitty manner
Ha. We’ve called that ref (Clement Taupard?) ‘Trossard’ in our household for years!
absolute ringers.

Was and remains a quality player.
However downed tools on us and therefore will always be a bad leaver, won’t forgive him for that ever, wanker

The amount of times he got the ball in the box and didn’t score meant I was happy to see him go.

Caicedo and Cucurella are both idiots. Led on by their greedy, money grubbing agents who were probably more interested in their cut than the players’ welfare and future. The players both ended up in a toxic club and I would imagine will be shipped out for a cut price fee with their previous reputations in tatters.
It will be hard to ship out players on massively long and lucrative contracts. That's the challenge Chelsea now have. Hehe

I think his actions fully justifies the existence of a thread of the messageboard of a previous club with his name spelt wrong.
Nothing's changed.........mercurial talent, prone to the occasional in-match disappearance and acted unprofessionally to get his move. Still a BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO from me when he plays against us.

Absolute tosser. I would never ‘celebrate’ an Arsenal victory as most did on here yesterday, especially not with him scoring, European qualification notwithstanding.

Don't like him because of the way he left. He made a big deal about blaming De Zerbi, but it was Trossard who threw his toys out of the pram to force a move. Also not happy with Arsenal clearly tapping him up and turning his head to force the move.
I used to love him, and he was fantastic in the final 18 months with the club. But frankly the way he downed tools, culminating in the shittest performance imaginable as a sub at Charlton, broke my heart. I won't rewrite history - he was a good player for us - but I don't get any pleasure watching him do well at Arsenal, and I don't mind Arsenal.

Tosser of course for how he left. I find it amazing he’s not used more by them as always seems to do well. However I distinctly remember him in an interview saying he won’t go somewhere just to sit on the bench and that’s EXACTLY what he’s done for the majority of the last 14 months or so 
It's interesting to hear that the taken story is that Leandro downed tools to force a move to Arsenal. I've heard a slightly different take for what it's worth.
Leandro came back from the 2022 World Cup heartbroken at his exclusion from the Belgian starting XI during the tournament. He had (rightly in my opinion) felt he'd done enough to warrant more of a place in the team than the now decrepit and unfit Hazard and felt his treatment by Martinez had blocked any opportunity for him to succeed with the national team on the World Cup stage. After the tournament, the club were unable to bring him out of his malaise (like they did with the Ecuadorian trio) and he decided that he wanted to leave for a new challenge - the focus was now to be on domestic success rather than international. He had a fallout with De Zerbi in this moment that left a bit of a sour taste in everyone's mouths. The club then rejected lowly offers of around £10m-15m from an unnamed European side (Marseille I think) and Tottenham - he would've liked either move and was upset by the club rejecting them. The club got a cordial offer from Arsenal (as their pursuit of Mudryk had failed) and everything was agreed mid-window and off he went.
Arsenal then rocked the boat later in the window by acting a bit differently in their unsuccessful pursuit of Caicedo.
I've got no issue with Trossard. He played 116 games for us and was superb in his time at the Albion. It's a shame how it ended but let's be serious, if he didn't leave it wouldn't have carved out the space for Enciso, Mitoma and Mac to dominate his positions in the second half of the season.

Or Sanchez
Led by money grabbing agents that just so happen to be paid by Caicedo and Cucurella specifically to make these moves happen. Don't get me wrong, agents are a stain on the game, but let's not pretend that they weren't doing exactly what Caicedo and Cucurella were paying them to do. Caicedo changed agents in January precisely to force a move through
These aren't poor naive young lads being badly advised. They hired an agent to get them a "big move" and got it. Gutted it didn't work out for them...
Trossard is one of those weird ones that we never seem to talk about since he left. The Chelsea mugs get battered, Mac Allister gets lots of love, as does (to a lesser extent) Bissouma and White, but Trossard seems largely forgotten.
In all honestly, I tend to want most of our players sold for big fees to go on to do well, unless the sign for Chelsea, in which case I couldn't care less.
