[Albion] Trossard dangling the 'come get me' to Chelsea

[Dancin Ninja BHA]

On the Mail online (yes I know!!)

interview with a Belgian paper / reporter basically saying that if Chelsea came in for him, he would like to go.

No surprises to be honest, he's one of the obvious ones that won't be with us next season, especially if he has a strong world cup.

But Chelsea may not want you Leo!! And you need to maintain your excellent form from throughout 2022 Leo if you want a move to a 'biggie' as it's only this year he's been consistently good, and hasn't been so erratic as he was 2021 - 2020

It'll be a shame but he's done a decent shift with us. If he goes let's get a top, top fee.

 

[Swansman]

If any player in Brighton got a offer from Chelsea, or City, or Liverpool, or PSG, or Barcelona, or Real Madrid, or probably even Arsenal or United - they would go.

If they didn't have the level of drive and ambition they do, they'd be playing in Exeter or something.

With only 18 months left on a deal, unlikely.

It’s a shame not many of our players give it the old ‘I’m happy where I am , focussed on helping my current club to another great season’ like most players would…

 

[Worried Man Blues]

He should wait till the end of the season to see what our new man does and where we end up!!!

 

[maresfield seagull]

Been twisted a little It quantity’s the issue by stating Not wanting to go sit on the bench

exactly...it'd be dreamland if we finish above Chelsea (so long as we're not both relegated!)

He's already said exactly that before, hasn't he ?

When asked a leading question about Chelsea then I'm not surprised he said what he said.

All we can do is wait and see.

The quote is

“Our coach did leave for Chelsea now but speculation about me following him makes no sense,” Trossard told newspaper Het Nieuwsblad while away on international duty with Belgium. “If the opportunity arises, I want to go. But I want to play and not sit on the bench.”

He also goes on to say he is excited to be working with De Zerbi

Thats' true actually, whether they meant it or not is an entirely different matter, but at least spouting the loyalty line would keep us fickle fans happy.

 

[Mancgull]

To be fair to him, he has stated that he’s happy at Brighton but would also see a move to a bigger club as an opportunity, if he plays regularly for them. It’s a very balanced and fair position to take.

No one could really blame him if he made the move, let's face it without our biased blue and while striped specs on, l fancy a large majority of us fans would do the same thing.

personally, with my ability, I'd be delighted to sit on Chelsea's bench and get paid!

Me too - but at my age the training would be far too much for me (just the warm up, that is)!

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

I think it’s fine. Strategically it may make sense to move players on quicker anyway. The club is all that counts not the individual.

Should we (or have we?) offered him a new (improved) contract? It would increase the price we might get for him - and with all the midfield/attacking options we've got coming through - Mitoma, Enciso, Kozlowski, Ferguson - Mwepu to settle and come good, Moder to return from injury (and probably one or two others I've forgotten) - the areas that he covers in the squad are going to be very crowded - he might not be guaranteed to start every match.

Of course he'd be off like a shot if a big club came in for him - he'd be daft not too. As for sitting on the bench, wherever he goes that's not going to be up to him - even here.

I suspect he would be sitting on the bench quite a lot at a "bigger club". You just have to look at Belgium, where he warms the bench even though rubbish players such as De Breuyne and Hazard have somehow managed to start ahead of him.

He has already seen what happens to players like Biss who make the move, so I don't think he would be swayed to go Chelsea or wherever.

He is one of those in-betweeners. I think if he wants Champions League or whatever, he may have to go abroad to get it

 

[Icy Gull]

Honest and reasonable comments by Leandro. He’ll not be getting a guarantee of playing time from any team at our level or above though.

Think he has improved a lot over the last year or so.

Maybe not Liverpool or City but I think he'd walk into the starting eleven of the others. If he was four or five years younger someone would have poured money on him last summer I think.
