[Albion] Trossard

We missed the "turned up for the big games" version. A Wembley semi would qualify.
Bonkers that anyone thinks we couldn't do with Trossard in our squad right now. Sure we didn't miss him greatly with the rise of Mitoma and the up turn in Sollys form but what a hell of a replacement he would be when one of those needed a rest or playing as a 9 while Ferguson is out.

always found his unwillingness to share the ball rather frustrating, especially in our on half.

Same. I’d be happy if he was playing for us, but he isn’t. We’ve moved on, so has he, got a decent fee all things considered. No hard feelings towards Leandro.

And that's going to be a fully fired up and motivated Trossard having played second fiddle to those two (and an 18 year old up front) for however long? There are quite a lot of variables at play with managing ~25 football-hungry individuals, and the manner of his exit suggests he's towards the "higher maintenance" end of that particular spectrum.

Did he forget who he was playing for.

Who's he?
Despite this, he looked absolutely broken at the end. He went to Arsenal for a medal. It’s quite poetic seeing his face post match as he realised that his trophy cabinet will be empty this season.

One of the main reasons I didn’t want them winning it! Absolute karma. He was great for us and could have left in a much much better way - shame as he’s a great player.

f*** him
My thoughts exactly.
Sulking his way out of the Amex to the Emirates was not a good look was it!

I wonder if he is still entitled to some of the bonus for the players if we get Europe which is the reason for his assist as he won't be getting his league winners bonus now

He thought he was better than us.
His slip cost them any chance of winning the title.
He who laughs last.

I don't get the hate. On his day, he was brilliant for Brighton and the club made decent money from his move to Arsenal.
No, he won't win the PL this season. But he'll be playing CL football, he's earning better money and is part of a team that will be genuinely challenging for the title. There was no guarantee he would be doing any of them with Brighton.
Yes, he could've behaved a bit better before he left, but he's gone and everyone has moved on...

strong and stable with me, or...
Might be because we just played his team off the park?
I don’t hate Leo or Ben, but I absolutely relished and doubly enjoyed their torment today - Trossard having an assist for our second was special.
Spot on. People need to rewatch his performance in that Chelsea home game to remember him properly. Yes, sulking to engineer a move isn't a good look, but none of us know what really happened behind closed doors to get to that point. And gloating at him now isn't a good look either. He was a good servant to this club.
