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

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

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.

Precisely.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

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

Well l expect Trossard will be spending a lot of time warming the seat next to you!

Seen a lot of clickbaity headlines regarding Trossard, Mac Allister and Caicedo lately, all very innocent answers to questions about Chelsea and Potter.

 

[Justice]

With Potters spending power why would sign Trossard? Better options available.

Is it just me or why can't these players just keep quiet? We know most or all of them would accept an offer from a 'big' club if one is made but its a little ungrateful to be touting yourself for that move while picking up decent wages elsewhere. If Chelsea want him they'll make an acceptable offer if not tough.

Awkward when a journalist ask you a question, quite often with a TV camera, and you just stay completely quiet. I'd be more worried about that than this answer tbh.

Standard fare, player goes back home on international duty interview. Nothing to see here.

A few of the usual platitudes wouldn't hurt ' concentrating on my football' 'one game at a time' etc etc. We all know the truth but the implication that I'm just baking about here until a better offer appears is a bit insulting.

It’s just a nonsense click bait story, but it’s why we need to keep buying and developing quality players. Players like Trossard, Caicedo and Mac Allister will play for us for 2-4 seasons then be sold. Our recruitment strategy and training facilities are key to our success. If and when we get to Europe, we’ll hopefully keep our better players for longer, some may renew or extend their contracts. UTA.

Difficult to just keep quit in an interview. They have to say something, I think Trossard saying he would not want to be a bit part player at any club is as good as him saying he would not neccessarily jump at the chance to go to Chelsea.

 

[Motogull]

We'd better boo him to be on the safe side.

 

[BluesRockDJ]

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

Won't fancy Champioship football next season !!

 

[OSRGull]

I don’t really care if he wants to go or not, what I do care about is any player talking out publicly about a possible move away. It shouldn’t be happening no matter who’s in for what player.

[Is it PotG?]

He's hardly a Brighton badge kisser.

First decent shout he'll be off, fair enough.

 

[macbeth]

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.

doesn't that just make everyone angrier when they leave though? seem to remember cucurella's crying and badge kissing after that goal vs united was a significant source of ire when it became clear he actually wanted to go and play for a big 6 team

 

[saafend_seagull]

He’s never going to be starting regular for them, so it’s a no go.

He was always gonna go in January or next Summer regardless if that dude went to Chelsea or not. No point imo to stress about it one way or the other.

 

[Mancgull]

This will be the type of dilemma Potter faces, amongst others. Go for your old players and then be accused of favouritism by the other players, or go for someone who doesn’t demand first team football.
I think that Potter has the intellect not to burden himself with a signing like Trossard. Caicedo may be different as I genuinely think there will be huge interest in him between major clubs and having an advantage in signing him would assist Potter. Having said that Caicedo is a United fan and I think if United want him they would get him, so long as they meet our asking price.
You just have to look at Bissouma going to Spurs, it doesn’t guarantee a player fame and game time.

Meh we’ve had some good stuff out of Tross, he deserves a shot. Just a shame it’ll be with Chelsea, hopefully we’ll be charging them more for our players than anyone else.

Well l expect Trossard will be spending a lot of time warming the seat next to you!

I'll be happy to give him my autograph!
