[Albion] Leandro Trossard SIGNS ON A FOUR-YEAR DEAL

[Icy Gull]

Didn’t Trossard state only a few weeks ago that he wouldn’t sign for a ‘big club’ if it meant being mainly on the bench?

I think he’ll go in the summer but I’ve just got a little feeling that it won’t be to Chelsea.

He did.

Maybe just maybe he also thinks Newcastle are a bunch of murderous sportwashers with disgusting human rights and has no interest in going there whatever wage they offer him. Just a thought

 

[Hugo Rune]

Plus he – or someone within the club – has probably identified Trossard's replacement or, if promoting from within, his replacement's replacement...

It’s going to be very difficult/almost impossible to replace Trossard with a player inside or outside the club in the short term unless we pay big, big money on a transfer. Trossard is a big time player now, 5 goals against Citeh, Liverpool and Chelsea says it all.

We’d need someone like Mudryk to come in and we’re never going to pay his transfer fee in a millions years (£50m+). It makes a January exit look unlikely for our sleepless Belgium gem even if we get several £40m+ offers. But at some point, we are going to need some goal scorers. Players like March, Welbeck and Lallana might be brilliant in other areas of the game but they are going to get us about half a dozen goals this season combined. If Tross goes, who scores?

Dunno, but I wondered who would play at Left Back when Cucurella moved, how we would cope defensively without Bissouma, and who our Manager/Coach would be when Potter bugged out. All these questions were met with very satisfactory answers in the end, so I am giving up fretting over departures until we stop replacing them with upgrades.

Chelsea report: Blues to sign Leandro Trossard for £30m

Chelsea morphing into Brighton and Hove Albion? The Blues want Leandro Trossard after nabbing Graham Potter and Marc Cucurella

The actual source for this is >> it’s pretty thin stuff

Why does everyone presume all sources are from Twitter

Dunno - I just cut and pasted links from earlier pages on NSC

Seems to me though the journalist quoted in the article I linked above and was linked up thread has solid credentials as a Sports writer - no? Sacha Tavolieri is a well known belgium sports journalist)

Chelsea have launched a £30m bid to sign Brighton and Belgium forward Leandro Trossard, 27.

Having a laugh aren't they?

Boo

Ok. Fair enough. You said you’d heard that RDZ would be “heavily backed” in the transfer window. Where from ?

But Tross = goals
Very, very difficult to find

Yes -agreed but his reporting is just they’ve “ramped up” interest. Hard to tell what they means. What do you think it means?

 

[maltaseagull]

See conversation starting on post #1668!

I really have better things to do.
You need to find some too.

Decent left backs seemed to be tricky to find for a while too.

 

[maltaseagull]

Maybe they will but links or sources or updates or dates when quoting this stuff on NSC most welcome !!

BBC football gossip quoting 442.

I am not privvy to any more info than you (ie what ever is public) but Chelsea were sniffing around Tross in the Summer - I hazard a guess that Tavolieri was suggesting Trossard’s good showing against Chelsea last Saturday would speed up their interest to making a possible move in January (ie sooner than later) - but that’s just a guess!

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

Did Todd Boehly accidentally buy the wrong club and is now trying to move everyone over piecemeal?

 

[Machiavelli]

Gilmore we singed on a permanent deal for around £9 million. Colwill is on a season long loan.

I know you're quoting someone else, but we didn't sign Gilmore. We did sign Billy Gilmour

Loving the "Confirmed." wedged seemingly at random into the middle of that tweet.

He did.

While it would be nice if he was some kind of hardcore humanitarian communist, the odds are not great.

what does this even mean? either they rate him enough to bid in january, or they don't, there's nothing to be 'sped up'
