For whatever reason Tross struggles when its colder
Bit like Maupay - looked pissed off for weeks and didn’t Boussuma practically stop making an effort in the weeks leading up to his departure?
Tross loves scoring goals but doesn’t have the quality or physique to be top 6 PL no9 striker. I think he has much more goal scoring potential than he’s finding at Brighton at the moment in the position he’s playing in but I can’t see that changing any time soon so I wonder if a European team might suit him better in terms of giving him more goal scoring opportunities - maybe Ajax or PSG?
The source is impeccable .sauce?
But finding out who is interested isn't 'offering' him.Of course they can. They can try and get a deal moving with both sides, but finding out who might be interesting and suggesting what his player might want to the buying club can help move things along
But I don't think it's realistic to think Bloom has asked the agent to do that.Absolutely the agent can, with the club’s blessing.
He probably wasn't happy with his own performanceEven at full time yesterday camera caught him with a face like a smacked whilst the rest of the bench (who didn’t play) were joyous
Personally hope he stays and that he would not be happy as a bench sitter. I did have a spell of being ambivalent and frustrated with him but he’s our Danger Mouse, more likely than anyone in the team to pop out of nowhere for a goal.Yes he would and yes he does but top 6 clubs already have deep squads - Tross would not be happy at the age of 28 sitting on the bench while his years of top condition in professional football is on the wrong side of peaked - the older footballers get, the more risk of injury too. It would be whether having a few ‘clinical minutes’ is enough to get him 90 from week to week in a top 6 club and whether he can compete with talented 21 year olds for a first eleven place.
Should add because of that- can’t see Tross straining at the leash to leave.
We must be watching a different player as I can't see him getting off the bench for any of them, let alone Arsenal. Trossard is a decent player for a mid table PL side but nothing more. Unbelievable on his day but that is usually followed by 4-5 games where you forget he's even on the pitch. If he's not going to sign a new contract I think we'd do well to get anything above £20m for him. I suspect he will get better wages elsewhere but not at a club that is higher placed than we are currently.He’d definitely get regular minutes at Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United.
If he is part of a top six squad challenging in multiple competitions, playing twice a week, he’d get plenty of minutes.We must be watching a different player as I can't see him getting off the bench for any of them, let alone Arsenal.

Chelsea, for example, have been using the much derided Pulisic, Ziyech and Aubamayang in forward positions, and I really don’t think there is a gulf in quality between Trossard and those players.
Trossard is one of those players some supporters don’t “get” because he does the subtle things well. He doesn’t have Lamptey’s pace, or Welbeck’s back to goal play, or Mitoma’s dribbling. There’s no one thing for a certain type of fan to latch onto.
Trossard excels in his all-round game. Good movement. Good pace. Good finishing. Good dribbling. He’s a technical and quick player and very underrated by many.
We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one.
You do seem to be under appreciative of Trossard. A player who has developed from one too easy to dispossess and very one footed, to a player capable of scoring a hat trick at Old Trafford all on his weaker foot. He has always been a creative skilful player and not everything he tries comes off, but I do think too many of our supporters under rate his contribution.Whilst I applaud your attitude of 'let's agree to disagree' (as too many people are quick to just get nasty if someone disagree's with them), what you're essentially saying is I'm too thick/don't understand football well enough to appreciate Trossard and his ability?
I would of course disagree as I see his many talents however I also see when he goes completely absent in games (see Boxing Day performance) and when he can't convert basic chances when given time to think. In my opinion he has the natural ability to be a top six player but has a much lower standard footballing brain which is crucial for a player at the top level. His decision making and vision as nowhere near the likes of Ali Mac for example.
Another hatrick to go with his one at Anfield? That is quite the prediction! But I'm in...You do seem to be under appreciative of Trossard.

He may well move on and I agree with you that he is not guaranteed success elsewhere, but he will leave a huge hole in our squad, if he does go. I would be more than happy to see him decide to stay and sign a new contract. His contribution to our success has been very significant and our current run of signing gems, will not last forever.

Brighton’s former transfer guru Dan Ashworth, now director of football at Newcastle, is keeping a close eye on the situation.
