This tit for tat is not going to sit well with Bloom I should imagine, with dirty laundry being aired in public. That is not the Brighton way. Not sure De Zerbi should be sharing half of that stuff in the press conference, however refreshing it was to hear.
Why shouldn’t he? The rumours were flying around about Trossard, De Zerbi stepped in and said how it was. Nothing wrong with that - he wants 100% commitment, Trossard, obviously, wasn’t going to give that. Roberto has said his piece, where he stands and what he expects. Now down to Leandro to knuckle down and fight for his place (and the opportunity to woo prospective suitors) or sit in the corner and sulk.

I'm going Sanchez after celebrating saving one of his less than good shots, with Trossard comparing their minutes on the pitch during the WC.

(this is a guess)

What is not a guess is that having a World Cup mid season in basically one city, full of top, top players and their agents, pretty much negates the "no tapping up" rule for this window. Someone's had a word out there.

It was Lallana, I was told this morning. Not happy with Trossards efforts in training.

That statement will do his client no help in finding a new club. Paints him as argumentative and difficult to deal with. Whatever the reasons are behind it, his own agent has said Leo argued with another player in training, got moody for being bench for ONE game, and wasnt happy that he wasnt brought on as a sub when we're winning 4-0.
Probably knocked £10m off his client's price right there. World's slowest handclap for that effort :clap2:

Send him on loan to USG. He might win some silverware in the cup.
Seriously, don't think his recent performances have been helped by asking him to play pretty much up top on his own?

I can totally believe that to be fair. Lallana is a total pro and future coach. Well documented that he helped improve training intensity when he arrived.

AL actually gets his coffee from the same place I do in the morning. Often having a chat with a mate and clearly a football obsessive. I'd back Lallana to end up with a top coaching job pretty soon after he retires from playing.

If you're in an argument with someone and then describe it to others as being over a trivial matter it doesnt exactly show that you were the innocent party. If you truly felt you were innocent and the victim within the argument you would more likely detail why you felt wronged. Just paints Leo in a bad light from his own agent.

Hopefully with us. Such a model pro.

Exactly - as I have stated up thread several times ( not Real, Atletico ) before today

My suggestion certainly doesn’t warrant the mocking response from GB et al

There’s a bit of back story here if it helps

I can't believe that Leo looked at that completely illogical explanation from his agent and thought, 'Yep, that will certainly get me what I want - put it out' :dunce:
Its a bizarre statement isnt it. You can tell the intention is to paint Leo as the innocent figure and give their side of the story, but at the same time it details his bad behaviour.

The proper Madrid.

Atlético
makes no odds if its Real or Atletico, he's not at that level consistently. Maybe Rayo Vallecano or Getafe are more realistic if he fancies life in the Spanish Capital

Thanks Leo you little bell end.

As a result of your petulance we are going to extend your contract for a further season, therefore until the end of the current season, please train and play with the Under 23’s, in the meantime we will discuss what we see as an appropriate offer to allow you to move on in the summer.

Best wishes Mr Bloom.

Remember we've only seen a translation from Dutch, although I'm not sure a translation error would make it that poor.
