Lallana could give Trossard some advice on how not to leave a club 
Be interesting to see if Bloom allows him to leave in this window, would seem best for both parties but I wouldn’t discount him being forced to wait until the summer and ostracised from the squad, as an example. But, do we need a bad apple stinking the place out? I guess a lot will depend on how the rest of the squad feel about him and his actions so far.

Looks like Glenn's Prem League goals record is safe for a while yet.

Yeah agreed, can see Bloom digging his heels in if clubs look to take advantage of our unhappy player.Lallana could give Trossard some advice on how not to leave a club

I'm sure TB would listen to sensible offers £30m+ but there is a fair chance that recent antics have lowered prospective offers considerably.

Bet they all make up and he signs a new contact….

Anyone else moved onto the stage of feeling excited about who we might sign to replace him? I reckon RDZ would prefer someone quicker than Trossard up there.

Massive respect to De Zerbi to how he is handling this so far.
It's difficult to know exactly how much truth is in what we are reading, but it sounds as if Trossard is having a bit of a mental crisis. It's not normal behaviour and it's not at all charactaristic of him.
It's admirable how De Zerbi continues to offer his support.
Really hope, like De Zerbi suggests, that their relationship comes back stronger after this, and he remains an Albion player.

Facundo is the replacement

Ok, no one is really surprised and we must accept that he wants to leave. So let him then.
The team is playing well without him , Mitouma has been a revelation. Let’s cash in , get the most that we can and move on .. That’s life..

Or he spent weeks with a dysfunctional Belgian squad watching Hazard get his way every time, despite Hazard being a shadow of his former self, in a single city full of other top players and agents who could easily tap him up
Very little quality cover if Karou gets injured though. We're weaker with Trossard not in the squad obviously. And equally obviously, he doesn't want to be here.

But it's happened - and it's out there - this is not people making up stories.
Unfortunately, there are now two options
1. Stick him in the reserves and let him stew for the rest of his contract.
2. Get the best price possible but do not be bullied by his agent or him
He's finished with the Albion. He won't want to play for us - he has engineered this, not the club.
One of our best players - but only for one game in three.

I agree with Dwayne here. This was probably why Facundo was signed. The writing has been on the wall for some with WRT Trossard. If he was happy he'd have signed a new contract.
Whether his replacements are ready or not is another question. They might not be.
Mitoma, I think is almost irreplaceable anyway. He's my player of the season so far.

Trossard's closing statement:
"It is therefore important that Brighton cooperates with a potential transfer during this period and shows a benevolent attitude, which is beneficial to both parties."
Sure. Tell Tony how to handle transfer negotiations.
That'll do it.

The chances of benevolence from the club are very very slim I reckon, this agent didn’t do his homework did he?
He’s right though sadly. Bloom won’t let him rot while his value drops dramatically. What could have been a £30M+ deal this window now becomes £20M or so, or perhaps at least some more flexible payment terms
The Times reporting that we have him permission to go home to Belgium this weekend.
Could be spin and not saying @jcdenton08 info is wrong. Just what is reported by Chris Hatherall.

Feels like Leo and Agent are massively overplaying their hand.
If a decent offer comes in, he can go.
Clearly it hasn't.

It rather does make Uncle Tone sound like some kind of deity.
Well this is sad isn't it.
Trossard has been brilliant for us. At the age of 28 it doesn't surprise me that he wants a move, it's probably his last chance of being wanted by UCL football teams.
I find the whole forcing a transfer thing very odd. It's not like Brighton don't consider offers and they can't make clubs bid. It seems like there is a club bidding, but the price is too low.
But releasing statements to media doesn't reflect well on the player and could affect whether other clubs want him. Why take the guy who is going to cause loads of problems?
I get that the statement is in reaction to RDZ comments - I'm not sure that the club will be particularly happy with those either as it makes a price lower.
In general I agree with what RDZ is doing though - work your f***ing bollocks off lads, high intensity at all times... or get out.
