I suspect the issue is that the agent isn't able to convince Spurs/Atleti to come up with a decent enough offer.
"I can't help him. The person who can change this situation is Leo."Great follow up PR from De Zerbi and the club this morning IMHO:
De Zerbi says his door is open if Trossard wants to talk
Roberto De Zerbi has told Leandro Trossard the head coach’s door is always open.www.theargus.co.uk
So do iThe art of being a top businessman in a large company is being able to delegate the day to day running to skilled people in their field, and not having to be hands on too often isn’t it? TB has played an absolute blinder at this club
I certainly worship at his altar
i think that's about it!So basically
1) agent drums up business for player and gets interest based on low fee with short contract
2) Albion trigger extension driving up fee
3) clubs looking for cheap deal now not interested
4) players sulks and attitude spills out in training
5) manager and senior player calls out behaviour
6) player sulks and works with agent to try to force a move at lower price
I know Leo and TB may not be the tallest of gentlemen, but I don’t think you will be seeing them in their cars on Eurostar ( no charge for this pedant comment )Imagine if this was the most elaborate overhyped contract renewal reveal ever.
Camera pans from Leo’s car on the Eurostar to show bloom in a Skoda adjacent. A wink from Bloom before the boot opens fully of reddies and Leo dives in. *

Love this rather hopeful (I thought) quote from RDZ though - and what some of us have been saying about the media and chat forums having a field day and giving it more significance because of the window, rings true and you can totally see RDZ having an emotional coaching style even by watching him in the dugout."I can't help him. The person who can change this situation is Leo."
It literally changed from Eurotunnel to Eurostar within minutes!I know Leo and TB may not be the tallest of gentlemen, but I don’t think you will be seeing them in their cars on Eurostar ( no charge for this pedant comment )
I have a life-sized mural of him on my desk.So do i

“De Zerbi said "problems" such as that currently involving Trossard were fairly commonplace.
He added: "I think we're giving too much importance to something that is normally happening in the dressing rooms of every club in the world.
"I was a player and a lot of times I had these kinds of problems and maybe through this happening the relationship later on will be much stronger, but I'm working in this way.”
He’s certainly losing the battle of wall space to David CopperfieldI have a life-sized mural of him on my desk.
Just what was needed. Would think PB put that together for him.Great follow up PR from De Zerbi and the club this morning IMHO:

I was derided yesterday by several posters for saying just that for days - including being called ‘his agent’ such is the fickleness of some NSCers - just saying
You'll never guess who I had in my cab earlierI just dropped a player at the training ground, I’m a cab driver by the way, we had a chat about the Leo situation. He said the statement was rubbish. There was no altercation with another player. It was in a team meeting the argument took place with RDZ. These things happen though in life. He will probably leave but let’s hope we get the right price. Onwards and upwards.
