[Football] Leandro Trossard **Sold To Arsenal 20/01/2023**

[B-right-on]

You could be right. As the transfer window moves on and potentially there arent many serious bidders he might have a rethink and realise what a good thing he's throwing away. Its all so easily fixed. But I fear more likely is his agent continues to feed the issue.

I think his Agent went to the same place as Cucurella's did to learn how to become a football agent.

It's called: Centre for Unending Negotiations Twattish School.

Known by it's acronym: C.U.N.T.S

As an aside, I’m rather bemused to see several people above have started including Atletico Madrid into their conversation now as a possible mix of potential clubs after 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

Maybe in future try being more specific. You said 'Madrid' so like 99.99% of fans would, we assumed Real Madrid.

It would be like someone saying 'United' but talking about Newcastle.

Read my posts a bit more carefully please - All I have ever said the past few weeks - in fact since post 50ish of this thread, is that multiple sources, inc. national mainstream media reported Atletico had expressed an interest back in October - which is public knowledge and was media bounced around a fair bit - and should be here too since I posted the links to those various sources to back this statement several weeks ago - and no not just ‘gossip’ sites but national newspapers too;

Meten al Atlético en la puja por una de las sensaciones de la Premier

Leandro Trossard está siendo una de las sensaciones en este inicio de Premier League. El jugador del Brighton suma cinco goles y dos asistencias en las nueve jornadas

Multiple outlets have 'reported' the interest but not multiple sources.

The Mirror 'reported' it in October, as a throwaway line in an article about Chelsea; https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/foot...ea-transfers-january-nkunku-trossard-28246688

What they report is also a bit fishy as they don't mention (don't know of) the +1 option we have and how there would be zero chance of us letting Trossard leave on a free: 'Meanwhile, Atletico have joined the hunt for Brighton ’s Trossard. The 27-year-old is out of contract in the summer and the Spaniards are among a number of clubs looking into taking him on a free transfer.'

Then, other outlets have 'reported' the Atleti interest, referencing The Mirror article as the source e.g https://www.mundodeportivo.com/futb.../meten-atletico-puja-sensaciones-premier.html + https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...ard-wanted-free-transfer-Atletico-Madrid.html and https://www.tribalfootball.com/arti...in-brighton-attacker-leandro-trossard-4433114

Then, further outlets pick up the story and reference the other outlets (not The Mirror) as the source e.g https://www.football-espana.net/2022/12/05/atletico-madrid-brighton-star-leandro-trossard

So, one throwaway line (that looks like BS) from The Mirror, is what has caused all of these other 'reports'.

However, that’s not the point - you don’t have to believe a story to inform people that the stories actually exist - or are you reading my mind now as well as Tross’s ?






Sources please?

Just as ’likely’ Arsenal or Spurs have declared interests too but no one knows if it will lead to anything substantive and won’t until any deal is done.

Per all above I have caveated with ....

'I just get the feeling'

And

'If my theory is right'

In the original post.

Lots of people talking about fecking him over and making him collect his money for training in the reserves. Isn’t it more likely he’ll feck the club over by sitting in the reserves for 18 months collecting his money then leave on a free? Instantly earn more than the difference he would have done by warming some ‘bigger’ clubs bench for 18 months as a signing fee the next day. Might be more interest in him in 18 months on a free than now at a Brighton/Tony price too.

I doubt he will want to play for the reserves for 18 months. 18 months is a very large proportion of a footballer's career. Even money cannot trump time.

I don’t think either of the options you are presenting will suit club or player. The club will find a solution by the end of the window imo. Other than Tross coming back cap in hand, which I fear is unlikely, there is no ideal option available I don’t think

Agree. I don’t read too much into “multiple outlets”.

These days I get bombarded with news and it’s almost always the case it’s the same story picked up and being recycled by other outlets.

 

[Austrian Gull]

Trossard seems too delicate a person to be able to deal with the demands of Simeone - he'd be mad/badly advised by his agent to go there.

Funnily enough I said this last night in the pub. Whilst we know RDZ has high expectations, I think Simeone will be very different gravy

 

[Mr Phil]

It's going to be Gross (Pascal as top prem scorer, not the Trossard situation being gross...)by the end of the season isn't it?

Not if he keeps starting at RB

No way. 18 months in the stiffs at his age would career-ending in terms of top-level football.

 

[Triggaaar]

The difference is about 6 years of age and realising your last chance at a big deal is probably in the next 3 weeks. It’s very easy to do what Mac has done in his situation - particularly having just signed a new contract - it’s not the same for Trossard.

If he doesn’t go this month now he’s unlikely to get much football with us before the end of the season which is going to hurt his value even more.

If Trossard believes he's good enough for a big club then obviously he'd have fancied his chances of playing a lot for us over the next few months, and then he could have got his move in the summer, when most transfers happen.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Apparently Spurs bid £12m for him! (source - Ornstein/Athletic).

We could really do with Chelsea coming in and offering a stupid sum as per! Unfortunately with Mudryk there now, I can’t see it.

My prediction was kind of right then. No one really wants him that much and are certainly not willing to pay the money. Now he probably thinks he could be stuck until the end of the contract.

Can't be good for little trossys ego.

But hey there's worse places to see out 18 months of a contract surely !

I think we’d do a deal at around £25m - but I think an international loan with fee is the most likely outcome

"Hello, Todd, yes this is Paul again. Spurs have made a really interesting bid of £25 million for Trossard. We were wondering if you were still interested? With our special relationship £40 mill plus Colwill should seal the deal. Yes? Lovely. I'll get the paperwork drawn up."

“Sorry Paul, we are on the phone negotiating with Roberto at the moment, can I call you back in 20, Roberto should have made a decision by then”

Maybe - but the emergence of Mitoma and Ferguson have put some question marks over that and his behaviour since the World Cup puts him well down the pecking order with a lot to do to come back

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Yep. Downing tools is not a good option for him.

He may well get a decent signing on bonus if he leaves on a free in 18 mths, but his overall value will be far less by that point.
Plus he will be stuck on our wage structure ( with no bonuses) for a year longer than he needs to be.
By that point, it is far less likely that a Prem club would still be interested and lets face it that's where the big money is.

If no-one comes in for him with a decent offer, in this window, he will have to build some bridges back with the club pretty quickly.
