As said above, Leandro has been great for us but can also look like he's not interested. Roberto has called him out today after having words with him over the last week. Roberto won't take any sulking or attitudes so unless Tross knuckles down that's it, he's gone

The key part of that statement to me is "both parties could not reach an agreement, also because Leandro has indicated that he is ready for the next step."
He made up his mind before the WC that he was leaving.

Christ.
No more Trossard for Brighton. That is terminal.
At least we now have a bidding war between Newcastle, Spuds and maybe Chelsea and Arsenal.
Will anyone start the bidding off at £50m?

I think we'll do well to get half of that.
Seems fare enough, Just seems to me that he/his agent wants a big move for him and we wanted a return on our investment by the contract extention and he has thrown a strop. Silly really, he would get his move away any way.
The key part of that statement was it was written by a kid wanting to get out of a sports lesson at school.
So he's picked him for two games, been sub for one then dropped.
But then he hasn't spoken to him for 4 WEEKS. Didn't give him an explanation for not using him at Everton. Complete hogwash.

Silly old bat
I don't know about the key part but I don't like the bit about the manager humiliating him and telling him he had to train separately. That isn't conducive to team work.
That's the agent's side of the story. The truth is probably somehwere in between.

Trossard has been a very good player for us. But he's not delivered a consistent season since he's been here, and now it's questionable if he'd even get in our best 11.
I really have doubts as to if a 'bigger' club will be interested in him and how much game time he'd get there.

I am sure that the truth is somewhere in the middle.
But the reason it's the key part is that he'd made his mind up he wanted to leave this window, which explains why everything has suddenly come to a head.

Oh well, might drive his price down not up, this could get nasty, is there really any need for his agent to release that, unless they actually have had no firm interest from other clubs for him, this is a come and get me email...
It is also at the same time, I can be a bitch statement.

Why on earth would a player deserve an explanation for not coming off the bench when named as a substitute? Especially when your side are 4-0 up - surely it's self-explanatory at that point?
All a little pathetic and a real shame to have an issue like this with Leo.

Great, RDZ is very straight down the line. He's more open than many/most managers in such a situation. I like it.
