Sarmiento seemed to step up a bit with today's cameo.
I'm sure our young forwards will see Tross's antics as a golden opportunity for themselves.

Yeh, but wherever he goes it will be his £50 or £60K a week loss.

Withdrawal of services should result in withdrawal of pay packet, hit where it hurts.
If he disappeared home without permission, the club can fine up to 2 weeks wages.

I think the PFA have guidelines on maximum penalties, but agree the club should use whatever penalties are appropriate.
I assume not making himself available will also cost him appearance and win bonuses, so he's doing himself more damage than us at present.

You need to be fully committed to the cause with RDZ. There’s just no hiding. 110% power play. The players are wired up so stats galore to show up lapses in effort. I wonder if part of recent events is Trossard knowing he’s not up to this more aggressive style of play, will be found out and wants out.

So how's your Albion Mojo? Still feel that all the club's nous has been transferred to SW6?
Not really, I felt (as you know) the only thing transferred was cold calculated ambition and cold cash... ill news is an ill guest, I’m delighted any nous that did get caught up in the hubris seemingly decided to stay put on the south coast.

Yes I thought you were talking about a player with a long term injury -though, sustained during a 12 month extension which often means months out, maybe a whole season unable to play top tier - what top club would want to take on the wages of a £30m player that they can’t use for months on end so player risks being clubless at the end of the 12 month’s extension if the injury persists - better in that scenario to have a 2yr renewed contract with the club you are with, no? Then start touting for moves once playing back in the squad again at full fitness and showing your top form for a top tier club. Anyway, all hypothetical in Tross’s case he has 12-18 months to buck up or get out now with no serious injury issues.

I wouldn’t normally do this (quote myself), and I appreciate it adds no extra “credibility” - but I’ve just had an identical story told to me by somebody else attached to the club. No question.

"hubris" . . . l'm reaching for my dictionary.
My gut feeling is he, or more likely his agent, thought his route to a big club, and a big pay packet, was a good World Cup and a subsequent transfer.
This was all likely a few months ago when he was one of our key players, he was central to much of what we did on the pitch and he was playing for Belgium…a favorite.
Post Qatar the landscape, and his situation, for many reasons is very different. He isn’t a player in demand at his own club let alone the big 6. I can understand him being disappointed and frustrated that his status and big dream has collapsed around his ears but his agent and himself are handling it appallingly.
Come back when you’ve finished sulking.

This has got the potential to drag and drag now I fear. I just don’t see the market for him - not at the level he wants. Particularly now with the bad attitude issue hanging over his head.
It’s been obvious for sometime he’s been on his way. I expect it’s been manufactured now as on top of the disappointing World Cup we have also moved on a touch from him. He doesn’t get in our best 11 anymore when everyone is fit. I expect he realised that and doesn’t want to have his move jeopardised by less football over the second half of the season.
Sad way for it all to end as can’t see a way back regardless.

Good post. I would have given you a thumbs up if it wasn't for your American spelling of "favorite"!
Isn’t Hubris the capital of Guadeloupe??
Ha ha. I blame Apple and predictive text.

I don’t know what triggered this behaviour. Push for big club, feeling not fitting in with RDZ. If I recall, his body language declined pre WC and did worry for his mental health. Poor response from Trossard post WC. It’s going to need a 360 degree turnaround in his attitude if we’re going to see him in a blue shirt again. Can’t see that happening. A shame but football moves on quickly as we know from Potter.

The bottom line……he can and probably will move to a bigger club and I’m fine with it. However, in my opinion he will not move to a better club.
That’s his prerogative, life changing money, set up for life etc.
