Well only £1m below what I said I thought he was worth a few hours ago! - so not a bad deal and brilliant for Tross he gets what he wants, a big 6 club and guaranteed Champions football and we get a decent fee despite a load of people thinking we’d let him go for £12m-£15m...

That’s not the issue or even ‘an’ issue for me - any player with a contract running down (ie where an extension clause is necessitated) will be wondering whether to sign a new contract with the club he is with or be looking to move at the next window (especially one who is 28 and where it will...

Also true - just a case of whether he was talking boll*x when he said he did‘t want to sit on the bench - tbh though I think if he goes or stays he will be a rotational player from now anyway, given RDZs imperative to develop younger players and given the competition for start ups in the deep...

Rather amusing that people would think we are ‘offering’ Trossard to other clubs now (instead of them swooping on us) Didn’t think things have got that bad 😂 Agent presumably still wanting to get him out in January - making usual door to doors.

Yes - NSC has built up quite a narrative on this one without knowing exactly what the dynamics have been. I agree with Swansman (welcome back!) that the whole thing has been mishandled - I’m not ready to burn off £20m from a transfer though - he is still one of our best players and RDZs...

Not if you’d read my previous posts or subsequent ones from others- I had said the club had dropped out of the Champions and had financial issues among other things so obviously not talking about Real , as well as posting links to a story about Atletico ! - Who’s the 99%‘we’? Several posters...

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...

That would be a truly surprising admission of failure for the clairvoyants amongst us 😂

Think extension clauses are up to the Club to activate so doubt there’d be much choice for a player once contract got to a certain countdown period without a new contract in place. Not saying you’re wrong and I’m probably missing the obvious but how would a player running down a 12 month...

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...

in Atletico’s case, I think it will be a case of whether they can come up with the money because they were certainly interested and looking to restructure the squad for next season, partly due to financial pressures - IMO Tross is still worth £28-32m, hopefully more, even with all the recent...

lol - how do we know that he isn’t going to meet potential buyers in Europe 😜

That’s been decided has it? I rather got the impression RDZ wanted him for the first team this season, after some initial training.

on a Spanish forum maybe where Atleti would be understood as meaning ‘Atletico Madrid’ but on an English forum where some people who dont keep up seem to get confused between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid 😉, probably not much milage in that. And, as stated, if you had read my earlier (too...

Presumably because these source of stories date from October when Atletico expressed an interest - the extension clause had not yet been triggered afaia - it was in December. (Thus, they were hoping to get a free transfer and the +1 was not active) There are more recent rumours (literally...

Interesting thought - to deter January offers? What would be the logic otherwise in a PR campaign that showed Tross up for a spoiled, difficult brat to work with? Doesn’t do much for the window dressing. I did on every earlier post with repeated links to Atletico - can’t help if people don’t...

And I was responding to what appeared to be a sarcastic pile on to GB‘s post mocking my suggestion that Madrid (A) was interested. forget it - life’s too short for silly communication issues 🙂 Let’s just see how it all pans out eh? Not a good situation for the Club though.

Seriously read my posts before jumping on my posts taking the piss - I’ve never mentioned Real Madrid on this thread in relation to Trossard- only Atletico - and have posted several links in the past week or so to stories from various sources where they have stated an interest. (But just for...

Exactly - as I have stated up thread several times ( not Real, Atletico ) before today My suggestion certainly doesn’t warrant the mocking response from GB et al There’s a bit of back story here if it helps...

This - Great post - sums up my sentiments too. IMO - any player being approached by several bigger clubs are going to get it in their head at some point that they are ‘too good’ for this Club, that’s the nightmare impact of transfer windows even if offer’s aren’t accepted - or the player has...
