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

[Easy 10]

‘On his day‘ being key. Absolutely brilliant at his best, but not often enough

Its just the nature of his position. The hardest thing to do is to score and create goals, to unlock defences. If he could do that week-in week-out at this level then he'd have been well above our pay grade. Arsenal took a punt on him after they were gazumped at the last minute for Mudryk, and are now reaping the rewards. He won't do it every week for them either - he's very good, but not world class.

Having said all that, would I now swap Trossard for Mitoma ? Mmmnah. I'd still rather have kept him here though.

He didn't want to play for us and would go anonymous for the rest of the season.
Right decision for him to go, and at least we got something.

Sook? . . . that's a new one on me.

Cry baby, spits the dummy.

This is pretty much my view. All reports make it seem he didn't want to be here and had fallen out with some key squad members as well as RdZ. Even if it was fixable, there's no guarantee we'd have got the version of Trossard that Arsenal have anyway

actually I think we have, Fulham, Leeds, Palace away, would have all ended differently with having him either starting or coming off the bench.

Would? Or could?

Given his performances, actions and (from what we're led to believe) attitude around then, that's a big assumption to make. IMO, like...

Not really - he was consistent in his time with us
