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

[Zeberdi]

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.

Arsenal agree £27m deal with Brighton for Leandro Trossard

Arsenal have agreed a £27million deal with Brighton to sign Leandro Trossard. The north London club missed out on a deal to sign Mykhailo Mudryk earlier this month. Mudryk has joined Premier League rivals Chelsea. The Athletic reported earlier today that Arsenal were working on a deal to sign the...

He’s been great for the Albion imo, and I will miss watching his ability to find space in tight areas and his clinical touches in the 18yd box. My lasting memory of him will be watching him make a record breaking hat trick at Anfield earlier in the season. His agent is a twat by the sounds of it and it’s not been a good few weeks for anyone but I sincerely wish him well.

Good luck mate and thank you for all the goals and assists!

Bugger. For all Mitoma is brilliant, I will miss our resident Belgian. I do wish him well, though I hope he changes his agent, who’s a cretin.

 

[Austrian Gull]

L'Équipe mentioned this afternoon that Marseille had been in talks with Trossard's agent for weeks but are resigned to losing out to Arsenal.

Maybe they were the unnamed continental club and not Atletico Madrid.

Yeah but they aren't all going to be Ferguson. Hopefully Moran will step up but I'm getting to the point where I would like some ready made players. Even if you believe the lunacy that is Transfermarket, we were up £62m before this sale in 2022 That is without the Potter money and White money prior to that. Enciso, Buonanotte et all are exciting but young. We need another Pervis level player.

 

[brighton_tom]

£27m, I think that’s decent business for us.

 

[Beanstalk]

No "good luck Leo" from me. I hope it all goes terribly wrong for him.

There is a right way to get a move (eg Dan Burn) and there is doing it in the most disrespectul, ungrateful and twattish way (Cucu and Tross)

Was it that different for Burn? He agitated for a move so hard, he ended up having to phone Paul Barber and ask him to get the deal done so he could leave ("Eventually, I thought, ‘Stuff this’, and called the Brighton chief exec (Paul Barber) and told him." - Dan Burn speaking to The Athletic). He just did it in private unlike Cucurella and Trossard.

 

[Super Steve Earle]

I hope Webster kicks him straight up in the air when he comes off the bench on the 87th minute when we meet next.

Colwill more like.

 

[BLOCK F]

Given how well we can perform without him, this is a good move all round.
Everyone’s a winner.

 

[Triggaaar]

Apparently we want £30m for him. No chance we get that money for a year and a half left on his contract + out of favour

Cuckoo was out of favour, but did that make his pricetag drop?

 

[Stella Seagull]

This transfer and general club ethos is great and we all love it for now and wouldn't change a thing

But a couple of wrong decisions and the tower could tumble (aka Southampton)

Will be interesting to see the future of recruitment and how it has evolved under new management/ back-room staff.

£200m ish from the player sales and Potter. If I was Rob I'd be asking to spend a few of those dimes

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

27m is great business considering how much value we got from him in the last 3 seasons.

 

[Clive Walker]

Tross had already seen Mitoma step up and could see Encisco and Facundo waiting in the wings. Smart move to do a runner in my book.

 

[Algernon]

Colwill more like.

Yes I agree, more likely but I'd rather Webster got the card hence my naming him as the assassin.

 

[portslade seagull]

Good riddance to the little shit stirrer and his slimey agent

 

[bomber130]

He needs to get to tescos quick smart for some Mr Sheen. He be polishing his arse on the Gunners bench.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

Shame that he got away with behaving like he did and managed to force this through. Sets a precedent

tbh any first teamer who hasn't signed a new contract before the extension triggers is going to be off,

Not sure he has "forced" this.

 

[brighton_tom]

Out of favour here, will not sign a new contract, has publicly stated he wants to leave, and is 29 this year… I’d say £27m is very good given the circumstances.

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

The only thing he forced was going in Jan rather than the summer. So long as we stay injury free we’ll be fine.

 

[southstandandy]

Shame that he got away with behaving like he did and managed to force this through. Sets a precedent

I'm not sure that's true, as the club made it clear when GP left that they would never stand in the way of a player or manager moving to better themselves.

Maybe back then we did set a slight precedent in that comment by the club, but it always looked likely he'd go after not signing a new contract last year, so in my view £27m (if that's true) is a pretty decent price in the circumstances.
