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

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

Come on Chelsea, you know you want to.....

 

[raymondo]

Clubs won't want to start making offers until they have agreed in principle with players/agents the basic terms of the contract. Standard now.

I think it's called the 'Pre-offer not-at-all-tapping-up-zero-obligation-fair-play-discussion' or something. Nothing to see here any more.

 

[The Wizard]

30m would be a good price for a player who probably isn’t in our best XI at this time and has 18 months left on his contact.

Fantastic player at times, lest we forget that, but would be a good deal for the club, providing a replacement has been identified.

He gets an awful lot wrong, his “misses” are buried and the “hits” emphasised. It’s absolute bullshit 101. Try watching a psychic doing a cold read, it’s the same principle. Common sense (X player is available, X club have money), a few insider tips here and there and a lot of bravado.

I saw a post on social media with his prediction/rumour rate and he’s right around 32% of the time even with his alleged “contacts”

This is simply not true, if you look back on his tweets, they are all still there, so the misses arent buried. The 'Lets go - Cucurella to Man City' tweet is still there even though he ended up at Chelsea. As I said before he is just reporting the action as he hears it and is MOST of the time very accurate. Obviously, you can end up with egg on your face if club/agent/player changes their mind and goes in a different direction after youve posted it. I've been following him for over 3 years and in that time MOST of his predictions are accurate. I'd rather he posts info as he hears it, than wait until everything is officially signed and all the fine details are known, as thats just what everyone else will be reporting at that stage.

Anyway each to their own, in my book he's obviously well connected and reports what he knows and I'm keen to hear it .

 

[raymondo]

I hope Arteta doesn't shout too loud at him.

Going by the all-or-nothing series...I think he might shout a lot . I wonder if all the managers f and blind like Pep and Arteta ...I imagine De Zerbi is different somehow.

More game time for Sarmiento I reckon - good news.

 

[Clive Walker]

good move for tross, undeniable that it worked well for him personally.

Yes, in patches he's looking VERY good material

 

[Da Man Clay]

This had better not end in us selling him and not bringing in a replacement...

Mitoma is his replacement. He just got started quicker than expected.

 

[dazzer6666]

Do wonder how established he'd be now if he hadn't got injured when he did...seemed to be in line for a run in the first team.

 

[The Fits]

Fair play, it's a GREAT move for him. They'll win the league. CL football next year. Good luck to the guy. Ended sourly but f*** it

 

[Mackenzie]

Screw them for every last penny Tony!

 

[Stato]

Presumably, we owe Mad Todd one for poaching their number one target, leaving Arsenal needing to pay what we ask for them to get a replacement in this window. He's done well for us and, if they meet our valuation would presumably go with the club's best wishes. I don't have to be professional, so I can say that "I would love it" if he becomes Arsenal's Faustino Asprilla.

 

[Uh_huh_him]

If this goes through I'm very happy for him - He's been a great player for us and deserves the opportunity.
The nonsense over the last week shouldn't overshadow that.

Also would be another example of us being a springboard to top clubs.
Won't do us any harm at all.

 

[dazzer6666]

So 'Arsenal have opened talks' but 'personal terms already agreed' and 'talks will continue'?

Maybe I'm being naive, but... WTF?

Club to agent - 'would Tross come here for 100k/week, 3 year contract ?'
Agent - 'yep'

'Personal terms agreed'

It looks done.

 

[Algernon]

I hope he f**ks off quickly as I'm getting fed up of reading about the stroppy bloodsucker.
Thanks for your time here but now please just go......quickly.....into the night.

[Gabbiano]

Think he might surprise a few people at Arsenal. The team plays into his strengths - fast flowing intricate passing.

The Arse fans seem to be on a downer about him because of the drama over the last few weeks, but he's a great backup/competition for Martinelli.

As with Biss, we've all known he's going for a long time.
Suspect it will be £25m + add-ons , which lets face, look like they are going to be triggered.
