Based on his early performances and impact I still can't shake myself of the belief that we have unearthed a Mahrez-level bargain.
And I remain unmoved by the (now substantial) evidence to the contrary.

He WILL rule the premier league.
This.

I was convinced we had signed a world beater. Next season is his season, we are going to finish 7th and he will score/assist 25 times before Man Utd pay £75m for him.

I think Trossard has done okay for a first season in the Premier League. Realistically, if he was going to be close to his best form every week, he wouldn't have signed for Brighton and certainly not at the price we paid for him.

He does need to become more consistent next season, when he'll have had a full season in the Premier League. And, I am confident he will do that, especially if we can improve our other attacking options

Just possible that I put on here, early on, that he might be the next Hazard.

Although I didn't say which Hazard, meaning I could have meant Mickey.

The guy needs a season to get used to everything associated with moving leagues etc. Next season is a big season for him and the talent is certainly there, I think it's more a case of us using him in the best way rather than sticking him where we want and expecting him to adapt.

Go watch this season highlights back and have a rethink. Fair he's not been as mustard as we all thought after those first few appearances but he has been vital.

He and Ali J seem fairly similar to me. Yes they play in different positions and in both cases I think there is a really good player in there. Its just whether we can get the best out of him.

Like Ali J, Trossard should be given a 2nd season to improve and develop but suspect if he has as little impact as the former then might be best to move him on in a year. Would'nt be surprised to see Ali J move on this summer but Leo needs a 2nd season to show us he was worth the outlay. Hoping for better next season.

I wouldn't mind betting that there's only a couple of Premier League teams who wouldn't want him in their squad.

One of those naturally gifted players that sometimes sees things developing on the pitch long before it happens ,the attack breaks down and he gets frustrated that nobody else is on the same wavelength, it then looks like he's messed up but in reality its generally a team mate that hasn't quite read the pass , or his space creating movement , I like him , excellent player .

He could do with some early nights mind .

Could Leeds do with him? Perhaps we could swap him for their promising young centre-back Ben White.

The way Albion fans are going on about this player you would think we had signed him already.

I've had doubts but less so these days. If we are ever to cement a top 10 PL place there will be a lot of the current squad who will have fallen by the wayside, Trossard will not be one of them.
