Yeah but maybe that's what we need. What does Trossard do? :-)Quote:

Hope Jesus returns at a appropriate time for a lift.
My mate, is currently very angry. So I'll leave him be :furious: :hehe:Quote:

It's simply not sustainable to play our constant pressing game all season with no rotation and not pick up big injuries.
Looking at it from a 'moneyball' perspective this looks an excellent signing. Brighton will know all about that being one of the World's most succesful moneyball style teams. Let's just look at his league stats. Scored 7 in 16 this season. That's as good as our top scorers. His overall record scoring in the prem is 25 in 116 which would include his first couple of years bedding in. Even with that that's still a 1 in 5 record. That's exactly what we need. Even if he can score us 5 goals for the rest of the season while offering us quality cover that could well be enough to win the league.

After doing the obligatory youtube scouting with an incoming player one thing is clear. This boy is a clinical finisher and has a weapon we'll need against the low block teams like Newcastle. He has brillant agility and is able to make space out of nothing to get his shot off. Another key note to take from those highlight goals is that half of them came against the big teams, Us, Spurs, Chelsea and Liverpool twice. That's a hell of a lot better than being worth £100m due to scoring two against Celtic.
Yes I think this looks a very shrewd signing. You might get some detractors crying that he's 28. Who gives a fcuk about that. We're going for the league now and he's in his prime. I don't care if his legs go next season as long as he produces right here, right now.
Good signing…can put him the little pain in the arse straight to work if we need too.
That’s how I would describe him…a pain in the arse for other teams to deal with.
Extra firepower off the bench…would’ve been the ideal type vs Newcastle.
Them sort of goals he scores…will be useful when team start getting way more defensive with us.
He almost feels like a Freddie type with the importance of the goals he scores….might put a bet on him to score on Sunday just like Freddie did vs United on his debut.
Happy to do business with Brighton. Tony Bloom is a shrewdie who knows the correct price for someone. Won’t be getting stitched up that’s for sure.
Amen to thisQuote:

I have to admit, I wasn't happy that he's 28, but if it's only £20m, fine. That gives us another couple of seasons to find our big money new winger and won't dent the cash for the young, long term TP5 replacement in the summer.Quote:

13 goals and 3 assists against the Big Six. For under £30m we're getting a right bargin.
I will place a bet on him to emulate Freddie when he scored on his debut vs United at Highbury.
What was the final score? 3-1 or 3 nil?
Need to read the fine print too…I believe if he stays on the bench the bet is void but need to double check this.
Ah it was 3-0 to us.

Freddie Ljungberg
Ljungberg joined Arsenal in 1998 and introduced himself to the Gunners fans by scoring in a 3-0 win over Manchester United on his debut.
That proved to be his only goal in his debut season, but the former Sweden international went on to win three FA Cups and two Premier League titles during his nine years in north London.

Well here’s hoping Trossard gets a few more this season.
Did Freddy only score one that season…lol didn’t seem like that.
Speaking about the oldies…
Marc Overmars :(
Apparently his heart attack was so bad a significant portion of his heart is now dead.
I don’t even think Kanu can help here.
Young sports ball men's heart have been giving out the last year for some mysterious reason.
Especially tonight :-|
Less of the "young" though, please.

So jarring seeing all the Indian & African Arsenal fans on social crying about losing out to Chelsea on Mudryk because we won't dig deep into the pockets.
:-( We're just THROWING our money away nowadays. Bring back Wenger, imo.

Had one big injury not long into that and basically finished his career. I remmeber watching his comeback game after the long lay off in pre season and he moved like a 35 year old. Pity.Quote:

Right. **** them all!

I have to say Trossard has been one of the smartest best value signings we've made in years. Every game he seems to play a key part in getting us the points. Cruical assit again today to kill the game at 3-0. He's paid for his transfer fee already as far as I'm concerned. Meanwhile that fella who bullied Celtic twice in the CL can't even get into the worst ever Chelsea team they've ever had.
Seconded.Quote:

With Trossard being clinical yet again in the final 3rd leading to the key goal that won the game Mudryk was busy missing two sitters at home and costing Chelsea 3 points. 100m for a youth project player. :clap:
It shows how much people accept anything spouted by a Ukrainian.
They said he was world class and would win the ballon d’or and the media fell for it.
You knew Shaktar were full of BS when after selling him they instead decided to have digs at Edu…no class whatsoever.
He comes on as a 2nd half sub vs Liverpool on debut and plays barely 10 minutes vs James Milner lol and the commentators fall in love with him.
It was James fkin Milner and to be honest I thought he stood his ground even though he’s just too old now.
Anyways it seems like the only thing he’s done since he arrived as been to get two more neck tattoos on the other side of his next…some questionable blue butterflies.
Take away from this…maybe we need to dig a little deeper instead of blindly trusting everything said by a Ukrainian.
