Trossard's nutmeg pass to Gabi for the goal

[WES]

Thought he played the false no. 9 role very well.

Sorry red.

Imagine if we had signed Mudryk instead - he could have just given it away as it managed 20 times in a 40 minute appearance last week

And we'd have about 70mil less for Bellingham this summer

I would imagine Mikel would get more out of him than Chelsea are.
Not quite sure what though

By my reckoning the smart Trossard and Jorginho signings have seen us pick up 9 points from 3 tough games that wouldn’t have happened otherwise. Those points have probably covered their fees already.

Two superb signings, no doubt. And I love the pragmatic side of Edu/Mikael. Yes, fully support the focus on young talent, but there are times when you need to forget about philosophies and do what it takes to win this year.

Yup, the 18 months with an optional extra year for Jorginho for 12 mil was a great bit of business. If we get a top notch, young DM as a long term TP5 replacement then we have Jorgy to cover Mo's injury. But if we have to wait an extra year to find the perfect young option that's fine.

This could be the first Chav signing I like since the '80s.

Trossard, too, given his versatility. {Though I do wish Reiss hadn't got injured. He was great when he came on against Forest, his confidence was up, made a great assist for Eddie next game in the EL. I do hope we give him another season.}

The Chavs claimed that they talked MM 'round on the fact that he'd have Martinelli ahead of him so he wouldn't play. Trossard's being given starts now while MM is spending 80 mins on the bench of a team sitting 10th. And he's cup tied for the CL.

I hope their Septic owner destroys that club.

Maybe these were our real targets all along?? Chelsea cribbing our scouting notes and throwing piles of cash to "win" is undoubtedly well known by Edu and Garlick. Perhaps this Murdyk affair was a way to throw Chelsea off the scent and at the same time make them commit loads of financial resources on a young player that, while promising, is unproven.

4D chess!

I like this Chief - Edu is an evil genius

It could be! I recall that not a word was mentioned about Vieira until the deal was done. In these times of internet rumour warriors aplenty he was able to pull that off. Maybe he is?!?!?!
