And then people at the club will complain that we can't shift him next Summer. This reputation we have for being 'bad sellers' is all self-inflicted. Because we do dumb **** like this. I actually can't believe we've done this. Not only is it unnecessary, it has absolutely zero benefit to us whatsoever.
Trossard's been a good servant to the club, and he's contributed his fair share.
For £26m, he's been a very good signing.
But it was time for him to go. It wasn't time to give him a pay rise that will prolong his stay at the club.
I think there's an argument to be made that you guys have better and more dynamic attackers than we do.
Pathetic and lazy squad building that will get us nowhere closer to winning the title. Or any title for that matter.
