Leandro Trossard

[Gutter Boy]

Another way of looking at Trossard is would you rather:

a) sign Trossard for £10m and a £50m CB this summer
or
b) sign a younger forward for £30m and sign a £30m CB this summer

In my mind it's a no-brainer that a) is better

Or just scout a better younger player for £10m. Brighton recently paid £2.5m for Mitoma, who already looks better than Trossard

But that’s took 2 years for him to come through
You make it sound like he was a summer signing

And we're looking for a sixth choice player, and still have Moura till the summer.

It's just a desire to start acting sustainably again, like we've shown signs of starting with Sarr, Gil and Spence.

If we need a squad filler, do we go journeyman or do we take an informed punt on kid with a potentially very high ceiling?

Moura is dead
He isn’t gonna play again for us and is contes weakest player attack
we can buy potential in the summer
Right now we now oven ready players

For RB - yes. But someone like Trossard just becomes another body/wages the next coach can't shift in the summer

Not really
He becomes a ready made squad player in an area we have massively suffered in this season
He is a better player than most think IMO and he is a big game player

We just dont need a squad of with 15 or so 30 year olds when Conte goes back to Juve in june and our next coach requires a high press. We all remember some of Hoddle's early sides

Agree.

Trossard is an excellent presser and really hard working.

Played some excellent football, got us up to 4th place by Christmas (a position unimaginable at the time), but ran out of steam the 2nd half of the season. Put all the eggs in to winning the league cup, but lost to a brick Blackburn team in the final then went in to free fall.

have spent 20 years trying to erase that season from my memory, so THANKS for that.

Was the best Spurs team we’d had for approx 12 years until about Jan to be fair, then just nose dived.

Putting a Tottenham shirt on his back would soon sort that sh#t out...

 

[Yiddo]

I wouldn’t worry, Chelsea will notice he is available and will sign him anyway. Might aswell lock the thread now.

Trossard is an excellent presser and really hard working.

But we've seen how rapidly that fell away in Kane and Son at about his age.

 

[JerusalemMan]

David Ornstein reports we've made a £12 million bid for Trossard.
Surprising and not my first choice, but as a quick cheapish replacement for Lloris I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.

I think I'd rather play Lloris in goal, even if he's a bit wobbly at times .

Did we?... I thought we just saw Spurs move from a manager who played a pressing game to managers who clearly do not.

Most on here seem to have him pegged as 5th choice if he came.

At 28, having become part of the Belgium squad/team, and with a Euros next summer - I’m not sure that will work for him.

Allegedly it was his agent that offered him to us. He wants out of brighton. He could believe he's good enough to challenge for a place in the starting line up.
