Premier League ready, has the experience, will be an option off the bench if needed, don't see the issue here. Could turn out to be an astute signing.
Trossard is better than Martinelli, ESR and Saka, ffs.
He’s not better than Martinelli either. Smith Rowe isn’t a winger so you can’t make a direct comparison
He’s decent(ish) but nothing special, we’ve paid too much for him but unfortunately that’s the way it goes in this day and age.
At most the only benefit I can see him providing is coming off the bench to rest Saka or Martinelli. Or play in Europe to make sure they don’t. It’s marginal…and I’d rather have more than marginal for twenty odd million. But then again we paid almost twenty million for Lokonga…and I’m sorry to say it he’s a waste of a squad number
To be fair Trossard compares well with them despite playing in a weaker team. Saka and Martinelli have higher ceilings but sometimes it’s easy to forget they’re only 21 and they do tend to blow hot and cold.
So Albert Stuivenberg knows and likes Trossard so no problems there: https://tbrfootball.com/coach-albert...tastic-player/
