Not quite true though Solasch. The EU has around 8 more trade deals than the UK and considering most of them are yet to be ratified I think the EU's claims are mostly debunked.
According to Wikipedia, the UK has ratified 63 of the 70 or so "trade deals" it had as an EU member on its own terms in around a year, so it won't be long before we have more trade deals in place than all 27 countries that make up the EU.
Furthermore, I would imagine the trade deals will need to be renegotiated with the EU because the trade deficit of the UK was an integral part of those deals with the EU. Now the UK is on its own, we can make separate deals with these countries (as we have done), meaning the EU now has to find better terms with them to compete with us.
Have fun with that one Solasch.
