[Albion] How close is Locadia to wrestling Ashley Neal's title away?

[Lenny Rider]

Worst player in an Albion shirt in the last 30 years?

As bad as Jurgen is, Ashley will always be the 'champ' as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Springal]

Still scored Premier League goals that kept us up - and also took us to a FA Cup Semi Final

Chris Holroyd - 16 games, never scored

Locardia plays in the Premier League, he'd be smashing League One/Two.
Maybe not smashing, but looking better than he does now.

I thought you 'wrote the book'? Or is it just attention seeking ****wittery?

Let him go to Accrington. I know they were interested in the summer and that seems to have cooled now, but surely it would be a good move for him and he'd get more game time.

He looks like he's wading through mud on pristine premier League pitches, think how bad it would be in actual mud

 

[Joey Jo Jo Jr. Shabadoo]

Locaida isn't even the worse player of the Amex era when we've had the likes of Jon Obika and Chuba Akpom playing for us.

 

[Swansman]

While he is pretty bad by PL standards I think his shitness is a bit exaggerated.

 

[The Optimist]

Not close at all. Locadia might win the title for most overpriced signing, but that’s our fault not his.

 

[nwgull]

Locadia had a goals per game ratio of slightly better than 1 in 3 for PSV in the Dutch top tier. I imagine he’d have looked like a world beater in that 96/97 team that Ashley Neil featured in (ignoring the fact that he’d have only been 3 years old).

 

[Binney on acid]

People have a tendency to compare Locadia with world class strikers, like Fred Binney. Even the likes of Messi and Ronaldo don't compare to Super Fred.

another thread on locadia? we know he isn't up to scratch and we have done for some time now, and it's hardly as if he plays a significant role these days. just seems a tad unnecessary imo

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Glenn Thomas for me

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

DJ Locadia = Pathetic buy. Yet anther piss-poor purchase from the Dutch Walking League. Recruitment guys at that period of time just got lazy and splashed TB's cash on no-marks

Indeed. If he'd been with us in the Dark Days at the foot of League Two ... well they wouldn't have been nearly so dark as he'd have been our best player by a country mile. There would be threads reminiscing about him saying how great he was and how he was worth the admission price on his own.

As has been said he's not brilliant and probably isn't quite PL standard, but he's not even the worst player of the Amex era let alone at the Ashley Neal level.

 

[Simster]

Massively exaggerated. He's not a terrible player - just not up to Premier League standard.

This. Terrible signing though he was.

At least he sparked the FA Cup run with that well taken goal at Millwall. What have the likes of Ashley Neale or Michael Mahoney Johnson ever contributed?

Unless what you are actually saying 'I remember Ashley Neal, so don't lecture me on history'.

I thought you were against on line abuse/bullying? Not sure this thread is much different imo.

 

[seagully]

Pretty sure Locadia had a shot on target against Leeds, one more than Maupay did

I was thinking the same.
