[Albion] Jurgen Locadia season-long loan to Hoffenheim

[WhingForPresident]

Panic signing who doesn't have the quality or mentality to play at PL level. Get the feeling his departure will do the squad some good.

 

[Icy Gull]

The knives will be out for Connolly if he has a couple of bad games. I can hear it now: too small, league 1 at best, looks like he's in a boy band etc etc

Yep that is my fear too.

Shortly before the end of the transfer period in the Bundesliga, Dutch striker Jürgen Locadia moves to TSG Hoffenheim. The 25-year-old is on loan until the summer of 2020 by the English Premiere League club Brighton & Hove Albion.
"Jürgen is a physically strong striker with a tremendous presence in front of the opposing goal. He has an excellent degree - both right and left foot, "says Alexander Rosen, director of professional football at TSG on the new signing. After the record transfer from Joelinton to Newcastle United, TSG "looked for another striker, who can tie opponents and cause danger in the box," explains Rosen. "Jürgen is a guy who has the right qualifications."

TSG head coach Alfred Schreuder already knows Locadia from his time at PSV Eindhoven. There, the striker had played before his move to the island, first in the youth and then in the top flight team of the Dutch top club. "He was there quickly by his scoring and belonged to the extended circle of the national team in the Netherlands," says Schreuder.

For PSV Locadia met between summer 2012 and January 2018 in 176 competitive matches 62 times and also gave 39 assists. In addition, he won three times with Eindhoven the championship title, Dutch Cup Winners and twice Super Cup winner in his homeland. In England, he came in the past year and a half at Brighton & Hove Albion, where he played together with the former Hoffenheim Pascal United (28), on 43 missions (6 goals and 2 assists). "There he was used more often in midfield - in our view, this is not the position where he can bring his qualities to full advantage," says Rosen

The big ones will be ‘too much of a jump, too soon’ and ‘if he is not scoring goals, what does he actually do?’.

However, the NSC hate squad will probably be too preoccupied with Ali J as their number one target as he is likely to see a lot more action than AC, still, their mouths will be watering like a hungry Malaysian’s at the thought of tucking into the Greyhound once he is let off his leash again.

I am really looking forward to El Galgo returning. I believe that he is tailor made for Potterball.

Hope he hasn’t lost his pace with this serious injury as his pace was a big part of his game (sorry that seems somewhat obvious with a nickname of the greyhound )

Pascal United on 43 missions. Love it. Good luck, Agent Locadia

I just need a minute to savour your signature:-

Out of contract June 2020 : Bong, Balogun, Kayal, Murray, Schelotto, Ahannach

Can I be so bold as to suggest you added a 'return to the club June 2020' line below it.


If IF they all come back, or are allowed back, it's tough to see any excitement from the next 2 transfer windows.

 

[Bold Seagull]

No they won’t, I don’t recall our young players coming through our system being overly criticised, and certainly not after a few games. Recent ones like JFC were given real patience by fans, mainly willing them to succeed. Not sure you have any precedent for what you’re saying when a player we’ve bought through our system makes the team.

That comment is going to be denied left right and centre.
Yet all the historical evidence will suggest it's bang on.

The only thing in Connelly's favour is he didn't come with the baggage of 'record transfer fee', that'll buy him plenty of time.



As said though it's in his, and the club's, best interest if I boo him and get on the wrong side of history in a positive way.

Has anyone bothered posting that - should it become glaringly apparent that Connelly isn't up to it - Stat Bore will still be tediously leading the cheerleading for him about 6 months on?

Of course not. Because like your post here, it is just pointless drivel. I honestly wonder what motivates you to post rather than just read sometimes.

 

[Originunknown]

Good move for all parties. Let's hope he does well so we can re-coup some of the transfer fee.

 

[Fignon's Ponytail]

apparently the Dutch coach at Hoff rates him for some unknown reason.

Because he knows him from their time at PSV, according to the Hoffenheim article on their website....

What a pity we couldn't sign this Locadia bloke. Sounds like he's exactly the type of player we've been crying out for.

There will of course be a “Locadia, not good enough for Albion” thread as he starts banging them in for Hoffenheim

Now THERE's a coach from the Dutch Walking Football League that's going to be shortly bitten in the bum

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Yep that is my fear too.

Though of course, coming through ‘the ranks’ gives him a massive advantage.

Not sure our supporters are that churlish. [emoji2]

I’m not, we might have to rely on him defensively [emoji2][emoji6]

As long as he runs around a lot a la CMS and Alex Revell he’ll get extra time....but not too much at this level imo

How about if he has lovely hair AND lovely teeth?

Not sure he has either of those essential attributes, sadly
