[Albion] Jurgen Locadia SIGNED

[BensGrandad]

This does not make sense

Why not? We have paid £14m our record, for an unknown and untried striker at this level which to me indicates that we will be giving it a go to stay up. Had we signed Giroud or similar that would have shown that we intended to be here next season,. Not so clear cut as you make out although I am pleased with the signing and the reports about him.

 

[RandyWanger]

Welcome Jurgen

 

[Deadly Danson]

And yet no mention of our interest anywhere in that time. I love the quiet, professional way we go about making signings these days.

Very much so.

You do talk rubbish. Did you ever seriously think we would sign Giroud (or any proven Premier League striker). They cost £30 million minimum

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Not sure if he’s any good, but he looks like an absolute baller.

And like any modern player his Twitter is blatantly not written by himself

Eg
How would your life be different if…
You stopped allowing other people to dilute or poison your day with their words or opinions? Let today be the day…
You stand strong in the truth of your beauty and journey through your day without attachment to the validation of others

Read his biog from this writer. He's had a tough upbringing.

Good to see the club listen to the fans and get business done earlier

With the greatest respect BG that doesn’t really clarify.

Literally not a clue what you are going on about.

 

[Megazone]

Now we can focus our attention on getting the out and out centre forward

And wages way beyond our pay structure.

And wages way beyond our pay structure.

And he wouldn't sign for us. But other than that, why have we not signed Giroud. Barber out, Winstanley out, Hughton out!

 

[Guinness Boy]

Seems he's going to be wearing 25...no pressure.

Yep, he is and agree. It's an iconic number but let's hope he lives up to it.

You mostly have to give the club credit here. Everyone says we need a striker and not just one on the last day that stinks of desperation and they've come through. On paper he's what we need - strong and fast with a record of scoring goals, We've probably blindsided most pundits and our PL opposition too, doubt anyone saw this coming or knows much about him.

The only issue is the current injury. It puts him in to the fray in the middle of a tough series of games and that mounts the pressure as much as the shirt number. On the other hand we seem to have one of the most stringent medicals in the land so if he's passed that we presumably just need to be patient and let him get ready. The contract length is also a bonus because we either keep him no matter what this season delivers or we get (most of) our money back.

That is the whole point it is an indication that we will try to stay up: paying that kind of money for Giroud or similar would have shown what US is saying we intend to be here for a long time. I do not think that we could have bought Giroud or Ings or similar but was hoping for a possible loan.

 

[Insel affe]

Welcome to Sussex young Jurgen, I wish you every success and have a feeling you will become an Albion Legend.

 

[Lindfield by the Pond]

25 shirt!! Big boots to fill. Set him a challenge no doubt. Get fit soon...............

Time for your medication BG

 

[Stat Brother]

He's basically saying:-

- I've never heard of him.
- Nobody knows more than me.
- Therefore this fella is shite

 

[*Gullsworth*]

Welcome.....you have the chance to be a hero at this club. Good luck

See U23 game tonight!

Do you look at people's responses to your posts and ever think about not posting?

You might as well have posted that for Messi and Ronaldo as we were never going to sign them or Giroud. And are you seriously comparing Ings, an injury prone player with one good Premier League season, to Giroud?
