[Albion] Knuckle down Jurgen…..

[herecomesaregular]

It's quite understandable to buy a player for a high price who's done quite well elsewhere and he then turn out to be not up to the quality of the Premier League.

It's quite astonishing to buy a player for a high price who has looked really quite shit with us and every team loaned out to since and now it seems we can't give away and might have to pay up and cancel his contract.

He must have impressed Coventry and Millwall in those games though.

 

[METALMICKY]

Can knuckle down and work his backside off in training and it will still be impossible for Potter to pick him.

He's shit.

Is sadly the correct answer!

More astonishingly still, we're in a situation where we're so limited in numbers up front we may end up naming him in the 25

 

[Hugo Rune]

So - is Big Jürg going to be 4th choice or just paid off?

He's shit.

I wonder how his agent describes Locadias talent, when touting him for clubs

He's shit could be described as.............

Over to you

The only club likely to be remotely interested in him is the Ministry of Sound.

It's more likely to be the monastery of sound.

or maybe Bensons in Worthing

Just spoke to them. They said no interest whatsoever.

 

[ConfusedGloryHunter]

He may not have been a complete success in his time with us, I still think it is pretty shitty to not even put his face on the club website as a member of the squad. What is up with that?

Quite likely with Norman's contacts there. I've heard we're negotiating a swap deal and getting Paul Oakenfold in return.

 

[Napper]

how the hell is this even a topic. Shambles on the striker front again

 

[Badger Boy]

Money is of consequence to this football club. It isn't to many, many clubs in our league who can afford to throw it around without a care in the world. In our reality, we have several players we'd need to move on in order to finance bringing in a new signing on big wages. If we could have moved on Andone earlier and found a new home for Locadia in the same we did for Propper and Jahanbakhsh, I think we'd have been more likely to compete. I don't think transfer fees are the issue (although we clearly wouldn't go too extreme), I think it's the wage burden that really slows us down. Do we want to take an enormous risk on a striker on £100k a week on a 5 year contract? And are we (the fans) prepared to see cuts required in other areas of the squad in order to pay for him?

Personally, I'm not convinced there's a silver bullet striker out there for us. The squad has been nicely developed over the last few years and we're very close to being where we want to be, hovering around the top 10. In reality, if we found ourselves 10-14th this season it would be a success story. We have the squad, with the additional of Cucurella, to achieve that ambition.

And they are shut until further notice

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

I have a feeling he won’t be too bothered about your advice.

Here was another great hope who 'saw out' his contract while spinning discs:

This.

And boy am I tired of the whinnets accusing the board of failure and incompetence for not achieving the unreasonable, and their tedious mockery of the rest of our contentedness with 'failure' and inevitable relegation. Far cough.

I am interested. Who said relegation? What has been said is don’t spout top 10 ambition without backing up that goal in the transfer market.

Shame some on here cannot see a failure when it is in front of their face.

Removed comment due to guilt at rudeness of it.

Whatever else happens we must assume Locadia gets bench time and a last chance to prove himself. If he fails we only have a 16yr old behind him!
Let’s hope he finds fitness, focus and self confidence.

Off to Turkey apparently, their window is still open.

Yes. The Turks took a Palace Donkey and got him scoring loads and loads; they then flogged him and made a huge profit. Perhaps they are trying to do the same? (If they are, no one tell them the truth)

Think we might see some Locadia (and some 16yr) vs Swansea in the Cabablawow Cup.
