[Albion] Locadia has had ENOUGH and wants OUT !!

[Barry Izbak]

Happy to see him go.
Not worth £1m imho
Costly mistake.

Good of him to keep taking his wages whilst doing nothing to earn them.

Great news- cut our losses and move on

Are you joking?

He has made 4 starts for us in the PL, one of them as a right winger (Palace away), one of them as a left winger (Leicester) and two as a striker (away at Liverpool & City). Overall he has played just 433 minutes for Albion almost all from the bench in numerous positions he isn't used to playing. When he does get to play in his natural role he's set up to fail with either 10 minutes to make a difference or he's playing a thankless job against the best team in the league. I think this is one of the worst if not the worst signings we made in the PL, he was literally a better version of Baldock and we never intended to play 4-4-2. He has been setup to fail and I totally understand his frustration. We're going to lose a lot of money on this one and we are 100% to blame for it.

Agree with you to an extent. He was never setup to fail, just never capable enough to play out of position or adapt to an unfamiliar striking role in a tough league. He hasn't shown enough to warrant more starts and couldn't displace Glenn.

I rated Baldock, at least he always put a shift in.

Loan a good option now to get some form in him within a system elsewhere, playing to his strengths, therefore increasing the chance of us recouping.

Lend him to a mid championship side. At least we can see what he’s like then. He looks ordinary but let’s get it confirmed.

When he does move on, I wonder if this thread will be d like the Barnes one is, every time he scores.

It'll be interest to see if it appears on page 1, every 3 months, or quicker.

Barnes has done it in the PL. I doubt Locadia will.

didnt Drogba have a bad first season at Chelsea and take time to settle in, then look at his record

 

[Green Gull]

It's a shame it's not worked out for him and I do feel a bit sorry for the lad.
I seem to remember he played very well at old Trafford in the cup and I thought he looked promising. Since then he's had very little game time & what I've seen of him this season has been very poor. Time for him to move on if that's how he feels.

Denis Berkamp was considered to be a failure when he first started at Arsenal. Didn't turn out too bad once he had a run of games.

Here's one of Locadia's records

 

[Sheebo]

He has a point re the Man Utd game - played well. Hadn’t had a proper chance but with our system and Murray’s form he needs to be patient.

Like Barnes only got a few sub appearances to judge his ability.

Only by idiots his stats for his first season was 33 games 11 goals in league 8 games and 5 goals in cups thats before he started to warm up...

The analysts at the time thought he was a striker but he was playing the Gross role for them once Henry arrived he provided for Henry etc but still had his own threat.

 

[jamie the seagull]

Giving Murray another year in effect sealed his and all the other strikers fate.

Especially as it followed on from his absence from the Match Day squad at Cardiff where Hughton chose Gyokeres

Locadia was ill.

To whom do you suggest as he wouldnt agree to a championship club, I wouldn't think, and to a team abroad wouldnrt help him as he needs to play the English way if he is to be a success here.

Yeah ok....

Wink, Wink, Nudge, Nudge.....

 

[HastingsSeagull]

All sounds fair enough. He's shown he's 3rd choice yes but nothing like a starter (yet) and been given more chances than a 3rd choice would usually get because Andone has been injured. He hasn't outshown the starter and now he's back in the reserves. He can feck off somewhere if we get a big bid or fight for his place and turn those offers down. Either way if he shuts up and works hard he'll be fine.

It'll be bounced about as regularly as the Johnny Dixon, Chuba Akpom and Obika threads are i'd imagine.

He might be better advised to consider his choices if, for instance, the only option on the table is a loan to a lower league club. Just festering here, training every day but not playing, generally doing a Kemi, and his career goes done the pan week by week. He'll be very rich of course - if that's all that matters too him I suppose the club will just have to grit its teeth and accept the financial loss.

His loss will be greater, if he has aspirations to be a professional footballer; I expect his agent will be pleased, though.
