Not seen such Bravery!
Not really.
£3million accounts amortization loss + maybe £2million wages is a hefty write-off.
We must at least try to offset some of that with a loan fee and partial wage payment.

so when he joined and he said he saw himself as jesus coming to save us , what he actually meant was that he was coming to take a lot of money off us , not really offer much and worry about his hair ..................a bit like the original jesus really but the jury is still out on him...
ffs....been had.

Maybe he can still come off the bench for us occasionally and make a difference? Probably more of an impact sub than Ali-J? Really grasping at straws here...

Don't wait for me!
He’s not going to be anywhere near the first team. Or I imagine the club itself. Some Dutch lower league outfit will risk him.

Wonder if the £40k a week he is getting in the MLS is covering his wages or if we are topping up?

You really are, if he cannot even be included in the starting 11 in the MLS and they don't want him, then......yes you are.
I feel your pain though, he has been an utter waste of money, no redeeming qualities or glimpses of promise, a complete duffer.

It's quite remarkable that footballers reach an "elite" level of their sport, a tiny fraction of a percentage of people who aspire to do so in the world. Then they discover their passions lie elsewhere. He wants to be a superstar DJ, Bale wants to play golf, Kemy Augstien wanted to become a human blimp, etc

I remember when we signed him and there was a Dutch football expert on TalkSPORT talking about him and some other Dutch geezer Newcastle had signed. He couldn't believe our scouts had signed off on him - or the Newcastle bloke (who's name I cannot remember). He said he would bet his mortgage that he would be a flop...
So that guy's comments have legitimately aged well.

Pity he carry on over that cliff, would have done us all a favour.

In his first EPL games my early judgement was that he seemed heavy, sluggish, with an awful first and second touch.
It turned out he was worse than that.
Bloom fleeced for £60m on Locadia and Jahanbakhsh in fees, wages and employers national insurance. Great scouting.

Yeh, he's doing fine, raking it in!
Yeah, not even that though, after three years with us. He just ain't good enough.

Locadia will always stick in my memory for walking out into the centre circle before a match to introduce himself just after we signed him.
It was a real Hollywood superstar moment and I thought "wow,we are really going places now,this must be what happens when we sign premier League superstars"
I admired locadia for making the effort to announce himself to the fans in such a manner,but unfortunately he turned out to be very shit.

He also announced that he'd be using us as a stepping stone to being signed by a English CL/top four club within a couple of years.
How's that going DJ Jurgs?

My favourite was when he missed a simple header in a key game and after the game said he wasn't very good at headers... (shame he didn't own up that he actually was pretty shit at most things)

Just was never going to make it as a Prem striker. He didnt have the skillset. Not his fault our recruitment team went for him, but without pace, intelligent positioning, the ability to head the ball, and shooting accuracy (to name a few of his weak points) he was never going to cause Prem defences a problem. HIs touch and passing got better towards his later games with us but that doesnt make you a successful striker.

Not for the player to own up to his failings tho eh? Up the the people who are paid by the club to assess such things during the pre-recruitment process
