Get the winning goal in one of our last 3 away games and he might deserve a contract.
Will see the team in an even bigger relegation battle, next season.
As it's fairly safe to assume the offense will again be quarterbacked by Gross as much as he needs the attributes of a Murray or Ulloa he really needs the quicker, staying onside versions.
GM has had a tough 2052 minutes this season I think next year will be one too many, but I'm sure the club will do it's usual thing of holding onto a striker for too long, instead of investing in new.

thought he played well when he came on and actually chased the ball for a change but i don't think he is the answer to our striker problems. i suspect some big (ish) money will be spent in the summer if we stay up.

Murray can move on now, he has done his bit, Ulloa is a direct replacement for him. We need another yes, but they must have a flair name.
I’d tend to agree with this. We also need to consider that there are a number of impressive strikers in the U23s who’d like a seat on the bench.

With the likely departures of Hemed and Baldock we are certainly very short up front...
We are left with Locadia and a 35 year old Murray for the new season.... we certainly will need 2 more. Ulloa for under 10 would still be great value and I would take him for that.
Plus another top quality proven striker from Spain of a different variety and we would be well placed in the forward area.
As for Ulloa performance against Spurs, I thought he was excellent for the time he was on.
Not sure what people expect when he has had a couple of starts in the cup for us since January, given game time for me he is a step up from Murray and a few years younger.

Guillem Balague - who knows his stuff - tweeted in January that it was a loan with an arrangement to buy
We had the opportunity to buy him back in January, but the club publicly started that they were only interested in a loan deal. Why would things have changed/ He has barelystarted a game for us since he signed.

Can't get in the side now. Can't see him getting much opportunity next season IMO, especially as CH only plays 1 striker.
Suspect he'll stick with Murray, Locadia, and Baldock and that's it for next season. Hemed will move on, and as much as I'd like to see a 4th striker come in, as mentioned above I suspect we won't sign anyone else as playing 1 up top as CH does probably only requires 3 in our squad. Hope I'm wrong though.

When played as a striker Locadia looks decent CH is obviously working with him behind the scenes, Jose went missing for a couple of months and then came back a much better player, Hopefully we will see the same with Locadia.

How can you promote Development Squad players directly on to the bench for the first team? All young players benefit from a season or two playing regular senior football in lower league teams first.
Christian Walton and Ben White are good examples of that this season, even now l question whether they are ready to bench for our senior team.

I think Balague let the cat out of the bag by stating that there is an agreement to buy if we stay up.
Of course the club wouldn't announce this formally at the time - if we were relegated they'd look like announcing the buy clause was tempting fate and they were foolishly counting chickens.

I actually worry as to where Chris Hughton will play Locadia. Throughout his tenure as Brighton Boss, Hughton has played with one big tall strong target man up front, be it Hemed, Zamora, Murray, Ulloa erc. The trouble is Jurgen Locadia doesn't fit into that mould, he is much more of a number ten, he needs a big rtarget man to play off of. Pascale Gross currently fills that position, and he isn't someone that is going to be dropped from the team any time soon. Perhaps a re-jig to the formation is needed.

honestly.... you seriously think we will start the season with Murray Locadia and Baldock as our front options... ? weaker than we are now.... come on man.

yeah why not. I think it would be an easy one to get over the line. Considering the number of signings we need to make in the summer. If we could tick this one off quickly i would be happy. As for his performance against Spurs, i thought he looked good, certainly the sharpest i have seen from him since his return.
Crystal Palace will look to sell Belgian striker Christian Benteke, 27, this summer. (Mail)
