Were there rumours that Locadia might be off to Turkey?
The Turkish window closes on Wednesday (along with the Czech one). It’s pretty much Israel or Serbia after than if big Jürg fails to get his move.
Russia is open another day or so, that could be an option.
Could be the opposite to a rocket. GM could have been putting himself under immense pressure by thinking ‘if I don’t score the goals, we’ve got no one else to finish’?
We then sign Locadia and he thinks……..actually, I’ll leave that analogy there.
I think you’ve found a huge floor in the recruitment of Izquierdo, Locadia & Jahanbakhsh. All three played in a front 3 formation on the continent before coming to the Albion but never as a No.9, No.10 or winger. Those were the positions Hughton needed them to perform in.
Izquierdo converted...
Joining Rob Pröpper at FC Twente seems to be the most likely destination. Hopefully both clubs can find a way to make it work.

“It is believed in the Netherlands that the only potential barrier to a move for Locadia is financial.
They would only be able to take him on loan – and even that would require Albion to be flexible.”

There is quality there, I hope we get a fee.
4 goals in just under 6 full Bundesliga games is great. He has also scored the same amount of goals for us than Connolly in a similar amount of appearances.
Someone will pay up, surely?
