[Albion] Fenerbahce are showing an interest in Brighton forward Jurgen Locadia.

jamie the seagull · Jun 25, 2018

The Turkish club last week appointed Phillip Cocu as their new manager and Takvim say the Dutchman wants to work with his former PSV player.
Locadia joined Brighton from PSV back at the start of the year for a fee believed to be around €17m but the Dutch striker only managed to feature in six matches for Chris Hughton’s side.
The Turkish reports fails to mention that Locadia arrived at Brighton carrying an injury.
According to Takvim, Fenerbahce manager Cocu is keen on a reunion with Locadia, and the Turkish club’s sporting director Damien Comolli will try to land him on a loan deal, with an option to buy.

It’s also suggested Locadia could be tempted with a move to Fenerbahce because of Cocu and the possibility to play in the Champions League next season.
This one sounds like it’s been built from Turkish optimism running away with itself. It’s got to be considered unlikely Brighton would let a big signing leave so quickly, without really giving him a chance to prove himself.
Locadia scored two goals for Brighton last season and he’s under contract with the Premier League club until 2020.

No chance, I have high hopes for Locadia this season.

I'm hoping this too, but I'm sure there would be a few offering to drive him

Poppycock

Blue Valkyrie · Jun 25, 2018

And how exactly does a loan with an option to buy provide the funds for a replacement this summer ?

That would probably get discovered in any fitness test?

If we could recoup all (or least most) of what we paid, go for it, and take another punt elsewhere.

As a LOAN deal though - can't see any benefit for us, so no chance.

Playing devils advocate here, but wages could come into it.

Premier league these days. "Fly him there myself" surely?

studio150 · Jun 25, 2018

Can't see this one going anywhere other than Locadia being a member of the 25 man PL squad

Worried Man Blues · Jun 25, 2018

I have faith in our management, if they want to recoup that's dandy with me if they want to keep fine.

GT49er · Jun 25, 2018

Interesting. I know he was carrying an injury - but how highly does CH really rate him? Was his main function to give Murray a prod (which he did brilliantly)? Certainly no chance of a loan, but if Fenerbache are offering serious money, I wonder how tempted the Albion would be, especially now we've got Andone.

Interesting days, eh?

I'd say it's more Beano if we recoup.

A1X · Jun 25, 2018

Not for anything less than £35m

Blue Valkyrie · Jun 25, 2018

He is contracted until June 2022, not 2020 !

Ill informed rubbish ?

Agent talk?

forumwayseagull · Jun 25, 2018

lazy and optimistic journalism linking old manager with player...

he is our record signing, with a pre season behind him should be looking much improved... Also took so long to get a top striker, now we have options up front no chance we would sell him..

Agree - i would sell if we could recoup all our money and look to invest somewhere else

DavidRyder · Jun 25, 2018

He's going to get 15 goals in an Albion shirt next season...

HastingsSeagull · Jun 25, 2018

Would be a crazy idea to sell let alone loan him. Good to know he's wanted though!
