Not sure I agree. I’m of the belief that Locadia was signed purely for shits and giggles. Was he really signed as he is a good player?

We'll see.
As it happens, this morning I got up and went for a walk before work. I listened to the recent Albion Roar show with the Paul Barber interview (Hughton had already been sacked but I didn't know it, I only found that out when I got back to the house and looked through my instagram feed).
Anyway, I thought it was interesting that Barber made a couple of points; specifically, that Tony was spending 4-5 million a year on the academy and "..you do want young players to come through.." and that Dan Ashworth "..has got a great track record of encouraging coaches at all levels, of international football as well as in his role in club football, to do just that..."
I would be amazed - AMAZED - if the new manager didn't have a willingness to play (and probably a proven track record of playing) young, emerging talent.

No guarantee they are duds under a new man

Ashworth will absolutely know Max Sanders and he will already have an extremely good idea if any of the Academy players (Connoly, Gyokeres etc) have what it takes to make it into our first team. It'll be interesting to see what happens with retained lists and whether the Hughton situation, and his replacement, flushes out any senior-player discontent and subsequent transfer requests.
