[Football] The seven worst signings in the Premier League this season
- Thread starter Bozza
- Start date
He was our amongst our best players that day (not much competition admittedly). He looked very good.
Its simple - he doesn't fit the Hughton "system" (if it can be called that) which begs the question - why the **** did we buy him in the first place. I don't think he's a bad player, he just doesn't fit.
Those asking why we signed him just look at those statistics from last season. Outstanding. We also play with out and out wide men every week when many clubs don’t so it was an obvious fit.
Those saying we shouldn’t sign from the Dutch league are also underestimating what we can afford. Imagine the cost of signing the top goal scorer with that many assists from any of the top European league it would be £50m plus at the very least.

Guessed right.
If ever a player had a season disrupted by injuries and International tournaments, especially one who likely needed time to settle, then this is the example.
Not saying he'll be a world beater or even good enough for a starting place in the future, but needs another season before anyone judges too harshly.

Wow. Out of all the mediocre shithouse that’s been signed across the PL....Ali makes the list? I’ll bet the journo responsible is a Palace fan.

Who is Ryan Baldi?
Only attack?
MOTD highlights....

Totally disagree. He's had a few good games and showed plenty of signs of promise. If he'd scored a couple of goals he would be nowhere near the list.
He's only ever played in the Iranian and Dutch leagues, and while my Iranian league knowledge isn't quite up to scratch, we can assume that just like the Dutch league it's a totally different style of play. Maybe he was used to playing further up the field, maybe he was offered more opportunities in the final third, maybe his previous teams played attacking or even rapid counter attack football... To judge a forward with our style of play is a little unfair, especially considering he was mostly injured for the part of the season where we were any good.
Obviously hope he comes good, but we just don't know.
He has had a fair chance this season and much to the surprise of many, has started games ahead of Solly and Knocky, begging the question, why?
Is it him, is it the style of play, positional, coaching etc. etc.?
Heaven knows; let us hope someone can unlock the talent.

He's our record signing, has failed to register ONE goal or even ONE assist.in over 20 appearances.
I'd be amazed if anyone failed to put him on the list, tbh.
Nope, just after click throughs from NSC. Therefore a Brighton player HAD to be on that list, the question was, which one?

Like you I don't want him or Locadia to turn out to be poor buys. A Dutch fan at the Millwall game was saying how he was like that in Dutch league and that he got better second season, seems strange to me that it takes a year to acclimatise. So do we stick or bust?
Yep best not let the truth get in the way of a good witch-hunt.
If only Ali could be as shitehouse as some posters clearly want him to be.
It's such a shame they can't be content with him being disappointing.
Ha. Indeed.
Out tactics don't suit Locadia either - also playing in an unfamiliar league - but at least he's got us out of our seats a few times.
And, to be clear, that's a bloody low bar to reach!
Albion played well on Sunday. AJ wasn't injured. What did he contribute?
