[Albion] Locadia & Hemed

[Stat Brother]

Some of us knew that he wasn’t shitehouse, hopefully the club will be able to recoup the money spent, as he won’t be coming back (are those sighs of relief I hear?)

Are you out there [MENTION=435]Stat Brother[/MENTION] ?

It's all right there in that penalty.

For me Big Jurg has always been able to larrup the ball really hard and accurately from 5-15 yards out.
Not as easy a skill as most think and not one I ever thought should be dismissed.

He scored that penalty through power.
It almost went through the keepers hand.

Had he taken that in front of the North Stand.
He'd have done exactly the same.
Only the keeper would have inexplicable palmed the ball round the post.

It wouldn't have been an amazing save.
It would have been a shitehouse penalty from someone who is "not even a footballer".


Thems the breaks - c'est la vie

Good that we now have Scheletto back to get our teeth into though.

Second in the Bundesliga and Locadia their top scorer with a manager who knows how to use him properly. Not a player for Hughton or Potterball but it’s clearly possible to get him scoring goals at the highest level. We’ll recoup his fee and more if he ends up at Hoffenheim’s top scorer come the end of the season.

I’m very much looking forward to him scoring more goals for them this season than that £40m Joe Linton fella scored for them last season (he just needs 5 more or one per month in the Bundesliga to eclipse the toon sensation).

This is my thinking !!

Whilst I know we wouldn’t get a £40m fee because there isn’t the same money in the Bundesliga as the Premier League, but if he can score 8-10 over the season we could make a small profit on him.

Trying to work out what tune this should be sung to??

And if Dunk gets that yellow card then Balogun will be available for constructive comment.

We don't have to sell him to a Bundesliga side. Maybe Newcastle will want him.

Locadia has now scored 3 in 3 games. Carry on and we may get some money back.

Ker-ching !

Looks like we may just break even on the fees for Andone and Locadia with any luck.

Locadia wise, that would almost be a miracle [emoji2]

Good effort Stat, and he did have a good pre season.

But successive managers didn’t feel he was good enough, and he wasn’t. (Wasn’t shitehouse either).

Like Hemed would have excelled in the Championship as he showed vs Millwall...

Always have to wonder how our season would have been if the saints game had gone differently - andone hadn't been sent off, locadia had rifled in that late chance. Would they still be here?

 

[Surf's Up]

If Locadia emerges from this season as the top scorer in the team that wins the Bundesliga would he be welcomed back here next season? - No, I thought not!

Just providing further evidence that looking good and scoring a few goals in the Bundesliga (or for that matter in the Eredivisie) doesn't mean you can cut it in the same way in the PL (see also Jahanbakhsh, Joelinton.)

and yet Trossard can look good and score a few goals in a considerably lesser league and the Premier League just providing further evidence that not all players are the same.

Ah......Trossard. Yes, the exception that proves the rule.

That’s because pure ability comes into it as well.

Due to the frenetic pace and less space the PL shows up players quite quickly with lesser ability.

Wanted to check what his penalty was like against Millwall as I couldn’t remember. Then I stumbled upon this footage of March’s equaliser. I’ll always be thankful to Locadia for his goal that day, which was an exceptional finish out of nowhere.

No thanks- nowhere near good enough for Prem

Like Propper and Gross.

Like Propper and Gross.

Neither were prolific goalscorers, even in those lower leagues. They have adapted well, though - good for them.
