I've now found the most apt thread, although there's a fair few others.

Is it wrong to laugh at Sunderland, through all this. They plunder us for Bridcutt and Buckley, but wouldn't pay for Ulloa. Leicester have all but guaranteed survival with help from Ulloa. Whereas Bridcutt and Buckley are already staring relegation 'six pointers' in the face, in a team that...

Who in the media gave Leo the benefit of the doubt? Luke Moore, The Football Ramble, was 100% behind Leo saying what a brilliant signing he was. Other than that all I kept reading and hearing was he's was far too much money and therefore won't score enough goals for his value. Irrespective...

Yay me, Stat hits it out of the park. (as Craig David would say) :lolol: I've just had a scan through this thread, there were some very odd opinions at the time that look hatstand mentals now. Gotta love a good messageboard.

Would that be the same Leo Ulloa who has scored 16 goals in 3/4ers of an Oscar season. The fella that has played almost every available minute for Oscar. That guy who has played in every attacking permutation Oscar has fielded. The Leo Ulloa who took Oscar's team into the playoffs. Leo who has...

Nah I should have retracted. I'd allowed this thread to get to me, and it was making me all titsy, you were last!!! I was just getting a little fed up with our fans selling our club and players short.

Jeeeez how the hell can a first bid of £6.5m in May, from one club, be too tempting? Ok so this thread is the first, fair enough. But will we have to go through all this again when:- Sunderland offer £7m. Leicester match it. QPR go for £8m + Bobby. Arsene decides he needs a work horse for the...

That's cool, I was referring to nwgull and others who are keen to cash in, then spend the money on another striker AND beef up contracts.

Finally we can end the conversation. Sell Leo, buy Danny Graham fight relegation next season. Is that what you want, cos that's what's gonna happen.

That's INSANE, how can you possibly think such a small amount of money could buy a decent striker and hand around competitive deals. If you could pick up a decent striker for £4-5m that would be the going rate, but it's not, not even close. You're looking at twice that in order to get a player...

and do what with the money? Buy a championship striker who may or may not propel us into the play offs and promotion. Stick with what we know, at least until such time as the money is impossible to turn down.

If he never made a mistake he wouldn't be playing second division football. What do you expect £3m to get you in soccerball, Messi Ronaldo & Bale!

We need a mobile striker along side Leo. The attacking unit need to play around the lynch pin, Leo is integral to Oscar's scheme. When players like KLL, Buckley, Lingard, CMS and to a lesser extent the lightly used March, have been available they have played WITH Leo not instead of him. He had...

Burnley cleared approx £10m PROFIT, on those 2 deals. That's a little different to £3m profit with the most expensive player to still be replaced. (not including contact foibles)

Why do people want the money just so long as £xm can be invested in a replacement. It doesn't make sense. Why replace the player who fits into the system, with someone who may not, just for the sake of having a couple of million left over. How much will that couple of million be worth in a...

In 18 more games. Basically I'm not having Nugent in a swap for Leo, no matter how much money Leicester are prepared to throw at the deal.

The same Nugent who has looked like dog ploppy every time he's played at The Amex. The same Nugent who slotted home 10 of his 22 goals from the spot.

Unfortunately for us, Nudgent is likely to be the player Leicester are looking to replace.

And so it begins.
