Well it got us into the play offs ha ha
Bold Seagull
strong and stable with me, or...
Unless you are in the Champions League places regularly, you are a selling club.

Absolutely, you can't hold the player back or turn that money down, its incredible business.
Just got to spend it wisely.

Yep, and nearly all of them were cast offs or journeymen... So no problem with the chap from Barnsley coming.
There are probably only 3 or 4 clubs in the world that arent selling clubs.

Using the £7m from Ulloa;
O'Grady in for £500k
Another striker in for £1-2m
Lingard on loan
Ward (not sure if we'll need to pay a fee)
A goalkeeper for up to £1m
Another defender (Youngster that can play CB and LB on loan?)

Exactly you cannot turn down that sort of money and also I understand there is a very small sell-on fee as well

Ulloa always looked great when he was up for it, but in those games when he wasn't, he looked really, really poor.
If he wanted a move to the Premier League and the Albion refused to let him go, we'd have an entire season of the really really poor version, paying him decent wages, and watching his transfer value drop by the month.
Selling him now for the best price we could possibly get makes total sense IMHO. Good luck, Leo.
If O'Grady signs and isn't just using us to get a better deal from another northern club, then it's another step forward. He's no Jon Obika at least. I'd imagine there would be designs on at least one more striker in addition, which probably puts us in a decent position when all's said & done.

THIS re Ulloa. Really pleased he has gone with 6 weeks to spend the booty!
Albeit on a lower level O'Grady stinks a little of the Grabban 'signing', can't remember the last time that one of our signings was on Sky Sports news before the contract was signed and it actually ended up happening. Have a feeling his agent is using our interest to flush out the interest from Sheffield Utd, or, A.N. Other professional Northerner's club.

You can add £4m for the sale of Bridcutt + Barnes.
A creative, attacking midfielder £1-2M
But that doesn't account for wages - it would be fair to assume that Ulloa is on a fair wedge, but enough to cover 4 or 5 players wages? I doubt it. Having said that, it would be nice to think that the majority of the money would be re-invested into the squad.

Presumably there was some budget for transfers and wages without the Ulloa move. I'm pretty sure we could accomodate another four or five players, as long as they aren't all top earners on £22k a week

Wont they also have to buy Ulloa out of his contract or is that included in the excess of £7million
