Ulloa -transfer request
- Thread starter osgood
- Start date
Wood could be off to the Prem for £15m. So Leo could be a good replacement for them if they decide to sell.
Who on earth would pay £15m for Chris ****ing Wood.
Yeah your probably right it says they have been put of. This is from BBC website.

Is the correct answer. That's the end of thread for me.

Loan with a view to a permanent move? Because he might be wanted here NEXT season if we do go up and are given the option to buy him.

So you would drop Glenn Murray would you? Oh dear
Where did I say that? He would be excellent competition for Murray and a much better option the Hemed. We will be very lucky if Murray stays fit all season and Hemed just doesn't threaten often enough in my opinion. I think that a Baldock style player is a better move right now however if Leo was available for a loan I think we would be daft not to go for it. I would still want another striker to compete with Baldock.
I wouldn't pay £1.5m for him.
I don't think for one minute ULLOA will come here but how can any manager think he can go for a promotion run in with only Three strikers? I don't think Russell is the striker we need! If it was me and I know people will slate me I would go for Rhodes on a four month loan. Wages would be high but that's the gamble we need to take!

I cannot believe that some people on here are actually seriously saying "no" to resigning Leo in principal. He is far more of a threat than Hemed ever will be. He is Premiership quality. Good players can play together, I think Leo and Murray could be deadly together.
Do I think it will happen? Highly unlikely. Would I welcome it if the unlikely did happen? Duh!

And can put the ball in the back of the net more than CMS, so in short nothing like CMS thanks.
We don't need another headless chicken who try's hard.

I just don't get the idea that there are only two types of strikers, a big slow lump and a quick small nippy type, and every team has to have one of each. That's far too simplistic a look at football for me, there's a myriad of different kinds of strikers and to say that Murray and Hemed and Ulloa are all clones of each other is frankly wrong.
I get that a quick striker is nice at the start of a game when its more open, or if we're in front and breaking on the counter, but the times we're really going to need another striker this season are when we're losing or drawing at home with 30 to go and the away team are all behind the ball. Baldock doesn't do much in that scenario, we need strikers then who can win the ball, hold it up, find a yard of space, have an instinct for goal. So whether its a Keane or Ulloa or Rhodes or more likely someone completely different, I believe we need that kind of striker for those potentially crucial situations. A like-for-like replacement of Baldock doesn't do it for me.

Think we'd need some lyrical adjustments
"And we won't mention Manu anymore"
Baldock replacement I think you mean surely....

I think the reason some on this thread are against it is because they are thinking logically.
Well out of our price range for a player who isn't exactly what we are looking for to get us over the line. I think we'd all agree we need competition for Baldock rather than another physical striker. Spending £8-9m and 40k a week would eat into a budget which would also still require an additional 'number 10'
If he isn't in Leicester's plans why would they loan him when they have offers in the region of £9m for him.

Nope - competition for that place. Baldock has been in most people's top 3 or 5 players this season - he's been fantastic. The worry is an injury to him...
