What was the fee for Bennett? My memory of reports was that it was 1.5m, which isn't bad for a player who'd never played higher than the 3rd division.

£10m for Ulloa!!!! **Official that Leo has gone**

Who is right here? The Leicester Mercury is still reporting an initial fee of just over £7m this morning.

I seem to remember that there was a clause where Almeria would be due some sell on money if he was sold.
Can anyone confirm this, and if this is the case, would something like 10-20% be a fair estimate?

Exactly my point-you don't get any cheaper than free and that's what we let him go for,

It is, but remember how much money Leicester will get from TV money, and if Leo's goals keep them up it will prove an excellent deal for them too.
You're right though, as it stands at the minute we've got a great deal, well done TB
Personally I'm delighted by this, as long as we now get in a decent replacement, a top quality keeper and Ward (or another decent LB)

10 million!!! Ha Ha Ha incredible if true. Leicester board should not have shouted about the massive war chest they had. He is worth 5 million tops.

Don't the club carry out some sort of preliminary screening of the questions/questioners to avoid drivel from the spackheads?
I guess somebody (could be the club, but equally could be BBC) might do pre-screening of emails/tweets, but no-one pre-screened questions that were live from the floor last year for sure.

Oh probably, but anything about budgets is a reasonable question to ask. At least he may get an answer instead of moaning on here all day long - if he believes the answer that is.

Crofts £300k, Bennett I thought went too cheaply for the role he played £1.5m.

£10M was a no brainer really and thankfully if has been completed with 6-weeks of the window to go, just hope other clubs don't hold us to ransom now, interesting times but we need a quality striker in now

This really is an excellent bit of business if true, but I do not think the club will be too pleased that the Argus have published the fee - unless they authorised it of course.
Fair enough. I thought he was worth more.

I am being optimistic and hope that our other incoming deals are virtually signed and sealed so that this disclosure would not allow clubs to up the prices etc. The problem would be keeping agents in line with wage demands which I am sure TB and PB will do.

Trouble is those wage demands have now risen a few % after seeing this

That is my point that TB and PB will not allow agents to sway them as there are many players available and looking for clubs and we are the piper calling the tune.
