Well, the posts haven't been up very long have they. So I don't think "the number of likes" is relevant to gauging general opinion but I would be amazed if the majority of people think Hemed is better than Ulloa.
Again - you're not reading.
My very first post on the subject, never suggested 'Hemed is better than Ulloa'. Quite the opposite - it said "(at his best) Ulloa is (probably) the better striker of the two".
The posts people are agreeing with stated that on recent evidence (what we all saw of both players last season with our own eyes) spending more money to swap the two is not (in our opinion) an upgrade.

"If my memory serves me correctly (often doesn't old age you know) didn't Hemed sign a one year contract extension about this time last year making him in his last year of contract again so a free agent next summer ?"
isnt that kind of reason enough (if true) for Albion to either extend his contract again or sell this window ?

I'd be fine to start the season with just 3 strikers, Andone, Locadia & Murray. We would only need another if we planned to play 2 up front. Attacking options are more important than defensive ones due to the substitutions and different attacking personnel we may try to win a game. I'd like to see a youngster given the chance
Murray went of injured 4 days ago, as well.
Tomer Hemed is our ONLY fully fit senior striker.

Tomer extended in November, until 30/7/19. He is now 31, wants to be playing regularly and due to his age, will only get worse and depreciate in vale. Now is definitely the right time to sell him. Unfortunately for him, the club will not sell him at the moment as it leave us with one fit striker.
Expect him to stay until January, then leave for an undisclosed fee.
Which is something Andy Naylor doesn’t seem to grasp in his numerous “Hemed’s on his way” articles.
His latest article is saying Hemed is on his way as he wants to play. Well unfortunately it’s not down to him as he is under contract.

As the window is closing early this year, I'd put money on there being a number of 'loan with an option to buy' deals done after that window closes. TH has had interest from the championship and la liga, so I can see him being loaned back to Spain as soon as Andone & Locadia are fit in a couple of weeks. Then in January, said loan club pays an undisclosed fee.
FWIW I think its unfair to say he hasn't taken his chance in the Prem. He hasn't really had much of a chance. Before he got suspended last year he had what, 2 goals in 4 games? In a new league the whole team was adjusting to? He may not have impressed in training after that, but we don't know that - we can only go on what we saw on the pitch or what we're told by Hughton. Everything I saw and heard is that he's a proper professional, hard working and humble, who doesn't let the team down.
He's not a prolific Prem striker by any means, but if he had a full season starting with us I'd back him to get to double figures. His link up play is good, he's a poacher in the six yard box, and his penalty taking is second to none. Being the wrong side of 30 is probably what counts against him, and a reason for cashing in, if it's safe to do so.

As I noted elsewhere - we could, if we wished, keep him for the first few games, whilst the others regain fitness, and still let him move (initially on loan) to a Championship club or permanently to a club in Spain, Germany or France, right up until the end of the month.

As the squad stands right now it would be strange to wave goodbye to Hemed.

presumably the club needs to submit the official squad after the window closes on Thursday evening or on Friday before start of play so you are correct 'if' he stays for a few weeks then he must occupy a squad place and that will remain 'used up' until January
