That's an incredible figure, absolutely no way we or virtually anyone else can turn that sort of money down.

Not bad for a club with no ambition! Leo only went when the offer was too good to refuse, and that deal quite frankly was.
A terrific bit of business, that not only nets us a good deal of cash but also establishes Tony Bloom's credentials in negotiations.
I sincerely hope this will enable us to complete the squad reboot now. Also i have every confidence in Leo to fulfil his part of the bargain and get us the extra £2million, I'll be cheering every goal!

Unbelievable business, however it just has to be reinvested into the team.
Oh and for the record I wish Leo well but I have my doubts about him at that level, with that fee over his head he won't have much time up there to prove himself. He'll either play a big part in keeping them up or will drop back with them after 1 season costing Pearson his job. I think it might be the later. Leicester seem to be still mainly buying top end Championship players, I'm not sure that is going to keep them up.

Stop bloody moaning!
Fantastic business by the club. Well done TB.
Thankyou, Leo, for some very good memories.
I hope he does very well for his new club, not just because it'll mean more dosh for us, but because he's a smashing guy. Good luck to the big man.

Don't be so negative.Fantastic bit of business. Mind you of Ulloa hits 20 and keeps the Foxes up he has gone for a cheap price.
Shame there wasn't another club interested - maybe we could have got a bit more if there was a bidding war
Now don't get greedy.Good thought though.

Fantastic price...... now all I want to see is the money put back into the team. I don't necessarily expect big ales as wages and agents fees bite into the costs too but Id expect us to put a pretty good Championship squad together now.
8m out and two good players in for a combined total of 500k - good business!.... so far.

Don't expect a marquee signing. £8m will prob give us a £4m profit after fees, etc, which won't buy much these days. Would prefer it is invested in a couple of good youngsters with potential rather than an ex PL has been.

This. I would have thought Gus may have been interested at least!

This is the gamble.
I hope there will be a decent sell on clause if Ulloa strikes gold and becomes in demand by other clubs in the PL this time next year.

Colloquially termed as a "Zaha" over here although it has 2 meanings (1 - to cheat by feigning injury or dive preferably in the box to gain a penalty or 2 - to sell at an over the odds price to a pretentious buyer.)

He's just spent 14M on a striker
Wow. A truly wonderful piece of business by Tony Bloom and the club. The £8M upfront is particularly impressive. Let's hope that a large proportion of the money is now invested in new players and that we can start the new season off with confidence that we're going to do well.

Wow. I never thought I'd see an Albion player go for that much money.

Ah!
I must admit I haven't been paying much attention to the football transfers in the PL to date.
