I would be delighted if Leicester didn't pursue a bid for Ulloa.
They can think what they like.

Has any team gone into administration while receiving parachute payments? I doubt it.
Ok, You don't think Reading are on the edge then?
Fulham's wage bill last season was £67 million (it will have risen this season), their parachute payment will be £18 million.
Depends on the owner.
Palace did with Gayle. Ulloa played in La Liga.
Leicester did I think.

It is not a matter of what I would do as it's not my money but that's what Palace paid for Dwight Gayle, look at what United paid for Zaha, Conner Wickham went for a fortune and we shifted Bridcutt to sunderland for £4 million and he is a defensive midfielder. I am not for a minute suggesting he is worth that but when championship clubs know premier league cash is on the table the price is usually higher than you would expect. That is if this even happens of course as at the moment this is paper talk nothing else but with the amount of goals scored in a fairly defensive setup I can see why clubs would be having a look
no we didnt

Loads of teams make losses in the tens of millions whist receiving Parachute Payments. Bolton, Blackburn and Wolves last season are no exception, and they didn't even have a top 6 finish between them.
And scored5.. wow prolific
and so has Gayle
. He has scored against Real Madrid and Arsenal, aswell.Fair point, and i dont blame any club for increasing the price for a premier league side, i think we'd do the same.. I just think the mantra at leicester has changed now, we wont spend that kind of money unless the player has previous premier league experience, but even more is the fact that he is slow. we have fast players throughout our side so I dont see how he would get into our current side. I hope he stays with you, moving to us or any other premier league team would be a mistake.
and so has Gayle
yes but the rumour isnt about Gayle its about Ulloa, 2 million and their might be some truth in it, not 6.5 tho.. seriously
And you think that is the most important thing for a club owner
it is what it is.. im not gonna make apologies for having billionaire owners.
My point is that Gayle cost £6 million, why should we accept any lower if we don't want to sell. We paid £2 million for him so why would we sell him to you for that price?

We've made quite a few tough calls and made cuts to try and get the finances in order to meet FFP requirements. At no stage has TB made came out and just paid for debts to go away as has happened with Leicester.
Can LC say they have done that?

We paid £2.5 for him, and he's scored a goal every other game. You are deluded.
