Leo is a proven goalscorer at championship level. Even when half fit he has still managed to get 16 goals for us this season. Finding players with that sort of strike rate is very difficult, why on earth would we be interested in selling him?

Only Jordan Rhodes had a better strike rate this season, in the whole league. And Leo didn't play anywhere near as well as last season to achieve that.

Leo Ulloa is a very, very, very, very good footballer at this level.

We'd sell him if the money was right, it would be a shame but its what happens. If a team was to offer 4 or 5 million it would be quite difficult to turn down.

I think TB would sell for £4m

Why? he'd have to spend more to get those goals back. I don't think we'll sell voluntarily. If Leo's head gets turned then maybe that changes things, but it makes no sense for us to let those goals walk out the door.

Its all well and good taking the money but we would need to replace his goals which will cost us a lot of money. In the Championship in the 18 months he has been here his minutes per goal on the pitch is one of the best in the championship. Best bet is to build a team around him. A fully fit Ulloa all season with better service is 25+ goals per season which maybe the difference between going up or making the playoffs and not. If we made it up he is a player who I think will also score at the top level. Not as many but he has given Arsenal, Hull, Leicester Palace and Newcastle all a run for their money over the past 18 months and all of those will be playing Premier League football next year.

You can get this fellow for probably about 2 million (1 million market value, but on contract until 2016)...

... 16 goals and 6 assists last season (including 5 goals in Champions and Europa League).

Only 23 years old, and if he could score against Machester City, Shakhtar Donetsk and Olympique Lyon, he might be able to do the same in the Championship.

Sign him up. If only for his variant take on the typical youtube video.

If we do end up selling lets hope some of the money is pumped into the playing budget and not lost in the ffp sinkhole

For a permanently lardy, permanently isolated big bloke up front, I'd take the £3 million on offer. He's really not all that. Really.
