8 million for a decent Championship striker is par for the course, when you look at Rhodes. We were lucky finding Leo in Spain for just €2 million.
Leicester won't sell him, but hope they do the same as QPR & get back up.
When Aranalde found Ulloa, there were problems with his passport which is why we had to wait 18 months for the Spanish second division's highest scorer.
I think you are over simplifying it.
The phrasing of 'haven't bothered' is quite emotive. It's quite possible that the scouts haven't found anyone as good as Ulloa, or the timing is wrong, or that the striker concerned wasn't interested in us. As most transfers negotiations are private, we don't know who or what the targets are.
