Decent wingers needed more now then ever

Just pooped on to the United forum and:

Their concerns seem to mirror ours when one of our players is under threat. I take it as positive that he is so highly rated by them. I'm sure Blackburn will also be made aware that we are checking out alternatives to Marshall, just so they realise we may take our money elsewhere.

I would sooner we signed an out and out wide man rather than a striker playing wide.

You have to be kidding?!
After championing the signing of Grabban yesterday because 'he plays on the left of a front 3'.
WUM!

 

[TSB]

I would MUCH rather have Jamie Murphy than the Blackburn lad... even the Blackburn fans don't rate him highly. Given reports on Jamie he's precisely what we need

Drunk at Midday??
He's one of their favourite players.
You'd much rather have a bloke who's been playing in a lower league, why?

No idea what that means or how reliable.

It is occasionally reliable, but mixes good info with a lot of guesswork in my opinion.



However, it is good to hear as I really want this transfer to happen

Because he would have provided and scored goals but the situation and needs have now changed with the weekends business and signing BZ We now need a provider more so than a converter of chances. Grabban would have been to keep Baldock and Hemed as our 2 main strikers and he provide the support.

Naylor rubbished the Murphy deal a while back, so that can only be a good sign...

They won't like that.

Yer utterly bollocksed already.........

I'm merely going on info from my Blackburn friends, I'm a northerner with a little knowhow on the Blackburns and Bolton's etc. He's not highly rated among circles of STH I know.
The Sheffield lad has been on other clubs forum radars all summer, there is a good reason why and if you do your due diligence on him you'll realise why.

Totally agree re Marshall. He's the one of the wingers we've been linked with this summer who I really want us to sign. Murphy is proven in League 1 but so was CMS (and Baldock although I think he'll come good this season) and the Alireza Jahanbakhsh has never played in England before. Marshall on the other hand is proven at Championship level and is highly rated by all his former clubs from what I can see. Would be a great signing although I'm not sure how much higher we can afford to go with the bidding (if reports are accurate). All depends on Marshall though as, if he wants to leave, it will be easier.

Palace coah driver??

I would be happy to bring Elliott Bennett back as the provider either bought or loan as it appears he is surplus to requirememnts at Norwich and Wolves are trying to get him on a season loan according to Sunday papers.

There's Albion STH who hated Leo. And around 50% on here thought Ash was pony.
If you do a little online research, you'll see how Marshall is rated. And, well, their manager wanted £5 million for him.
Murphy could be good, but he's a punt whereas Marshall's the real deal.

What kind of nobs were they? That's mental

Seem to recall a few on here banging on about how overrated he was (slow, lazy, moans too much etc) too.

I'd take any deal that included Wood plus cash. Wood is better IMO.

If we are going to play 2 up front then I would prefer Wood to Ulloa, perhaps with CMS. I think we could do a deal here and improve our chances next season considerably. Pace and power.

Take the money, but try to get it up to say £4m, all paid upfront.
Ulloa is a reasonable finisher, but his chronic lack of pace and mobility, makes us very predictable for defences to get organised.
At nearly 28 and with his injury record, that negative in his game is only going to get worse.

In addition, he seems to lose most battles for aerial balls with central defenders & his constant whining to refs only serves to get the officials seemingly against him.

Tend to agree with the above, £4 mill cash and done deal

I don't disagree with that at all. Pace in attack is what I'm praying the new manager will bring with him. I like Leo he has done ok, but not quite quick enough. A lump of cash and maybe Woods sounds alright IMO.

His passing is not all that either and is a bit of a lump sometimes

I think TB would sell for £4m

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.

As an effective striker, Leon Knight was better, Glenn Murray was better and Ashley Barnes was better. IMHO, like. Think Ulloa's, er, big-bonedness will always count against him. Might be wrong, tho probably not. To quote the old cliche, he's got the turning circle of the QEII.

He's not quick enough to be effective in the Prem

If the new manager is going to play one up front I would sell Leo, he doesn't seem to like being a lone striker, always frustrated at not getting decisions, not enough pace, so £7m would be a great return. If the new manager goes for two up top I would love to see him stay, I don't think oscar played to Leo's strengths, which is why he looked so frustrated. Having said that I don't think you can question his love of the fans after the Forest and Derby games, at Derby he fought through the crowd invasion to applaud the fans

No doubt there's plenty more elsewhere.

Indeed it is, but saying Ulloa was worth flogging for £4m?

Excellent business, and history has proved TB tucked 'em up good and proper.

Pleased to be wrong. Never hated him as the poster intimated, just rated him at 4 mill. Wish I could be right all the time.

I thought Ulloa was the best striker we had since Zamora, and even I only wanted 5 million. Shows what I know.

All the facepalms on the planet are not enough for those quotes.


Leo scored 1 goal every 2 Championship games near enough, and if he doesn't make Leicester's 25 man squad, then I'd have him back on a season loan in a split second.
