I would rather we spend £10 million on someone to play the Baldock role
And I think the majority of fans would agree with you

We've moved on. We have Glenn and Tomer Hemed to score the lions share of our goals now. Yes we still have a need for another attacker, but that should be someone a lot more mobile and with more pace than Leo.
No we don't. We have Murray and Knockaert to score the lion's share of our goals now. Reckon the return of Ulloa in January might well have been the twinkle in TB's eye when asked the January striker question at the informal fans forum recently. Fingers crossed eh?
We should talk to Toronto about Giovinco - ok he's tiny - but a speedy genius. Would be just the style and quality we need.
Yeah, I overrate a player who scored a goal every 2 Championship games.IMO the most overrated striker/player we've had in the last 22 years of me watching the club.
Have people forgot how average he was with the ball at his feet? He seemed to spend most of the matches rolling around on the floor whinging at the ref. Murray is twice the player Ulloa is. I'd even go far enough to say Hemed is better too. Price tags mean nothing these days. The only reason Ulloa's worth £10 million is because players like Andy Carroll are worth £35 million.
Hughton doesn't seem stupid enough to sign a player like Ulloa. If/when we get promoted this season, Ulloa will suddenly become below the standard required to play week in week out for us and yet we would have splashed out £10 million on him! I imagine we'll be looking at strikers like Sinclair and Dembelle of Celtic for that quick nippy centre forward we'll be craving once we're up. Ulloa seems a nice bloke, but that's simply not enough these days. We're no longer the club who clapped the likes of Kerry Mayo and Jake Robinson week in week out for being, erm, local, loyal and crap.
Fair in the air, poor on the floor. We made good cash...move on.
I don't know why you have a downer on Hemed. He'll score a lot more goals than Knockaert this season.
£10m must be around the figure where the sell-on clause would kick in. Ideally a couple of clubs will get in a little tug of war for him, bump the price up by £2-3m and the Albion will get yet another chunk of cash.
