37k a week wages, is that what he is going to get ... no wonder he suddenly developed a need to play in the premiership
The story of Leo and how he developed his carrier with BHA, scored goals, was a hero with the fans and we didn't stand in his way when the chance of the Premier League came along ( with £37k pw wages) should be one that we use with our CF targets across Europe. The key to this being a good deal for us is if we can get an adequate replacement. We must have known he was likely to go for quite some time now and therefore David Burke should have been doing his research. Now time for him to deliver. Replace with a similar standard for £2-4m and what a great deal it will have been.
Andy Naylor tweeting its a done deal (4 year) - announcement in the morning
We knowNaylor saying on twitter he has signed a 4 year deal
All I've seen in the last 2 seasons is a gradual departure of proven quality leave our squad!..
Why's that.
We've not shafted Leicester with some crooked no-mark.
If they are confident they can deliever goal scoring passes:-
Ulloa WILL score.
If Ulloa scores and Leicester are capable of keeping clean sheets against 6 average teams:-
Leicester WILL stay in the Premier League.
If Leicester stay up because of Ulloa's goals:-
£10m (as it will be then) will mean they got Leo for next to nothing.
Fantastic deal all round.
Goalscorers aren't cheap.
There are a lot of "ifs" in there.
Nice deal!! Well done TB!!!
Now Burke...get your finger out of your backside and start signing players to get us in the prem... 'Lets do this!!'

Over 4 years, I make that £7,696,000.00. No Albion fan can blame the guy.
Leicester taking all the risk here, good luck to them and to Leo, thanks for the good times.

Not at all. Fans aren't complaining about parachute payments being used to pay a team' existing players, it's the fact that they can also afford to go and buy plenty more, purely because of parachute payments (and their use in FFP).It's for contracts like these that parachute payments exist. It's not improbable that Leicester will come straight back down next season, but they will still have to pay 2m (+2m annual contract amortisation) to the same player that we were paying 500k a year for.
So that's 4m (per year) on a single player out of the 18m that people are saying shouldn't be counted in relegated sides FFP calculations. I'm sure most fans would change their tune about the unfairness of it all if we were in the same position as Leicester

Fixed.He's gone now so everyone can bang on about whether or not it was the right decision for the next four years
