Excellent news.

 

[SeagullSongs]

The club seem to like a 9pm announcement. Maybe one tonight? It'd clash with the UNVEILING of the NSC 'Most prolific' 2012 list.

Gustavo Poyet se lleva a Ulloa al Brighton - MARCA.com

"José Leonardo Ulloa, delantero del Almería, será presentado próximamente como nuevo jugador del Brighton, equipo que milita en la segunda categoría del fútbol inglés y que entrena el ex zaragocista Gustavo Poyet.

El delantero argentino, que llegó al Almería en 2010 procedente del Castellón, se unirá así a otros ex jugadores de la Liga española como Bruno Saltor, David López, Íñigo Calderón, Andrea Orlandi o el ex internacional Vicente Rodríguez."

Roughly:

Almeria forward Jose Leonardo Ulloa will shortly be presented as a new player at Brighton, a team in the second tier of English football and which is trained by ex-Zaragoza player Gustavo Poyet.

The Argentinean forward, who signed for Almeria in 2010 from Castellon will join former Spanish league players Bruno Saltor, David Lopez, Andrea Orlandi and Inigo Calderon, as well as former international Vicente Rodriguez.

One of the comments under that link basically calls us a tin pot outfit, saying he's too good for us, it's a step backwards, and that his career will never move forward if he comes here.

Sounds familiar

Can't see it happening myself!

Reading some very interesting comments from Spanish fans - seems he's very good with his head, fairly quick and very strong on the ball with good close control. If true that sounds like exactly what we need.

[Sergei's Celebration]

Quite a few Spanish websites are reporting he'll be unveiled soon.

I love the thought of an unveiling...He stands there with a blue sheet over him and Gus says 'presenting....Ulloa' and whips off the sheets with Leonardo in full kit and big smile underneath.

If that is true i am rather excited. If its not, i'll go back to being bored.

That ties up with what I've read, strong, powerful shot, good at penalties and headers. Exactly what we need if true.
