We'd been tracking Ulloa for 18 months before we signed him, we also tried to sign him in Summer 2012 transfer window but found out he wouldn't get a work permit. It's entirely possible that he was one of Aranalde's last suggestions before leaving, there is also the possibility that Aranalde became aware of Ulloa while coaching at Albacete (they were in the same div that Ulloa was playing in) and recommend him to the club anyway.
That's what I said above, & the fact that Aranalde returned as international scout for us in Sept. 2012.
Can't be Burke, he knows nothing about football apparently.
Can anyone remember who recommended Ulloa in the first place?
Stephenson,,,,,It certainly wasn't Burke if that's what your inferring.
Wouldn't dream of it Kev. Only a complete lunatic would think that the head of recruitment, twelve months after starting his job, would have anything at all to do with the second largest signing in the history of the club.
