£10m for Ulloa!!!! **Official that Leo has gone**

[Dick Head]

Pace over a few yards,a good first touch,positional sense,quick with feet,he will do well higher up..It will mainly come down to attitude,whether he can settle up there and if he can stay injury free..

You never know, he could even end up at Crystal Palace.

He probably will...

 

[Dick Head]

Ha!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Leicester are going down.

Amazing business for Brighton - can get 3-4 decent players for that.

They'll have a good Championship squad if they do.

 

[Kumquat]

They'll have a good Championship squad if they do.

But lots will leave too if they go down.

Think this is a fantastic deal. A reminder of how lucky we are to have Bloom at the helm.

Let's also give some praise to Gus Poyet too......

I agree, as a few of his signings have been sold on for profit.

Some would say well he had a budget/funds,but some like Liam came for free..

 

[Postman Pat]

Quite. Southampton's players sell for "top whack" because they are international class (Bale, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott, Shaw, Lallana). Ours are merely decent players (yes, I realise Bridcutt is an international, but, come on: Scotland!). There's a world of difference.

And they are all British, that bumps up the value to Champions League clubs too.

As said before why does Gus get the praise and Burke get the criticism?

Shouldn't the praise go to the clubs management/executive structure, inclusively?

Well......well you have a point,but i still feel a player will ultimately listen to a manager/coach,when the final decision is made,call Burke a secretary of sorts..

Player-do i like this club,yes,can i get conditions,yes,the clubs reps have sold it to me-

Player-now do i like this manager & what can he do for me? Gus Poyet really wants me-

Some of the purchases were before Burke arrived such as Barnes, Noone and Bridcutt. Gus also made sure that he met players personally (as witnessed by CMS) even flying out to Spain several times to talk to Ulloa.

That would simply mean you give the manager all the praise and all the criticism, so SB's point stands.

I would has as a guess i think like a chairman..

 

[Stat Brother]

I think we can safely say screwing Almeria for as little as possibly £300K, and Leicester for anywhere up to £10m is squarely down to the chairman.

For that deal alone the rest of football will be running scared from Tony.

 

[dangull]

I would welcome Leo back in the future if it doesn't work out well at Leicester. Who could forget that dramatic winner at Forest and the celebrations from everyone and other great goals as well.

Where has that come from?

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Where has that come from?

5%-10% sell on ,of the potential profit on Leo's fee...

 

[Horses Arse]

Where has that come from?

Think the majority of the £2m fee was to agents or third party owners from memory? If so then the percentage sell on presumably is based on the fee to the club rather than the overall payment
