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

[Mackenzie]

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

Oh ok, so not his transfer fee then.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Where has that come from?

I remember it as around €2 million

Edit - already explained as above.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

No but i must admit it reads like that..to me as well

 

[chaileyjem]

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.

TB is a tough negotiator but credit to Paul Barber too who is "responsible for outgoing transfers" via

Hmmm, I know I'm not giving PB enough credit, but having a high stakes poker player sitting at the top of the pyramid does make me wonder.

PB - Now Tony.
TB - wait a minute.

PR - Now Tony

Oh and how the hell can you read the Argus site.
All that pain doesn't seem to warrant just 'the truth'.
There must be something more in it for you, to put up with that torture.

I even buy it most days too.

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..

i'm not convinced he will do well in the prem. but one things for sure, he definitely isn't quick and rarely showed a good first touch.

Quite clearly he has something about him,even Palace who have a habit of getting decent strikers over the years were prepared to bid £5m..

 

[Gritt23]

Great business. Now to spend it, and spend it wisely. Toxteth O'Grady is NOT the replacement.

If so, I hope you subscribe to the electronic edition through the app store - you'll save yourself a fortune.

$46.34 (yes, US $) for a year's subscription, as opposed to 65p per day.

you may be right. i generally liked his attitude and he often pleased me with what he did on the pitch. but probably too often for my liking his negative attributes frustrated me. maybe, being in a tougher division will bring the best out of him. it's a good deal for us and i wish him the best.

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.

When Toko's signing was reported, his agent told the Argus that Burke had visited Switzerland

and all the plans he showed us were very impressive.

I think these days, probably more than ever before, it is a collective effort in "selling" the club to a prospective signing.

 

[Dan Aitch]

Some reporting that Leicester are looking to shift Chris Wood now.

If we'd wanted Wood, he would have been part of the deal for Leo.

 

[Dan Aitch]

If we'd wanted Wood, he would have been part of the deal for Leo.

Maybe he was - I never know the mysterious ways in which football deals work. Perhaps he had to be allowed to trim his toenails or sign some endorsement or other first.

This constant "how much of that will be spent on the squad" is very boring. The answer can only be "As much as we can afford". To be honest if any one of us had stuck the fat end of £120m into a football club and then people whinged when a player sells for £8-10m that's it's not all going back into the club then I'd get very peeved!

Aside from commissions, sell on fees, legals and everything else I'd want some of it going into the general fund to reduce the clubs debt.

This is a quality piece of business and I, for one, fully support TB, PB and the club and see the future as very bright and sustainable ... how many clubs can say that?

I think the club will spend it only if the right player/players become available. They wont just spunk it on anyone Spurs style.

Got to say originally I thought 8M - that's a good deal all round but having now watched many of his goals on YouTube I'm feeling slightly sad that he's leaving, football is football every player has a price and 8M for him is a great deal but I will miss Leo massively if I'm honest, let's hope his replacement is at the same standard.

Thanks for the goals Leo & especially this one:

One of the great days that was, and my 10 year old daughters first away game. Never tire of watching it.

It was the last time I got to sing 'Who's that Man for Argentina' in anger, as I was on holiday during the playoffs, and I'm pretty sure it was sung for the first time the previous season away at Forest.


Maybe its for the best that thats my last memory of the great man.

 

[spring hall convert]

They sold Bale to Spurs for £7m, and we sold Ulloa for between 8 and 10 million, but you think they're the ones getting top whack.

That provides a fair amount of context.
