Are you happy with Ulloa out and O'Grady in?

[The_Viper]

Doesn't seem like the sort of trade a promotion chasing side makes. Seems Ulloa was right in the lack of ambition/investment.

I didn't think this beforehand but if Ulloa is off and O'Grady is in I do wonder if we will end up in a relegation battle this season.

 

[Surf's Up]

No.

At the very worst with no new players we would still finish mid table.

Ah right. So we're not allowed to buy anyone else then?

 

[Grombleton]

I've not seen O'Grady play for us, so i can't decide whether he will be good or whether i'll be happy. I'm surprised other people can.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

I'll wait myself,and if the worst happens,then perhaps we were not quite ready for the Championship,never mind any higher..

But no,not happy...

 

[Icy Gull]

If the club tell us O'Grady is Leo's replacement I'll be pretty underwhelmed but I'll happily give him the chance before slagging him off. 7 million is too much to turn down IMO.

 

[Napper]

If more to follow up front then I'm happy. Replacement then no

Look at O'Grady's record. He's no Ulloa or Murray or CMS. I think what worries people is that we have now got over 11m in fees for top players (all now prem players) and we are looking at signing a guy who (whilst will be a good squad player) has had one half decent season at Barnsley. I am getting worried now and I am not a bed wetter.

Saw O'Grady in a zBarnsley game last season - running around like a headless chicken is the best way of describing him

Change of style of play. Not lumping it to a big man in the middle all the time. It has its advantages, but it means keeping Buckley and Lualua.

 

[GolfingGull]

I'm pretty sure the club will spend a large chunk of the fee reinvesting in the squad. Have faith and patience people, we'll be fine in the long run.

Perfect compliment for CMS

 

[Forster's Armband]

Hope your right.

 

[Tubby-McFat-Fuc]

Have to say yes. £7.5m for Ulloa is stupid money, and we had to take it.

If O'Grady is a direct replacement for Leo, I'll be pissed off

But we lost Spanish Rod, Barnes and Hoskins from the striker list in the past 6 months, so pleased with the O'Grady signing, but not if he is the main striker!

We can't sign anyone if the club isn't prepared to pay the wages , we can't get the ward deal done coz we are worried over a couple of grand.

I can see what you mean, but CMS has a poor record at this level (compared to L1) and Ulloa was unproven in the UK before we signed him. Ok, he's not a stellar signing but if he works in our system then i don't see the issue with it.

Christ have I missed august and it's now September 1?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

In some respects, O'Grady WILL be Leo's replacement, and in others, not.

By that, I mean that he'll replace him in the SQUAD as, the 'big centre forward', but because of the change of style I'm expecting, that role will be a much less significant one, and the role of 'star striker' will be filled by somebody else.

In my opinion, like.
