Impeccable source.

[GingerBeerMan]

Neither did he...

Let's be honest, he probably would have if he had a full season. He was certainly good enough to. But good enough to reject £7m for? Not a chance.

 

[saafend_seagull]

Hahahaha.

Most pathetic group of fans in football.

Everyone moaning how rubbish he was jan, and feb.

Similar championship strike rate in a terrible team.

Ulloa style doesn't fit samis.

£4.5m gain after ulloa profit and ended up with a decent championship striker for free in effect.

Bring in another striker like baldock for £2m and we would have a good set of 3 strikers with Shamir as back up.

Beat Sheffield Wednesday on opening day an all will be forgotten...well for at least three days

Don't be ridiculous. If COG does not score at least 3 goals he will be slaughtered on here as an utter failure.

 

[TomandJerry]

"source" instead of "sauce" - it can't be true then!

 

[stripeyshark]

Damn.

£7M is great and everything, but it won't score 20+ goals in the Championship next season.

Neither would Ulloa.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Why has it taken two months for this deal to happen? He was always going to leave, and the price was always going to be £7million odd. Now we're just three weeks away from the first match of the season and will necessarily have to rush through our squad rebuilding.

It sounds like we've got our price, but right now we've lost the spine of the side, with Kuszczak, Upson, Bridcutt and Ulloa all gone and nothing concrete in its place. Is that £12 million now in the bank? T'riffic.

 

[Diego Napier]

I've forgotten the words already

Really? Well it's:

"Who was that man from....from...."

Sorry, lost it too.

 

[Ali_rrr]

Hahahaha.

I don't think Baldock is good enough if we're being ambitious. He's a quality League One player, but I don't think he could cut it at the top of the Championship.

 

[Bladders]

Well we've mugged somebody.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I remember O'Grady a few years back for Rochdale against us. He looked half decent then - very difficult to get the ball off..

If he does as well as some other former Rochdale strikers then I won't complain. (Rickie Lambert, Grant Holt, er, FFS Murray ...)

 

[Albumen]

Good business. He was good but he wasn't amazing. Now strengthen the squad with the cash please.

 

[Bwian]

Ambition? What's that?

You need a new club if you think the last four years doesn't show ambition.

 

[16bha]

Oh well on to the next messiah whoever that maybe

Ulloa wasn't the Messiah. He's just a very naughty boy!

 

[Bwian]

Well, what a surprise! Can we actually have any confidence that his fee will be spent on replacements? NO!

Can we ever expect you to stop moaning? NO!

 

[fat old seagull]

He's gone £7.5 great deal for us.

 

[Justice]

I think you have to do this in the modern game. The only way you will attract the best young talent is if they see you as a club that can further their career, or with you or as a stepping stone.

If Ulloa was being sold to a Championship rival, then yes we could certainly question our ambition. However Ulloa to be fair to him has earnt a crack at the Premier League and I don't think we should really be a club that stands in the way of that. Had we got promoted, brilliant, hopefully he would have stayed. But we didn't and we certainly can't blame him for wanting a chance to play at the top level.

We've got an excellent price for him, and I really hope he does well. Thanks Leo, it was great while it lasted.

Why has he earnt his crack at the PL ? he couldnt score in four play off games.

Spot on.

And as for the 12 mill in the bank, that's a laugh.

I doubt very much whether we'll see even 5 of that put back in to the playing side of things.

 

[carteater]

its weird that if we don't sign Ward, all four nominees for player of the season won't be at the club next season...

 

[Mellotron]

Of course it is. You'd think we're nailed on for relegation the way the board has gone into meltdown.

Some of the comments on here atm are absolutely hilarious, genuinely.
