Leicester Bid £3 /£5/£7.5 million for Ulloa

[chaileyjem]

Very good - I knew as I typed that someone would post that picture! One moment in time does not equate to looking interested/motivated against Barnsley for example.

Yep. Understood. And know what you mean. I'd say though frustrated, isolated, exhuasted is not necessarily the same as uninterested or unmotivated but yep Leo, like most strikers to be fair, had a few disappointing matches last season.

As I said earlier in the thread - anything over 6-7M I personally would let him go, on his day he's an utter beast but he's quite inconsistent and spends too much time failing to win free kicks. I like him as a bloke & a player don't get me wrong but that is a hell of a lot of money, 7M and I think he's Leicester's.

The good thing is the bargaining chips are in our hand, we don't need to sell & hopefully Ulloa will remain professional unlike Bridcutt & not hand in a transfer request.

All of which i agree with,however as to bargaining chips,IMO are only in our hand if the new manager sanctions the sale and we have a replacement ready to sign at the same time.

Only the mods and the NSC Illuminati will be told and they'll have to swear a blood oath not to reveal it to anyone else

But you can be sure they'll drop hints at every opportunity to make it painfully obvious to everyone that they're in the know.

Here's hoping Leicester drop out due to the asking price. TBH I think they may well do better looking elsewhere, despite Leo being far and away our best striker.

Foxes talk made me laugh on their forum they really haven't got a clue, last comment so funny

Callabinho say's .. This is ridiculous, he isn't worth over £1 million let alone 5, I can't believe we're chasing this with such effort, he only dominated us due to a three day piss up. He won't justify that hideous price tag in the premier league.

Oh Dear

Well he's got a 50/50 chance of that hasn't he.

Or, alternatively they go straight for an £7-8M offer and finalise the deal. Either way, we need closure on this soon, so we can get on with building a promotion winning team (once we've got a manager of course).

 

[Icy Gull]

We need another club to show interest and then we'll be on our way to closer to 10 million.

He is gone isn't he, whatever we settle for?

'far and away' so... no.

No. Only if the bid meets our asking price.

The Leicester owners boasted about having 180 million to spend this summer.

So the price needs to be 10 million minimum, or go elsewhere.

And with the new Premier League TV deal, prices will go through the roof, so past striker valuations have no relevance.

That's the worst subjective view I've read today XD That's like saying we can't value bread because of inflation.

I'd agree with that. The chairman would've been better of saying they are going to be spending within their own means. Any club chairman now is going to bump up the price because of a comment aimed at pleasing the fans.

Maybe Ulloa will pretend he is injured and won`t play in any games now . . . hang on there are no games until August!!

They keep being miss-quoted.

He said: "It will take a huge amount of money, possibly 10bn Thai Baht (£180m), to get there (the top five). That doesn't put us off."
Srivaddhanaprabha added: "I am asking for three years, and we'll be there.
"We won't take the huge leap to challenge the league's top five clubs immediately.
"Do we have a chance to beat them? Yes, we have, but I think we need to establish our foothold in the league first and then we think about our next step.

Leicester won't spend anywhere near £180 million this summer.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

I'm sure Leo will go to the PL if he wants to go.

But it won't be for a 5 million derisory fee at the START of the transfer window.

 

[Footsoldier]

If Leo does go then can we get a replacement in first this time as we always seem to do things arse about face.

 

[beorhthelm]

where's this coming from? because a Leicester fan spoke to hasn't heard of this one at all. isnt generally uninformed and had a view on Upson (wasnt sure they needed).

I'm sure spending millions on a player to replace one you hadn't sold yet would be doing things 'arse about face'
