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

[Doc Lynam]

£4million is taking the piss and wasting our time.

Get you Alan Sugar!

 

[B.W.]

We've already turned down £5M in the last window (allegedly), so why would we accept £4M now!? Time to tell Leicester to make a serious bid or **** off. ****ing p1ss-taking clowns.

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

It will now depend on whether Ulloa's head has been turned, I presume he wants Premiership football. If he decides to go it will reduce the price if we think he will sulk!

In which case, we hold out until transfer deadline day, and try to encourage a bidding war.

We do not roll over and accept derisory offers.

Leicester have 180 million to spend !!

 

[Barrel of Fun]

He's presumably cost us more than £4m in total.

Start at £180m and find a reasonable meeting point.

 

[Nathan]

Cheeky bar stewards leicester.

If we say 7million then do one with offers less than that. Don't insult us.

How come posh get 10m for delight gayle

Good point.

Not quite sure where all this "leicester are taking the piss" nonsence is coming from.

Well within their rights to bid whatever the hell they want. All we do is politely say no until the offer is too good to reject.

Threads when bids for our players are made are always 500% more dramatic than the actual bidding process.

I think people are more annoyed that they are only increasing their bids by £0.5million each time, so it's seemingly inevitable that it will take days before they reach a value we can't refuse.

Indeed. But if we were bidding for a player 11 weeks before a season starts I would want us to do the exact same thing.

They have time to test our resolve. All we do is say no until the magic number is hit.

For what it's worth, if the magic number is anywhere above £6m id be STAGGERED. Think Leicester could get a lot better for their money (and I like Leo a lot )

Yes, or they decide to look elsewhere.

So if you put your house on the market at £300K and someone bid £150K and increased their bid in instalments of £10K you'd be OK with that because it's their right to bid what they want? Or would you think they might be a timewaster?

It would be fantastic if they did look elsewhere.

We didnt put Ulloa on the market so your example is void.

 

[Kumquat]

Who cares? He'll go or he won't and if he does we'll get a lot of money for the new manager to spend.

What if you'd bought the house for £80k originally, it was now beginning to a look a bit tatty and the market value was probably £200k?

I like this game

 

[stripeyshark]

Ideally, we need one main striker, two interchangeable others, and someone young coming through the system.

Hardly. We've made it clear we are after £10M. With this in mind, Leicester are taking the p1ss. Now, if they doubled their bid, then I'm sure we'd start to listen.

Except that according to various media reports Leicester have made a number of bids for Ulloa. This would indicate that Bloom has taken at least 2 calls. If he is prepared to take the calls and listen to the offers then I'd argue that Ulloa is, in effect, on the market. Otherwise, why didn't Bloom tell them to eff off after the first call, or even the second? Another indicator is that there is no statement yet from the club that Ulloa is not for sale. That would kill this speculation dead.

Increasingly my philosophy. Plus ca change and all that. BHAFC are always going to get raped by someone higher up the food chain (see also Southampton FC). Only Real Madrid and Barca are exempt from this phenomena. If it happens then bring on the lolly and let's go shopping bitches.

When did we.

I love the idea of Burke, Bloom and Barber sashaying round the Upper East Side of Manhattan, laden with designer bags, a la Sex and the City.
