My mate who’s kids at the same school (Leicester Grammar School) said the girl was off for a while but recently returned but with headscarf! Read into that what you will.

Naylor says it's close but not done.

The last thing we need is a squad place and part of the budget, taken by yet another player with no PL pace.
Seems that desparate Barber & Hughton going down that ssssslllllooooowww road.

I look forward to welcoming him back to The Amex, he is an upgrade on what we have and a year and a half younger than Cristiano Ronaldo, so his best years are still to come!

I agree neither Murray nor Ulloa will be able to give everything for a whole 90+ minutes. However, if Murray gives everything for one half, and Ulloa for the other, then between them they should be able to be in the penalty area to convert the chances we create for them.

Be careful, people on this board of scared of logic like that.... I think most people here are religious

Positive thinking, good point, god I hope so.
But we need to buy in better creators and wingers, to support and make chances for them.

Alternatively, perhaps it'll be useful to bring in a proven goalscorer who knows what the Premier League is all about and won't have any trouble settling into the club... as opposed to another £15-20m unknown quantity.

That is how I see it and for modest cost. It could be a masterstroke.

Like Locadia?
I suspect our wingers will be Locadia, March or Izquierdo, with Gross supporting Murray or Ulloa for the rest of the season if we play 4-4-1-1 (or 3 - 3 - 2 -1 if Gross/Kayal plays as the 3rd midfielder with the 2 wingers playing as wing backs).

Can Locadia play effectively out wide? I genuinely don't know.
I think he can - despite the description of him as a striker, he's really more of an Izquierdo type player who can play wide and cut inside.

Locadia has said himself he is more of a second striker.
His assist rate is pretty good. He could play the role that March played in the match against Chelsea, or play out wide depending on what formation we play.

If he is only on loan then surely Leicester will still be paying his wages (as happened when we had on loan Wayne Bridge from Man City).
We then make a payment to Leicester for the loan (£1m + whatever), and it is not classified as wages.

Leicester don’t tvink he’s anywhere near good enough for the Prem. I’m afraid to say they were right about AK, they are right about Leo. Loved him in the Championship but we need better.

We'll pay much or all of his wages.
We were a skint Championship club when we took Bridge on loan.

I read into it that you are broadcasting potentially sensitive things you know nothing of and should leave Ulloa to decide whether he wants the world to know.

Yes, but the same principle applies. Thechnically Leicester would be paying his wages, even if we give Leicester an equivelent sum as part of the "transfer fee". It's a round about way of not breaking our wage structure.

strong and stable with me, or...
They've got £80m worth of strikers – Ulloa has still be making the bench and making sub appearances, all be it very limited, so your statement that they didn't think he was 'anywhere near good enough' is wrong, they've simply got too many strikers. If we can't get better, I'd take Ulloa in a heartbeat, and I think he would have a part to play, even if coming off the bench.
