Not surprised. He's not scored since that brace against Man U has he? Hopefully he'll still make the magic 20 appearances.

He's a good championship striker and started well at Leicester this season but he's not good enough for the Prem IMO. Too slow. Similar to Murray, good 2nd tier striker but not quite good enough at top level.

Don't think anyone said that we should've sold for 3m, especially as we paid 2m. Credit to whoever did the deal though; 8.5m plus add ons was very good.

There were many,happy to let go before any bidding took place at the embryonic stage of speculative rumour happy to let go for that figure,the fact that you cannot remember or suggest that anybody did leads me to assume perhaps that you might have been one?

I thought at the time it was awful business for the Albion and noithing has changed my mind on that. His sale set the tone for this terrible season and as for the revenues it bought in, offset that against season ticket holders who will walk
Surely it can only be awful business if the club are in the position to turn down £8-£10 million.
Unfortunately they are not.
You must agree that is fantastic money for Leo, which as yet hasn't been spent in a way that will maintain or even generate further income.
Simply put:-
Leicester made us an offer we couldn't refuse.
Not to mention all the possible problems generated by turning down a players chance to play top flight football.

That said, Reading are by no means doing well. I think they won last weekend, but generally, they've been bang out of form. Murray has hardly proved the solution to all their (parachute-payment-assisted) problems.

As this PL season heads towards its climax, Ulloa has scored just 7 PL goals. In addition, Leicester are likely heading for relegation and so Ulloa's not kept them up with the vital goals he was bought for.
For a fee of £8m, I think he's flopped.

There was supposed to be another £2M linked to PL survival and appearances but unless you were a fly on the wall during the negotiations its impossible to say when the appearance bonuses kick in. Palace thought they would be getting £5M in bonuses from Man United for Winifred but then actually ended up £4M in profit when they bought him back at a discount.
