Ulloa deal hinges on passport

The Argus revealed yesterday Almeria marksman Ulloa was a target for the Seagulls in August and is again now that the January transfer window has opened.

The powerful 26-year-old has been in Spain long enough to qualify for dual nationality but unless the passport issue is resolved Albion cannot, under UK immigration legislation, get a work permit for Ulloa to play for them.

Poyet told The Argus: “It’s the main part, because we cannot do anything until he becomes European. It doesn’t matter how much you move or do or how much you want him if he doesn’t qualify to play in England.

“We don’t know how long it will take. The same thing happened in August. We are just praying that he can get the passport tomorrow and then we can move quickly and maybe have a chance to get him. If not we will have to move for somebody else and the danger is you can lose those options, so it’s a bit tricky but I hope we are going to get one (striker). We need to, we have to.

“I think we have got or three great options. It could be a week, or ten days or the 30th of January. I would like it to be Saturday (Newcastle in the FA Cup) but sometimes you don’t know. But it’s close, I think very close.”

Albion, meanwhile, have received no offers so far for star players like Craig Mackail-Smith, who scored along with Dean Hammond and Wayne Bridge in yesterday’s 3-0 win at Ipswich.

Poyet said: “People are asking me continually when somebody is going to leave. I am surprised because nobody has made an offer or approach.”

lol Not even in the country yet and fans on here are slagging him off

My girlfriend, a Spaniard i'll have you know (unbiblically), says you can basically buy a property for 160k euros in Spain and they'll reward you with citizenship if you want it. Surely we could lend him that amount and make him go more Spanish for a brief while.

Sounds like an 'all eggs in one basket' type scenario, which risks leaving us with nothing.

You are talking crap.

Elche

Almería
Villarreal
Ponferradina
Las Palmas

Sabadell
Recreativo Huelva
Córdoba

Sporting Gijón
Real Murcia
Real Madrid II
Xerez
Guadalajara
Mirandés
Huesca
Racing Santander
Hércules

Out of those teams, how many have been in La Liga in the last 20 years or ever in that case? I see two B teams, ans about 4/5 others I recognise (I don't do FM).
If you compare the strengths, history, attendances, achievements, finance of La liga B and the Championship there is no comparison.

My argument is simple. Stop buying mediocre players that will probably make little difference to the overall team who would probably be dumped if we ever got promoted anyway, and save the pennies to buy players who would make an impact now and could progress in any future PL campaign.

If you're European, I believe. He isn't.

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

If it was the same problem in August, then why didn't we do the deal then so he'd have the passport ready for January 1st, instead of leaving it until now and risking the same thing happening again?

Good grief, our club can be embarrassing at times.

Stop writing off a player you haven't even seen play, his goalscoring record over the last few years is decent. Also a cheaper alternative to over priced British players over here.

Ah i see.
Well, he might be later this week anyhow.

Why do you think we have clearly made a move before the start of the transfer window ? Though having said that this should of been the first thing checked out when our offer was accepted and maybe have a couple of back ups. If you sign foreign players, get the passport issues sorted first, its common sense !!

On one of your lunchbreak moan-offs? Make sure you finish your jacket spud first, or the butter flying from your mouth in every vitriolic bite might over-grease your keyboard. That could be embarrassing also when you have spotty fingertips and shake hands with another member of the grumble club and it bursts and splats acne juice on both your cuffs.

Well, you are the expert.

Give the poor guy a break, WW clearly has the interests of the club and supporters at heart.
It wouldn't be too much to ask that the club has partially filled in applications for all non EU players around the cosmos just in case.
We should have one for Messi ready at all times.

 

[tomfitz12]

Some people need to understand that the Spanish Liga B, is not like our Championship. It is full of la Liga's B teams

it all makes sense now

 

[StonehamPark]

Ulloa looks decent enough for me.
Scored against Real Madrid in 2011. Tall striker with FLAIR.

Sign Him Up!

If we signed Messi WW would probably moan he isn't the holdup man we need. He is the most tedious parody of himself, only made worse by the fact he clearly is a genuine Albion fan and is obviously a bright bloke, unlike some of the other misers on here. If he was a JCL simpleton it wouldn't matter so much that he's such a depressive twat. Unfortunately we're stuck with him. I for one can't wait until we go on a winning run so he pipes down and crawls the f*** back under his rock.
