The Ulloa £8m

[Lifelong Supporter]

Pretty good chance of us getting a further £1.5 million. He will play 20 times unless injury intervenes and they probably have a better than even chance of staying up. I was impressed with Leicester's attitude and crowd today.

 

[Albion Dan]

Ultimately Leo and Buckley have become our equivalent of a parachute payment this season. Great business.

 

[algie]

£500k if he makes 20 appearances
£1 million if they stay up this season
£500k if they stay up in 2015/16 or are relegated this season and promoted in 2015/16.

Can i ask how you know this?

Interesting way of looking at it. Agreed.

Ultimately Leo and Buckley have become our equivalent of a parachute payment this season. Great business.

Norwich, Fulham and Cardiff are getting £23m this year in parachute payments.
The other clubs will be getting either £18m for their second year in Champ and £9m a year for years three and four.

Which is why we should not let this opportunity pass us by.

But they also have squads full of £20-40k pw plus players that will eat plenty of that up in no time!!! I only said its our equivalent this year so we really need to make it count.

Top 10 Premier league players who have surprised this season

Leonardo Ulloa (Leicester City)

At £8million, Leonardo Ulloa looked a tad expensive earlier this summer, but he could prove to be the complete opposite. Five goals in five games has given the Foxes a great start to the season and notching against the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Everton shows the Argentinean can definitely hack it in the Premier League.

 

[B.W.]

£8m was fantastic business. Not spending at least £3m on a decent replacement wasn't. Oh, and I accept if we can get someone good enough for under £3m, then great, but it seems we haven't.

 

[litmanen]

Agree. Big mistake not to buy any better strikers than Colunga and Baldock. It's gonna be a long couple of months, before January comes.

 

[durrington gull]

COG was the replacement but clearly limited - jury out on Baldock & Colunga for me

 

[Mowgli37]

Yeah let's write off our entire strike force nine games into the season

 

[Vegas Seagull]

Wot no Zaha?

 

[KJP]

Yeah let's write off our entire strike force nine games into the season

They've scored 1 league goal between them, it's definitely a cause for concern

 

[portslade seagull]

Yeah let's write off our entire strike force nine games into the season

If they haven't performed in 9-games well 10 games now it doesn't look good does it

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Leo would have scored close to 30 goals for us this season in this team I reckon.

We'd have looked good for promotion and the 60 million minimum ( + parachute payments. )

8 million doesn't look too good a deal really, and is in effect 52 million thrown away, just in year 1.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Yeah let's write off our entire strike force nine games into the season

I have L 1 at best

 

[Surf's Up]

I predict that the £8m will be staying snugly in TB's back pocket.
