Ulloa wants out?

[Betfair Bozo]

"Ulloa has told friends."

Yeah, course he has.

 

[Luke93]

It's in the newspaper, it must be true!

Regardless to the validity of this story, if ANY player wants to leave, you should let them. There's no point keeping a player who isn't fully committed, especially when you can get millions for him.

 

[Eddiespearritt]

Could be a very much better player if he stopped checking for the defender behind him and making a claim for being clattered every time the ball comes to him in the air. He is good in the air from free-kicks and crosses but pretty hopeless when the ball is played up to him. Murray was a genius in the air as a target man compared to Ulloa. £7 million is a pretty good return for Ulloa - having said that I'd prefer him to stay and develop his quality some more - not sure he would be the big cheese in the Premier League, but sometimes players surprise you. (Also not expecting Ashley Barnes to positively surprise in the Prem - his close control will still be non-existent).

 

[Rugrat]

Did anyone think he would want to stay?

Once the bids from Leicester (and others?) came in then he was always going to go. I'd imagine anyone signing for a Prem club from the C'ship will at least treble their wages plus have the opportunity to make a name for themselves.

It's life, can't imagine any Championship player spurning the opportunity to play Premier League football for the lottery of promotion

 

[sparkie]

We'll be in for a very grim season if he goes, I suspect.

 

[Lifelong Supporter]

Yes of course we should let him go but ONLY when we have a reasonable replacement or replacements actually signed up and with us.

 

[wolfie]

Sell him to Palace - and get Glenn Murray back in exchange.

 

[Napper]

Dont believe the story.

Dont want him to go but If we got 7/8 million and invested all on the team then we should be able to get quality in.

Spent wisely alongside our "generous" budget then no reason why couldnt go for top 2.

Easier said than done.

 

[wellquickwoody]

And the other club rumoured to be interested in Leo is.......wait for it........Scumhampton.

We ll they can fxxk right off!

 

[The Large One]

I wonder why - of all people Leo would tell his closest and most important professional necessities to - it would be a third-rate guessinghack...?

 

[Machiavelli]

No direct quotes, no sources mentioned. Nothing.

Ulloa may well want to leave, but the story is made up.

edit: the journalist that this is attributed to isn't in the country.

It might have been made up with the assistance of Ulloa's agent, or a feeder for his agent; it seems entirely plausible to me.

 

[bhawoddy]

Did anyone think he would want to stay?

there were plenty of people on here who didn't even give a thought to the fact the he may actually want away.

Comical really....

 

[Simster]

We've seen the best of him. If he wants to go, I hope we let him go (for £7m+).

I fancy our backroom staff to find another tidy finisher playing outside England for a relative bargain.

 

[The Large One]

It might have been made up with the assistance of Ulloa's agent, or a feeder for his agent; it seems entirely plausible to me.

So why not quote the agent?

 

[Machiavelli]

The Mirror wrote the same rumour 2 weeks ago.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-transfer-target-leo-ulloa-3707374

Good call, but it wasn't just The Mirror -- both articles were written by Martin Lipton.

 

[willyfantastic]

Switching your entire coaching team every season cannot be good for player retention.

that happens at 80% of all clubs anyway so dont really think it has that big an impact

 

[TomandJerry]

Probably a old of tosh

 

[Mackenzie]

Really ? Why make up a story ?

1 To fill a paper on a quiet news day.
2 To try and get a name for yourself.

Regardless of what people think of the Mirror, I am sure their chief sports writer wasn't under any pressure to come up with a Championship related story today.

Why do any of us do anything?

....I suspect its to fill column inches and generate advertising revenue through clicks on the web page.

Its a story which could have a lot of truth about it. We're aware of Leicester's approaches and the almost fanatical drive of ballers to make the step up to the BIG league (plus its financial rewards) so it wouldn't take a big leap to be able to write this. However, no quotes from anyone must be a clue to its validity.

Forget it.

 

[Machiavelli]

So why not quote the agent?

This is the way agents work. Most of the time, most of them don't even need or want to be quoted.
And while I've got you, can you turn the Roar up please.

 

[Easy 10]

The article is clearly a complete fabrication based on assumption.

The assumption is probably not far from the truth, but the notion that Ulloa has "revealed" this to someone, who has then passed it on to whatever hack cobbled that bobbins together is laughable.
