Ulloa-Wood

[SULLY COULDNT SHOOT]

Sure someone else has opened a thread on this but as none of the major papers seemed to have picked up the Ulloa story yet I went googling and came across this:

http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/L...ts-finishing/story-21740358-detail/story.html

Nothing new there you may think except for the comments on Wood. I wonder why, if Wood is coming available we are not in there. OK Wolves may be a bigger club but worth a shout isn't it. He's now proven at this level and has certainly grown up since he was last here and he didn't do that bad then.

Comments?

I dont think a big man down the middle is the way Sami wants to play.

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

I thought he was shit in Green Street

Well that's how his Leverkusen team played

I suspect that his Leicester wage packet, has proved to be a bigger turn off. How about Stevie May at St Johnstone. He must be well within our budget now and whilst certainly not a ready made replacement for Ulloa, he could be worth a punt.

This is true, but that was Lewondowski ?
Im sure I have heard and read several quotes from people in the know.... that Sami want 3 front men with pace, guile and movement etc
Hence O'Grady not at present anyway being a starting option, more of a tactic changer should it be required.

I could be completely wrong ofcourse

I have heard him say the front man doesn't necessarily have to be a big man to be fair. But his history suggests it will be.

We won the league in 100% of the seasons that Chris Wood played at Brighton.

You can't argue with the stats. Sign him up Sami!

 

[Seagull over NZ]

Lewandowski was Borussia Dortmund, not Leverkusen.

 

[shaunslats]

hes the best option for replacing Ulloa IMO

 

[BensGrandad]

I hope that we do not chase after Wood as he is not the answer to a team with aspirations of the Premier. Slow with very little ability

 

[shaolinpunk]

6ft3 Stefan Kießling was Leverkusen's main man up front when Sami was manager

 

[marshy68]

I personally would have tried to get Wood as part of the Ulloa deal.

This indeed, he is only really a small step above AB..... let's be bold and get someone who won't need to be carried....his about Holt, he must be looking for a starting place somewhere surely.....he can lead the line with CMS and the rest feeding off his physical work.

havent Wolves offered 2million , which possibly may rule us out

Huddersfield also in for him but the on going Clayton situation maybe stalling them .

 

[BensGrandad]

Clayton said to be going to Forest so that may soon hopefully be resolved before we get a look in.

 

[Napper]

We've got over £10 million to spend, £2m is the kind of fee we should be looking to pay for a striker, if not more!

Have we ?

Agree that is what we need to spend.

Not convinced Wood is worth 2 million myself.

 

[BensGrandad]

But not more than £500k if it was for Wood, even then not cash up front. Will probably go to Wolves as Jackett had him on loan at Millwall.

 

[fat old seagull]

He's got a rugby players build so not the fastest, but technically he is a quality player, proven goalscorer at this level and still only 22. Would be a great signing.

Did we learn nothing from the savaging Derby gave us.... slooooow is not the way to go.

I heard Middlesborough
