Does anyone have any WD40 for steveie Howard's joints? Cafu, Selke, Hogan would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Countryfox Posted 18 January 2017 Share Posted 18 January 2017 His agents are in town and will likely hand in a transfer request if City don't accept the offer on the table from another club ... but City will probably not let him go till the summer.

Clever Fox Posted 18 January 2017 Share Posted 18 January 2017 He has been good for us and done the business when needed. But I think it's time to move him on he's slowing down and that's not what we need. The money could go a long way for a new hungry player on the way up. someone like Hogan might be an option.

norwichfox Posted 18 January 2017 Share Posted 18 January 2017 I find it sad that we're treating Leo in this way, especially after Ranieri has stated that he wouldn't stop anyone leaving that wanted to. Leo's been good for us, has earned his corn and like a true professional wants to play football from a starting line up on a regular basis. I had half expected him to finish up back with Brighton. Go get your transfer Leo many of us appreciate what you've done for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not exactly Mike Ashley sweatshop in Bangladesh or wherever material is it. He has been a great servant to the club and fair enough he wants first team football. But I think we have the right as he is under contract to us, to have time to find a replacement for him before allowing him to leave. This could easily have been kept in-house. His agent is doing his job and causing a scene to get people interested that's all. Not like we will be installing chains on the bench at the KP to bind him to.

A valid point, but I'd rather we don't keep players against their will and have under-performers by "I want to leave" attitude....see Schlupp's performances, plus it highlights Ranieri as a liar.

Don't think it highlights him as a liar. Say Vardy Mahrez or Kasper put in a transfer request with 2 weeks or less before the window shut. We can't just say OK see ya. We need a replacement in. And we have the right to try and recoup as much a fee as possible IMO. He has said he wants to leave and I genuinely believe that Ranieri will let him go but it has to be right for the club. He's not being a liar he's being a good manager and doing what is right for the club over what is right for an individual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're being very naive, He is very much a fans favourite but there is no sentiment in Football, We all know it's a results business and he hasn't offered enough this season when given his chance. CR is trying to take us to the next level, in that we'll have a younger profile better players and a consistent top 10 Side. Young players can sit on the Bench and deliver when called upon. It's much harder when players get older. Ulloa is good enough to do a job for someone else which also keeps him playing. Allowing him that opportunity is not being disloyal to him. He leaves with fond memories and a League title while we have an opportunity to recoup our outlay on him and bring in a Younger player. I'm sure he'll get his wish before the window closes.

Clever Fox Posted 18 January 2017 Share Posted 18 January 2017 apologies I quoted you as the wrong thread. Anyway it's nice to know we.re on the same wavelength. He ahs been good for us but it makes good sense to get our 8 Million back while we can. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulloa needs to be motivated to be capable of performing at this level, he's not a player who has enough ability to coast through games. I see little point in keeping him for another 6 months, as long as he isn't sold to a relegation rival. If we need another option up front then I would try and loan someone rather than panic buy.

Agreed. He might 'want out' but I wouldn't question his motivation if he makes appearances in the mean time. Let him go, we owe it to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
