Babylon Posted 23 January 2017 Share Posted 23 January 2017 "He's ruining his career at Leicester"... in the next breath "we didn't get the new contract we wanted". So what you're saying is you'd be happy doing nothing if you're getting paid more to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylanlegend Posted 23 January 2017 Share Posted 23 January 2017 Anything less than what we paid should be rejected. As his agent said, he was vital in our PL title victory. But yet his price goes down? Also got 3-4 seasons left as he's not renowned for his pace anyway. Sounds to me though like they are annoyed they didn't get a new contract, maybe we should accept alves bid for a laugh and then see them scurry back when Alves offer him £10k a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WigstonWanderer Posted 23 January 2017 Share Posted 23 January 2017 11 hours ago, Thracian said: With our current personnel - and until we've better options to call on, as with any player - Ulloa should be in the team, no question. Managers need to pick a side to get the best from the players available - not a system and then try and fit square pegs into round holes if necessary. Just dwell on our team: Simpson, Morgan, Huth and Fuchs (pose no attacking threat to speak of at all). Albrighton manages an occasional assist but offers very little goalscoring threat. King is our most natural midfield finisher but rarely threatens now and there is no real threat at all from N'Didi, Amartey, Mendy or Drinkwater. It's almost suicidal. Up front: Slimani and Ulloa are the biggest threats now but Ulloa doesn't play and Slimini isn't here. Shinji's never looked like a Premiership striker and Vardy's like a dervish whose lost his colleagues. Out wide, the once prolific Mahrez seems to be little more than a part-timer nowadays, Gray promises plenty but achieves very little while Musa looks lightweight in the blood and thunder of Premiership football. They're not necessarily bad players individually but they're not in any way resembling a team and that's entirely understandable because there's no footballing philosophy and no balance. And within this barren scenario, Ulloa guarantees 10 or 12 goals a season and doesn't get selected. I'd love to hear Ranieri's explanation if it's not to do with promises made to others or the money they're costing in wages. . Welcome back!

TJB-fox Posted 23 January 2017 Share Posted 23 January 2017 1.7 million ****ing hell thats taking the absolute biscuit When I heard Alaves were interested I was expecting 2/3/4m, not 1.7m Do you want Mahrez for 5m too? Chuck in Kasper as a freebie? Hold on Alaves let us just bend over for you some more. 1.7m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannythefox Posted 24 January 2017 Share Posted 24 January 2017 Not a chance he'll leave for less than 10M he needs to understand that we need to get a replacement and that will probably cost 15 plus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted 24 January 2017 Share Posted 24 January 2017 Is it a bit too controversial after reading the content of this thread to suggest to people that we perhaps do not have a no. 10 at all in our squad. We have players such as Mahrez and Demarai who could develop and fill the role but they both are miles away from being a number 10.. they are either wingers or part of a front three.... My idea of a number ten is a solid, strong, unselfish creator that can score from live or dead balls anywhere on the pitch and can cover the shorter hard yards at amazing pace.... I'm thinking more Rooney of old/Sigurdsson/Tevez/Toto/Azlur/Hazard than Mahrez/Gray in that position...just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 24 January 2017 Share Posted 24 January 2017 If I'm honest I think his agent has a point. Player gives his all. Player comes on and delivers consistently as a sub scoring key goals. Player never gets a start despite quality performances. Player helps side win title and those around him gets improved deals. Player isn't allowed to leave despite being 5th choice and 30 years old with one good 3 year contract left in him. I'd be a bit aggrieved too to be fair - if you want to keep him and treat him like that and keep moral and team spirit - pay him what he'll get elsewhere if he moves. If you want to be a big club you have to accept these expenses to keep the level of quality you need on the bench content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your boss promised you that he'd give you a pay rise, then didn't, you'd be aggrieved. It sounds like the entire situation has been mis-managed. This is one situation. How many more at the club? It doesn't take much to rock the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlaneyLCFC Posted 25 January 2017 Share Posted 25 January 2017 I'd like to see ulloa start for the Derby game to at least try and prove a point about being pushed down the pecking order.

Koke Posted 25 January 2017 Share Posted 25 January 2017 Ulloa made only 7 starts last season - same number as Ritchie de Laet. This season he's made 1 start. So basically in 18 months Ulloa has made 1 more start than a guy who we got rid of a year ago. Don't blame him for wanting to leave asap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koke Posted 25 January 2017 Share Posted 25 January 2017 Martin Samuel wrote a scathing article on Ulloa and his agent. This part is weird, especially considering how many journalists and pundits ridiculed and mocked Ranieri when we first appointed him "He isn’t the first. Ranieri did not get enough respect at the end of last season, when some of his players drowned him in champagne in front of the world’s media. Who do they think they are? This is the 2016 Coach of the Year. This is a man who has achieved a feat in the English game that may never be revisited in our lifetime, taking the Premier League title from the elite" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Samuel's point is that maybe the players should be more respectful to the person that gave them their biggest career highlight to date.
