foxfanazer Posted 11 December 2016 Posted 11 December 2016 Love the guy and will be sad to see him go but probably the right thing for all parties. Scored some massive goals for us in the past and will only be looked back on with fond memories
CosbehFox Posted 11 December 2016 Posted 11 December 2016 City won't sell him until the final week of January with the AFCON coming up. Fully suspect we will try to offload towards China rather than a relegation rival. Love the bloke, been treated pretty badly in the past five months.
turtmcfly Posted 11 December 2016 Posted 11 December 2016 The first goal against ManU in the 5-3 game. What a little melter it was...

SecretPro Posted 17 December 2016 Posted 17 December 2016 19 minutes ago, Devonfox1884 said: Leo Stays. Because he did what strikers are supposed to do and scored a goal? Pretty sure if Slim had still been on the pitch when Gray started whipping balls in we would have been alright too. Ulloa shouldn't get many games here and so he'd be better off moving on. Like the guy but it's the right thing to do.

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 17 December 2016 Posted 17 December 2016 I still hesitate at us selling Ulloa, I've always liked him. I suppose it's a likely case of him being sold, I think he will score goals though if he goes somewhere and gets regular game time. Capable of 10-15 goals a season if played regularly in my opinion.
frany104 Posted 17 December 2016 Posted 17 December 2016 One of our most under rated players. Well pleased for Leo!

Steve Earle Posted 17 December 2016 Posted 17 December 2016 I hope we persuade him to stay, at least until the summer. He'll get plenty of pitch time during AFCON & FAC. He's better in the air than Slim, and better at hold up play. Let Schlupp go. Leaves us with four strikers & four wide players - or three of each during AFCON - they'll all get plenty of games. A new number 10, the still necessary upgrade on Okazaki, would still be good in January...
Lambert09 Posted 18 December 2016 Posted 18 December 2016 Think it's more a case of him wanting to go then us wanting rid. Surely nobody can expect him to be happy with the odd cameo when we're desperate?
red5 Posted 18 December 2016 Posted 18 December 2016 The speed he went down the tunnel yesterday, I'd say he's gone.

Surely nobody can expect him to be happy with the odd cameo when we're desperate? Yeah I think this is it. Can't blame him really, he wants regular game time elsewhere which seems highly unlikely at Leicester now. I'd like us to keep him, as he has moments like yesterday which are vital to us. The other side to it though, he could be playing more games at another PL club, where he'd score fairly regularly in my opinion.
ithuriel Posted 19 December 2016 Posted 19 December 2016 Like Leo but he is not going to stay at a club where he is no longer considered first team material, he will want to be leading the line again either in the Prem or Championship.
Ric Flair Posted 19 December 2016 Posted 19 December 2016 He will go and sadly it's fair enough, it's very difficult to keep 5+ strikers happy in this modern game. We are actually one of the rare teams who play 2 through the middle but it's still hard to give the other 3 enough game time. It's not just this season either, last season he was very much backup to Vardy and Shinji. He's at an age where he wastes anymore time as a bit part player and he could lose momentum as a player. He's been a very decent signing for us and an important goalscorer at crucial stages. What we must do though is protect ourselves and if he is to leave then he goes to a non-relegation rival, a top Championship club or abroad. I'd rather we loaned him out to one of the above and then worry about any price drop in the summer than flog him for £10 million to Swansea or Sunderland and see him score half a dozen crucial goals and put us right in the garry.
