bovril Posted 30 January 2017 Posted 30 January 2017 I appreciate the goals he's scored for us (especially the balls of steel moment against WHU) but the guy is a complete twat for writing that. More than that, a spoiled twat. "With all due respect to LCFC fans..... I'm going to write something negative about the club and manager at the worst possible time". Fvck off. He's under contract and he knows what playing for a Premier League club entails.

German football legend, Bayern legend. Treated like a plague by Mourinho, sent to train with the reserve and told to search another club. Never say a word about the manager or the club and kept up training. For months. Still isn't a starter or even getting on the team sheet but still keep on training hard. That's the difference between a true pro and a second class footballer. Leicester made him. I can understand he's frustrated but that was uncalled for. Maybe he is not moaning because he is happy to sit out and collect £150k a week and retired, Ulloa is 30 years old and still have a good few years ahead of him and wants to play. If Schweinsteiger really wants to play football he can go to most teams in the premiership or anywhere in Europe, he was once a legend and people now forgets he still exists as a footballer

fatboytim Posted 30 January 2017 Posted 30 January 2017 Since he's been with us I've always liked Ulloa and must admit there have been times I've been puzzled as to why he's not been played when we have been so bad this season, but to me it just doesn't make sense; I don't like the fact that I don't get to play much football and so I'm going to protest by refusing to play football.

It's an ultimatum. He put himself past the point of no return with the club. It's ugly but also the easiest way to force the issue instead of being the taken for granted last choice striker.
DB11 Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 I like Ulloa but in current circumstances I'd rather he be on our books not playing than scoring goals for Sunderland

AyewJoking Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 surprised we didnt let him join sunderland, seems the kind of thing leicester city would do. i can see where leo is coming from, we dont think he is good enough for us but we dont want him to strengthen a team who could then finish above us??
okie fox Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 The obvious solution is a swap: Ulloa for Ramires. They both want away.
m4DD0gg Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 Can you imagine the vibe in the dressing room right now. Band of brothers my arse when one of them is on the back page of every newspaper today saying he is on strike and refuses to play for CR ever again. What ever the motivation it will seriously hinder our battle against relegation.
Sly Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 If Sunderland want him for £6,000,000, let him go. Are we seriously worried that Ulloa might keep Sunderland in the Premier League at our expense? Yes i'll always be grateful for the goals he's scored but he's hardly a prolific marksman. He's slows down attacks, has a first touch like a baby rhino and has hardly been clinical when he's gone one on one against a goalkeeper. He proved to be a useful substitute last season, more so to sure up our defensive structure.
nnfox Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 Surely it is clear to see that his agent has his ear and Leo has been pursuaded that taking to Twitter in that way was a good idea? He wants to leave but his agent is struggling to find him a club. We are into the last day of the window. Desperate times call for desperate measures. Yes, he has been an idiot on Twitter yesterday, but I will judge him by two years of graft and contribution. Good luck to him wherever he goes.
Guest Col city fan Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 Am I just about the only one who can see where Leo is coming from on this? He just wants to play football and he's good enough to still play football. If what has been said is true, Ranieri has made him certain promises which haven't been kept and Ulloa simply wants to leave the club. He should be allowed to leave. Ranieri is not starting him very much, the player wants to go and we are getting decent bids in for him, it would seem. Why on earth keep an unhappy player at the club, to then not play him? I don't get how this club has been run for months now. We have Leo using bloody twitter to air his views, Vardy and his bloody Mrs prancing about like a tit and at the same time, poor results on the pitch,

Sly Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 Ulloa will no doubt got stung with some sort of fine by the club this morning. I can see both sides of this argument. Surely we've all been tied into a contract that we can't wait to end?! I once paid to join a mobile network that had little to no coverage. I paid to get out of that contract. Contractually, fans never see the finer detail of contracts. The loyalty bonus, retention payments, signing on fees, staggered payments etcs. I'd suggest if he wants to go, let it happen.

I hear ya mate, but can't really agree this time. I think the club has been run quite 'strangely' since the amazing success of last season. Almost with a complacency that nothing much needed changing. I'm also a big fan of Steve Walsh..losing him was a big shame for the club, and I've never been enamoured by Rudkin. The Vardy stuff....I wouldn't give two hoots about IF he was performing on the pitch..and his recent record is appalling. The club needs going through with a stiff brush IMO. The big heads need managing properly, the deadwood needs replacing and the scouting network needs an overhaul. Ulloa is apparently one of the most pleasant professionals you could hope to meet. If he feels so frustrated as to post on twitter, that's worrying. imo.
sk3since03 Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 If he's been promised a move with his valuation met then been told he's going nowhere then he's every right to be pissed off . At least he wants to play football most players are happy to sit and collect their earnings! Leo is the last player i'd expect to publicy kick off though
FireFox Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 Don't know if this was posted yet, but this is Albrighton's brother-in-law.

Having seen how awful we are.... yeah I am. People lambasted Schlupp and said he wouldn't help Palace. He goes there and suddenly their fans are positive as they think he's been brilliant so far and much better than what they had. I'd rather make these decisions early in a summer window.

This explains your never-ending unding love for him, you must know him or stalk his family haha. I really doubt he actually tweeted that, it's got to be his agent. I also imagine his agent is basically telling him how to think and what to say.
m4DD0gg Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 Ulloa does not seem the type to throw the toys out the pram and this is the first instance in his career that i have known him do this. Feel sorry for the bloke and although publically chastising the management team will win him no fans it highlights how messed up things are at LCFC. The fact he cant get on the bench or even the first 11 over players who are appalling at the moment - vardy, musa etc there is no wonder he is fed up, especially when he feels promises were made. Its quite clear that CR has somewhat lost the dressing room and is a million miles away from knowing what his strongest team is. Most of the time on the touch line him and Shakey look bewildered and lost. You could clearly see Shakey shrugging his shoulders on Friday night. What sort of example is that to set to an already dis-harmonised low on confidence team.
grumpy old git Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 Always liked Leo a lot a good honest player will always be remembered for his goals which helped us to our dream of winning the PL but I do understand LCFC stance not selling him to relegation opposition. Most people on here have respect for him using words like "legend or hero" but how would you honestly feel if he scored the winning goal on the final day which kept his new side up and got us relegated? Maybe it’s not very likely but it could happen! That’s why I understand LCFC attitude on not selling him to just any team.

If scoring vital goals in a top flight championship winning team, when that team had never won the league title in it's entire 132 year history doesn't get entry to the hall of fame, wtf does? A bit more required than finding your self playing in the best year we have ever had! You must stand out from the crowd to be considered a legend
stingray Posted 31 January 2017 Posted 31 January 2017 I have sympathy for him. He's been incredibly loyal and wants to move on, fair enough, we have enough strikers as it is. This is out of character and cd even be a dodgy twitter account according to reports on 5Live last night
