the fox Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 Do you call this professionalism? Now we are keeping players because they are a good locker room presence? Mikey mouse level management! At least sell him and slimani and get a cheaper striker from another league, but don't give him an improved contract than let a better player than him walk!

Molson Canadian Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 If this means he's okay with being 5th choice, then i'm fine with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 This has me genuinely worried... Surely the only reasons for this would be - Slimani/Vardy/Okazaki is off - Iheanacho's injury is far worse than originally thought and we need the backup - and any strikers we have approached have turned us down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevosevic Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 It's a year extension but a very strange one. He's barely going to get a kick....i hope. He's had some great moments for us but he's finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCCFox96 Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 I'm sorry I like Ulloa, I genuinely do, but that is an absolute joke of a decision. The guy openly came out against the club in a difficulty period in January and contributed little in the run in under Shakespeare. On top of that, in my opinion, he's the weakest of the 5 strikers (Vardy, Iheanacho, Slimani and Okazaki). Should've been moved on. If we sell Slimani and keep Ulloa on fresh terms then it won't sit well with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfox Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 WTF is this shit. Ulloa has been great but he's had his time, this summer would of been the perfect time to move him on so he could start a new chapter elsewhere. If we end up selling Slimani because of this, it will be one of the most ridiculous decisions ever made by this football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koke Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 Ulloa wouldn't get into any PL side. Not even Brighton. Glenn Murray > Leo Ulloa. He's a Championship standard player now. We're better off having an academy striker as 5th choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swarles Barkley Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 Only at leicester would a player where a good 95% fans dont want a player to be given an extended contract, would the player get an extended contract.

The whole world smiles Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 It matters not wether you think it was the right thing to give him a contract or not he has signed one and is a Leicester player for the foreseeable future. With that in mind I think it's time to stop slagging him and taking the Micky out of him and get behind him and concentrate on the positives. His goals to minutes ratio is excellent at this level. By the sound of that interview he is happy to be a squad player. He seems a nice bloke and the players seem to love him. He has scored some massive goals for us. Hes a Bana fidie premier league winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 24 August 2017 Share Posted 24 August 2017 For the nay-sayers: Leonardo Ulloa: Five Key Goals The former Brighton and Hove Albion man has an uncanny knack of scoring important goals and has played his role in some of the most important moments in Leicester City’s recent history. The 31-year-old joined in the summer of 2014 and immediately endeared himself to the Blue Army with his work-rate, his outstanding qualities in the air and his remarkable calmness under pressure. With that in mind, we’ve picked out five key Ulloa goals from the past three seasons that underline just how important the striker’s contribution has been for his team. 5. The One With 10 Men Ulloa kick-starts a comeback in Staffordshire. When Jamie Vardy was sent off in the 28th minute and Stoke City took a 2-0 lead at the Britannia Stadium, things looked bleak for the Foxes back in December 2016. Indeed six Foxes players had been booked in addition to the red card by the time Ulloa was introduced for Islam Slimani in the 72nd minute as City looked for inspiration. It took the Argentine just two minutes to make an impact though as he powered home a Demarai Gray cross to make it 2-1 before Daniel Amartey drew the Foxes level at the death – a hugely significant point for the team. 4. The Debut Goal Ulloa opens his Foxes account against the Toffees. Hopes were high for Leicester City at the start of their return to the Premier League in 2014/15 after a decade long absence. Everton were the opponents at King Power Stadium with new boy Ulloa joining David Nugent in attack. It didn’t quite go to plan for City as Aiden McGeady gave the Toffees an early lead, but Ulloa was on hand two minutes later to poke home from close range two minutes later. Everton again retook the lead before a late Chris Wood equaliser, but Ulloa’s debut strike and City’s first Premier League goal for a decade was of huge importance. 3. The Famous Win City scored five against Man Utd, with Ulloa netting twice. Already on the scoresheet to pull one back in the first half, it was perhaps Leo’s second goal – a penalty to round off the scoring – that proved to be most important during the historic 5-3 victory over Manchester United in September 2014. Back in the Premier League after a decade, what better way to mark a clash against the Red Devils than by recovering from two goals down to beat the most successful team in English football. It is the first time Man Utd have ever surrendered a two-goal lead in the Premier League. That thrilling game will be forever remembered by the Blue Army and the Argentine’s double was pivotal in it. 2. The Pressure Penalty The Argentine's spot kick secured a vital point against the Hammers. City’s 2-2 draw with West Ham at King Power Stadium in April 2016 was an altogether bad tempered affair. The Foxes were battling for the league title with Tottenham Hotspur hot on their heels while West Ham were keen to avenge an early season loss and cement European football. City looked comfortable when Vardy had given them the lead, but his 56th minute red card opened the door. They held out until two goals in two minutes from Andy Carroll and Aaron Cresswell put West Ham ahead. Then deep into stoppage time Jeffrey Schlupp won City a penalty. For many it felt like City’s title hopes rested on this moment, but Ulloa kept his composure beautifully to rattle the ball home and give City a point that felt just like three. 1. The Earthquake Goal City's No.23 bags a late winner at King Power Stadium. Teams around the league were beginning to approach the Foxes differently as they refused to budge at the top of the table. Gone were the days of sides leaving space in behind for the likes of Vardy to charge into – Claudio Ranieri’s men had to find different ways to win. When relegation-threatened Norwich came to King Power Stadium in February 2016, they frustrated the Foxes. It looked like being one of those afternoons, but with just one minute to play, Marc Albrighton sent the ball to the far post where Ulloa was on hand to bundle it home – sparking a celebration that saw the entire stadium tremble. So much so that the University of Leicester registered it as an earthquake measuring 0.3 on the Richter scale. A goal not to be forgotten and yet another key moment in Leicester City history written by Leonardo Ulloa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this changes what?, he had a poor attitude and refused to play, and it's clear he's past it, going over past achievements, which he contributed as a squad player, and wasn't deemed good enough to command a starting place before he lost his ability to run, head the ball, and generally offer nothing, reward of a new contract is laughable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
