Leonardo Ulloa (Brighton) - Bid accepted

[Master Fox]

We're now one of the most weathly clubs in English football. We have to get used to inflated price tags. I say pay them what they want and get him in. Manchester Utd have bid £27million for Luke Shaw, there's absolutely no way he's worth that. But its a player who will improve our team. I think we should be looking to spend around £40 million on players this summer. Its difficult to adjust to such great sums after the years of struggle. But that's our future now. If top wants it he needs to buy some bloody good and expensive players.

Don't mind this signing as personally do not think Pearson rates Wood (I like him but think Pearson likes to see his strikers more 'busy') - so wouldn't be surprised to see Ulloa come in, Wood leave and we bring in another maybe more expensive striker.

 

However all the signs seem that Pearson doesn't want to spend any money over the odds - 4 frees (including the Man Utd youngster) and bidding for Ulloa and Campbell 

[Brighton]

I think he would be a good signing. From what I have seen he has good positional sense, has a good touch and can finish. Also if the rumours are true that we've made two or three offers, he hasn't chucked his toys out the pram wanting a move similar to palaces bid last year, so maybe he has a good character which Pearson values as well. I'd be happy for this to happen.

 

Hi.

 

The reason he hasn't thrown his toys out is because he has made it perfectly clear that he loves the club and city and his family who don't speak English love the area as well and Ulloa has siad many times that he doesn't want to leave but will, only if the club don't want him anymore. Ulloa can speak broken English now and one of the reasons why he came to us was because of Poyet and the fact we had 6 other spainsh players so that was a massive pull factor as well.

 

It's not all about money for him, he's the type to think about his family first and formost. The club can agree a fee with you but he can always say no as players have in the past from different clubs.

 

All the best in the premiership.

Hi thanks for the info.

In all honesty I hope he stays with you and gives you a good chance of promotion. I just don't wamt us to spend £7m+ on him. He may well be worth that sort of money but it does represent a pretty big risk imo.

Good luck next season

So you know him personally? None you what you've posted is anything but your own emotional personal viewpoint, and a really naive view of modern football. Every player is about the money whether you believe it or not.

Isn't this what we all do on here post opinions loosely based onfacts?  I'm sure there is some truth to what he said but I agree with you, if you pay someone an extra £10-£20k p/w it buys you a lot of Spanish speakers to hang out at your house and make the family comfortable....

Don't jump to the conclusion that Wood is on the outer.  David Nugent hasn't renewed, so it could be his replacement?

Thanks for your post. To be honest though, any player who at 27, wasn't desperate to prove himself in the Premiership probably wouldn't be the type of player we need.

 

If he's happy in the Championship then that's probably where he's going to stay for the rest of his career now. Ditto Brighton.

[Dickov22]

I don't care how much money we spend on him. He looked class last season, and Nigel knows a player when he sees one.

[mozartfox]

I thought if a player did not ask for a move, the financial rewards were better - retention of loyalty bonus?  Anyhow, this Brighton chap is obviously in the know or his Agent trying to force us to part with more Baht.

This is true, of course all they do nowadays is announce their desire to move in every domain other than a written transfer request.

[Danizen]

That annoys me no end. How hard would it be to put a clause in th e contract that states, 'any quotes attributed to the player or the player's nominated agent that indicate either the player's desire to move or the player's discontent will result in forfeit of the remaining loyalty bonus.'

It would be harder to force a move but still retain the loyalty bonus and it would reward actual loyalty.

Could be misquoted or the papers make it up though

I know it wouldn't be perfect but it would at least stop players and agents mouthing off to the papers every day about wanting to leave (giving official on the record quotes) while still refusing to hand in a transfer request. For me, if you tell the media you want to leave, that's basically a transfer request there and then.

Good facts and good post but im not really sure what your point is.

 

We need a target man type striker of which only 2 of the above are... Ings and Ulloa. How much would we pay for Ings? It would be more than £10m, The same with both Austin and McCormack as well.

 

Also, You have missed the key fact abouts games played as if Ulloa has missed 10+ games last season then its not really a fair comparison on all of the points eg % of clubs goals etc.

 

I would say these facts back up why he wouldnt be the worst option and it would be good to see a comparison of Nuge and Vardy.

[Finnegan]

Charlie Austin isn't a target man? But Ings, who's played off Vokes all year, is?

[Burmesefox]

So you know him personally? None you what you've posted is anything but your own emotional personal viewpoint, and a really naive view of modern football. Every player is about the money whether you believe it or not.

Wow, you have a very cynical view of life. That Brighton fan came on here to give his point of view which sounds pretty valid to me. It isn't always all about money.

Danny Ings isn't a target man:

Or if he is he is shit at it.

[VLC86]

Good point, Austin is actually taller than Ings... never knew that

[GingerrrFox]

Yes because height dictates a player's technical attributes...

[sylofox]

So right Kasper springs to mind.

 

Just some see oppositions support on here and just have to abuse them.

It's because standard player contracts are something that has been agreed with the players union - the PFA. You can't just invent clauses that haven't been agreed and which they'd then argue on the player's behalf when you fail to actually enforce it.
