80footgiraffe Posted 22 July 2014 Posted 22 July 2014 Last minute disagreement holding up the confirmation. Nigel has asked him to shave off his ugly tuft of facial hair. I would also add this to his contract
Albionfan Posted 22 July 2014 Posted 22 July 2014 Brighton fan here! Sad to see our talisman leave the south coast he has been great for us. Leo was very much a Poyet signing and one which he pushed for a long time to get, just to set the record straight he was not bought for £2.5/£3 mill he was bought from Almeria for £3.5/£4mill and before he left to join us was tipped to be joining a top La Liga side after being crowned top scorer in Segunda. The view shared by many supporters last season was that he would have finished top scorer in the championship had he not have been out for nearly 3-4 months injured. For what its worth he is better played with another forward or wingers like Mahrez who can get the ball in the box as he is absolutely unbelievable in the air (at both ends of the pitch) he links play very well and will fight for the team tirelessly. The only negatives are he lacks pace and has the traditional Argie dive in him. On many occasions last season he was bossed by strong centre backs but this was mainly due to the fact we only ever played one up top. On the other side of the coin if you get him on song and confident he is virtually unplayable. Is he worth £8mill only time will tell. Either way it's a great deal for both parties, we may now have a few quid to spend to get us out the championship and hopefully join you there the season after next. Good luck to Leo and all the best in the premier league next season. Deeney and Ulloa would be frightening combo!

Good luck to Leo and all the best in the premier league next season. Deeney and Ulloa would be frightening combo! Thanks for this. It sounds like Vardy with his blistering pace and movement would be ideal alongside Leo. We also have Nugent who is a very clever striker who likes to drop deep and provides many assists. We've recently signed Marc Albrighton from Villa whose best attribute is his crossing, i'm sure that's been a big influence on Nigel's recruitment of a player who is exceptional in the air, we have lacked that for years.

Mahrez put in some brilliant balls for Algeria in their friendly before the world cup playing from the left. Him and Albrighton will Ulloa and Vardy will be interesting, I've always thought Vardy was excellent in the air for his height also.

WhispyWizard Posted 22 July 2014 Posted 22 July 2014 Last minute disagreement holding up the confirmation. Nigel has asked him to shave off his ugly tuft of facial hair. This won't happen as Hamer still has his beard. Our backroom staff need to improve its hair & beard policies on transfers.
Ric Flair Posted 22 July 2014 Posted 22 July 2014 Mahrez put in some brilliant balls for Algeria in their friendly before the world cup playing from the left. Him and Albrighton will Ulloa and Vardy will be interesting, I've always thought Vardy was excellent in the air for his height also. Yeah you're right, Knockaert actually has a good final delivery at times but Vardy and Nugent are often in the wrong positions to take advantage of that. We're improving our options at a different style of football which is hugely important.
LCCFox96 Posted 22 July 2014 Posted 22 July 2014 Let's hope he can beat Chris Wood's top headed goal scoring record of 2 from last year then! I hope he is the target man we have been crying out for. Welcome to Leicester Leo Ulloa. With other names like Campbell, Delort, Deeney and Slimani all flying around it seems we may add another striker before the season starts too so our strike force should most certainly be suitably strengthened.

Will our defence be as well though?

They dont have much money and they know it. Sensible article. Also we know this is not a £10M fee.
st albans fox Posted 22 July 2014 Posted 22 July 2014 Just a thought - why has poyet not tried to take him to s'land ?

But if they did, they wouldn't spend like a drunken sailor..? its easy to take the "moral" high ground when you ain't got a pot to dribble in.

I know which approach I'd be more "fond" of!

TJB-fox Posted 22 July 2014 Posted 22 July 2014 Just a thought - why has poyet not tried to take him to s'land ? already got wickham, altidore, fletcher who are all 'target men' and probably in the market for a different kind of striker, ie Borini (would be my guess)
Dan Posted 22 July 2014 Posted 22 July 2014 Well I'd definitely rather spend money to get Ulloa in than sign Jutkiewicz & Sordell. Their inferiority complex is unreal. I can see the thinking behind that article but they seem to have got it into their heads that we'll do a Portsmouth and seem to have already accepted relegation.

Tommy G Posted 22 July 2014 Posted 22 July 2014 Awful that its on their site rather than ours first. But not surprise. Noddys working at LCFC in the IT dept.

st albans fox Posted 22 July 2014 Posted 22 July 2014 The longer this drags on the more I think he (and others?) will be paraded in front of the Thai press before ours ????
