What a waste of £8m!

    Just a "what could've been" post for if we'd signed Ulloa from Brighton! Looks an absolute handful who thrives on bullying defenders from decent balls into the box. He'd have struggled to get a sniff of a chance with us and been pilloried like Jozy if he'd signed! Looks a real player at Leicester? Hope they "do a Reading/Blackpool", get found out by Christmas and pass us on our way to mid table!

    He looks very decent, but I can't help but feel Gus would have moved if he rated him that highly.

    We were linked, as we were with every player Brighton have ever had since 1902, but we never moved.

    Good on Leicester mind, I'm glad to see them back, decent club.

    Leicester are my second team, so I'm happy for them. Vardy is the player you want mind, rated him since I first saw him last year.

    Leicester will catch a lot of teams out this year, make no doubt about it. 1-2 injuries though and defensively they're frail.

    Remember Hull and Blackpool had fantastic runs, but look what happened. But I expect Gus to bring in a striker by January maybe Defoe ?

    Strikers form is judged on their goal tally, but remember the Norwich lad (Grant Holt?) who had a golden run and the papers had him at 20m and all the big clubs looking? Or even Cisse at NUFC.

    I think Gus would have had him in a heartbeat. The price tag being the issue
