A championship club has had a bid accepted today.

Nixon's "fox" comment.

Another tweet saying we're in for a foreign striker.

Suspect this is a goer.

Leeds fans think it might be them due ti the argentina link

I still think Matt Smith would be a decent shout. A physical option who would compliment our other strikers.

Him and a pacy winger/AM on loan and we are good to go.

Always rated the fella, would love him at United

 

[Pinchy]

Someone suggests aging striker..:someone reacts with outrage and has a go at the club for considering it.

Couldn’t make this shit up...well some could I suppose.

It’s the Bladesfans’ Way.

Loan, contribute 25% wages, thread resurrected

We're going to help Detby out by taking Vidra, don't say you were not told!

Wilder says a bid goes in this morning

Later that morning Leicester accept a bid for Ulloa from a championship club

Looks like this is the one

Like all quality performers, he always seems to have plenty of time...

Seriously hope to god this isn't true

 

[Pinchy]

Akinfenwa for me very similar players but he's better would be a real steal to get him

We’ve got another...

Why? He scored 20+ goals for Brighton in the Championship with a good track record in Spain as well. In the prime of his career age wise.

He’s a level up from what we have. If this is true we have to be happy. Quality player.

 

[Iceybabey]

Be a good shout I reckon. Lads got a good attitude.

I agree. It will also provide comedy value as some of our fans try to pronounce his name on football heaven..

Yes, ulloa to you too, how are you?

 

[Davalon]

Will he be the first Leonard since Badger?

Ryan doesn't count.

He's pushing on. 31 now, wouldn't say prime of his career. More at the stage where he'll start to dip. Could be another Clarke but I highly doubt that.

Hes 32

 

[Danetheblade]

Hes 32

Would rather you have corrected me by saying 30 lol.

As would I...

 

[mattbianco1]

A championship club has had a bid accepted today.

One was meant to have been accepted last week:

Hes 32

Today !

 

[Danetheblade]

As would I...

Just checked! His birthday is today! So in theory. He may still be 31. Depending on what time he was born

 

[Tazzy]

guy will run through brick walls. Gives 110 per cent when I have seen him play knows where the net is .Can only see this as a very good move if true

 

[Ricky]

Would be an even better move if we had someone out wide who can run and cross it.

If we do sign him I hope we sign another young striker or at least an attacking midfielder permanently.

 

[GroovyBrad]

What do we reckon the fee is? 31 year old, played in premier league, decent goal scoring record int he Championship? 2-3 million?

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

He's pushing on. 31 now, wouldn't say prime of his career. More at the stage where he'll start to dip. Could be another Clarke but I highly doubt that.

If he’s still hungry and in good condition he will be well capable of scoring 20+ goals for at least two more years. At the right price we have to sign him.

I’m 32 and I don’t consider myself old. I can out run lads 10 years younger than me. Age is a number.

 

[Jon Bon II]

DeGoey.

I'm 62 with only one ankle joint and a dodgy knee and the altered mechanics of my body mean I can't run at all, but as you say, age is only a number

De Goey?

 

[Maidenhead]

De Goey?

Damn. Well played Jon Bon II

Wages. End of thread

According the ever reliable Daily Star, he's on £20k a week. In the highly unlikely event they're right, it doesn't seem that unrealistic. In the last year of his contract, and at tail end of his career; so the fee shouldn't be excessive.

Not got the pace or potential we hoped for. But could be a very astute piece of business for someone.
