I also remember when we signed him when we first got promoted and Pearson/Walsh or both (I can't remember now) asked Wasilewski & Morgan which forward gave you the most trouble in the Championship last season? They both said Ulloa.



He's not my type of centre forward, he's not quick or skilful so can look ungainly and not a great first touch.

However, he's very good at holding the ball up, great in the air and knows where the back of the net is, he's a bit like Connor Wickham in his style of play.

I like Deeney as a player, the best player in the Championship for a couple of years when Watford were there. He would also definitely be an upgrade on Okazaki or Ulloa but I'd be pissed off to see us spend that kind of fee on him. There's only a few hundred players in the world that wouldn't move to Leicester now given the chance and for that money I'm sure we could do better.

What annoys me is we've just won the title and we're still linked to players that we were linked to last season. You think we'd make the most of our stock being this high and go and get some really high rated players.
 
If you do sell him who would be your choice for a replacement?

I can't really give a qualified opinion as I don't know enough about the player but we've been linked with Ahmed Musa from CSKA Moscow for £23m. He's even quicker than Vardy with a similar work rate and engine but not as composed in front of goal but he is only 23. He would be a similar type player though.
 
What people should remember is that whilst we lose the likes of Fletcher as his contract is up, Deeney signed a 5 year deal just last season, this will bump the transfer fee up.
Catts has 5 years left on his 6 year deal and some people on here want to sell him to the mutants for £5m
 
Deeney is a lot younger, so if he is as good as you say you have got a good deal.

Two years younger but they are different type of strikers, Deeney will be taking Okazaki's place and if Vardy goes we'll buy someone else.
