Sky are reporting that Ulloa wants out Leicester. Not sure if he'd want to drop back down to The Championship but would be a great addition if he did.

Very good player, I like him a lot.

I would imagine that a stumbling block for us (as well as persuading him to drop a division) would be his similarity in style to both Gestede and Kozak, although I would regard him as an upgrade on both.

Same age as McCormack, however I think he'd be a much better signing.

With Gil gone I expect Ravel Morrison will sign if rumours are to be believed

Not fussed on McCormack.

We had similar in Bent who scored at a reasonable rate for 18 months but we weren't challenging the top 6 at anytime.

How different might things have been though if we had signed Bent instead of Heskey though?

Oh I agree. I suppose he was unlucky we lost Young and Downing within 6 months of him coming and we replaced them abysmally.

That said plenty of games when Bent would hardly figure...pretty sure West Ham away in Lambert's first game he touched the ball 8 times so similar to Gabby's performance at Spurs last season.

Would prefer Kodja or Bamford to getting McCormack in tbh.

According to a few reports were going to hijack Norwich's move for McCormack

Although the one plus side of signing him would be watching LTA try to find something negative to say about Villa doing exactly what he said they should do.

Ayew and Amavi will definitely stay! We'll get striker but be confident with the manager team knowing what to do!

No grey area in that statement!  Got to love his confidence, he could have said something more cautious like "we will do our best to keep them" but the kind of confidence he's shown in that that tweet is refreshing to see.

That's great and I hope it's true, but isn't it up to RDM whether they stay or not?
