Yep, looks more of an acknowledgement that Whelan might not be up to it and Jedinak is too important to not have decent cover for. Ulloa is pretty much the perfect forward for Bruce, and would score a lot more than Davis. Both would be fairly decent signings, still lack pace though!

We really need to get rid of the manager not let him waste anymore money on crap signings.

That.

If we must keep the turd, at least limit him to loans and don't let him sell anyone that the next manage might want.

He is so predictable. Mind you if he managed to get gabby off the books I would cut him some slack.

Even if we had loads of spare FFP cash I wouldn’t want to spend it this month anyway. Doesn’t make business sense at all as we have no idea what league we’re going to be in come the summer.
Unless the target was starter quality for a premier league side then loans make the best sense all round.
Ulloa would be great in our league and would suit how we setup perfectly.
Amartey- if it means that Whelan gets further down the DM pecking order then I’m all for this!

Not backing the manager is idiotic.

What do people know of the Ghanaian midfielder? Mobility in the holding role would be very useful.

Ulloa seems to make sense given Davis is going to find his form in and out at his age. Ulloa was a 1 in 2 striker for Brighton and didn't do too bad in Leicester's first season up. Makes sense for a loan given he's not really up to it at Premier League level.

Would he be our first Argentine player? Fourth South American?

Every time I have seen Amartey he has been awful and most Leicester fans would agree with that .

Whether we want Bruce is immaterial - since he'll be here until the end of the season at the very least. He needs backing in this window if we're to maintain a promotion push: particularly as our forward options are limited by injury and the iffy form of those still available. I don't know whether Big Leo (Ulloa) would be able to hit the ground running if he came to VP, but he was superb during his time in the Championship at B&HA before Leicester snaffled him. Living in the East Midlands would mean he could cheerfully commute Westward, so I'd be happy if he fancied getting his career back on track with us. We could do a helluva lot worse IMO.

I've only heard of him because he was mentioned on the previous page of this thread.

When Amartey was sent off against Man Utd my Leicester season ticket holding brother-in-law reckoned it improved the team.

I asked my Leicester supporting dad about him earlier, and he reckons he's as bad as Whelen-which was enough for me to hope we don't get him.

Ulloa on the other hand would be good for us, says my dad.

I've never heard of the midfielder. I do quite like Ulloa. Whether he is quite what we need I'm not sure but he's a decent player.

I think so, he's a target man and has the experience and guile that Davis just lacks at this stage.
