Coming to Leeds to help become a part of a famous team's side and be key to returning them to where they belong

He will be driving there with me in 2 weeks when I go back
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Given he has a few PL and La Liga clubs after him the chances of him joining Leeds are extremely minimal but keep dreaming

Hernandez about to join Malaga too. Pity it's not worked out for him, he's a likeable bloke so I wish him well too.

So that's Schlupp, Ulloa and Hernandez out and Ndidi, Ramirez? and Acerbi? coming in. Seems decent to me and addresses all the areas we need strengthening.

On another note Algeria are practically out so Mahrez and Slimani should be back for the FAC but the Burnley game is more likely.

ur signing Acerbi?

he was very promising at one point
----------------------------------------------------------------------
We've had bids rejected but are said to be determined to sign him and he wants to come.

You said he was promising at one point? Reports I've read say he's one of the best in Serie A, behind the Juve duo, is that not the case then? Do you think he'd be good for us or another Hernandez?

Ulloa has been an excellent pro during his time at the club. He wants to leave now for all the right reasons so we wish him well and good luck.

Ooooooooo his name is Leonardo.....

That would be 3 out and 1 in. We would be very short in defence, hope Claudio has some replacements lined up as some of the rumours floating round seem to have no substance at the moment.

Interestingly, Ranieri wants Ulloa to stay, at least until the end of the season. It's one of those difficult situations where it's in Ulloa's interests to move on but it's in the club's interests for him to stay for a while. If he's forced to stay he will continue to sit on the bench (or not even make that) and feel unhappy about his lot, but he remains a very useful option upon occasion, or even more than that if we end up in a relegation dogfight. I'm not sure which way this one's going to go.

I think if Ulloa wants to go then Ranieri will let him.

I'd like him to stay but it's best for him to leave.

If he goes it's with my best wishes. Contributed to our recent success so 👍

Dunge, I feel there's no way Leicester will be contenders for relegation.
If the worst comes to the worst, just think of three teams you're better than on this season's form to date. They're the ones who'll go down.
