Like it, Foxello.👍

There's just one big c-ck on this thread and I'm sure we won't hold it against normal Leicester fans! Phnaar! Phnaar!

All the best for the season.

Foxello the point was we think we've paid too much, do West Brom think they've paid too much? Meant to be a bit of a debate about transfer fees blah blah blah but never turned out that way!

So there you go again Baggie Bummer with your insults, you can't help it can you? You need to keep yourself in check sunshine 👍

And I guess I'm a c**k because I don't rate your players, I think £10m for someone that's been playing in a pub league is too much and is more of a gamble than Ulloa and because of what of I've done in my life?

Yeah good one ha ha 😄

Yada yada.

Do Foxes suffer from 'little Fox syndrome'?

Jus wonderin.......

Not really because we consider ourselves to be a bigger club in modern times than West Brom given that for the majority of my life you've been in divisions below us and haven't won anything for the best part of half a century. I mean seriously who are you? You've spent a few years of mediocrity in the top flight and all of a sudden you're a big club? You're having a laugh lads 👍

Blimey, can't remember a 300+ reply thread since we played Celtic in a pre-season a few years ago and the thread got hijacked by Celtic and Rangers fans. That thread was about as fun to read as this one was as well.

Anyway, to answer the question, I don't think we've paid too much for Ulloa. Any half decent striker being signed for a Premier League side from another English club is going to command that sort of price tag minimum. The only way you'll pay less is if you go for the foreign market where prices are cheaper.

If Ulloa turns out to be another Ade Akinbiyi, then I may well be eating my worms, but I don't think that will happen.

Good luck to the Baggies for this season. See you down Filbert Way in November.

Finally a sensible, football related answer. Nice one 👍

Oh and I've read them laughing at Villa for claiming delusions of grandeur because of their 1982 European triumph but at least I was born then unlike the last time WBA lifted some silverware. How they can mock Villa is beyond me but there you go.

arro, now you are just making things up and you are factually incorrect.
Not wanting to upset the few decent Foxes that have been on here but have Leicester actually ever won anything?

Here's one stat for you, arro.
Head to head, Albion 46 wins, Leicester 30 wins...

You sound like Forest fans but at least they've won something!

You've won nothing and done nothing other than spend most of your time between the second and third division for the best part of 50 years.

You were a big club like Burnley, Huddersfield and Blackpool were but none of them are anymore and neither are WBA! Reality check 👍

Heisenberg,

Very interesting WBA statistic from the Conclusions

"Of the 20 clubs contesting the 2013-2014 Premier League, only 11 are historically among the top 20 English teams and are therefore competing at their correct historical level. These are the top ten in our ranking, plus West Brom."

Arro, do you have many male friends? Because I cant imagine anyone lasting 10 mins in your boring continuously bragging company without wanting to knock you out. Maybe that is why you spend all your time chatting to women...

Mind you, I bet that you're also a body builder and a black belt in 4 different martial arts so nobody would dare touch you.

Anyway - have a really enjoyable season and prepare for the reality check.

You're up there because of the leagues you won pre war and your FA cups back in the 60's.

You might see yourselves on that list but it's old and you're not that club anymore! You can't go as long as Albion have without winning a trophy and still claim to be a big club.

Pretty much sums Leicester up...

WBA are a bigger club than Leicester, that's why we can spend more on star strikers than yow. That's not saying we are a big club, because a lot of clubs are bigger than Leicester

Facts is facts and you can't argue with 'em, cobber.

I actually don't like many men to be honest and most of my friends are female so the answer to your question would be no!

The reason is because I believe in being a gentleman and most men aren't. Let's face it most men aren't very nice, they lie and cheat and conversations are often, in fact almost always, about secks (proper spelling not allowed) football and drinking and quite frankly there's more to life 👍

Can't stand the gym and had no time for anything other than football when I was young so no!

I think you'll be the one having a reality check next season, especially in November 👍

arro, factually incorrect again. Albion have only ever been in the 3rd tier of football twice in their history and I may add, have never been in administration (just thought I would add that for the rise).

You're not doing very well at this wumming lark...

Btw. We taught your Manager his stuff...... Say thanks to the Baggies.

I'm all for facts and fair play because you do have a history to be proud of and I'm serious, it's impressive but it is just that, history 👍

You're not a big club anymore and to suggest that you're bigger than Leicester in current times is laughable. We're a medium sized club as are you so wakey wakey 👍

Comfortably in the top 15 most successful English clubs of all time.

Incase you hadnt noticed only the top 6 actually win anything these days - Villa, Newcastle, Everton, Wolves, Albion, Forest, Leeds and all of the other historically succesful clubs dont win things anymore.

That's once more than us then 😉

Hmmm going into administration, yeah that really affects a lot, didn't affect us too much seeing as we were already promoted and it was actually the catalyst for where we are now so that was a huge positive 😊

Yeah we're grateful that you were stupid enough to let him go, he's the best manager you've never had and a lot more successful than Irvine, how has he gone from Preston to Everton youth to the PL? Makes no sense. I wouldn't be grossly unhappy if we'd recently appointed him, thank f we have Pearson so yeah cheers 😄

And the not doing too well at the wumming either me old flower!

wba_1996

arro thinks Leicester are going to be the exception.
It's actually a horrible, unforgiving league where even if you outplay a top 6 side the ref will still get ya.

arro and Leicester will soon be finding out that things have moved on since the late '90's.

When was the last time Leicester finished in a higher position than than the mighty West Bromwich Albion?
