Or just a fairly average keeper that didn’t have much to do last season and had a good start to this season

So do Chelsea

impressive detail

Have a look at Luton’s team. its riddled with journeymen. We have players that represent their country, their most experienced player was Barkley on loan. Barely any had any top flight experience. As for going down, depends if they ruin the season by letting the clown start the season

The sad thing is we spent all That money on strikers and no one came close to him and that was when we were an attractive proposal with leading scouting department. Now all the other teams have overtaken us in stature like Brighton Fulham, Bournemouth, Brentford etc. Plus we are going to be shopping with a reduced budget, we really need to get lucky or there could be some dark seasons ahead

No that would be clutch

I don’t think top will ever want to sell as it’s got such a link to his father dying there and his project. The best we can hope for is a reshuffle

Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy has admitted he is still uncertain whether he will keep his job following the club's relegation to the Championship. Van Nistelrooy said he has spoken with Leicester's owners and the board about 'how we move forward as a club'. 'I know what my plan is to bring the club back but I am waiting on alignment,' he said.

it’s beneficial to Vardy, and if anything increases the angst towards the club and where we are heading.

What’s De Niro doing there?

He is in the weakest team he has played in, it’s not really comparable with what he used to create. The first 14 games under a manager that could attack he scored 6

Maybe he could still do it, if he wasn’t playing in a team that creates nothing and has some of the lowest xg recorded since the bellend manager took over

A tad wishful thinking, relegated in the last match. Been on the cards for weeks if not a month What makes you think people would be any worse than on the back of consecutive defeats before the Brighton Match. It’s been about as bad as form can get

I hear this sort of thing a lot, but look how many examples there are of new managers improving sides just this season. All of a sudden Everton fans go into the Summer without the same dread of previous seasons. Wolves will be thinking Top 8 is a possibility. Villa were 17th when they got rid of SG. Bournemouth etc We may have still been relegated but we should’ve been more competitive This squad is not worse than Luton’s team last season

Why’s it a deflection tactic? It’s Vardys choice just like it probably is to announce it to give him the chance to get the best offers he can early

Nice thought but he had seasons where he had scored 24 goals for Real prior to that. Out of 9 seasons in Real only 2 bad returns 5 and 11 goals.

Gotta blame the wife a bit, no chance in lowering his wage when she needs £3m covered

Analysis: Leicester will never see someone like Vardy again By John Percy Sitting in a Santa Monica hotel, shortly after Leicester City’s glorious title win in 2016, Jamie Vardy compared his own rise to a fairground ride. The problem is that, at some point, the rollercoaster has to come to a halt. Vardy has now reached the end of his journey at Leicester, and we will never see his like again. He is not only Leicester’s greatest ever signing - a mere £1 million from Fleetwood Town in May 2012 - but arguably one of the Premier League’s best ever buys. Vardy has lifted the Premier League title, an FA Cup, two Championship titles and a Community Shield. He has rampaged across Europe’s finest arenas in the Champions League. During that title winning season, when Leicester turned putting noses out of joint into an art form, he broke a long-standing goals record by scoring in 11 consecutive league matches. The previous owner of that record? Leicester’s current manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. Vardy has also appeared in a World Cup and European Championship, earning 26 caps for his country. Quite simply, he is a true legend of the past decade in English football. A ‘Barclaysman’ in every sense. Vardy once dressed up as Spiderman to lift spirits around the training ground and has been Leicester’s very own super hero. He turned 38 in January and does not deserve his story to end on such a sour note. Leicester were relegated on Sunday, for the second time in three seasons, and in recent weeks he has visibly carried the pain of such a nightmare campaign. Even in a struggling team, he managed seven league goals this season. It has been difficult not to feel sympathy for him. Vardy’s story is also one of great loyalty. He had many chances to leave over the years, most notably when Arsenal came in for him after the title win. He has epitomised Leicester’s electric story more than any other player. There may be frustration over this season, but the 13 years have largely been ups rather than downs. Despite the infamous stories of Red Bull and omelettes before matches, he has cleverly prolonged his career by tailoring his training regime. He even has a cryotherapy chamber installed in his home to aid recovery. Even Vardy cannot have predicted what would follow when Leicester shattered the non-league transfer record to sign him. It was Nigel Pearson who took what was perceived as a gamble nearly 13 years ago. Many, many clubs watched the tearaway with a soaring reputation, including future England manager Roy Hodgson while he was in charge at West Brom. It proved a slow-burner, and many one-on-ones with Pearson and his assistant Craig Shakespeare were required to convince Vardy that he could cut it at a higher level. Losing a play-off semi-final in dramatic fashion to Watford in his first season, promotion followed the following campaign and the fairytale ignited. Vardy was the archetypal pest, with shark-like instincts in the penalty area. So many goals spring to mind, and I still maintain he has never received enough credit for his lethal finishing. There was the goal which clinched a remarkable 5-3 win over Manchester United, with Vardy sliding to his knees complete with Mohican haircut. A brilliant individual goal at West Brom later in the 2014/15 season which sparked the Great Escape from relegation. Vardy terrorised Premier League defences for several years Credit: Getty Images/Getty Images In the title campaign, how about the wonderful dipping volley against Liverpool? There was a cheeky backheel for England in a famous 3-2 win over Germany. Another memorable strike came against West Brom in 2018 when he displayed sublime technique to volley Riyad Mahrez’s long pass into the bottom corner. Vardy’s story was also the stuff of legend off the field. He is and was a complete one-off. This is the man who, during his non-league escapades, wrapped cling film over the car of Fleetwood’s club chef. He learns swear words in foreign languages to unsettle defenders marking him. Who can forget those scenes of joyous celebration at his house when the league title was secured? Vardy has cornered the market in goal celebrations in front of opposition supporters. He was an undisputed king of s---housery. He is soon to appear in a Netflix documentary and there will be enough material to film a second series. So what next? It was understood to be Vardy’s decision to leave Leicester, feeling it was the right time to finally sever his ties. He is going to explore all options, which include potentially staying in the Premier League. There are other offers both domestically and overseas. Crucially, Vardy still feels he has a lot to offer and, as always, wants to prove the doubters wrong. His farewell tour with Leicester will be five matches, starting at Wolves this weekend. One thing we have all discovered with Vardy is that he can never, ever, be written off.

Jamie Vardy targets Premier League move after choosing to leave Leicester City Former England striker has made 496 appearances and scored 198 goals for club since joining from Fleetwood Town in 2012 John Percy24 April 2025 5:06pm BST Jamie Vardy is bringing the curtain down on his Leicester career, during which he won the Premier League in 2016 Credit: Getty Images/Carl Recine Jamie Vardy is not ruling out extending his career in the Premier League after announcing he is leaving relegated Leicester after 13 years. Vardy will weigh up his options after making the decision to leave Leicester at the end of this season and is open to staying in the top flight as he feels like he still has a lot to offer. Leicester’s immediate relegation back to the Championship was sealed on Sunday with a 1-0 defeat by Liverpool, which led to Vardy labelling their season a “total embarrassment”. Vardy has made 496 appearances for Leicester since joining the club from Fleetwood Town in 2012 and played a huge role in Leicester’s fairy-tale Premier League title in 2016 when he broke Ruud van Nistelrooy’s record by scoring in 11 consecutive matches. He scored 18 goals as Leicester won the Championship last season, but this term he has managed just seven in the league. In a heartfelt video posted on social media, Vardy said: “To the fans of Leicester, gutted that this day is coming but I knew it was going to come eventually. “I have spent 13 unbelievable years at this club with lots of success. Some downs but the majority were highs but it is finally time to call it a day, which I am devastated about, but I think the timing is right.” Vardy also won the FA Cup and Community Shield in 2021 under Brendan Rodgers as well as two Championship titles and is the club’s third-highest goal scorer with 198. In their title-winning campaign, Vardy was named the Premier League Player of the Season and the Football Writers’ Association’s Footballer of the Year. He also won the Premier League’s Golden Boot with 23 goals in 2019-20. His last home game will be against Ipswich Town at the King Power Stadium on May 18. “It’ll be a really sad day,” Vardy told the club’s website. “It’s something that I’ve thought about and spoken about with my family. I think it’s time.” He added on Instagram: “My only regret and I feel devastated about this – is that I am not saying farewell to you on the back of a much better season. This isn’t how I wanted my career here to finish. Finally this isn’t retirement, I want keep playing and doing what I enjoy most – scoring goals. I may be 38 but I’ve still got the desire and ambition to achieve so much more.” Vardy has enjoyed a glittering career at Leicester Credit: Getty Images When asked if a statue should be made in tribute to Vardy, his manager Ruud van Nistelrooy said: “Of course. He is the best player to ever play for this club. When you put the silverware next to his goals and appearances, you get the full picture.”

Got a right back he wanted after speaking to enzo didn’t use him. Probably just as well he didn’t get players otherwise we would be left with more castoffs

Shame there wasn’t a young protege that learnt from him for years in training. Ready to step up. Would’ve made it much more palatable

Said earlier it was reported their top earner under 40k

Going into a season with the most unlikable set of players ever
