Salieri

Yeah that lad we bought from relegated Hull turned out to be a right donkey 🙄

I presume there’s no streams for this?

Of course fans are entitled to have an opinion on him, and I acknowledged that he has been poor and past his best etc, I took issue with the nature of the criticism, like calling him a 'fat sow' for example, or are you ok with that?

Did I say he deserves to start over other players?

I appreciate that Wes is way past his best and has been poor lately etc but some of the vitriol aimed at him is a disgrace. The man has been an absolute warrior for us and hugely instrumental in our successes in recent years, deserves way more respect.

YAWN

Currently in the Lansdowne pub near the train station and the barman recommended the Kayal which is just down the road, might give it a try 😋

Cheers for the feedback guys, on the road now, can’t wait 😁

Coming up from Cornwall to watch the Newcastle match and looking to savour a delicious curry on the Friday night, any recommendations would be appreciated. Cheers folks 🍻

Coming up from Cornwall for this, where’s the best place for a decent curry in the city centre?

IF, there was a concrete bid from another club, offering a wage that was more than what he is on now, then of course the dynamics would change and we would have to consider an improved contract as it would be devastating to lose a player of Vardy's importance and calibre. But, until then, I see no reason to pander to him or his agent, he is under contract and should be told to just get on with his job.

But he is being paid the 'going rate' (whatever that is). There's no way that you can argue that our club hasn't rewarded the players post title win, and rightly so, you're going on like the poor saps are 'struggling' on 20K a week. I would argue that in Vardy's case that he is very much being paid a fair salary, if he was 5 years younger than I would get your point as i'm sure he could get more elsewhere, but I highly doubt that he will find a better offer at this stage of his career. Unless of course he'd like to venture abroad to inferior leagues and standards of football to get an earlier payday, which would be a real shame as he still has 2 or 3 years left at this level i'm sure. I'm astounded that you're trying to argue that our owners haven't moved with the times and circumstances, but at the same time they have a responsibility to retain realism and stability. We can't compete with the kind of money being thrown around by the likes of Man Utd and the like, the long term future and stability of the club is always paramount, not the whims of any one player and his blood sucking agent.

No. Been an extremely good servant to the club and will always be fondly remembered (by most ) but has never possessed the ability, or had the impact, to be considered a legend. In FM terms, I guess he would be 'favoured personnel', or at best 'icon'.

He could run his contract down anyway and head off to China or the MLS and make another fortune for the remaining days of his playing career, which i'm sure is exactly what he'll do, and fair play to him if he does just that. He would owe us nothing and would rightly be remembered as a true legend.

I'm sorry, but you can dress it up all you like, and make all kinds of excuses and justifications, but pure and simply it comes down to GREED, and he and his agent(s) are just a reflection of how things are now in football, sadly.
