Dan LCFC Posted 4 October 2015 Share Posted 4 October 2015 I've seen enough. Rooney out, Vardy in. Won't happen but we can dream. Rooney looks pathetically ordinary this season. I'm beginning to think Vardy will now be picked as we all keep saying ... but I'm not sure from an entirely selfish Leicester point of view I want that now. We all know he's one extremely tough little cookie and has played with pain killing injections and with broken bones, but yesterday he took another knock and looked battered .... he could do with a rest. Probably just over worrying ..... He deserves the glory Everyone's biased because they watch one team more than others but I have seen enough of Vardy and Rooney this season to say that Vardy would be a better pick against Estonia than Rooney and be confident in doing so. Make it happen Roy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy is scoring for fun and causing defences nightmares... he should start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJB-fox Posted 4 October 2015 Share Posted 4 October 2015 When's the squad for Euro 2016 actually announced? Obviously we all know Vardy should be the first striker in the squad in this sort of form, but got a horrible feeling he won't be picked purely because he doesn't play for United Liverpool Chelsea etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whoareyaaa Posted 4 October 2015 Share Posted 4 October 2015 I think Vardy would be a lot more useful in a competition against better teams who play football than these friendlys and qualifiers. Imagine he against Germany, Brazil, Italy etc.. would be a nightmare, that's where he will be at his best imo but I doubt he will even get the chance, hopefully Roy has some balls and Vardy keeps on progressing.

Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot Posted 4 October 2015 Share Posted 4 October 2015 He's never going to be overly effective against teams who camp 10 or 11 players behind the ball, against teams better than England he would perform much better given there will be space in behind.

fuchsntf Posted 4 October 2015 Share Posted 4 October 2015 I like Rooney, but neither Manu, nor England have played to his strengths for a couple of seasons. It wont happen, but my 3 guys for the Euros would be Kane, Vardy, and Walcott....simple pace. Maybe then Rooney picking up midfield.With Wiltshire perm injured..

Dan LCFC Posted 4 October 2015 Share Posted 4 October 2015 It's a fair point really about playing to strengths. I don't think England have ever really done that with Rooney. He's had a very good career, no doubt about it, but he could've been even better for me. Could well have gone down as a Zidane or a Del Piero of the game whereas now he'll go down as someone like a Crespo or a Torres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozwin Posted 4 October 2015 Share Posted 4 October 2015 The captaincy and media scrutiny has ruined Rooney. He's lost the edge that made him the top player he was and now I'm not entirely sure what it is he is best at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 4 October 2015 Share Posted 4 October 2015 Only English forward who has even got near Vardy for form this season is Callum Wilson. Amazing really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shailen Posted 5 October 2015 Share Posted 5 October 2015 Imagine a front four of Vardy, Walcot, Rooney and Sterling. With Wilshere and Carrick just behind. The front four all have different qualities to make it an unpredictable line up. Obviously, Wilshere is out but in the Euros we would do well with this team imo.

Finn Claw II Posted 5 October 2015 Share Posted 5 October 2015 I'd want to see Walcott through the middle if I was Woy. Vardy is an impact sub against teams that don't defend deep. I like Sturridge but he is never fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonnieTodger Posted 5 October 2015 Share Posted 5 October 2015 England fan cycle:Moan about people getting in on name and not merit > Moan about small club's players getting in the squad **** it, give Vardy, Ings, Shelvey and Alli proper chances.

Dan LCFC Posted 5 October 2015 Share Posted 5 October 2015 The one where we really find out if Vardy's going to be used in the Euros is if he calls him in for the France friendly. For once we've actually landed some properly testing friendlies ahead of the tournament and I think that can only benefit us ahead of the Euros.

For once we've actually landed some properly testing friendlies ahead of the tournament and I think that can only benefit us ahead of the Euros. Actually this is true, I'm sure for the last several tournaments we have played much weaker opposition. You have to go back to 98 for when we had really testing games just before a tournament...

Kitchandro Posted 5 October 2015 Share Posted 5 October 2015 Absolutely no excuse not to play him up front. The obsession with Kane is really starting to do my head in, he's no better than Vardy at all and if he didn't play for Spurs everyone would think he's crap. Last year was a flash in the pan but soon people will start to see the real Harry Kane; the lazy, average player who turned out for us. As for Rooney, Van Gaal's now realised he can't trust him up front. Woy should take note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox42 Posted 5 October 2015 Share Posted 5 October 2015 Would love to see Rooney play behind Vardy as opposed to aside of him with Vardy being pushed on the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on Roy pick players that are in form and that deserve the england call up for once and dont worry about what the press will say for not picking the old timers!! I would love to see some championship players in the squad as they will at least play there hearts out instead of doing naff all and just mindlessly pass the ball about going nowhere!
