deep blue Posted 15 November 2015 Share Posted 15 November 2015 I'd be more worried about keeping Vardy full back page of the star today. Utd in shock swoop 15m Funny how they keep saying "shock" move when they've been pushing the rumour for the last 3 weeks or more. Depressing if we did lose either/both Vardy & Mahrez. This season there's the best ever opportunity for dislodging the boring stranglehold of the "big" clubs, given that they are being challenged by performances and results of the "lesser" clubs. And possibly interested parties include man u, spurs, Liverpool and Chelsea - all below us at the moment (and pool & chels on the slide at the mo). They can usually offer Europe, but if we keep our best players, and maybe upgrade a little in Jan, then it's not inconceivable that we could be knocking on Europe's door. The "smaller" clubs can offer big money too now so it's less of a differential. I hope we can resist this interest, as Everton managed to do with Stones. If not, then the whole pattern will keep rolling on - the same "top" teams will keep dominating the league and representing us in Europe, and noone will be given a chance for England unless they come from a "top" team, irrespective of abilitv, form, injury-free-ness or match fitness.

Costock_Fox Posted 15 November 2015 Share Posted 15 November 2015 The only way Vardy leaves is if Vardy wants to leave and forces it. Is he going to do this in January with the euros coming up when he could flop in a different team and miss out? Not a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 15 November 2015 Share Posted 15 November 2015 Leicester hold the cards with Vardy as he'll be 29 in January and contracted up until he's 31.5 . If a super club comes in for him it's only fair we let him go but they need to pay £40m minimum and not try and force the issue with their pocket change and insults of £15m. I wouldn't be surprised if in the summer he signs a one or two year extension to his contract for £100k a week and a minimum release fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 15 November 2015 Share Posted 15 November 2015 Vardy will be going nowhere and neither will Mahrez. Can possibly see Kramaric out on loan and us getting Breel Embolo in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted 15 November 2015 Share Posted 15 November 2015 . I wouldn't be surprised if in the summer he signs a one or two year extension to his contract for £100k a week and a minimum release fee. I would be mightily surprised. We don't want to be paying a 33 year old Vardy 100k a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Countryfox Posted 15 November 2015 Share Posted 15 November 2015 Chelsea want to unload Diego Costa ..... One of those horrible nasty buggers that everyone hates ... unless he's playing for you. How big are the owners pockets ? What are their ambitions ? Could he handle the step up to a top 3 team ? ...... Did I have some magic mushrooms in my omelette this morning ??????

Gerard Posted 15 November 2015 Share Posted 15 November 2015 I would be mightily surprised. We don't want to be paying a 33 year old Vardy 100k a week. I think he'll be a young 33. Not many miles on his clock as he hasn't played or trained intensively until coming up to his mid 20's. Also he has the physique of an 18 year old, he looks naturally wiry and strong but skinny look. I'd imagine there wouldn't be an ounce of fat of him if he wasn't a professional footballer and worked as a plumber or whatever. The man is a natural athlete and I'm sure our sports science team will use his natural assets and keep him at the top of his game at least until he's 32 if not 33 and a bit beyond.

No way he'd come here after being a star for Atletico Madrid and Chelsea. We'd also have to play a conventional 4-4-2 and or disrupt Vardy. I'd like us to buy a player to play as a No 10, Payet would have brilliant for us and Vardy but alas he would of always chose West Ham ahead of us.

jayfox26 Posted 15 November 2015 Share Posted 15 November 2015 I really can't see the owners selling Vardy in January unless he kicks up a fuss and hands in a transfer request. The owners have worked hard building a good relationship with the fans, even after sacking Pearson, so they know that selling Vardy would ruin that relationship. Doesn't matter if it's £15m £30m £50m, the money is irrelevant as we are rich and dont need it. The fact is Vardy cannot be replaced for any money as he is pivotal to our style of play. If Vardy goes, we would have to look at changing our style to suit whoever comes in to replace him. We could do that next summer but not in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Real Madrid bid £15m then it's easy to turn down as it isn't enough and they obviously only value him as a reserve player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicesterseddon Posted 15 November 2015 Share Posted 15 November 2015 Am I the only one who thinks the top clubs are actually probably not interested in Vardy? I mean, not to do the guy down...he's been fantastic for us this season. But he's only really coming into his own as a PL player at the age of 28. Personally I'm much more worried about Mahrez, not just because he's younger but also because I think he's more likely to attract interest from abroad (where his biggest weakness - a lack of strength - is less of an issue). I think we'll keep both players this January. But in the long-term I think it's likely Mahrez will leave if a bigger club comes in for him.

jayfox26 Posted 15 November 2015 Share Posted 15 November 2015 We'll be safe come the back end of January. we would have almost half a season to find a winning style without JV So all you want is to be safe? Personally I'd rather keep vardy add one or 2 others and have a good go at finishing top 6. Much easier to replace Vardy and change our whole game play during the summer when we have 3 months to sort ourselves out rather than potentially wrecking what has been a great season so far and maybe end up finishing where we finished last season. I'm more ambitious and say we just keep him and see where we end up at the end of the season. Unless of course he wants to leave but I can't see that happening in January. And as for Real Madrid coming in for him which was mentioned earlier, dont he silly! Real Madrid can sign any striker in the world, they won't want 28 year old Jamie Vardy who was unknown until this season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox seen in Norwich Posted 15 November 2015 Share Posted 15 November 2015 How's about welbeck? I think he'd be great with Vardy and adds height with pace. Injured at the mo but could back at xmas so 6 month initial loan with view to buy He left United to get 1st team action but isn't garaunteed that at Arsenal or at any of the other "top 4" Personality and ethic would fit in with us and in my view takes up a level in player I'd imagine lots of other prem teams like us would be interested but worth ago I reckon regardless of cost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deep blue Posted 15 November 2015 Share Posted 15 November 2015 His game is based on speed. He's the fastest player in the Prem. He won't be at 33. How can you be so certain of that? Don't underestimate the capability of our fitness staff, not to mention the unique fitness and desire of Vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJB-fox Posted 15 November 2015 Share Posted 15 November 2015 Like the idea of Welbeck here actually. Feel a bit sorry for him, he needs to join an Everton/Swansea/Leicester/West Ham/Palace sort of side so he ca actually play week in week out. Having said that, many of the clubs I've just mentioned already have very good strikers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, many of the clubs I've just mentioned already have very good strikers! He's not playing for Arsenal because he's been dropped, it's because he's forever injured. I'd certainly have him as the player he is but he's a constant sick note so avoid IMO. Not that he would come anyway as Man Utd > Arsenal > Leicester is too much a come down for him.
