Babylon Posted 19 October 2015 Posted 19 October 2015 People talk about Vardy's age being a factor in him staying but Liverpool paid £4 million for Ricky Lambert - wasn't he 30? I know his game wasn't based around pace like Vardy but never rule it out. If he really wanted to force a move, he'd get one, it just depends how desperate a club are to secure his services.You don't seem to get the point. We wouldn't accept £4m, or £8m or £12m. It would need to be a huge offer to tempt us. The point is other clubs are fairly unlikely to make that kind of bid for someone of his age, that doesn't mean they wouldn't want him.
Babylon Posted 19 October 2015 Posted 19 October 2015 So you're saying there's a difference between £10m and £30m illustrating my point. I'm not saying we're not a selling club. I'm just saying that a club in our position doesn't need to sell it's best players for less than £20-30m. No premier league team needs to sell, but they still do. Once a player says they want out then, it's about getting the best you can.
Dennis118555 Posted 19 October 2015 Posted 19 October 2015 I presume you meant 'less' No god damn you, I will not accept £25 million.
Gerard Posted 19 October 2015 Posted 19 October 2015 If we were offered more than £15m by someone with more money than sense, we should, reluctantly and wishing him all the best, sell. I don't expect this view to be popular. Damn right it won't be popular and for good reason. There are Championship strikers going to Championship clubs going for not much less than that. The new TV deal coming in means PL clubs will be awash with more money which makes cashing Vardy in for £15m even more ludicrous. We'd be a laughing stock and so small time if every time we get a decent offer we folded like a pack of cards. Who would we buy to replace Vardy with the proceeds? We'll never get anywhere if every time we got a cracking player we looked to off load him at the first opportunity.
fuchsntf Posted 19 October 2015 Posted 19 October 2015 Why did we sell Lineker and Heskey? I'm sure they felt loyal to the club and still do. Answer: £££££££ ! "Hello my name is Benítez / Pellegrini who will lose my massive income this year unless I win something. Here is £20 million. No? OK here is £35 million for that player. Thanks, enjoy your relegation scrap..... bye!" Too good, too soon! we've been here before and that's why we don't spout off like Norwich, Bolton, Wolves, Derby and the many other clubs who think they have one season in the top flight and their the dogs bolloks. Stop talking about a poxy 10/12 million and answer the god damn question. When the big boys come, and they will, can we match the offer of these clubs when were still looking about for RB for a few million. Or can we cope without them and still grow ??? What player on our books would any of the so called big boys pay 12 mill plus for..?? Read my posts answering you. Dont mis-understand me ,good topic or theme to open, but the last 2 seasons have put breaks on wild mass internal PL buying from The so called biggies.. Sterling to Man-city, the obvious move, but high WC potential. Ings to Liverpool, well they always do dont they.. Cant see any club in the PL other than Liverpool coming for Mahrez. Any club from smalltime Europe could come hunting, but no biggie, again Mahrez. Vardy , would for me be a massive suprise, for a one season fill in maybe. The biggies have already his type of player, plus his age they wont bother, no top 6 is struggling enough. These 2 , thats it. Now !!! if Vardy was 25-26 even, they would come sniffing. Honestly I believe we have something unique, that could well give us 1-3 good seasons, but not one individual, that I see anybody coming in for. The other way around...City should be sniffing for a quality proven CB. Break-in ...Kramaric and ULloa before Xmas, if they cant crack it, off they go, with us looking for a younger central striker
Dennis118555 Posted 19 October 2015 Posted 19 October 2015 What you've also got to consider, is if we sell mahrez for £25 million(for example) and we go down, miss out on the increased TV money deal. Well that £25 million wouldn't look so great.

Heymister2015 Posted 19 October 2015 Posted 19 October 2015 What's the point selling big players for big money and risk not finding a good enough replacement when big money is on offer from being in the premiership anyway! Keep your best players and not have that problem in the first place! Just push on and add further quality and make Leicester a force they've never been before! The leagues wide open! Teams like spurs aren't richer then Leicester anymore! So why submit and give into them?
Heymister2015 Posted 19 October 2015 Posted 19 October 2015 January is all about saying no to ridiculous money for our players and going out adding to it such as Carrillo from Sporting Lisbon
Dan Posted 19 October 2015 Posted 19 October 2015 I cannot see why the big clubs would come knocking on the door of a club like Leicester anymore. You would have to pay through the nose to sign anyone decent. I've said it elsewhere but I think if I was a manager/director of football etc... I think at least 90% of my signings would be from abroad. So much more value. I'm a big fan of Vardy and a big fan of Mahrez but I genuinely couldn't see us taking under fifty million for the pair of them and no-one's paying that.
Dan Posted 20 October 2015 Posted 20 October 2015 Vardy will know himself he takes time to settle and adapt. He won't want to sacrifice his place for the Euros by moving in January You kidding? If he joined Liverpool or Spurs he'd be on the plane.
EnglishOxide Posted 20 October 2015 Posted 20 October 2015 I really don't like this thread. It's all too negative. I'm not used to players leaving and to be honest I don't think anybody at this moment in time would want to leave. Vardy strikes me as being loyal. Mahrez is not yet the finished article and has stated how happy he is here. Drinkwater is not going to attract the attention of bigger clubs - but if he does they won't offer enough for him. Kante has only just arrived. Kramaric is the only one who may go, but I'm hopeful he will fight for his place and as fourth choice striker, he wouldnt be too badly missed at this stage. We don't need the money. We have a happy squad (Kramaric aside). It's very early in the season and I think people are getting ahead of themselves when they talk about our players being poached.
ozleicester Posted 20 October 2015 Posted 20 October 2015 I presume you meant 'less' No god damn you, I will not accept £25 million.
Len Finsbury Posted 21 October 2015 Posted 21 October 2015 You don't seem to get the point. We wouldn't accept £4m, or £8m or £12m. It would need to be a huge offer to tempt us. The point is other clubs are fairly unlikely to make that kind of bid for someone of his age, that doesn't mean they wouldn't want him. You've no idea how much we'd accept for him, you're speculating the same as the rest of us. A player that relies on pace has a shorter shelf life than one that doesn't, I think we can all provide examples. We could decide that £8-12m would be worth taking rather than next to nothing in a year's time when he's burnt out/out of form. £8m isn't a lot of money to a PL club but that player could be the difference between success and failure. The financial rewards from that success far outweigh the transfer fee. This applies to us and any potential club that may be interested. However, if his success with us and England means his head gets turned by his agent, he might well fancy moving on. Disgruntled, 'wantaway' players almost always go for less than their 'considered value'. I'm not saying it will happen, just that it could. To rule it out completely is foolish.
biggs Posted 21 October 2015 Posted 21 October 2015 Vardy's style of play would not suit the 'big boy' premier league teams slower pace. He's no 1 with us and would likely fall down the pecking order with any of the big clubs. Mahrez would more likely than Vardy be a transfer target by how he controls a game going forward. Both are great Leicester players but Mahrez doesn't track back well and Vardy doesn't fit a slow build up. Club owners also know without these two players we would be a weaker team no matter who we reasonably bring in as the new players would need time to adapt to our style of play. Premier league money is big money and it appears to me the owners have higher ambitions for this team than relegation battles each year.
Great Boos Up Posted 21 October 2015 Author Posted 21 October 2015 New money is coming in to the Prem and we broke the bank with 10/12 million ish. Vardy has the top English goals tally so 30 million is realistic. Mahrez has a talent that's worth 20 million plus. Drinkwater is now proven.. 15 million? Even Kasper who in goalkeeping terms has 10 years to play so 10 million. A mangers life is shorter than a players for the majority of clubs. So Klopp pays 30 Venger pays 25 mourinho pays 15 Van gaal pays 10 This is actually peanuts to them and they can pay this money for a short term fix. Will we roll over and have our tummies tickled or will we say no and spend more to keep them. Villa virtually have placed themselves to go down with this attitude ( yippee ki yay kemo sabe) Just thinking ahead to ensure we are in it for the long term.
dannythefox Posted 21 October 2015 Posted 21 October 2015 Liverpool, Spurs, Swansea are crying out for a player like Vardy and mahrez I just hope we don't sell them.
Gerard Posted 21 October 2015 Posted 21 October 2015 I think we can just about hold off Liverpool and Spurs and any other PL team with ease outside the top four. Vardy plays better in a quick counter attacking team and I'm not so sure he'd be that effective against teams parking the bus. I'm really not concerned about Vardy or Mahrez leaving as we have them on long contracts and they'll only go with mega money offers.

dylanlegend Posted 22 October 2015 Posted 22 October 2015 To be honest the players I worry about signing for a top 4/5 club are Mahrez but also wouldn't surprise me if teams starting sniffing around Kante / Jeff as these are players that I believe would suit them better. Vardy just wouldn't suit a top 4/5 club he's too unfashionable
NotTheMarketLeader Posted 22 October 2015 Posted 22 October 2015 These players need to be retained at the club at all costs, and when I say at all costs, they are to demand a hefty transfer fee if they should ever leave: Mahrez Vardy Kanté Schlupp (Drinkwater) (Schmeichel) I do include Drinkwater in that list, because potentially - yes, potentially - he could become as influential to our midfield the way Scholes was for Manchester United. (Disclaimer: I am not saying Drinkwater has the same talent than Scholes or could ever be as good as Scholes - I'm simply making a relative comparison) Vardy Kante and Mahrez are the really ones in this team that make big difference. You've named Schlupp, but all he can do is run fast, with 8 times out of 10 no quality. Dyer on the other hand who we have seen in two halves so far has shown far more quality with goals and assists in very little game time. Baffled how Schlupp is rated as a better player than Dyer in some people's eyes (I do understand at present he's a loanee).
Dan Posted 22 October 2015 Posted 22 October 2015 Only big club I could seriously see coming in for Vardy is Liverpool.
Great Boos Up Posted 22 October 2015 Author Posted 22 October 2015 So Klopp pays 30 Maybe no January coup, but if he keeps this scoring record in tact then we may have to rethink next summer. Oh my God, I just quoted myself. Sorry.
fuchsntf Posted 22 October 2015 Posted 22 October 2015 CLAUDIO..confirms on Sky interview neither Vardy nor Mahrez are going anywhere, Even if big boys come asking...
