Guest kristianity77 Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 Liking a holiday home in the states and living comfortably for the rest of your life are different things. You can piss any amount of money up the wall. £40K a week (assuming that's all he'd ever get here) is more than enough to be secure financially for the rest of your life. That's near to £150K a year. That's a pretty serious wage. 150K? 40k a week is over 2 million a year.

goose2010 Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 If we're not prepared to offer someone who say got 25 PL goals in a season more than £60k a week we'll go absolutely nowhere as a club. to someone who already has a contract with a few years left? would be madness to pay him any more than that if you ask me.
richardsfoxes Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 40k a week is not enough for him to retire and maintain his standard of living, he was on standard wage till he was 24/25, you've only got to imagine if he signs for whatever top club the extra wages he would get and the signing on bonus, your prob looking at an extra 15-20M in career earnings if he leaves + the chance of winning something.
Gerard Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 to someone who already has a contract with a few years left? would be madness to pay him any more than that if you ask me. He'll have two years left this summer. With the bottom club getting £100m then it's only fair we reward Vardy. Double his money and put him on a four year deal which will set him up for life and keep him here until he's 33.5. If we don't give him a rise he'll be pissed off and his head will be turned by other clubs.
The Horse's Mouth Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 Think he'd want to, in the summer at least. I think this season and the Euros will define his legacy, after playing non league for the majority of his career it's a little hard to say no to the likes of United and Liverpool .etc. if they do indeed come calling. Only side I could see him fitting in well at would be Pool or maybe Spurs. Either way, I wouldn't begrudge him the step up.
My Nads Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 He likes being here, so all he really means about matching his ambition is being paid what he's worth. It will show us what the clubs ambition is too. I'm confident he will be staying here with a bigger pay packet. Of course that would prompt others to want more, but we should pay our best players what they would earn at a bigger club or we wont be able to keep them here.

I might get shot down massively but is Tottenham really that big of a step up, assuming they don't offer bigger wages then we would be prepared to?
ithuriel Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 My brother works around the club, has done for years alongside his 9 to 5 and he says that all these Vardy is going elsewhere rumours are just that, apparently he is quite happy here and is on a good wedge though personally I'd be surprised if we do not offer him yet more.

They're a step up, they'll always be a top 6 challenging top 4 club and have a very good chance of getting the 4th spot up for grabs.
shade Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 They're a step up, they'll always be a top 6 challenging top 4 club and have a very good chance of getting the 4th spot up for grabs. yeah it's defo a step up but assuming monetary recompense was similar, and you enjoyed your workplace and workmates, would you move for the size of step up that Tottenham is?

Depends on how they finish the season off, but I'm sure he'd want to at least experience European football if he's offered it.

ARM1968 Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 I posted something similar to this on the January transfer thread. Vardy may see this as his chance to win stuff and cement his future. Hopefully we will show that we mean business and will stay, but he might not.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 If a big club comes in for him, he's gone in my opinion, not only will he want to go but if they are offering 20M + we cant reject that, you only have to look at southampton to see the power of the big clubs compared to clubs like us and southampton. Chance of 3x his wages, champions league, chance of winning something etc etc. Likewise you can look at the window just gone and see how Everton weren't moved when Chelsea offered an absurd amount for John Stones. That's not to say I don't think he'll be leaving us at the end of the season.

Tuna Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 'The Vardy Dilemma' Sounds like the name of a political thriller.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 It's a very tough decision, I doubt he will be any happier at another club, but when you finally retire you'd want to be able to say that you played for Leicester City. I've edited your post so that it makes more sense.
Trav Le Bleu Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 40k a week for four years is not going to set him up for life. He has a family. Private schools for 14 years. I'm sure he would like a holiday home in the med and the states. whoever thinks 80k a year for the rest of your life when you are now used to a million or more is living in cloud cuckoo land. he can demand a four year deal yielding 16 mill. (80 k /week) Whether we can commit to that remains unknown. I have a feeling we may not want to. Three years, perhaps. he is a professional and he really does love playing every week. But he can look at a long list of players whose career was cut short by injury. He has to make the right decision for his family before himself. I weep for the man who can't get through life comfortably on £16,000,000.
Leicester_Numan Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 Spurs are a massive club....that hasn't won anything in living memory! You weren't alive when they beat us in the League Cup final in 99 then?
maddog Posted 3 December 2015 Posted 3 December 2015 Don't know if anyone else saw Jamie Vardy interview in his house on Premier League world. Anyway, he comes across as very honest and humble, and focused and he's loving playing for Leicester. He is going nowhere, unless our owners decide to accept a ludicrously high offer. Whether Vardy leaves will come down to our owners, he is loving it here and that really comes across in the premier league world interview in a very endearing manner. He doesn't speak like a robot/fake liar like Delph and Sterling did at Villa and Liverpool respectively before their moves.
