IOWFOX Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 So he either stays and becomes an all time legend at this club or he leaves and this time next year he'll be the next rickie lambert. Over to you vards.
azzathehack Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Don't get me wrong, I'd be heart-broken if Vardy left but hanging onto Kante/Mahrez is far more important as they are one-offs and finding direct replacements would be virtually impossible for a club of our size. The way we set-up, it would be easier to replace Vardy with another speed-merchant. That said, I think the story is BS. I work in the industry and you can any time a reporter writes "I understand" you can translate as "I don't really know". The advent of Twitter and the spotlight on individuals it provides means that it's not just the ITKs you have to watch; reporters from supposedly reputable publications are not that different. It's a highly competitive game and they're under constant pressure to appear more informed on each and every story than they actually are. Don't worry; he's staying.
Sniffer Clark Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 £20m for a 30 year old next birthday is a good deal,and he could end up like Walcott
Koke Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 We're basically Southampton from a couple of seasons ago! Didn't do them any harm we just need to replace people wisely. Plus we won the league so who cares! If they can build a new side twice after being raided then so can we. And they just lost their manager again.

st albans fox Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Guys, put yourself in his shoes. We are prepared to pay him 80k a week and he is worth 100+. Without a release clause he is stuck here unless we are prepared to sell him. And that will be a sizeable fee. So we make the money having paid him less than the going rate. The lowish release clause means he gets the extra dosh in the form of a big signing on fee. It's a trade off. the club can insist on a higher release clause if they agree to pay him a higher wage. it's business.
dylanlegend Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Agree with you pal. I'm super bored of it. I support Leicester City FC. Not Jamie Vardy. We've sold players to big clubs before. We sold Smudger to Arsenal. We sold Heskey to Liverpool. If he leave a then thank you for your service and good luck. Vardy doesn't support Leicester. He's out for himself. Yeah he said he was happy here. What else was he supposed to say? That he's unhappy? Some people in our fan base are really something else. If we finished 10th it would be understandable, but we are champions of England. Heskey / smith were one off players. Vardy / Kante / Mahrez are champions. If we sell him its the beginning of the end.
Filbert_Ross Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Everyone was laughing at West Ham after him for 25mill. What's changed now? All of a sudden some release clause?
st albans fox Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Everyone was laughing at West Ham after him for 25mill. What's changed now? All of a sudden some release clause? It was reported that his release clause of 20 ish mill was to a CL club. West Ham and others would have to bid more than the supposed release fee and we wouldn't accept it cos we wouldn't have to. We have no option if the release clause is met. Then it's up to JV.
stevelcfc Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 If he does go I trust Walsh will find an excellent replacement, in fact I'm sure he already has a few in mind given his age. If we can get Musa accross the line then there's one option. I'd be gutted if he went but lets not pretend like its the end of the world, that will only be the case if Kante goes.
azzathehack Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Not reading the 2nd paragraph after this. Clueless. Why do you think it would be easier to replace Mahrez or Kante than Vardy?
CosbehFox Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 It's an odd un cos the way Arsenal play wouldn't suit at all
Kitchandro Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Imagine if he did leave, we'd have won the league and wouldn't have one player in the England squad
dylanlegend Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 If they can build a new side twice after being raided then so can we. And they just lost their manager again. You're talking shite mate. Soton had top class players (Lambert / Lallana / Schnid). Vardy / Kante / Mahrez are world class, all irreplaceable. If we sell them now we will never again reach the heights of this season. If we sell instead of build we are fcuked.
Les-TA-Jon Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Can't believe what I'm reading in this thread. So many being quite flippant about losing him. And many others saying "it's a good deal for a 29 year old" What!? It's not about the money anymore! All PL clubs are minted.
Jimothy Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Could be why we're supposedly chasing Musa We need new and improved options up front anyway even if Vardy stays.
Kitchandro Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Why do you think it would be easier to replace Mahrez or Kante than Vardy? The way we set up, it would be impossible to replace Vardy. Have you seriously watched us all season and think we could just replace him with a 'speed merchant'? You're right let's just chuck Schlupp up front.
spudfox2911 Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 Could be why we're supposedly chasing Musa We've been scouting the lad for over a year now and tried to sign him in Jan. Already a target so don't think it should be a factor. Don't know though.
1972 Fox Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if his head was turned. The Hello magazine wedding and the new Wag in his ear might make him forget what it was that made him successful. At the end of the day, no one is bigger than the club and every player will leave at some point. If he goes, all that matters is who replaces him. This. The whole wedding thing, WAG thing, family disputes, blocking the lookalike on twitter, half naked pictures of her in the papers, etc, etc. She is quite capable of ruining him. I hope he is strong enough to wear the trousers but I'm not too hopeful. If he's letting her influence his football decisions then he's on the slippery slope. If this is the case we would be better off cashing in and signing a quality replacement.
sdb Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 I think he's smart enough to know he should stay. Would be devastating to lose him, but a real statement were he to stay.
Guest Col city fan Posted 3 June 2016 Posted 3 June 2016 At the end of the day......it gets dark. Not if you live in fookin Iceland it don't. .. Seriously, who goes on Twitter to just abuse people? I'm never come to terms with the general wallyness of others.
