inckley fox Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 After all he's said about staying, he can't blame some Lcfc fans for disliking him. I won't boo him if he moves, but I certainly won't be clapping. Seriously? The first City player in 30 years to score 20 goals in the top flight in a season, the guy who was key to us getting promoted and staying up in the first place, then was central to our club's greatest ever achievement? If that's not worthy of applause for the rest of the guy's life - and, yes, streets, lounges, statues in his name - then I don't know what is. I'm guessing you're just upset right now, and I'm sure you're a great fan of the club, but if you and others turned your backs on the guy just because he fancies an extra 50K a week at the last point in his career that he's likely to get it, after four (or, perhaps, three) years of being perhaps the most influential and important player ever to wear the shirt, then I don't think they'd be the actions of a good fan. Those who are blaming his wife are making themselves look even more absurd. I will love Vardy, Mahrez, Kante for the rest of my days, and they'd have to go a long way to make me ever feel even remotely bitter about the choices they made over the remainder of their careers.

The Doctor Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 Walsh the ex player knows f all. He's just a fan like the lot of us So just like the random yahoo on twitter everyone is taking as gospel? Genuinely embarrassing how much people are overreacting to a rumour where every "itk" seems to know something different (so far we've seen bid and deal done, bid but not agreed terms and interested but not bid, and not in the right order for the proper progression); and the abuse him and his missus are getting because some guy on Twitter said something is absolutely pathetic.
Guest Lcfc82 Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 So now we can't support England in the euros who are we supporting? Wales or Austria? Austria shirt is on order
dannythefox Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 Hope he fails the medical surly can't pass it with a broken hand
sdb Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 I am devastated. Of all our prized assets he was the one I had no worries over. Sounds like he's not even had to think twice...
inckley fox Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 Good post. True in regards to being a snake, not much difference between him and Delph last season. In fact maybe worse as he signed the contract and spoke of his respect of the club and less than a month ago spoke about not having his head turned. Unlike Delph last season, Vardy has just been key to our greatest ever achievement. That means a lot to people who stood with 8000 others on a wet January afternoon as Pleat's Leicester lost again to Blackburn Rovers. He's let nobody down, and if - in spite of the best intentions to stay - someone comes up with an incredible offer which does turn his head, then I don't think that makes him a snake. You can be disappointed, of course, you can disagree with his decision, but if you're a Leicester fan then it's a bit silly to start getting bitter about the club selling players to other clubs who are offering them more money and longer contracts. If we want to get into an argument about the morality of Vardy leaving, then certainly the fans who have abused his wife, called him a snake, threatened to boo him, or actually did boo him in his first year at the club, have done us few favours. He, on the other hand, helped give us the most wonderful moment of our lives. The fact that he said he wanted to stay and then, at some point, may have changed his mind doesn't change this.
Ric Flair Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 I am devastated. Of all our prized assets he was the one I had no worries over. Sounds like he's not even had to think twice... That's what makes it all the most astounding. I'm not naive enough to think footballers are loyal but this isn't your average transfer situation. I'm a mixture of livid and baffled.
sdb Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 I wonder if this is his ploy to get Roy to start him as a striker now? Would probably work to be fair.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 Hope he fails the medical surly can't pass it with a broken hand This is Arsenal we are talking about, he would pass it with two broken legs
Number 6 Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 There's a wider issue here that depresses me more than the actual transfer. It seemed like we had sparked others believing the elite could be beaten. And that it wouldn't take huge money to do so. Instead we have Vardy going to a side who haven't won the league since 04 and have fans on the manager's back. This and the shit Soton look like they'll go through again makes me think the so called big clubs can never truly be beaten. Just have to enjoy mixing with them whilst we can.
sdb Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 That's what makes it all the most astounding. I'm not naive enough to think footballers are loyal but this isn't your average transfer situation. I'm a mixture of livid and baffled. Yep
Brooksy Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 If a medical has been scheduled then surely Vardy himself has agreed to move. Disappointed in him tbh but at least we can slag his missus off on twitter a bit more
m4DD0gg Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 Whether he goes or stays, if you're abusing a club legend - and that's unquestionably what he is - you should reconsider why you even follow football. It's alright being annoyed I guess (although even that's a little premature) but to speak about him as if you hold him in contempt is just strange and wrong. It would take quite a lot for me to turn on a player who did this much for my club. This is a man who said only 3 weeks ago he was staying, while all the time its pretty damn obvious his agent has been touting him. That is what is going to piss people off.

chapero82 Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 I still can't see how going to Arsenal can make you any bigger? He has broke scoring records with us, won a premier league title with us who knows what we could win yet no loss than Arsenal can surely plus he won't be a big name in that team
Monk Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 If he goes I will be truly gutted but can't blame him - he has a tough choice to make - developing so late in his career he will be tempted by high wages without a doubt and by the prestige of playing for Arsenal. Can you imagine - for him doing such a thing would have been a ludicrous dream only 12 months ago. From the clubs point of view we need to milk this for all its worth and just try to keep the rest of the squad together. I could easily see Gray playing in the same setup instead of Vardy and us doing very well.
AS78UK Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 Stop panicking! He will stay, we will match Arsenals offer and he will stay. He is negotiating what is likely to be his final major contract. Unless in the meantime we manage to possibly him off through social media. He is critical to the team spirit/atmosphere, hence important to keep him as will have repercussions on the rest of the team.
inckley fox Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 This is a man who said only 3 weeks ago he was staying, while all the time its pretty damn obvious his agent has been touting him. That is what is going to piss people off. So? He said he was happy. Maybe he was, but maybe he's changed his mind and decided he'd be happier somewhere else. It doesn't change what he's achieved for the club we're supposed to be supporting.
Richmondfox Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 Seriously?

Those who are blaming his wife are making themselves look even more absurd. I will love Vardy, Mahrez, Kante for the rest of my days, and they'd have to go a long way to make me ever feel even remotely bitter about the choices they made over the remainder of their careers. I think it's upsetting/annoying as he declared he was staying at the club only a few weeks back in his press conference for his academy. Also it hurts as the guy is turning his back on this club after everything they have both done for each other and been through the last few seasons. We have won the league and have CL football next season, it just seems a waste of what they have have built together that he (allegedly) doesn't want to see it through. If he goes I couldn't care less about his career even after all he has done for us.

Delph was as much a part of Villa's side as Vardy has been to ours. Take the relevant successes of both ourselves and Villa out of it, but they're both key in their own right. Delph was their captain at the end of the day. If we're being completely objective, it's virtually the same. I have a huge respect and appreciation for Vardy, as I do for everyone who has contributed this season, make no mistake about that. If he goes he goes. Forfeits a pretty fair amount of my personal respect, maintains my appreciation. I think that's fair.
Sir Shep Posted 4 June 2016 Posted 4 June 2016 I'm still not convinced, it's all rumours spiralling out of control it seems. A statement from the club would be nice or are they all on holiday?
