Jamie Vardy : From Nowhere - New book

Recommended Posts

Posted

Don't think I'll be buying this book.. Sounds trashy!.. 

Gordon Bank's auto biography was THE best book I've ever read... A true gent,  which Vardy will never be! 

Posted

Vardy's not the sort of bloke I'd want to spend time with. As a footballer I think he's fantastic and what he's given us for a million pounds is nothing short of sensational but away from the game his style doesn't appeal.

Posted

I think what him and all the other boys need to do is worry about their league performances while they're playing the game. Sell all the books and the bollocks once they're retired IMO.

No it didn't. We were still crap.

 

What saved our season was Cambiasso deciding to drop Konchesky and play Albrighton and Schlupp as wingbacks.

Yeah, but it didn't work until Cambiasso switched it to a back three. Signing Huth alone wasn't enough.

 

Just for clarity I'm +1ing the comments for the back three/Albrighton bits, not the conspiracy bits! :thumbup:

Give up already.

Give up? Give up on arguing against the myth that "Huth saved us"? Never.

 

We were not much better with just Huth replacing Was/Moore in a back four. Especially when Kasper was still out injured. And definitely when we had Konchesky as LB.

 

Kasper came back for that game against Spurs that we lost 4-3... And then West Ham. Konchesky dropped. 1-1 at HT, Albrighton comes into the team and helps us win it. Then West Brom and the 3-4-1-2... So yes, Huth was needed to play 3 at the back, he was a key part of the great escape, but it was a team effort. Kasper post-injury was another key piece, and Albrighton was the final piece of the puzzle that made the whole thing click... It wasn't Huth that saved us. It was Albrighton Cambiasso.

Fair enough lol

Cambiasso has won more trophies than Vardy could win on FIFA. The chavy bellend should learn to show some respect. I doubt reasonable decent men like Morgan and Ulloa hated Cambiasso. I don't believe that for a moment.

Cambiasso was my favourite player that season. The man is quick thinking footballing elegance. Many others weren't on his wavelength. When Vardy has had as many successful seasons as him, he'll have earned the right to have a go. Already he's down a level on last season.

This.

 

Vardy has had one amazing season in the top flight. Sure, if he didn't have to come "From Nowhere", maybe he'd have had more, but he hasn't, Cambiasso has had many.

And Vardy probably wouldn't even have been playing in the Prem last season if it wasn't for Cambiasso keeping us up.

 

As for "formations accommodating Cambiasso", Vardy's still probably not happy being played LW so many times under Pearson. I doubt Vardy would want to criticize Pearson or even understand it was Pearon's fault, not Cambiclasso's. After all, it was Cambiasso's plan that had him playing in a front 2 with Ulloa and with Nugent/Mahrez in the hole behind. Or maybe he wasn't happy that Drinky was on the sidelines, learning from Cambiasso.

Crikey, Vardy getting some stick on this thread. I wonder if he'd be receiving as much grief about the book if he'd scored 10 goals already this season? He has a couple of iffy games recently and suddenly everyone thinks he's a disrespectful chavvy bellend. He scores a hat trick in the next game and suddenly we all love him again. Fickle fvckers :rolleyes:

Tbh can imagine Vardy saying and wanting more controversial comments in this book, but author didn't put in in case someone explodes.

Posted

Hmmmm success going to Vardy's head it seems.

 

I can't thank him enough for last season but the way he's represented himself since the summer, of it being revealed he/his agent quite obviously put a release clause in his contract to play us against other clubs to get a bigger contract and/or engineer a big pay day move, I can't fault him too much for that but I do fault him for is dragging that saga out for not only Arsenal but more importantly ourselves, then snippets of his comments in his book, added with below par performances and questions remaining to be answered over his work rate since his big pay day, perhaps the word villain is abit harsh but he's certainly rubbing people up the wrong way and people will quite easily get on his back without hesitation. He needs to be took to one side and have a talking to, sort himself out.

Nobody will buy them by that point though. If Vardy has a bad season then everyone but Leicester fans will stop caring.

He's a professional footballer not George feckin Orwell. Seriously what do you expect, Can't believe the slagging off Vardy is getting. I know he's been off the pace so far this season but FFS he was on fire last season for the team that won the league at 5000-1. Our team.

My view expressed in here is nothing to do with form.

 

I still like vardy as a player, I'm commenting on his I'll timed book and disrespectful comments about a top player.

How exactly is it ill timed?

 

Hilarious reaction from most on here, he is hardly going to sit on the fence when selling a book. I recon he has earnt his right to earn some more money and as fans of Leicester city he owes us nothing.

Vardy is the one slagging off a top pro. Silly of us to expect an ounce of respect from someone who'd have been a Jeremy Kyle regular if he wasn't a professional footballer.

Wtf with some of these replies. Vardy delivered our top flight title (part of our team) and broke an unbelievable Premier League record.

 

Yes Cambiasso was a great great player, and loved him here, but Vardy was part of the team that won us that first league title. Vardy is the bigger hero with ease.

Don't buy it. Stick to Doskoievsky.

It's the way he comes across, quite arrogant and rude to others success, that has got some people's heads turned about him - not his own ability.

Just goes to show how much respect the fanbase has for not only what Cambiasso did but the way he seemed to be as a person that the strength of feeling is so much behind him and not our England international centre forward who has just shot us to an absolutely unprecedented league title.

casinogate, book, film, copyright on "chat sh1t ,get banged", skittle vodka's, red bull etc, reported to be moving house  all and sundry know whereabouts he lives (who's fault could that possibly be?)..........I'd prefer it if he just got on with playing football the way we know he's capable of (as he's being paid a fortune to do) and left all this sort of crap 'till his twilight years, it seems (to me) we're paying the cost of these distractions now.
