Samilktray Posted 7 October 2016 Posted 7 October 2016 He's starting to sound like a bit of a bellend. Not the type of bellend like Diego Costa where he's a nob on the pitch but seems a nice guy off it. Just a bit of an all round bellend.

ajthefox Posted 7 October 2016 Posted 7 October 2016 How many people on here making derogatory comments about Vards have read/are reading the book? Curious to see how many people are judging him on his own words and how many are just following suit. Personally, a large part of me doesn't want to read it because I can only imagine him painting himself worse than what my current impression of him is.
Collymore Posted 7 October 2016 Posted 7 October 2016 He didn't like his cameo in my video. It's the source of the hate! https://vid.me/W1mq

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. Vardy is the bigger Leicester hero/legend, no doubt. But the difference is that Cambiasso is a football legend. Can the same be said about Vardy? Actually, probably to a minor degree with the record and helping "little Leicester" win the league. But that has been (so far) one season of achievements (well, one and a fourth, including the great escape). But Cambiasso did it for 10 years with Real and Inter, plus he managed participated in the greatest escape in PL history. Yes, we're all Leicester fans here, but we're allowed to be critical of Vardy for what was written about Esteban Cambiasso, who has done so much over the years, and who fvcking helped Leicester and Vardy stay in the Prem. Vardy should be grateful that Cambiasso "acted like a coach", etc.
MC Prussian Posted 7 October 2016 Posted 7 October 2016 Can we stop for a slip second and appreciate what Vardy did for us last season? Moving on, I find the divide in here quite fascinating. Because without the service from our other players and Pearson and Shakespeare (and a few other staff members), Vardy would've never reached the heights that he has done so far. It's a team game, after all. And that's what Leicester City 2015/16 should be remembered for, not (just) individuals. We all knew that at some point, he'd be issuing his own book, but the way he actually portrays himself (or fellow/former team members) makes me wonder whether success has gotten to his head a little bit. It's not as if he really needs more income through book sales when he's already on a very, very decent wage. I think it's bad timing and could potentially backfire on his career. For his own sake, I hope it doesn't.
stripeyfox Posted 7 October 2016 Author Posted 7 October 2016 Having finished the book, I found myself warming to Vardy. He's a decent guy. Yes, almost certainly a bellend as he himself admits (and I work with a guy who is married into Vardy's estranged family - who can testify to the fact he is a bit of a cock). But he gave everything for us and remains for me one of our greatest ever strikers. Just because he didn't get on with Cambiasso doesn't change anything. Read the book first before making your judgement on the guy!

It's one and a fvcking quarter you illiterate, ball-fondling twat basket.

If you prefer football legends then go and watch Manchester United. How can "we" be critical of Vardy for what he has written? We weren't in the dressing room, we weren't on the training pitch, we didn't share every day with the others players ffs. Cambiasso was part of the team that stayed up. That's all. He wasn't the manager. There were "rumours" that Roy Keane used to run the dressing room at Manchester United so are you going to take away the titles from Ferguson?
Koke Posted 8 October 2016 Posted 8 October 2016 I suspect there are others in the squad Vardy dislikes/hates. Cambiasso is gone so it's easy to slag him off. I won't be surprised years later if Vardy slags off certain members of this squad when everyone is gone and we start a new era. Vardy's IQ must be in the single digits.

MarkDeVirus Posted 8 October 2016 Posted 8 October 2016 Laughing my head off at the response Vardy's book is getting. Bloke was a massive part of the reason we somehow won the league. A few iffy games this season, and our fans are on his back slating him. Our fans really are the worst. Cambiasso did have a great impact behind the scenes, but was he really that great until the latter part of the season? Supporters speak like he was some messiah, he had one season with us? If he hadn't left, then we wouldn't have brought in Kante so...

The ones which said 'Geff' still counted
weller54 Posted 8 October 2016 Posted 8 October 2016 Let's be honest if Vardy played for another club (or had pissed off to Arsenal) he'd be absolutely hated on here!

I imagine this site is disproportionately represented with those of a strong opinion either way. vards still has the overwhelming support of the fan base and so he should.
Samilktray Posted 8 October 2016 Posted 8 October 2016 The fact he plays for us and won a premier league title with us doesn't stop him being a bit of a nob. What a weird logic.

4everfox Posted 8 October 2016 Posted 8 October 2016 I've read the book. Vardy didn't like Cambiasso and when Esteban accused him of never training, Vardy had a go at him. Ranieri's nickname for Vardy is w4nker, seriously. Vardy smashed a pint glass through a TV screen in his local pub when Lampard's goal against Germany was disallowed in South Africa and he doesn't like being approached by the fans who pay his wages for photos in his free time. He could make someone's day in just the 5 seconds it would take but instead spends those 5 seconds refusing. He laughed when were chanting"4-0, to the one man team" late last season against Swansea. All in all the bloke comes across as a bit of a turd, still love him though.

What a weird logic. It doesn't but some of the responses are laughable. People speak as if Cambiasso is some sort of messiah. He spent a season here and for 70% of that we were bottom of the league. Vardy is more of a hero than Cambiasso and always will be. Kante came in for Cambiasso and was literally three times what Cambiasso was here* *I am not comparing careers, I am comparing them while at Leicester.

MarkDeVirus Posted 8 October 2016 Posted 8 October 2016 I know Esteban is God to a lot of people on this forum, but Kante was 10x the player Cambiasso was for us.
