That probably didn't seem as 'value' at that time. Nice name calling over a difference of opinion on, believe it or not, a football forum designed to debate footballing matters. Griezmann was young and less of a risk as he was already performing in that league where as Vardy will be close to 31 if he did go having never played outside of England. Van Persie fits the same description of being less of a risk. Are Atletico really a team that takes them sort of gambles? That was my point, no need for the abuse.

I actually think he would fit right in with Spanish culture. He's a bit brighter than most give him credit for. Would fit perfectly with them and Vardy's instagram post after the Atleti away game told you he enjoyed the occasion. They are about the only club I could see prising him away but they don't have the money to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 11 May 2017 Share Posted 11 May 2017 From Vardys point of view this could be the best possible move for him.... however I don't think Simone and the Atletico fans will be so forgiving if( when) he goes through a dry patch and I can't see him recovering when he does. If he goes ( and I really hope not) then he'll be back in 12 months.. Brings another angle as to why Simone was so complimentary to us after the game- to soften us up for a bid!

I believe they would as long as he keeps working his ass off. Torres is a local boy, so he gets a bit of a pass, but there are plenty of games where he leave it all for Griezmann to do. Yesterday I was telling the Atleti folks I was with that Vardy would have been perfect out there during the second half, and they couldn't agree more.

Basildon Fox Posted 11 May 2017 Share Posted 11 May 2017 People on here acting like Athletico are Kings of the world. Most of their players will be on less than ours as outside of the top 2 in Spain the money does not filter down to the clubs. I doubt they are going to pay 20+ million for a soon to be 31 year old striker and give him £100k a week for 3 years. Get a grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they don't have the tv money we have in England doesn't mean the standard of players over there is much less... Especially for Atletico who are a top ranked European side let alone a top ranked Spanish side. He could argue he'd be playing with a higher standard of player.. They can offer him champions league football and we cant for next season. and they'll probably be in it the season after as well. Plenty of reasons to go there other than just money....

Basildon Fox Posted 11 May 2017 Share Posted 11 May 2017 Will never happen. I did not say the standard was worse over there. Read what I wrote. They do not have the money to spunk on a soon to be 31 year old strikers transfer fee and offer him a 3 year contract for 100k per week. Perhaps you think Vardy will uproot his family and move to different country for half of what he is on now. I doubt that very much myself...

I was listing reasons as to why he might want to go and in fact ended my post with " Plenty of reasons to go there other than just money.... " And as for them not being able to afford him.... how can you be so sure? plenty of money around if you are in the champions league latter stages for several years in a row...

Im sure they can afford it if they choose to invest plus griezman likely to leave, but they have some of the best history of scouting up and coming forwards as opposed to older players. I guess it depends on how much he impressed DS, Godin was quoted as saying vardy would get in their team that included Griezman.

brucey Posted 11 May 2017 Share Posted 11 May 2017 No chance. Him and his missus are both clearly enjoying their new rural farm life. He looks very happy doing DIY and playing with pet chickens in the new customised mansion that he moved into just a few months ago. He's also got about 6 young kids + stepkids which is a lot of uprooting to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankieADZ Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 i cant imagine that Atletico will sign him, guess the papers are using the quotes Simeone said when we played them to make something I thought Atletico were going in for Lacazette from Lyon tbh, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 12 May 2017 Share Posted 12 May 2017 If they came in I'd be gutted, but he would go with my blessing. It would be another fascinating chapter in the Vardy story and I'd love to see how he got on. I wouldn't begrudge him the adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
