Vardy

[StriderHiryu]

Give him the contract! I only want to see Vardy leave for either the USA or for one last season at his boyhood club Wednesday before he calls it a day. He is too important to us and criminally underrated. He's not just a speed machine, the guy has brilliant positional awareness, plays others in, and is a fox in the box. I'd be surprised if we ever see someone as good as him play for us as a 9 again.

 

He is a legend to all of us at the club, and pretty much everyone's favourite player for his attitude on the pitch. It's been very negative on here recently, and all I can say is that without JV, we would be in an even worse position!

Are you suggesting we scrap Vardy for Slimani?

No I’m saying  not sure he said be given a 50k payrise unless a concrete offer actually comes in for him

Yes without him the club might not have survived the administration 

[Stadt]

Our whole story over the past few years has been ridiculous and occasionally when you pause to think it's only made even more ridiculous by the fact it was a former factory worker that inspired it. Of all the clubs in the world, across premier league history it was us that got to witness it, lucky bastards.

[Dan LCFC]

Why would he want that when he can play in front of Everton's deluded fans?

I really really hope you aren’t John Rudkin but that sounds like the type of thing he would say.

Bit of an overreaction?

Seems a bit unnecessary, but we do love throwing our money away

It’s not unnecessary it’s actually imperative - Club’s are circling and he will easily be offered the same money elsewhere. Whilst replacing a 15 to 20 goal a season striker is near on impossible plus the impact he has around the club/dressing room is critical to our success...

That doesn’t make him better ffs  

 

so if we signed messi and he scored 50 goals a season for three seasons but won nothing , Vardys a better player because he won the premier league.

Who are these clubs? I can't see any team in the top 6 needing him.

 

He's contracted for another 2 seasons, that should be just about right.

Hang on, in one breath people are saying "Get rid of the title winning players, they've got too much player power" and in the next people are saying this.

 

Can't have it both ways.

 

I think this has been done because if a club comes in for Vardy he'll want out, he's being suffocated in this style, having to work even harder than he already did, playing everywhere except where he is supposed to, I can't actually understand how he's still scoring in this style, shows how good his conversion rate is I guess, fair play him, it's frustrating to watch so he must be even more frustrated about lack of attacking threat and chances though.

I think he will go this summer if a club like Manchester United bid for him.

[Suzie the Fox]

I really would be devo'd if he left the club. My hope is he becomes the Peter Crouch of Leicester and in another 6 years is still playing for us and coming on scoring goals as an impact sub. 

 

Riyad is going and it will be a disappointment, but if i had the choice i would choose Vardy over Riyad everyday of the week. 

[Sir Shep]

I don’t think Vardy will have a particularly good World Cup (through no fault of his own) so I would imagine that other clubs will be looking at other strikers in the summer. I’m pretty certain he’ll be here next season.

I already posted this elsewhere according to premier league stats he touches the ball 22 times a game on average 

absolutely astonishing how he’s managed to score as many as he has this season

He's scoring more than he did last season. Maybe this style isnt so bad for him. Evidenced by his goal return, which is very respectable

 

He's had much worse patches under our old style. The problem is the team not defending well enough to make his goals count

Whats astonishing or hard to understand?

 

Hes a poacher/on the shoulder type forward. Some of his touches are running to close down opposition players but mostly, he relies on service and the chances he scores from are close range one touch finishes. Hence the low amount of touches on the ball.

 

Hes not a forward that will come deep and involve himself in the buildup much, although he has done this more under Puel. Thats one of the main reasons its important for us to try and find a creative number 10 who can open things up more.

 

When he is given a chance, he is usually given a very good chance. Everton home, Newcastle home, Brighton away, Burnley away, the penalties he has scored just as a few off the top of my head.

Answered your own question.

 

Sideways, sideways, backwards, sideways, backwards.

 

Service is lacking, that's what I find amazing, surprising and astonishing about his current form, not putting words into @jammie82uk mouth but I assume he has the same or a similar opinion.

Talking of crouch, I would take him off stoke when they go down.

great option off the bench.

Well, no it isnt lacking, because as ive said above, he still gets a number of extremely good chances made for him, hence lots of close range finishes and one touch finishes, meaning his total number of touches are low.

 

The quality of the chance he receives at the end of the move is why he has the highest conversion rate in the league.

 

What he has to provide is off the ball movement, intelligent runs, drawing defenders away, appreciation of space, anticipation of putting himself in the right positions to play in the position and role he does, not having lots of touches on the ball.

And then you’ve got the hassle and worry about him leaving. I say, tie your best players down with decent contracts that makes them want to stay at the club

Yeah he can't leave unless he goes and rocks up playing part time for Las Palmas or Mallorca or something doing beach tours on his days off.
