Could Vardy play in a front three for England?

He has to be one of the best strikers, barring Lineker and Shearer, English football has had.

Shearer retired from international football at about 30 years of age Vardy came to the international scene far to late to be compared to shearer or lineker

Kane, Owen, Rooney possibly ,Sherringham, Wright, Fowler are all worth a mention.

 

southgate will pick Kane, Sterling Lingard and probably Alli as his starting front 4.  I just can’t see Vardy starting.  

 

Great finish today,  he can look so clinical at times

Greaves, Hurst, Keegan, Lofthouse, Lawton, Charlton, Beardsley, Hunt, Francis...... 

 

Come off it Wymeswold.

Just watch come the summer Kane, Sterling, Lingard and Ali will all be above Vardy in the pecking order. Then when we get beaten in the round after the group stages everyone will be moaning because we didn't utilise Vardy! 

His form in games when it matters or against big sides is sensational. He is the man for the big ocassions.

Blanchflower the Northern Irishman? Was not a striker anyway.

Anyway,what does Dyer bring to the party, not a lot from what I saw, except going backwards and sideways.  Englands Matty James.

Dier is like Andy King... but much worse!

[RumbleFox]

He genuinely is a clinical striker, the best I have ever seen at our club and he deserves his chance with England and so glad he scored.  It's such a fairytale too, I think sometimes we forget just how amazing his story is and I get the impression most non-Leicester fans like to see him do well for England.  I would love him to go to the World Cup and make an impact.  I was proper cheering when he scored last night, not felt like that during an England match for ages.  All we need now is for Albrighton to play and we're sorted.  X

Clearly I should have run that past uncle google first.  You're right, I think I was mixing him up with Lofthouse.  I'll edit that one out.

Jimmy Greaves scored 44 goals in only 57 appearances ... a rate of international scoring I think only

bettered by Gert Muller and Ferenc Puskas.

But he didn't have Alli "helping" him.

Ademir scored over a goal a game I think.

 

Vardy isn't going to start, Southgate will play Kane in front of a three.

He’s there because he’s versatile.......and play for Spurs, and yet he’s neither good enough in Midfield or defence to warrant a place.

[Ted Maul]

Delighted he got the goal, if only to shut his doubters up again (for a couple more weeks at least)

 

I was having a look through Twitter last night- Spurs fans absolutely hate him. It's almost as though they still aren't over not winning the title or something.

 

I never thought anyone would rival Walshy for my favourite player of all time, but Vardy is having a bloody good go at it.

I hate everything Spurs since the 1961 cup final, so they've a little catching up to do...

He who laughs last, and all that. We'll always have the title and it will always be at their expense.

[AlloverthefloorYesNdidi]

A clinical striker who is not shy of big games, doesnt bottle it ,  absolutely what we need in tournament football.  Will only play a bit part though most likely.

Didn't Arsenhole come 2nd though?

Yes. We lost to them twice, deliberately, so that they'd force Spurs into 3rd. Because it was in no way that Spurs bottled it and threw their toys out.

I remember the emotions of the day we lost to Arsenal and Spurs won at Man City.

 

That was the day I started believing we could win the title, not Man City away- my mind still refused to believe that it was going to happen after that, despite it being a monumental performance and away day.

 

Nope, it was the way we scrapped away with 10 men against Arsenal, denied them a shot on target for 70 minutes and the heartbreaking way we lost it that made me believe. The last time we suffered a devastating blow like that, this group came back far stronger and battered the Championship. I sat there in a foul mood after a few beers watching Spurs win via a proper dodgy handball, and I knew we had to do it. I couldn't stand one set of those arrogant North London cockwombles winning it, and that was the only alternative. It all rested on how we reacted, and bouncing back against Norwich after the international break...

 

I'm so glad we won it- the alternative doesn't bear thinking about. A lifetime of wondering what might have been, gloating Spurs/Arsenal fans, etc. etc. Grim.

80-1 for the Golden Boot in some places. Would only need 5-6 goals. Not inconceivable!

It’s not but Will be pretty difficult as 5-6 will probably be about all the minutes game time he gets a match

An injury to Kane, and those odds would come in massively.

It was Valentine's Day, I was in Manchester Airport, on my way to Dublin for my first holiday alone. It was too painful.

Oh I know they bottled it - they always do they always will. They came 3rd however. Runners up were Arsenhole. Makes it all the sweeter for me.
