Choppalcfc Posted 20 May 2018 Posted 20 May 2018 really hope he doesn't go at the same time hes gonna be 32 soon, will he be as effective in 2 years or so? not too sure, love him but if offered enough we should cash in.

It sounds like a house of cards at the KP right now, if I’m interpreting your messages correctly? CP is on a knife-edge; if he stays Vards wants to leave. The owners don’t want that. So their option is to get rid of CP instead, but only if someone better becomes available. Rudders doesn’t want that as that makes him extremely vulnerable, so they are considering throwing Vardy under the bus to save their own skins ? Meanwhile, the owners continue to outwardly support a manager they are thinking of sacrificing?? What have I missed?? Sorry I couldn’t get any more cliches into all that - I'm at sixes and sevens right now ! 3
Leicesterpool Posted 20 May 2018 Posted 20 May 2018 (edited) Personally I think it'll come down to the factor of the relationship between Puel and Vardy. Even though Vardy's been Puel's top scorer I don't think he's Puel type player. Puel may want younger and someone who'll fit into his style of play. Jamie isn't the type of player that can change his style of play easy as we see sometimes for England. Edited 20 May 2018 by Leicesterpool

Matt Posted 20 May 2018 Posted 20 May 2018 (edited) Well people claim our style needed to change. Vardy was crucial to that style and won’t work aswell playing a slow build up working off scraps. To coin a phrase commonly used when talking about Mahrez in past windows, you’ll miss him (it - the style) when’s he’s/it’s gone. I suppose it has already gone though hasn’t it. I was worried he’d leave based on the style change. Hopefully I’m wrong. Edited 20 May 2018 by Matt

So that when faced with negative 11 men behind the ball teams, we are more comfortable with the ball and more comfortable in attempting to break them down.
Babylon Posted 20 May 2018 Posted 20 May 2018 Athletico aren't bidding over £20m for a bloke who will be 32 in January, and we aren't selling him for under that. 1
UPinCarolina Posted 20 May 2018 Posted 20 May 2018 Would be completely shook by his departure, but not angered. Leicester will always see him as one of their own, and Vardy will always be a legend. 1

Stop being so sensible, everyone is losing their mind over rumours designed to make them lose their minds. The people who do this must laugh at people like football fans.

ARTY_FOX Posted 20 May 2018 Posted 20 May 2018 (edited) The last I heard from my admittedly limited info was that Vardy had spoken to puel about trying to play forward faster. That was before we played arsenal, so whilst this individual isn't the most reliable person I get things from he isn't exactly unreliable either. I'm inclined to believe it after the arsenal and spurs performances though. Suggests they have a pretty good relationship if so. Edited 20 May 2018 by ARTY_FOX 2

Old Fox Posted 20 May 2018 Posted 20 May 2018 Look at the source - The Mirror and be aware that they are an agents dream as they play the tunes that agents want! I believe this is all part of his agent negotiating a new deal - no way will our owners let more than one of our key players go without a ridiculous offer and hence they would demand £50m+ for Vardy as he is irreplaceable especially if Riyad leaves. I expect them to fight to keep Ndidi, Maguire, Schmeichel and Vardy should there be any interest and by no means is it certain that Riyad will go! 1

That's the crux of it. £20m doesn't buy you much these days, there's as much chance of a miss as there is a hit. No chance will we be letting a striker who has had two 20 goal seasons in the last three seasons for what is relative pocket change nowadays. Bottom line it's very difficult to see middle ground between Leicester's valuation and the buying clubs for a striker who is 32 in January and his main asset is pace.

It is still an asset but I'd say his main strengths now are the timing of his runs and his finishing. His all-round game has improved massively. 5
dooflip Posted 20 May 2018 Posted 20 May 2018 I personally would let him go. love him as a player and he’s been amazing for us, and he’s huge in our game. but there’s no denying he’s one of the bad eggs with a bad attitude - part of the group who went to the board about Claudio, and probably key to why the players decide to stop playing for managers. So for that reason I’ll take the money and wish him all the best.

Well there will be money in the bank, so bringing someone else in would be an option. Though Ian looks to be getting better, and I think as the main man he could do well. im of a different opinion than most I think, I want a huge clearout and rebuild job and will be patient in that, and being satisfied with survival next season if we clear out a lot of player, use some of the academy lads in the squad etc.
David Hankey Posted 20 May 2018 Posted 20 May 2018 I agree a massive clearout is required as we have too many who have no figured in this seasons campaign. Offload all those who have been out on loan for a start but as things stand we have to keep Vardy.

Too much player power and vardy is definitely part of that. having said that I do ****ing love him, him and mahrez are the best Leicester players I will ever see in my lifetime. but we need to move forward.
