Wow Nige! Unreal from him signing and sticking with Vardy. He owes him so much. 

I can't believe the Mercury was 40p 12 years ago , thats about £300 in today's money 🤣

[Mendi]

Took his goal well.

Just saw this photo on facebook. Understatement of the century.

Legend! 

 

Vardy ain't bad either 

[HybridFox]

Missed a sitter but took his goal well. Clinical 

[South Shire Fox]

Absolute howler for his miss but great finish for the goal. Start him against Leeds with Cannon off the bench

Clinical would have been finishing both surely

Daka has 7 goals in 726 minutes so should be in first place with 0.87 goals per 90.

True.

Still, I’d be starting Vardy on Friday.

It was below his standards for sure and I was expecting the net to ripple, but I don’t think it was a howler. I was in line with the cross and the ball looked to be ever so slightly behind him so had to adjust and couldn’t get a clean connection. And the defender had his foot in, but yes he should have scored.

He was 6 yards from goal with the ball on the floor, it was definitely a howler. Id say it was harder to put it over the bar from there then score

But can he still outwit premiership defences. He’s lost his speed. 

Yesterday's  goal suggests he hasn't lost his speed certainly  not over 10 yards

I think he reserves his energy more now. 
 

He doesn’t press so aggressively like he once did. However, like you say, he’s still a nightmare for defenders in those situations like yesterday.

The massive elephant in the room, is would you give him a new contract?

No massive elephant we offer him in a deal…..stupid if we don’t ! - terms should be different but he’s still our best striker!

[Kinowe Soorie]

Great player, showed he still has some decent pace with his finish yesterday.

2nd/3rd choice striker in the PL is likely still worth at least 50k pw? Particularly a "free transfer" with no signing on fee

[ithuriel]

I'd still give him a year by year as I still rate him a better striker at his age than Nacho or Daka.

10 more years! 

 

We will never been the same without him when he retires or leaves 

[lcfc sheff]

He’s relentless. No question we should offer him a new deal, his story isn’t finished here yet

[HybridFox]

How long is our saviour out for?

[foxfanazer]

Continues to make his doubters on here look foolish. The fact that we're still so reliant on a 37 year old speaks volumes about him but also about the likes of Daka and Nacho

[Stevosevic]

He’s the best striker in the division. Still

Considering I thought we should’ve chopped him a couple of seasons back, yes - 12 months on reduced terms or pay as you play.

Before the start of the season I said here he might score 17-20 this season and there were many doubting this. Not far off. This guy is a world class scoring machine, one of the best hard working all time strikers. 

Imo he should have an honourable new contract as a legend and his shirt displayed in the stadium next to our PL winners and FA Cup winners trophies. The US way, like they do it in NBA, MLB and NHL.
