Got to pay his wife’s court costs somehow. 

he would have paid that with the change down the back of the sofa! 

 

Vardy's been on about 120k basic wage for about the past 10 years. 

 

He has probably come close to earning 100m in the past 10 years.

Games like today really hammer home… what the f are we going to do when he’s gone?!? 
 

he’s carried this club for a decade, at 37 he’s the only one who had any hunger about them in a relegation 6 pointer. I just can’t fathom life as a fan without him

On my planet, I saw Vardy miss FOUR clear-cut chances yesterday which cost us any chance of claiming anything (even a goal) from yesterday's shambles.

 

If Daka or Ayew had had a game like that, the lynch mobs who still lurk on here would not have let them (or us) forget it.

 

It's not just a one-off occurrence, either.  In the previous fixture, Vardy spent the hour he was on the pitch in the pocket of the mediocre mid-table plodder Dan Burn.

 

While he can still provide glimpses of the old magic, as he did to save the Brighton and Spurs games (2 games out of 16), the reality is we need far more than he can give us to survive this particular relegation dogfight.

 

Sadly, neither the club hierarchy nor the fanbase seem ready to recognise that.

 

Instead, they (we?) seem ready to indulge him through another relegation, and maybe even one after that?..

Different interpretation I guess. Everyone misses chances Vardy less than most. 
 

What I saw was the only player with the right attitude and really giving their all. Can’t remember watching anyone else actually sprint

Could you explain the 4 clear cut chances to me please.

Apparently his wife wants to move to the States at some point, whilst this Netflix thing started quite a while ago.

 

The club have already sent a few scouts for a young striker with potential within Europe.

He has 6 goals 3 assists already this season. At the start of the season we would have been happy to have a striker reach double digit goals and it looks like he's going to do that.

 

Our fans would be wanking themselves silly if we signed a young striker like Liam Delap or Evan Ferguson but Vardy, even in his old age, is still better than the both of them.

I agree.

 

we all love when he does contribute so we can say, "still got it"  "mans a god"

 

Shouldnt be starting for us but fact is we are a train wreck off the pitch and he is still our best striker:vardy:

I agree but not in the way you meant it. He's still too good to be playing for relegation candidate Leicester City.

 

There's a weird section of our fanbase who keep trying to write him off at every opportunity, it's been happening for years. It's like a fat, smelly, ugly bloke trying to tell his super model girlfriend that he's too good for her, then when she finally leaves him he cant find anyone half as good.

 

He still has the same goals assists as Solanke who plays for Spurs alongside better players and cost £60mil.

 

He has more goals and assists than Evanilson who cost Bournemouth £60mil. (And plays with better players)

 

More goals and assists than Liam Delap who our fans are crazy for.

those teams can afford Solanke and Evanilson performing poorly cos like you said.................better players

 

We are relegation candidates and he plays regularly so what does that say?

 

theres a weird section of our fanbase who take offense when the goat is criticised.

Solanke and Evanilson are having good seasons though and are both playing regularly. Vardy is also having an excellent season considering the circumstances he's in.

 

There is simply no criticism that makes sense because he's actually done well for us so far this season. No other striker would get criticism from our fans for 6 goals and 3 assists at this point in the season. It's just because he set the standard so high.

I love him, and I don’t want anything said bad about him but relying on a 37/38 year old striker as our main hope for goals to keep us up this season was always going to be a recipe for disaster.
