Jamie Vardy Appreciation

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. 

We should do absolutely everything we can to honour this man. The greatest player to wear the shirt

I’d absolutely give him a new deal, but it does have to be on considerably lower wages. He’s still good enough, for me, but we don’t have the ability to pay £100k a week anymore. £50k tops.

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

There were a lot of people who were excited about taking £7m from West brom at the end of the season we just survived, just before he broke the consecutive goals record and we won the league....

I’d long held that we should have cashed in as he approached 35 and replaced him with a younger player with quality…but he just won’t stop proving me wrong.

We have to be a club with ethos, principles and respect to all those who were committed to the team. We've made a massive mistake with Kasper. Both Vardy and Albrighton should be treated the best way possible. I don't think these 2 are greedy. An honourable new contract with lower decent wages and some more involvement in different positions within the team will do the job.

I would too, but I'm just wondering how much the possible points deduction might make it look like potentially going out on a downer with a relegation rather than going now with hopefully a promotion.

We won't get any points deduction in PL but if we do there will be a lot other teams getting the same. The timing of these "news" says it all and it's not a coincidence: Bad officiating the last few weeks? Tick. Sky and TalkSport suddenly building hype with their coverage of EFL? Tick. Do they think we're stupid? 

[FoxinNotts]

Build the statute 

[Joe90lcfc]

Without his goals we wouldn’t be in the top 2, if we get promoted we have done with vardy in the side which is shocking we have STILL have to rely on the 37 year old, he deserves a 1 year extension obviously on lower wages (what we can afford) but I think he can still score big goals in the prem!! Sign him up

[cruzFOX]

Flippin heck vards is literally grabbing this team by the scruff of the neck and dragging us over the promotion line.

we are still missing chances but vards is putting his in when we desperately need it. 
if that’s not leadership at his age no one should be walking out there or not putting a tackle and legging it to stop a pass, block a shot, scoring a sitter. I see too many looking knackered out there. Vardy is expressing like how we are all feeling. Get the f*** job done lads!

[DoveValleyFox]

I sat amongst the Hull fans today. I loved how parents were pointing out Vards to their kids. He inspired a mix of fear and obvious respect from them. I was in the upper tier and there was none of the venom he gets from fans behind the goal.

I was a little surprised at how amused people around me were when our fans gave it the ' Jamie Vardy, he's won more than you' response to the 'grass' crap.

He has got to teach Tom Cannon a few intricacies of his game because Cannon is the future

[Dickov22]

A freak of nature. God I love him. 

[Koke]

Look at these stats. A 37 year old veteran is by far the best striker in the league. Adam Armstrong with 18 and 11 us impressive but he's played 10 more games than Vardy. Absolute 🐐 

 

[Fox92]

37 and still our best striker.

[Corky]

It feels like he hasn't played that much but will probably finish with at least 20 goals.

[Noahfence]

He’s going to get 20 goals isn’t he? 

[Gamble92]

Slightly off topic but why did they just randomly remove Gary Lineker's name from the Family Stand? Hardly a glowing tribute. Wouldn't put it past them to name a stand after Vardy and replace it with Pukka Pies a few years later.

[Collymore]

I'd happily take a 10 point deduction simply just for him to be employed by the club next season.

 

He's just an absolute icon. 

 

 

[Ecdysiast]

My favourite ultra-talented, horrible ****er ever. Talented, nasty and tries his heart out. Our GOAT

Good to see Iva Hardie doing well for Plymouth

What more can you say really. Born winner.

Few years back now I think.

He tweeted something critical about king power.
