Jamie Vardy Appreciation

[STUHILL]

That finish was a lot tidier than it first looked. Prime Vardy! 

Totally torn whether he should finish his career with us on a high like a Promotion OR do we give him 12 months more in what will be a very difficult season if we go up and have points deducted. I'd love him to stay and keep us up but it could easily go the other way too and he'd be finishing his time with us on a sour note. 

 I have a feeling Enzo will want to keep him

Vardy on his bike remains one of the great sights in world football

His last PL season tells you everything you need to know. I think the club would rather put that salary to other uses. If there was a deal, I think we’d have heard about it by now. 
 

So happy to have got this season from him. That goal today was a delight.

Vintage Vardy. He played on the shoulder of the last defender as opposed to coming deep. He has tried to play the link up game that Enzo demands, but when he goes back to his natural game, he's still an unbelievable player.

his finishing went awol but he was getting in the right spots. let's not forget he had his wife ****ing his head up with that court case that cost him millions.

He runs like a 20 year old. His goal was vintage JV. His assist for Fatawu's hatrick was just pure unselfish class. He deserves everything and anything this club gives him, for what he has given to this club, because he gives everything.

What an absolute legend this guy is. It’s just unheard of.

Ive wrote god knows how many messages regarding Vards but just want to say what a pleasure he’s been to watch from almost start to finish.

Even as his biggest fan, I didn’t expect much this season from him, being as he’s 37 and was on the bench for a majority of the first half of the season. This as well as an injury keeping him out for 10ish games meant really his impact should be halted, however 16 goals and the best goal to game ratio in the championship at 37 is just simply once again a huge contribution. If he played the entire season he would be on 38 goals which being way past his prime is staggering really, still head and shoulders so far above this level.

 

Not only this, he’s stood up in the business end of the season, big moments, big games, huge players stand up..he has.
Cruising all season but then 3 losses, Under huge pressure first time of the season going away to Sunderland and Hull. Scores huge winner at Sunderland then 2 to get huge point at Hull. Then we bottle it again when he doesn’t start away to 2 awful teams millwall and Plymouth so comes back in vs the 2 best teams aside from the title race triplet and scores in both games and huge performances in both.

Sums his entire career up in a nutshell, he’s not only world class but he rarely ‘stat peddles’, always scores in big games and big moments and produces his best when it’s most key.

Pure big game player.

 

I can’t speak highly enough of the lad, absolute privilege to watch him play for us for so long. A prem legend, a Leicester legend and undoubtedly one of the best strikers this country has produced and the sad thing is, had he been born on the red carpet and not been stupidly let go it could of been so much more, he’s really that good.

 

If any young kid or player coming through the ranks as a number 9 who wants to reach the top, just study that 4th goal tonight. The movement, the timing, the football IQ, the finish..absolutely world class.

 

I will miss you Vards..WE will miss you Vards.

Him to us, is Kenny dalglish to Liverpool, we should give him the respect he deserves. A Statue outside and The new East Stand named after him, nothing less will suffice.

The 🐐.

2 more seasons, one for the great escape after starting on negative points, and one for the repeat…

[CrazyKopCorner]

Absolutely awesome. His appetite for the game is insatiable 

[dannythefox]

No chance he’ll walk away after bagging nearly 20 goals this season. He’ll have to agree a new reduced package though, same as all of them really. Hopefully Vesty leaves we really don’t need to be giving him a new deal.

[ftfagos]

His technical ability is absolutely sensational. His goal last night, over the shoulder goal against WBA, backheel against Germany, Liverpool Worldle in 2016 …

He’s never really been given enough credit for his technical ability and football intelligence.:Can’t bear to see him leave. Just one more year, please.

If he could get a good deal with an MLS team, he could play for us till January then off to the U.S. 

[5waller5]

The finish, the unselfish assist, the outlet he gave playing off the shoulder, his intelligent running, desire, team ethic, press, and positive energy last night was peak Vardy.

 

He really is the greatest player to play for our club in my 55 years on the planet. 🐐💙⭐️

[NasPb]

12 more months! 

[Stadt]

How lucky we are to have witnessed his career in a general sense, let alone watching him do this for our club. Legend.

[robbieLOVESthealmightylcfc]

He can defo help us next season. Even if he did struggle in the prem just take him for cup games / coming off the bench

I think most (all) people would agree he'd be great to keep around, the issue the club have got themselves into is over whether they can actually afford to. He's one of our higher earners and keeping him for cameos and cup games would be frivolous.

 

It's bloody rubbish.

[ClaphamNorthFox]

This thread is starting to make me cry! I can’t imagine LCFC without Vardy. 😢 

 

If the Blackburn game is his last game I’d love the club to get another legend in Stevie Walsh to give him something from the club. 
 

 

[Daggers]

How someone that age managed to produce that performance last night is staggering. He’s really ending on a high - by far the greatest player I’ve ever seen wear the shirt. 
 

And to think back to the shit he copped on here in his first season 😂

I know. There were players there 15 years younger than him blowing out of their arse before he was.

 

I was worried when he was in the lineup - i thought there was no way he could start 2 games so quickly. Must had 'bulled' him up to the eyeballs before the game. I was shattered just watching.

[StanSP]

Maybe the montage at the Blackburn game will start off with his 'oh hello' clip, a montage of all his memorable goals over the years, and then him signing a new contract with us... 

[RowlattsFox]

Happy to give him a year extension, good to have around, fill in where needed but he can't be the main striker and obviously needs to be on reduced terms.

We are going to have to sign a lot of players, so can't just let everyone leave. 

 

I have doubted him at times this season, more his all-round play and I've felt he's overdone the shithousery tactics, especially away from home. But to have 18 goals when he's not always been a starter is a great return. 

[lcfc sheff]

Both the heart and head say he needs to have another season with us
