Popular Post treer 298 Posted 8 December 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted 8 December 2019 Let alone a Leicester player, . I think the only player in the Pl era, to come near him is Aguero for the other City. Some may say Cantona for United but for sure that is as far as the discussion gets. What a legend. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is better than "It begins tomorrow" though I suppose But yes, Vardy is ridiculous, and is getting me lots of FF points to boot.

The whole world smiles 4,909 Posted 8 December 2019 Report Share Posted 8 December 2019 Lol that was a great win but people are getting a bit carried away. Bare in mind he has only scored 20 premier league goals in 2 seasons out of 5 so far. Hes one of the most iconic players of his generation and the best player in our clubs history. But not sure he's up there with the greatest ever premier league strikers like Drogba, Henry, Aguero, Shearer etc. Also wasn't Cantona more of skillful number 10 Dennis Bergkamp type than a prolific goal scorer?

I have to disagree with you there; he scored a 11 in a row! He’s a premier league great imo, and will prove that this season by beating Shearers record 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hollyfox 888 Posted 8 December 2019 Report Share Posted 8 December 2019 I really think he is. Although we're biased, he has some incredible stats. Many of the other players mentioned, played in some great sides with creative players around them for a long period of time. It is well known that under Claude, Vards was under performing but still chipped in with a few Dispite being suffocated of service. He's a different beast now and all premier defences shit themselves about facing our attack. Just like Liverpool, teams are seriously worried about what we can do without focusing on when they can do. This gives us a huge physiological advantage over teams. Imo this is why Liverpool score so many late goals and get so many decisions. Other sides fear them so much and we're getting there ourselves 👍 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Fair point. You could argue that Drogba was more of a complete player with incredible hold up play and technical ability, who contributed with a lot more assists. You could also argue that he won the premier 4 times and the champions League once. But hey I don't want to that guy. Arguing against Jamie Vardy with fellow Leicester fans so fuch it he's the best ever. Up the city. Edited 8 December 2019 by The whole world smiles 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Anglodanglo 833 Posted 8 December 2019 Report Share Posted 8 December 2019 (edited) Profiles fade fast once out the spotlight unless you're one of names mentioned above. JV is one of them in terms of Premier League legacy. A player fans will still talk about 20 years from now. Edited 8 December 2019 by Anglodanglo 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's no way he's getting 260 or whatever Shearer has. I think or assume he was taking about most goals in a season, although I think Salah broke this record now 32, which Vards is on course for. The other record he can aim for is most different teams scored against in one season- current record 17. I believe Vardy is on 11 and needs goals against Norwich, West Ham, Liverpool, Man City, Man Utd, Spurs, Wolves, Chelsea. We know he loves scoring against the big teams, could be a chance. 2 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LC/FC 1,046 Posted 8 December 2019 Report Share Posted 8 December 2019 I love Vardy. He has that crazy single minded driven stare that only the elites have. The stare that says "I'm gonna **** you up and you're gonna know about it!" Roy Keane had it. Graham Sourness had it. Pontus Kamaark pocketing Juninho had it. But I can't think of anyone else in the last decade that's had that mad bastard stare apart from Vardy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pmcla26 2,120 Posted 8 December 2019 Report Share Posted 8 December 2019 I just loved hearing the Villa fans singing: ”Jamie Vardy, you’re wife is a slag” When you hear abuse like that from the opposition fans coming his way, there’s no doubt what comes next. Just have to sit back and enjoy 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And people here were getting angry that england weren't playing to his strengths. Chelsea, arsenal, Man City etc probably wouldn't have played to his strengths either. Although we get it a bit at home the traditional top sides opponents tend to line up against them with a low line and very defensive mentally. Vardy's career has probably benefitted from the fact that over the last 6 years a lot of sides have fancied their chances against us and look to attack.

pmcla26 2,120 Posted 8 December 2019 Report Share Posted 8 December 2019 Jamie Vardy and Leicester just works. He might’ve never been what he is without the club but equally there’s absolutely no chance we would have achieved what we have without him. Absolute legend, best marriage in football 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
