womp Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 What on earth would he gain from it except the chance to be injured.
Guest An Sionnach Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 England and Leicester have always been a poor fit, only Gordon Banks has been a regular player for England and retained his club form . In recent years Vardy, Drinkwater, Maguire and Chilwell have all lost form after playing for England. This doesn't apply to our other internationals like Evans and Soyuncu so I'm pretty sure Jamie would not be interested in a return.
ultrafox Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 No way. No point anyway.......no one (apart from Maddison and Chilwell) will pass to him.
Ashley Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 Just a heads up but Vards has put @England back into his Twitter and Insta bio. Whilst I posted this a few weeks ago I would probably take it with a pinch of salt as he does like a wind up.
peach0000 Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 If Kane doesn’t make the euros and if Southgate categorically confirms Vardy will be first choice then yes. If not it would be an insult to Vardys ability as the best striker in the country to go and sit on the bench while a one legged unfit dribbler plays ahead of him.
Unabomber Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 I was listening to Talksport yesterday and they were on about how Vardy was treated by Southgate during the World Cup. I had actually forgotten just how bad it was, especially during the semi final. They left Kane on who couldn’t move, bought Rashford on before Vardy! This was when they were knackered and we needed a goal. They then gave the best striker England have around 8 minutes. Unbelievable incompetence by the manager. Vardy should tell them to swivel should they have the nerve and audacity to even ask him to come back.
Tuna Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 Absolutely not. They never appreciated him and always under used him. If he was any other nationality he'd have about 50 caps by now and about 20 goals.
grobyfox1990 Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 Absolutely no chance, not in a million years, never. The club are on the cusp of achieving very good things, take a summer off and rest to maximise the last few years of your career. Why be a part of a sub standard management team getting knocked out in the quarters or semis.
dylanlegend Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 At the end of the day... it’s up to Vardy. We are favourites for the Euros. Probably Vardys last chance to be involved with something like that
RonnieTodger Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 No, but I was always so much more interested in England when Vardy was involved.
foxfanazer Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 Why should he? Been seriously underappreciated by Southgate

Probably Vardys last chance to be involved with something like that See, it's the climax of the film isn't it - he scores the winner for England to win the cup. The film will probably do a slightly abridged version to make it that he won the world cup though. In the real world though, I am hoping for a nice relaxing off-season for him.
coolhandfox Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 I'd prefer him not to...... But I can't see him turning down, if he's assured he'll be more that a bit part.
Foxxed Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 Why wouldn't Vardy want to leave his newborn son to sit beside Maddison on the bench while they watch inferior players who play for teams lower than them in the league lose to worse teams under poor management?
AKCJ Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 He's England's best striker so he absolutely should be playing. I'll be ****ing gutted if we're playing an unfit Harry Kane or Rashford (who isn't a striker) instead of our best number 9 in what is essentially a home tournament and a massive chance of winning silverware. Can't believe any Englishman would think otherwise.

bmt Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 Just now, AKCJ said: It pains Foxestalk to admit it but when he's fit Harry Kane is a better striker than Jamie Vardy. Maybe but not by much, and Kane does somewhat dictate the way we play (as Vardy does) to get the best out of him. I was never bothered about Kane getting picked the majority of games for England, but there are definitely games and occasions where Vardy would be a better fit. Not sticking him on the left wing with 10 mins to go, that's just madness. Also Kane won't be properly fit for the start of the Euros.
Dames Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 Just now, AKCJ said: It pains Foxestalk to admit it but when he's fit Harry Kane is a better striker than Jamie Vardy. Arguably yes but Harry Kane will not be 100% fit this summer and he will still be getting in ahead of any one whether it be Vardy, Abraham or even Ings. Southgate won't have the minerals to drop Kane. Its despairing knowing that we have such a generation of potentially great players coming through and they are entrusted to Aidy Boothroyd and Gareth Southgate.

turtmcfly Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 Clearly he wouldn't consider a return without some kind of promise of extended game time, so the whole 'Southgate would stick him on bench' type comment is not really relevant. The wider point is between now and Kane being fit again we only have two games (the one after those is in June, two months after Kane is due to come back). As such I very much doubt it would happen and can't really see the point, but I'm pretty sure Vardy would jump at the opportunity if that promise was made.
dylanlegend Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 Imagine Sterling / Vardy / Sancho on the counter attack. Feck me England would be electric.
Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 For the Jamie, the issue is that he was not treated well during his last international tournament. He was our second best striker but was given minimum time to show his threat in comparison to Rashford. For example, the Croatia game where Southgate chose Rashford to come on over him. Vardy was far more proven then Rashford at the time and the decision was disappointing but it shows the thought process of Southgate when in comes to player selection. The bigger traditional club player is always first in comparison to the proven player who may play for a smaller club. At 32, rest time for Vardy is key to him being an effective club player. He doesn't need to be wasting his resting time sitting on a bench being overlooked for players with a worse league record than him. Would I like to see Vardy at the next international ? Yes, of course. Do I want to see Vardy going to a tournament to make up numbers - of course not. While Southgate is manager, I think he is better off staying retired.
