reynard Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 He will have bigger fish to fry than us unfortunately. Vital to get him signed up so when we sell him we can get the most we possibly can. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It saves the gamble of trying to replace him when we probably would’ve struggled to match his talent or upgrade on him. Also drives the price up should someone come sniffing this summer.

Goober Posted 7 February 2021 Share Posted 7 February 2021 Youri should be nowhere near the armband while Kasper is at the club. Can't believe it's even up for debate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardy could have earnt 300k a week elsewhere and we've never paid him more than 140k a week. He's won us titles, golden boots and carried this club on his back at times. Up until the last month or so Maddison had gone nearly a year without any consistency and there were absolutely no genuine transfer links last summer for him. Yes, many of our players could earn more elsewhere and the most talented should be rewarded where possible but I wouldn't have made Maddison our 2nd highest earner yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love vardy, but who the hell is paying him £300k p/w (considering his age) he pretty much committed his future to City after the contract at the end of 15/16. im not saying Maddison deserves to be earning £150k p/w, but in line with what he could earn at another club + his value, I could see his representatives demanding in that range.

It’s as much about timing as anything else. I imagine that there will be a few up there with him as contracts come closer to expiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I'm just being a bit facetious in the sense that Vardy is every bit as good as Aubameyang, Kane and Aguero and they'll all be on something daft like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StriderHiryu Posted 7 February 2021 Author Share Posted 7 February 2021 Thought he was quite good again today, shooting apart. He ran the centre of the park for us and most creative play came from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was the pick of the bunch for us. Controlled the centre of the pitch, unfortunately we didn’t have quite enough ahead of him to break them down. They looked a very well drilled and disciplined defensive unit; and they have good wide players, but I thought we won the battle in centre mid. It wasn’t a classic by any stretch, but I found it quite an absorbing contest (would have been a fantastic result if we’d nicked at the end). We definitely miss Wilf’s presence and drive in the middle of the pitch; I think we might have overrun them if he was playing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bptiger Posted 8 February 2021 Share Posted 8 February 2021 Gee he was poor today just could get the ball out from between his feet , he also got caught with the ball more today , maybe he is starting to run out of steam , and we don’t have a replacement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's grim isn't it that representatives (agents) can 'demand', and probably will, a pay rise whilst their client signed a contract in good faith(?) with an employer. Not saying that Madders is the type to do that (not Mahrez style) or if another club would offer that sort of contract but its always a concern especially when rubbing shoulders with England International buddies.

Not saying that Madders is the type to do that (not Mahrez style) or if another club would offer that sort of contract but its always a concern especially when rubbing shoulders with England International buddies. Modern football is rubbish. I agree. It’s a cut throat world of mega money at the top, and not much at all at the bottom. The money the top players get paid is obscene. It’s ridiculous. eg For Arsenal to still be paying Mezut fookin Ozil a reported 350k per week, to not even be in the squad is utterly utterly barmy. Just imagine it.... not far off a million quid every MONTH to not even be playing at all! Only top flight football can have set itself up to do this. It wouldn’t happen anywhere else I don’t imagine. Now with VAR and all the nonsense around that and of course, Covid and no crowds at games, it’s not the best era for following football. I pity the fans who consider footballers ‘heroes’. They aren’t at all. They are good at what they do, get paid ludicrous money for doing it and will be off to the next highest bidder as soon as their agent tells them too The main reason I love Vardy (apart from his goals) is because he chose to stay at Leicester despite the promise of huge money at Arsenal. He knew he was pretty much top dog here, his family were settled, so he stayed. But Vardy is very much the exception Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daddylonglegs Posted 9 February 2021 Share Posted 9 February 2021 Man City, Liverpool & Bayern are the only teams in the world he doesn't get into. I originally typed Madrid, Barca etc but I genuinely think he'd get into those teams now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
