Lambert09 2,744 Posted 26 November 2020 Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 (edited) I often find myself struggling to improve my teams on footy manager as I feel a loyalty to my players. So one of the toughest questions for all Leicester fans, if Barca proposed a swap deal for our two lords... would you do it?

boots60 1,192 Posted 26 November 2020 Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 No, but I would have Messi as an impact sub. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AKCJ 14,886 Posted 26 November 2020 Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 No. Messi would probably take us into the Champions League but whats the point. Vardy is Leicester City. 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
urban.spaceman 31,513 Posted 26 November 2020 Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 Never really understood the obsession some people have with the "GOATS". I always found the discussion exceptionally boring. I appreciate Ronaldo and Messi are great players but as they don't play for Leicester City my interest in them is extremely low. I much prefer unlikelier heroes anyway. Vardy all the way for me. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steveherbe 992 Posted 26 November 2020 Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 Dont be stupid, Messi is the original one trick pony, not a patch on our Jamie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThomasM 0 Posted 26 November 2020 Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 (edited) In Football Manager yes, in real life no. Unfortunately FM just doesn't accurately enough portray most players; and Vardy ingame drops stats like a leaky pipe due to his age, even though there has been no sign of that in reality. I am three seasons in, in FM 21. Leicester 2 points off the title first season, won the next year; second again the year after. Recommend Origi, Ikone, Tah, Donnarumma (expensive), Aouar and Calhanoglu. (Camavinga and Leaea is pretty good 3 years in too) Edited 26 November 2020 by ThomasM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Trav Le Bleu 8,531 Posted 26 November 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 Can't believe so many people are saying no. Even Vardy would swap himself for Messi. 9 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fox92 11,428 Posted 26 November 2020 Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 Yes. Messi would probably single-handedly drag us into a title challenge on a consistent basis. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gunnlaugson's Rizlas 37 Posted 26 November 2020 Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 Realistically, yeah of course you would take the swap in a second. Aside from having a great player, it would elevate the status of the club on an insane level. And would still be a good move for Vardy. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fox_up_north 545 Posted 26 November 2020 Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 No. Vardy 5 years ago during promotion or even just after title win? Yeah. But he IS the club. His story is ours. Vardy for Mbappe? Now you're talking... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Muzzy_Larsson 3,184 Posted 26 November 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 33 year old Messi wouldn't score as many goals in this Leicester side as 33 year old Jamie Vardy, 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
brucey 5,015 Posted 26 November 2020 Report Share Posted 26 November 2020 (edited) Yeah, I hate it, but the fact is that the resulting exposure for the club would make a massive impact in the minds of potential future signings/replacements, even more so than the new training ground. Income from selling shirts etc to bandwagon jumpers (some of which would stay for good) would be pretty huge as well. It'd be a shortcut to becoming an established 'big club'. If we are considering purely footballing reasons, I'm not that bothered either way. He might be a disruptive character but he would also let us keep our other stars for longer.
