A post Vardy Leicester

[An Away Move]

How do we do the impossible? What’s the best plan?

 

Buy as similar player as we can get to the great man himself?

 

Smash our wage structure and try and get someone like Haaland?

 

Promote from within, eg, Play Barnes as a No.9?

 

What else?

I do not want to think about this just yet. Let me recover from Christmas booze first

Can’t rely on Iheanacho that’s for sure.

There is no way someone like Haaland is coming here! Never in a million years, a player like that can pretty much pick and choose any club in world football. We maybe have to lower our expectations a tad.

[Tuna]

It's unfathomable.

[Guest Hansifüx]

get a good left winger and move barnes to CF, and be patient.

Not even if we show them our new training ground and sell them the vision that we’ll build around them? 😂

There isn't anyone anything like him

What else? Get someone in ASAP to learn from Vardy and play the games that JV needs resting for. If we leave it until Vardys retired we're screwed

 

[Dahnsouff]

We cannot replace, we have to evolve. Start now.

[adam]

Barnes needs to stick to playing out wide. Were a decent side. Buy a forward. We don't have time trying to turn barnes into one. 

[Hales]

Clone him and quick!

[Angus Scott]

A frightening thought

[foxfanazer]

How olds his son? 

[foxes_rule1978]

Replacing Vardy is going to be tough, but Barnes is coming through get in another winger with pace and goals, and a half decent goal scorer it won’t be too bad 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

All the investment and progress we've made and we're still totally reliant on him. I am honestly dreading the day he retires.

I know. But our legend is 34 very soon and it’s incredibly lucky for us that he’s still this good. Sadly, like all good things, it will pass. 

[HankMarvin]

Hopefully we can clone him injury free and prime version by the time he retires  

[twister]

accept that mid table futures loom

 

you cant replace vardy he is irreplaceable 

[Paninistickers]

Why worry about it? Cross that bridge when we come to it. 

 

Entirely possible we've got 4 or 5 more seasons out of him still. 

[Les-TA-Jon]

There’s no ‘replacing’ Vardy, especially considering how unique he is. 

We can’t simply go a sign another striker of his level or reliability - that’s a £50m+ player. 
 

Finding/signing a reliable goal scoring striker is what every team in world football is constantly trying to do. 
 

I’d have loved us to go for Ings back in the summer, but he would probably be too expensive for his age and after almost winning the golden boot last season he wouldn’t have wanted to come here to sit on the bench 

[Dahnsouff]

Not even about Vardy retiring, we just need to prolong his career and that means resting him a little more and having a valid alternative we can use.

[foxfanazer]

Get relegated and start the journey all over again

I hope the club don’t have this thinking! 😂

[Izzy]

Doesn't bear thinking about.

 

I'll just stay under my warm blanket of denial instead.
