Sterling did just that at Liverpool. Didn't wanna be there so didn't sign a new deal. At least Sterling acted on his convictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankieADZ Posted 5 February 2018 Share Posted 5 February 2018 tbh I dont blame the club for not dealing with West Ham, as shown during the summer transfer window they are a hack job when it comes to transfer and a like, plus they dont need Islam either, good fit going newcastle imo since they need another striker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct me if I'm wrong but Mahrez signed an initial extension in the summer of 2015, he then signed another improved contract in the summer of 2016.

Exactly. If someone offered £10m we'd have made a large profit on him, doesn't mean that's what he's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my naivety I was hoping our big three players would stay and with our super scout Steve Walsh we would buy another couple of players of our big three's level and kick on. Once Kante left and then Steve Walsh it looked like we were going to be picked apart so when Mahrez signed it gave the club a lot of stability.

Totally right but also despite the plaudits at the time I feel an undercurrent of anti Leicester at best because we had the audacity to upset the big boys.

ultrafox Posted 5 February 2018 Share Posted 5 February 2018 Maybe I've missed something here....but has Vardy really got such a bad reputation as a 'diver'? https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premiership/tottenham/did-a-vardy-fans-slate-tottenham-star-after-controversial-liverpool-antics/ This "Doing a Vardy" phrase may catch on, but if he blatantly dives so often, how come he hasn't been booked as often. He's a target everytime he gets the ball and most times the only way to stop him at speed is to bring him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a target everytime he gets the ball and most times the only way to stop him at speed is to bring him down. The Vardy reputation is purely forged out of us winning the league. When we were catching teams out all the time he was clever at winning penos like that a few times, using pace and forcing the keeper to foul him, inviting him a bit, but at least mananging to manufacture contact with his pace. Kane didnt even do that, just dived Vardy doesnt win so many now because team's allow for his pace and those opportunities come less, its not like he was ever a terrible diver. Jealousy has people slating him for that, like we get slated for everything since winning the Prem Delle Ali, is the worst for it as far as I can see, 3 bookings for diving in a year!, but he plays for Spurs, so the media wont bang on about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 5 February 2018 Share Posted 5 February 2018 I think we see more media attention in general than the top 7 (& Everton) because the press and most pundits perceive that they know more about us. It’s likely Merson et al would struggle to name 5 or 6 regular starters for Burnley or Bournemouth but there’s more familiarity with us, they’d perhaps rein in strong criticism for other teams because they (correctly) believe they’re not really informed but with us two years of media scrutiny has a false sense of familiarity with us so they’re more likely to make the usual cliched throwaway remarks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easier to have a go at Vardy, Simpson,Albrighton, etc.The latter don't have a reputation for diving but if they did you could be sure it would be a stick to beat us with. The England international has always been somehting of a protected species.we should know from shearer and Lennon as far back in 98. Jamie redknapp called them one of the most exciting teams in the world after the last game at home last season so the narrative on spurs isn't likely to change anytime soon.
