foxesfan1989 Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 A million quid for a player close to the peak of his career who's done nothing but score a few in non league. Woo hoo! Grant Holt...
kingfox Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 Ian Stringer@StringerSport Fleetwood have confirmed that #lcfc are in negotiations to sign Jamie Vardy although they claim other clubs are interested. Deal seems close
Poakey Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 the defending can be shit in the champ but the standard in that vid was appalling. not the cleanest finishes either. 500k would have done me but obviously there's lots of interest in him. Watching that video shows he has good bit of pace and good feet although I thought the defending and goalkeeping was awful.
shen Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 He's 25 pal Whatever, pal. I just assumed wiki had his birthdate right. Besides, that only further emphasizes my point.
Nick Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 I fvcking love the expectation and excitement of pre season!!! Let's not get miserable or start questioning the validity of the sourse let's just roll with it and enjoy the ride! Vardy! Vardy! Vardy! Not sure what to make of the youtube clip to be honest - (of course normally I'd base my entire mortgage on such evidence) Now although I realise he can't help the standard of football he's been playing at, he won't get anything like the time and space on those clips due to terrible goalkeeping and clueless defending and I doubt he'll look as fast either. Perhaps I need to see a different youtube clip before I am certain he's our new 20 goal a season striker.......
The Padster Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 A million quid for a player close to the peak of his career who's done nothing but score a few in non league. Woo hoo! So surely the best time to sign him.
Simo86 Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 Whatever, pal. I just assumed wiki had his birthdate right. Besides, that only further emphasizes my point. Yeah that's why I said it, I agree with what you said. Wiki has 2 different dates for his birthday I got his age off the Fleetwood website
RumbleFox Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 Fvcking cheer up you misers. I wager the same people moaning now are the same that moaned when Sven signed "big names here for one last pay cheque" and urged him to sign "hungry, lower league players". Let's just be positive eh? If he's shit, he's shit but let's give him a chance first! Vardy! Vardy! Vardy! X
ScouseFox Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 Grant Holt... Are we signing him too?! Grant Holt worked his way up over a number of years, playing League 1 with Forest, League 2 with Shrewsbury, League 1 with Norwich, Championship with Norwich before finally having a crack at the Prem. Bit different to jumping 3 leagues at once to a level nothing even close to anything you've experienced before...
Leicesterpool Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 good bit of business, however this could spell the end of Beckford read a few rumours online that he could be returning to Leeds. Shame but he has been disapointing this season.
AjcW Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 A million quid for a player close to the peak of his career who's done nothing but score a few in non league. Woo hoo! I wasn't aware the peak of a strikers career was 25!!
Babylon Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 A million quid for a player close to the peak of his career who's done nothing but score a few in non league. Woo hoo! £3.5m-£5m... Play off team captain. Woo DOH!

wellyfox Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 Gary Winston lineker! Did'nt play non league signed for us on school boy terms.
RowlattsFox Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 I know a Fleetwood fan at work and he has been raving about him all season, and is gutted that I have just told him we're signing him but he did expect him to leave. There is no guarantee he will step up but he seems to think he'll have no problem, gues we'll just have to wait and see. Apparently he had personal problems when he was a bit younger, allegedly around drink etc so never really fulfilled potential but he now is settled down wih a kid etc so maybe he's staring to show his talents.

If he's shit, he's shit but let's give him a chance first! Vardy! Vardy! Vardy! X I wasn't writing him off at all. It just strikes me as expensive for a player like Vardy. I guess I'm just frightened by the expensive flops of Mills, Paintsil, Beckford etc etc...

Bozman Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 I go and watch the stags a bit living on the notts /derby border, and ive seen him play twice this year at mansfield and i'm not sure why we are interested in him,he has a bit of pace and makes some decent runs , but in my opinion he is not any better than waggy or schlupp, some of the defending in the conferance is shocking [you know abit like our defence this year]think hes scored 31 goals and matt green for mansfield has scored 30. So its a no for me i'm afraid a nothing buy.our fringe strikers would score 30 plus in the bsq/ prem...........
Toffee_Fox Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 It's a 'risk' but its hardly breaking the bank, I'd rather see them discover a gem who will put 100% effort into every game in an attempt to prove themselves than pay over the odds for a player who thinks they are too good for a club therefore look uninterested.
Raw Dykes Posted 2 May 2012 Posted 2 May 2012 I wasn't writing him off at all. It just strikes me as expensive for a player like Vardy. I guess I'm just frightened by the expensive flops of Mills, Paintsil, Beckford etc etc... I see what you mean, but if it's any consolation, someone said it was a £750k with add-ons deal. If that's true, then there's less risk. It'll only be £1m if he turns out to be as good as the clubs think, in which case, £1m might look like a bargain. Also, you can bet he'll be on relatively sensible wages, for various reasons, such as FFP rules, NP's track record and lessons learnt from Sven's reign. There will have been other clubs after him, bumping the price up, as well. He might not be as young as we'd like, but some players are late starters, like Ian Wright, for example. None of us can know how good a deal this is until he's played for us for a while, so there's not much point in anybody being gutted or jizzing their pants just yet.
