Milton Keynes Fox Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 I thought he's been the best of our three main strikers so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 I feel sorry for the guy. A one million pound tag on him wont help his mental thought. The poor bloke appears too be well out of his depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really doesn't look that out of his depth, how many times have you watched him 'appear to be well out of his depth'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libertine Dream Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 I feel sorry for the guy. A one million pound tag on him wont help his mental thought. The poor bloke appears too be well out of his depth. Thats why the Charlton fans were eulogising about him because he is way out his depth. Negative muppet.

ta-fc Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 Bit too early to say definitively... work rates good maybe missing a bit of class at this level. Ask me again ten games in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grewks Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 Performing better than Beckford who is likely to be on around 5x the wage and apparently cost 4x less aswell. From our performances it is JB that looks out of his depth not vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFC FOX Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 Did he get partnered next to anyone else in pre season other than Nugent or Beckford? Maybe he should get a shot next to Futacs or Waghorn? Feel Vardy work rate is there he just struggles to get into finishing position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyBeet Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 I reckon we have found a little gem in Vardy. The guy can finish - no two ways about that. He was one of the best men on the pitch on Saturday, scored a beauty against Torquay and had a decent pre-season. Besides that one miss last night I fail to envisage exactly what he has done to deserve such a truly ridiculous thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On 31 August 2011, Everton accepted a £2.5 million bid for Beckford from Championship side Leicester City.[ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seenitall Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 On 17 May 2012, it was announced that Vardy would be signing for Leicester City ahead of the 2012-13 season, for a reported fee of £1 million, a non-League record. Later that day it was revealed that the deal could potentially be worth up to £1.7 million with add ons.[1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoareyaaa Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 Beckford's touch is quite poor, Vardy's is on a whole different level of bad. I suppose it works like this, Iain Hume was a poor mans Paul Dickov, Vardy is a poor mans Iain Hume. This is from a Charlton fan who watched the game. cs1986 Member August 21 Great game. Leicester were a good side but very slow at the back. Vardy looked good every ball stuck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester were a good side but very slow at the back. Vardy looked good every ball stuck to him. And my point was from me, who also watched the game. His touch is poor. He very nearly created a lovely chance early on in the first half, he cut in from the left, checked back onto his right foot, opened the goal up for a shot but due to his touch it took him a further two touches to get the ball and his body shape correct by which time the defence had the shot covered and it came to nothing. I'm not saying he's shit, I'm not saying he's over priced, I'm not criticising the manager, I don't dislike the man, I have no vendetta, all I am saying is that his close control and touch are that of a non league player. Considering he was a non league player I don't think thats too outrageous. Unless he can improve in this area he will struggle to convert the chances he either creates for himself or others create for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vardys touch is worse than Beckfords though? you must be on a wind up surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burbage Fox Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 I have no idea how many times Beckford has been taken off at half time but I believe it is around once. I am largely indifferent to the manager, I assume he kept Vardy on as he thought he was the more likely to score. It was a good game let down by poor finishing and poor defending. A good game let down by poor finishing and poor defending..... is there anything else that matters in football apart from keeping the opposition out and then scoring yourself?? Just a thought!

fleckneymike Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 Vardys touch is worse than Beckfords though? you must be on a wind up surely? Nope. They both struggle with their touch but Vardy's is considerably worse. They both have backgrounds in non league football which explains why they are both below average.

Fox92 Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 Just seen the highlights. I don't think it is as bad as what most people are making out... The cross was hit with real pace (which is good), from a fairly close range, and I'm sure Vardy couldn't use his neck in time to get the ball anywhere else expect straight at the goalkeeper. For me, Nugent's miss was worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Double agony for me as I threw myself to the floor when he missed only to find myself rolling around in gob from the bloke standing behind me!

Bluetintedspecs Posted 22 August 2012 Share Posted 22 August 2012 From what I've seen vardy is very promising. IMO if you had beamed in 50 football fans, with no knowledge of where players came from, and asked them their opinion on who looked the likeliest striker my feelings are that Vardy would get the bulk of the votes.
