Leicester are going to have no one left. That would be hilarious. If the players mentioned were to leave, Leicester would clear £250m income for this window, I reckon.

Sure, but I think rather than pay a fuck ton for Vardy, lets just sign someone younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a donkey but we were desperate for a striker and he was available. I don’t think Vardy would be a panic buy if he were the best available option in the final week of the window because he’s a proven goal scorer over several seasons in the PL and unbelievably his pace hasn’t diminished even though he’s at the end of his career. I don’t think they want to sign older players. The players we have been linked with are mostly under 25. But they signed Burn and Tripper so they clearly aren’t against buying players the wrong side of 30, if they have the right quality. And Vardy guarantees goals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he's featured in their plans before now and then suddenly we turn our attention towards him then by definition, of course he'd be a panic buy. Your assertion that 'he's not a donkey like Chris Wood' won't change that fact We've appointed a structure since the takeover that has a strategic and detailed plan of what they want to achieve. If Vardy was within that plan they'd already have been making advances towards him. We've become so accustomed to the 'slap-dash, buy players at the last minute' approach that it's difficult for many to see that we are going to have a much more professional approach. As I said above, I can't see Vardy fitting in with their plan, irrespective of the stats behind him. And I disagree with the comment that he 'gurarantees goals'. As much as we'd like to say otherwise, there's never a guarantee of that. I remember Liverpool fans crowing years ago at the signing of Robbie Keane making similar comments about guaranteed goals. Didn't work out that way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't work out that way though. well he guaranteed goals in every one of the past 7 seasons, so the odds are in his favour. there is a structure and a strategic plan, but they also showed by signing wood that they’re prepared to divert from the plan if needed. The difference between wood and Vardy is one of them is top quality. And one of them quite clearly is not. I’m not suggesting we’re in for him but if there is a fire sale at Leicester and we can get him, I think he would massively improve our squad in a way wood wasn’t capable of doing - even if he’s a short term solution. So I wouldn’t file him under panic buy, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13869 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Still think Wood will chip in with a few this season, like. They’ll be scrappy and shite and/or penalties in the League Cup but I don’t think he needs to be written off just yet. He is a bit of a donkey like but Howe will know exactly what to do with him at the very least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
