Jamie Vardy called up by England

Jamie Vardy is in the England squad for the 2 up coming games against San Marino and Gokhan Inler's Switzerland

 

Hope he gets some pitch time, well done Jamie

 

I hope he plays & I´ll tell you why. He & Rooney are doing very well for their respective clubs at the mo where as Kane is doing next to **** all. Who else have England got up top ?
Vardy & Rooney for me & I really hope he bags a goal or 3 v SM, no disrespect but with his pace v amateurs ???

 

Oh, well done JV btw.

 

Trying to think, is he England's top league scorer at the mo? Anyway it's well deserved and I just hope he plays and scores.

 

The way he plays he could do more damage against someone like San Marino than many other strikers

 

Spot on Ed, he'd run riot and the rest of the players would love feeding off him.

 

The squad isn't officially announced until 6pm

 

Well our other England strikers:

Rooney - 0 goals
Kane - 0 goals
Walcott - 0 goals

 

Top English scorer in the Premier League is Callum Wilson but he can't be considered just yet IMO. After him Vardy is top English scorer

 

He has only scored in two top flight games in his whole career...

 

Thats what I'm about about, you can't call someone up based on 2 good games. Its like when there was talk of Vardy getting called up after the Man U game. Vardy has now proven he can cut it in the Prem and he has performed consistently and at the minute there isn't a better English striker so he is fully justified for a call up

 

They had a pretty good discussion about vardy on MOTD last night.

 

He is going to start according to BBC - know it is only against San Marino but well done to the lad considered where he was a few years back.

Chuffed for the lad, particularly given his background he is very likeable

 

Really pleased for him, to think he was on the verge of quitting a couple of years ago. Non league to England international is some going in 3 years, a lot of hard work in there from the lad.

We only need 3 points from 4 games to qualify so a good opportunity for him and some others to be given a chance. Woy is clearly open to picking & playing some players in form not just because of who they are.

I know it´s not v top quality opposition, but this is a perfect game for him to show his pace & ability. I hope he takes his chance & bangs a few in.

"COME ON JV"

 

He's had a bit of abuse on twitter- i really hopes he puts in a great performance. My worry is that he may be played out wide of a front 3 where he isnt as effective

 

He'll be there to provide all the running around and setting up goals for that slacker Rooney to break the record.
