Still seems strange saying Leicester. Champions. But they are. Vardy snubbing Arsenal and staying. Good. Suprissed yes. But good. http://m.bbc.com/sport/football/36606270
couldn't give a ****. **** leicester and **** vardy the pikey ****. hopefully they'll both get their comeuppance and fade back into obscurity within a couple of years.
Sensible decision on his part. That Leicester side is greater than the sum of its parts and he probably realises that. He'd have faded into obscurity at Arsenal.
Where does everybody think Leicester will finish, next season? I know it's early days, but I think the Champions League games will have a massive impact on their league form and I see them finishing just below mid-table.
Not sure it's money though. It'll be the guaranteed football if he's fit at Leicester - there are better players for the Arsenal game at Arsenal now and he'd probably end up, as was said previously, as another Francis Jeffers (and Leicester have probably offered him a sizeable wedge too!0
I said they'll struggle not to finish 15th or below - particularly looking at spending £25m on Troy Deeney (see I spelt it right this time!)
I'll make that call based on numerous things, such as who they sign, who others sign and most importantly who they sell. Right now if I had to make the call, taking into account they will have at least 6 Champions League fixtures... I'd say 7th.
I think they'll be top five, if there was one thing I learned last season it was never write off Leicester. They'll probably win the bloody Champions League. Whether they can replicate the same winning formula or not who knows and I think it's likely that the other best teams will have strengthened well. I expect the Manchesters and Chelsea to be a different proposition this season.
Leicester had the perfect storm in their favour. 'Top four' we're in total disarray for various reasons that why Spurs hung onto second spot for so long. Can't see our so called big clubs repeating last season's mistakes, I can see Leicester finishing 10th, one place behind us.
If reports are correct 25 grand a week less, I don't know about you but in my book that's a shed load of money, so good luck to the lad.
It's not like he's stayed for £15k a week mate, he's still pocketing massive money and for all we know he could have just been handed a £5m bonus to sign for another 4 years.
I'm pretty sure that what's happening at the Euros has helped him make his decision. When teams are playing rigid back 5's and holding a deep line Vardy is having to come looking for the ball and quite frankly becomes inaffective. This is the sort of play he'd have to put up with at Arsenal with methodical build up play allowing opposition defences time to organise etc etc. As we all know Leicester play to Vardys strengths and this counter attacking / quick break football has helped him make a name for himself. The lad has gone from f*ck all to 100 grand a week in a matter of years so I doubt he is complaining too much. Lack of ambition (even tho he plays for the Champs)? Maybe Sensible decision? Absolutely !!
