Been a bit lazy and haven't checked back but I don't recall it being posted 4 years ago that we had "entered the race to sign Fleetwood Town's non-league striking sensation Jamie Vardy. Several Premier League and Championship scouts watched Vardy score his 18th goal in 21 games as Fleetwood lost to Blackpool in the FA Cup third round on Saturday." please log in to view this image "Fulham boss Martin Jol was suitably impressed by his scouts' reports to make a move for the 24-year-old at a reported £1m " (which is what Leicester - who were not even mentioned at the time - apparently paid for him). Link to full story: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Jamie-Vardy-Fleetwood-Town.html#ixzz44PlC7dA8 Whatever, within two weeks we had signed Pavel Pogrebnyak. And at the time who among us would have doubted the wisdom of that decision? As The Pog scored 5 goals in his first 3 games, making him the quickest player to reach five goals in Premier League history.
