I thought Hume was a decent player for us. He scored 14 goals in his first full season here. If Vardy got the same amount it would be a decent return from him. The difference with Hume and Vardy it Hume was playing with a very poor squad that heavy relied on him. Vardy has people like King, Dyer, Danns, Beckford, Nugent, Marshall who are all capable of scoring their fair share

Can see Vardy moving on to the left wing when NP's finally loses patience with Dyer.

I felt Hume was a frustrating player that worked very hard but was wasteful in front of goal. I admired him, but wasn't too upset when he left either. It is a fair point to say we lacked a goal-scoring midfield back then, and I too will be happy if Vardy gets 14 league goals. But NOT if he finishes our top goal-scorer on that total.

How many goals did West Ham's top scorer get last season?

I doubt he got 14

Hume was like a meerkat on acid .. picking fights he couldn't win most of the time ... Vardy has tons of energy but is not so reckless in its useage .. for me he will be Pearsons 'fox in the box' and for a prediction ? .. I'll say he will get between 15 and 20 goals this season .. and if I'm wrong I'll eat Charlie's shorts .. and that's a bold prediction as, in all likelihood, he has pooed in them ...

It was a brave call without adding the stipulation! Perhaps you should edit your post before OLM tries to make it legally binding...

Carlton Cole was their top goal scorer with 14 league goals and 15 in total. Although remember they did change things around in Jan with Vaz Te and Maynard coming in. And they only finished in the play-off zone.

I agree - have to contrast them with the performances of Nugent and Konchesky ... the first virtually anonymous, the second still poor decision making that could have cost us .... and as for Beckford! .. missed a sitter ... selfishly skyed when ream mate better placed ... gave ball away appalingly in our penalty area and then failed to pass square to Vardy who would have been clear: instead he gave Vardy a 40:50 ball with their keeper ... sooner rid for me ...

Totally agree with you! looks like a player who wants out to me........sooner the better for our team.
