But he's settled at Leicester and has great chemistry with the club, fans, and players around him. If he goes to Arsenal, I don't think it will be the same. And I do not believe he will replicate the same form at Arsenal he has with Leicester. If he goes, it's a case of money and I do not blame him. If he stays, it's a case of playing football and being settled in the environment around him. Again, I do not blame him. I don't think there is any right or wrong decision in this for him. It's a risk for Vardy, no question. But at the age of 29, with a career spent mostly in the lower leagues behind him, imagine getting to the end of your career having turned down a move to The Arsenal. You would have to live with the "what if" forever. Personally I would grab it with both hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidercity1987 Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 He will be the next Francis Jeffers if he goes to Arsenal. Simply unsuited to Arsenals style of play, and does anyone actually believe the hype? More of a cult hero than a great footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that I don't think he'd suit Arsenal as well as Leicester but you don't score 24 goals at that level without having something about you. He's a very instinctive, clinical finisher and his pace means he's going to get opportunities in almost every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Selred Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Yes Vardy has had a great season, but look at his stats from the 3 seasons before. 14-15 Prem 5 goals in 34 - Poor. 13-14 Champ 16 goals in 37 - Average. 12-13 Champ 4 goals in 26 - Poor.

If Vardy does go, Leicester would do worse than to try and bring in Andre Gray. Also lightning quick, great finisher and similar background with that determination and fight of someone who's risen up the leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll deffo set him up for life and it'll be something else he never thought would happen. Whether he makes much of an impact is another matter. Another chapter in his own fairy tail.

Former Pirate Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 A no-brainer or a signing for me, I think he'll do very well at Arsenal and I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Mahrez and/or Kanté follow him to The Emirates. For £20m, signing a player who is everything Olivier Giroud isn't, is an easy decision. As mentioned earlier it's the same ball park as spent on Balotelli previously. I do find it funny though the Man Utd fans piping up about signing Ibrahimovic. That's an incredibly risky signing IMO, he's 36 and has never played in the Premier League, and will cost the thick end of a quarter of a million every week. Compare that to Vardy who would cost £100k a week, is literally bang in his prime now so will be at this level for 2/3/4 seasons, and is proven in the league. I know who I'd go for and it's not Zlatan. Mind you, with a manager like Mourinho I can't say I'm surprised! I love them suggesting they 'turned down' Vardy too - the release clause applies to Champions League clubs only... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 5, 2016 Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Zlatan is very marketable. I doubt his net cost to United will be very much, if anything. Arguably Vardy similarly probably wouldn't be such a net outlay. Even still, the money in the PL means neither of these deals will be much cost.

Leicesters quick counter attack style of play last season was made for him. 50 goals in 51 games this season for 6'5 Ibrahimovic suggests he'll be fine at United, even if he is 36.

League winners with ever club he's been with, over 1/2 throughout his career spanning Spain, Italy, Sweden, Holland, Internationally; champions league team of the season, champions league most total assists in one year, UEFA team of the year four times....

I think the pirate has a point. He was a tremendous player, no one arguing that, but he is 36 now and the Prem is a more physical league than any of those.

I think he's going to be a superb signing. Almost akin to when Utd signed Teddy Sheringham and his subsequent return to Spurs too - for some, age does not take away from their strengths.

Robbored Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 Vardy is a one season wonder. He and Lecester will find it much more difficult next season. Teams will have worked him/them out and I doubt they'll achieve a top half finish. One of the big boys will reclaim the PL title. I hope it's Arsenal.
