Jamie Vardy

[balotelli's back pocket]

He isnt a natural posession player, but he isnt bony. Much cleverer with his movement. Could work very well. Worst case scenario he is like aguero without the skill, getting in behind and getting 10 goal or so.

Fucking

Show off.

No there isn't.

They are still 29.

If you can get the player for a reasonable price (and 20m for Vardy would be given the prices players go for these days) you'd be daft not to.

For example would you rather have Vardy at 20m and he produces 2-3 seasons like this season for us or Sterling at 45m and he produces 5+ seasons (he's one of these long term 'one for the future' buys after all) like this season?

Are you seriously saying that there isn't a difference between buying a 29 year old and keeping an existing squad member who is 29 years old?

Stop with this Steptoe nonsense.

You have to laugh at someone trying to compare these two!!

Hwd get more than 10 goals, but why get him? He could be so much more playing for a team that suits his style.

If you want examples of why it's a non starter, look at Lambert, Ings, Steve Bull, Guy Whittingham etc. Even Michu and Bony fall into the same category.
They have a good season in a less glamorous club that plays to their strengths and people start talking silly money.
In the grand scheme of things, 20m seems reasonable. Add in a wage of at least 50k a week and he becomes a very expensive squad player with a rapidly diminishing value.

Ermm. Yes there is. A huge difference.

Would love Vardy if he was 25, his game is all about pace, at 29 he is one injury away from loseing his biggest asset, if injury is avoided he is only 2/3 years from decline, no not for me would rather Pepe looked at EDS for a fringe player to develope

Ermm. Yes there is. A huge difference.

He wouldn't be worth it at 26 years old, he wouldn't get a touch, never mind a game in the new set up... You know the one that 'some people' are guessing what it might be/look like etc...
