Jamie Vardy - BBC Sport - Vardy set to reject Arsenal

[pakgunner]

Wouldn't have been my choice but if it happens then we've bagged ourselves one of the best PL strikers. One season wonder? Time will tell. A gamble worth taking though and I look forward to seeing him here, even if he is a huge cunt.

We need cunts in our team, the majority of our players lack that killer instinct, the fight and passion when needed. The incident involving Diego Costa and Gabriel springs to mind, what did our players do to respond to his antic? Nothing! Vardy will bring that in spades, yes he is a late bloomer but he has many football attributes that our current strikers lack. I believe he will slot in well with our team.

For Vardy?

Release clause is apparently less than £20m

I was talking about young Jansen. There seems to be an assumption that we will get him for peanuts but the logic is flawed......particularly if you look at Memphis.

Seems like £20m - £30m is the new cheap if we're looking at Vardy's fee.

I'll be ok with us paying that same amount for Janssen.

Couldn't care less if the price is around 20-30 million. We've all moaned about the club sitting on a load of cash, so as long as we're not blowing our entire transfer budget on one player (sounds like we're not), the more important question is whether he's the right player. Have to be honest like many I'm on the fence but if it's him for 30 mil or the overrated Lukaku for 50 mil then I think it's the right call. Sure there are no guarantees he will replicate the goal scoring of this season, but there is no reason to think he can't do that. And he will guarantee us pace and hard work up front which is what we all want.

Sounds like we're also in for the Swiss left back, a centre back and a wide forward to replace Theo. That would be a good summer. Le Grove reckons we're after Mkhitaryan, he'd be a great signing.

34 year old Zlatan on 300k a week, now that's mental.

[Kano]

Ranieri has apparently confirmed our interest and Giroud said he heard Vardy wants to join us so all very real.

Would be surprised if this didn't happen now.

[Niall_Quinn]

Fleetwood get 25% of the transfer fee. Good for them. Looks like they'll be shopping this summer.

Gamble wise they would appear to be more equal than folk appreciate! Some are ignoring the fact Janssen could easily cost more than Vardy and yet saying '20 mill for a 29 year old'. I mean I get it but seriously, we can afford them both frankly.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Surprised Vardy was so immediately keen though by the sounds of it. Sounds like we could have easily unsettled him in January!
