Jamie Vardy - BBC Sport - Vardy set to reject Arsenal

[selassie]

Sign of the times I guess. We might have a lot of history but Vardy was 17 when we last won the title. We are perceived very differently now and it's just something we have to accept until we achieve something good enough to alter that perception.

I reckon he'd be long gone if it was City who made the offer but it's us, a club stuck in a perennial state of stagnation.

Yep, especially the part highlighted, I think if City or United were in for him he'd be long gone.

They're not going to repeat it though, are they?
EDIT: That was at PnG.

Sad thing is they probably have as much chance of winning it again as we do winning it.

[Marc Overmars]

He's just come off a title win with Leicester City and it sounds like we need him more than he needs us. He'll have to come up with more than the promise of a title challenge.

Reportedly he wants assurances of being first choice. It's quite feasible that Wenger would put him on the wing and persist with Giroud in the centre.

Nah.

They’re not favourites but neither are we. Unless we’re offering a massive contract that Leicester can’t top, I can’t see why he’d risk the wrath of the Leicester fans just to make this move.

Which is something else he has to consider.

[Power n Glory]

If we really want him, we'll have to offer him really good wages. Something Leicester won't match.

Who would have believed 10 years ago we were finding it hard to sign someone from Leicester, I don't particularly want him here however it does how our stock has fallen due to lack of success, like someone else said it this had been Man U, Chelsea or Man City he'd be gone like a shot.

If you want evidence of how our performance in the last 10 years affects us, here it is plain as day.

I actually agree, I don't think he'll move either but I can see why he might be tempted to.
