At 29 years old, I'm not convinced he'd be our only striker signing anyway? Working on the assumption that this would pretty much spell the end of Walcott's Arsenal career, then our CF options would be...

Vardy, 29
Giroud, 30 (31 in September!)
Welbeck, 25

...to be honest, I'm not expecting to see Welbeck back until well into 2017, and it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if we didn't see him in any meaningful way until the 2017/18 season, so I just don't see how Vardy could be the solution on his own. Feels more like a bit of opportunism after finding out about his release clause, that could end up being cost-neutral if we can shift Theo on?
