Well no shit given he hasn't decided to join us yet.
Cross is an idiot.

Slightly worrying that we're having trouble attracting a player from Leicester City. We don't seem to have a Real Madrid aura about us these days. No fucking way would I turn down Arsenal if I was in his position. Especially as it's the club I support.

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.

Thing is at Leicester it's not going to get any better than it currently is. Legends for life at the club but they aren't going to defend the title and given his limited years left, the opportunity won't be plentiful. Apparently the contract clauses at the club come with a few conditions, timing being one them, I guess to allow the club enough time to get in replacements. So if he doesn't take this chance he may well have to wait until next summer for another one. He had a lookalike in Leicester who was making a bit of money until recently but that guy has been told in no short terms by his agent not to cross the line and 'damage' Vardy's brand. So he's obviously ruthless and looking at the money he can make of his image right now, a more prestigious club can surely only enhance that worldwide. Also the rumour was that this transfer had been kicking around for a couple of weeks before it became public. For all we know the decision could already be made but maybe kept quiet so Leicester can get a replacement onboard. Who knows.Originally Posted by Marc Overmars
We are not a draw and have little to offer that Leicester can't. If this does not come off, we are probably going to have to take a risk in the European market.
We desperately need to strengthen our striking capability but as has been mentioned already, it won't be enough because our biggest weakness by far isn't even on the pitch.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
Holy shit, really hits home that
Yeah man, I've finished Uni, moved to London, moved back to Southend, gone from a junior to a senior member of staff, bought and renovated a house, settled down with the missus and become a Dad since we last won the league!

Congrats mate!
We should've won it atleast 3 times in the period, but it is what it is, tactics/lack of signings let us down as per usual.
Was about to say it may have more to with him being loyal to Leicester than being about us not being a main draw, but then I thought about our record again.
It depends what Leicester have offered him contract wise, whatever we say about chances of winning etc that's essentially what players consider above all else.
