I agree, I think we as a club have gone about things the right way but if the player can't make his mind up and leaves us tagging along just to sign up again with Leicester or holding out for a bigger move elsewhere based on his euro performances he can fuck right off.
He has said previously that he doesn't want to live in London hasn't he?
I don't see why Vardy couldn't work well for us? Sure, there'd be some adaptation required as the player and the team work each other out, but he looks like he scores a good variety of goals to me, not just counters, and he does well enough with the national side, which is about erratic as it gets when it comes to team mates, tactics, and playing styles?
Also, consider this... next season we'll be looking at Guardiola at City, Mouron at man u, Conte at Chelsea, Klopp after his first summer window at 'Pool, can't see Poch and spufs being any weaker, Leicester could still be a solid side, West Ham look decent under Bilic, Everton look like they're going to have increased backing and a new manager... and that's before we even think about the likes of Barca, Bayern, Madrid, etc in Europe! The point is there's gonna be a lot of tough games to come next year, where we're going to get pressed hard and deep, and will get every bit as good as good as we give - even if Vardy is all about the counters, it might not be the daftest idea in the world to invest in some players who can help us build that side of out game? I can see there being a lot of opportunity to practice it next year!
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?
Messi it is then.
He wouldn't make any difference anyway.
Giroud is 30 in september, he is currently 29

Typo - meant to say 29, but might as well consider him 30.
Point is, it's hardly a long-term set of options we'd be looking at there, so I wouldn't be surprised if there were other plans afoot, irrespective of whether Vardy joins...
See, you can speak after all.
I don't want him either given the new information, if he takes him this long to decide if he wants a move here then I hope we pursue other targets.
He's stringing us along like a bitch.
