Jamie Vardy - BBC Sport - Vardy set to reject Arsenal

[Marc Overmars]

Given how tight fisted we've been in the past I don't really care about the cost.

If Vardy is the man Wenger wants, then pay up and get on with it. This club fleeces it's fans so at the very least I'd prefer to see that money on the pitch rather than in the bank.

WengSmaug out!

Seems that Giroud has read this thread.

He's scored, boo him!

There was paper talk in January about the chavs taking a punt on him, so why shouldn't we do the same? We have lacked that bite up front for too long now, let's give the guy a chance.
If we don't get him now and he rips up the Euros, then moves for bigger money we'd all be sat here thinking if the what ifs.
20mil for vary, or 50mil for a Torres type flop. I know which I'd rather take a punt on.

I just keep thinking Francis Jeffers with this one...but hoping it will turn out completely differently. We have lacked someone up front with the passion to close down and run down the space and finish consistently...when Welbeck game back, we saw what we'd been missing, but obviously he is basically out for the entirety of next season. If Vardy's release clause is 20million and we get him for that, I would think it a good buy. He will teach our youngsters a thing or two about hard work as well - and that is definitely something his age counts for..plus the road he took to get to where he has.
We need 4 good strikers going into next season. Giroud, Vardy, ......, Sanchez. I would absolutely love Morata in an Arsenal shirt. Not too sure how likely that is now, but he is definitely going to be one of the top 5 strikers of his generation and we should go all out to sign him. Aubemeyang would also have been a good fit but he only wants Madrid move, would cost more and has the AcON every other year too.

Yeah that's precisely what I was thinking too, that was a weird signing too.

[Letters]

We have as well Sanogo who can't play there.

Fixed your typo.

[Letters]

That was a weird signing but Vardy has just been one of the top scorers in the league for the team who won the title.
I'm not bothered about his age, for £20m it's a snip even if we only get 4 or 5 seasons out of him, the one season wonder thing bothers me more but, again, at £20m it's worth a punt.

You are joking ! Jeffers was fucking shite!! Vardy is miles better!
