Thread: If Vardy wanted to join City would you want him?

  1. #1

    If Vardy wanted to join City would you want him?

    Let’s say £10000 per week?

    He would join Wrexham before of course.

    I wouldn't wish to inflict on him a lack of supply and no-one who can create penetrative passes on a regular basis.

    The question was “if he wanted to join Cardiff”

    We need a midfield first to play the passes to him

    Of course. Who wouldn't at this level? He'll get at least £25k somewhere in the Championship. Easily.

    Re: If Vardy wanted to join City would you want him?

    I very much doubt whether any league 1 footballer is on as little as 1000 per week. Vardy would command much more than that.

    The guy is a cock . That's the only reservation I hold.

    Of course! He scored, what, a dozen goals in the premier league last season

    WTF?!?

    As a free transfer he will be getting silly money. 1k????, 10k, 25k. And the rest. His bird still got a court case to pay for.

    Re: If Vardy wanted to join City would you want him?

    He came within a whisker of joining City when he went to Leicester. His non league club had agreed the transfer fee with both us and Leicester and both clubs had agreed wages with him. He simply chose Leicester as they were nearer to his home.

    Steve, the reason that he chose Leicester was that he wanted to be near, IIRC, his son who lived in Sheffield with his mother.

    Yes. I was speaking to him two years ago, NB, and he told me.

    Re: If Vardy wanted to join City would you want him?

    ok ignoring the fact that he will be getting a lot more money than that.

    And ignoring the fact that we've been burnt several times before by that kind of deal - Ramsey, Fowler etc. He would almost certainly get a hamstring injury almost immediately due to our training methods.

    And we haven't shown any aptitude over recent years to play in a way that would suit Vardy's abilities

    And that is the one position that we are relatively well stacked - Salech, Robinson, Davies all should be good at this level.

    Even after all that - yeah I'd probably take him - the guys still quality and it would be a bit of fun.
    You know in the long run it'd be more trouble than it's worth, but it might be fun for a while - like getting off with the receptionist at the work Christmas party.

    Re: If Vardy wanted to join City would you want him?

    In all seriousness out of all the 72 EFL clubs why would Jamie Vardy say to himself - "I really fancy playing for that sleeping giant down in South Wales, I will move 180 miles to play for a well run club with a happy and unified support and a proven quality experienced manager"

    We might as well say if Ronaldo fancied playing down the CCS would you want him...?

    plus we have, as detailed earlier, too many of these examples - I still shiver at the Micky Burns episode! Never mind Fowler and of course he who cannot be criticised....

    We'd only ship him out on loan to Belgium

    Jamie Vardy wouldn't be getting any Hamstring injuries, he would train when he liked, probably turn up on a Thursday, do a bit of finishing and stretching, see you Saturday. Nobody at this level would tell him how he should train or manage his body, the man would do whatever he wanted to do, and rightly so.

    Apologies. Failing eyesight and reading from my phone. For 10000 I read 1000.

    We do love an over the hill marquee signing that will spend the entire season injured while picking up massive wages
