Franny Jeffers.
It'll be his first and last big move though. And to secure the maximum amount of money.
He'd probably bite their hand off.
In a sense, I defo agree ... I also think he'll be hurting himself professionally here.
However, Arsenal are a much bigger team and he's just done really really well this year and wants to test himself in a team whose top striker goes missing 6 months a year.
I'm just happy the horrible cunt isn't coming to us. I'm not sure how I would handle seeing someone I detest play for the red men.
Quite. It makes me wonder what's prompted Wenger to go in for him.
How many times do we see a striker leave a team geared up for him to a team where he's a bit part player though, where he doesn't get the same chances, and then gets written off. I see today there's rumors that Real and Barca are in for him. Now that's a chance from the Non league to La Liga.
Ah no Red, you can't just have a team of players you love. I was never mad about Souey but appreciated the job he did on the field.
Real and Barça? Whoever started those rumours done smoked some baaaaaaaaaaaaad sh!t, man.
the season 15/16? where he bagged 24 goals and was names POTY?
if Arsenal get just 1 season close to that then it's money well spent imo.
Soz man. I have a personal hatred towards him. He racially abused a Japanese dude. I saw the footage and to me that's it. I realise that he was probably pissed but I don't care. I also realise that I'm not Japanese but I have a wired in love of all things Nihon-Jin. He has a cunt like face too (there's an image) - He's a cunt. Souey was not.

Not if it doesn't lead to them winning anything it ain't, especially not at Vardy's age, besides which macca's post just before mine explained why even that one season is unlikely anyway. Even the best players aren't necessarily suited to every club.
Seriously weakens the team that came above them as well.
A sudden realisation 10 years too late that he needs to spend some money on established players, probably. It'll go tits up. If we look at Vardy's record and his age, everything has just gone for him over the last couple of years, but we've seen players do this before, people like Kevin Phillips for instance. He scored in the lower league but only really had two big seasons in the Premiership where he was banging them in for fun and looked the real deal. But he was also tailor made for their team and for his partnership with Quinn. I can see Vardy going a similar way. There's no doubt he's a good player, but it's all coming together a bit late for him.
I doubt a man who was working in a factory a few years ago sees it as coming too late. He's won the league title, he's off to the Euros in the Ing ur lund squad and he's being offered120K a week and a four year deal at the age of 29. What's not to like?
I can't see Arsenal suddenly playing long balls over the top for Vardy to run on to. Odd transfer if it happens in my opinion. Vardy would be mad to turn them down on a personal level though.
There were tons of rumors yesterday (saw on 101gg) that Vardy would be 1 of 2 Leicester players joining Arsenal in the summer ... Vardy & Kante/Mahrez if true.
He couldn't spend a lot of money 10 years ago. He had to sell before he signed players because almost all the money had to be used to pay for the new stadium. It is only the last few years that he could spend a lot of money on new players. What Wenger did at Arsenal during the time they built the stadium is fantastic. Qualified for the CL every season even that they didn't had the finances to compete at the top.
Since he got a lot of money to spend he started to sign top class players like Özil and Sanchez.
Nothing from Vardy's own point of view, but I don't think that's what mark's referring to. The point mark's making, with which I for one agree, is that it's quite likely come too late to have successful consequences and may well end up the same way Kevin Phillips' career did.
Quite strange what happened with Phillips. He had a few great seasons at Sunderland, and one brilliant Premiership campaign, but he never really managed it again.
Nothing happened to him, he was just already old when he left Sunderland, and got even older as he went from club to club.
I meant how he went from the Golden Boot and 30 Premiership goals, to then scoring half that (and declining) in the following seasons. He was only about 27 when he won The Golden Boot. OK, so he scored 14 or 15 Premiership goals the next season, which is OK, but it still seems a steep decline.
