[Albion] If Jamie Vardy played for the Albion …..

[Herr Tubthumper]

Top quality striker.

Who cares about who his wife is. Just don't read tabloids if it upsets you.

What a career he has had

Of course you have to consider the wife…and all the baggage and circus she brings with her.

 

[Weststander]

Still such an effective forward, the movement and unrelenting pressing of our defenders/Verbruggen. Forcing hoofs.

I’d welcome him.

If you avoid the tabloids, you never get to hear about her.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Her court case made the broadsheets and tv outlets like the BBC. It even made the press here. There’s no escaping her!

That’s done n dusted. It didn’t and doesn’t stop the player being highly effective.

You literally hear about her at every Leicester game

 

[LamieRobertson]

I think you can only admire his longevity and ability on a football pitch..not sure really where the OP is coming from on this one

 

[hart's shirt]

4 years older than Welbeck and turning 38 next month, Vardy's still a top finisher, a natural predator who can change a game's trajectory in a single moment.

Artists' intelligence are found in their brushstrokes, musicians their lyrics and sounds, footballers their foot-eye coordination.

On the field in his workplace and field of expertise, he's so smart in reading the game and finding space, even as Old Father Time threatens his pace.

He's shown that it's still possible to come through despite being rejected at 16 by the club he supports - Sheffield Wednesday. (Massive mistake.)

6 goals already this season, he'll end up comfortably with double figures, as he's done in 7 of the 8 previous EPL seasons. The effort's still there.

Admittedly he's had a few off-field problems of his own in the past without needing to reference his wife here. He's always had an edge to him.

But even with all that, he's easily been much more of an asset than a liability. The kind of rough diamond that home fans will take to their hearts.

He'd never come, we don't need him and it doesn't fit the Albion model, but quality should always be recognised regardless of tribalism or snobbery.

I remember Dunk naming him as one of the hardest strikers to play against ..if I recall correctly “he’s so pesky”

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Watching a 38 year old Vardy chase lost causes yesterday shows he is up for the fight. Made the most of his talent and career.

I wouldn't want a pint with him but I reckon he grounds some of the characters in the Leicester dressing room where it's been too easy for them.

I have standards, and a bloke who drinks 3 cans of Red Bull for breakfast and looks like steptoe with a Gypsy haircut falls below them.

Quite a different character to Welbeck, Milner, Veltman, or Dunk, but someone I'm certain Facu is learning lots from!

Err, twice a season assuming they stay up - it's not the Leicester fans who sing "your wife is a grass" is it?

Game recognises game.

I saw her on a programme about Jehovah's Witnesses (she used to be one) and she came over very well

I dont go to Leicester away

For the best really

 

[FCB]

Not really followed or watched him that much since Leicester's PL winning season but it's hard not to respect his career. Not many players his age are still doing it at this level.

Don't know much about his personal life so can't comment on that.

 

[tstanbur]

He’s one of those players where if he’s one of yours you love him because he’s winding up opposition and fans, and doing whatever he can to give himself/his team an advantage, but everyone else hates him. Like Maupay and to a lesser extent Veltman.

Hypothetically, obviously, if he did the business I’d have no problems.

I don't think Vardy is universally "hated" anywhere near as much as you're suggesting.

I certainly don't "hate" him or even dislike him.

Big respect for his ability and what he's achieved in the game.

The ultimate underdog.
