Jamie Vardy Appreciation

He wont walk away from the money here while its still on the table. He has to cough up £1.5m for Coleen Rooneys legal costs, plus hes had to pay for his wife's, you are looking at £2.5m or £5m of gross pay. Even by his standards it's extortionate.

 

I'm afraid to say this but I wouldn't be surprised within 5 years he's absolutely skint and it's his wife's fault, followed closely by him not getting shot of her. 

one in three players are divorced within a year of retirement,  40% are bankrupt within 5 years.

[Gamble92]

Compared to the absolutely disgusting money we've wasted the last year or two - having our best ever player around for another year in the dressing room on a big wage isn't an issue to me at all. 

[Poznan34]

His US team has folded

Looks like they weren't able to get any more investment from elsewhere which they needed to carry on

The RNYFC news is a shame but ultimately hardly surprising. 
 

The Dworkins did not seem like they were cut out for this kind of work and I would hope the only solace for Vardy would be that his investment in this was relatively small.

 

The whole rebrand was terrible and the stadium situation was hopeless, too. 
 

It’s sad to think that Rochester had something pretty good brewing with the Rhinos and it all went to crap so quickly—with this rebrand flaming out even quicker than the first incarnation of the team did.

[CosbehFox]

It was incredibly silly investment which had no real end goal. They alienated most of the support with the name change and elected to play in a league with 95% reserve teams.

I completely agree with this. If he had gone somewhere else and ended up scoring 15 goals there would have been uproar. You can’t predict the future and I didn’t see many people complaining at the time.

Felt like he missed about 5 clear chances in the away game at Chelsea alone

Don't know why Vardy didn't invest in local non league football, give something back to where it started for him. No idea what he's doing investing in random American teams.

Good point tbf 

[UniFox21]

Looked about as effective for us as when he first arrived. He isn't getting into any sort of threatening positions, wasn't involved in play or in disrupting their backline.

 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

He's been non existent since his missus embarrassed him at the Coleen trial 

[South Shire Fox]

I generally cannot remember a chance hes had in months barring that howler at Newcastle? Shows how bad the service is 

[Ricey]

In his defence he’s not getting any of the service that we know he loves. We don’t look for his runs so he’s going to have to create his own chances, as Iheanacho has to do, and we know that’s not his game.

[Lambert09]

I really hate to be thinking it, but everytime he comes in it feels like playing with 10 men.  It’s just not working for him anymore. 

 

I just knew we weren’t scoring when we made the subs today. 

[EnderbyFox]

Sad to see but he’s a complete waste of a sub at the minute. Came on at 66 mins, had 8 touches and made 1 successful pass. Of those 8 touches he lost the ball 5 times

Id be interested with Vards and Kel up top.

 

At this stage I am not sure we can play him as our sole striker, legend that he is

He absolutely is and still, like clockwork, on he comes every week after 60 or 70 minutes to do a bit of pointing and get caught offside. Even in comparison to the rest of our team he looks uniquely unlikely to make anything happen and yet he's still played comfortably more minutes than Daka and Iheanacho.

[Leicester_Loyal]

Wasting a sub bringing him on every week. The subs today totally killed us, this one being the main one, had nothing as soon as he came on. 

[ithuriel]

Club legend but he is done, does not seem to have the hunger and desire anymore, just coasting until retirement now it seems.

[Your Honour]

It’s sad to see such a legend restored to what he’s offering at the minute. Just runs around. Never looks like scoring. There were better options on the bench today but Brendan’s obsession to include him no matter what is frustrating.

[Gamble92]

Feel like he's got one big shithousery goal left in him for us this season

[Ian Nacho]

He really is finished. No idea why it wasn’t Iheanacho that came on. 

[lgfualol]

He's done either completely or in Brendan's system. Not sure why he is still even playing, bringing him on doesn't help us. Bren must just be trying to keep his mates happy. It's just kind of sad to see him play at the moment. 

[splinterdream]

Sherwood said today he believed we'd have got at least a draw against Chelsea if Vardy was playing. If Vardy was playing i doubt he'd have got into the positions nacho did
