Or would Vardy have spent most of his season on the bench and not had nearly as much impact? Probably together, Kane would have been the Okazaki of the team just slightly behind Vardy. And we often played 2 of Nugent/Ulloa/Vardy in 2014/15. Think he played number 10 a fair bit in his loan spells at different places, too.

Vardy did some of his best work early at Leicester supporting players who had less mobility than him but were considered better finishers. Particularly Nugent and Ulloa. His partnership with Nugent largely got us promoted. Kane would have thrived playing with Vards the same way he has with Son. Always thought it was stupid this obsession for England that they couldn't play together. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought it was stupid this obsession for England that they couldn't play together. 100% Kane is a great footballer coming deep and having space, Vardy stretches the pitch (Well he did). Just because it wasn't fashionable to play two forwards England missed a trick, 4-4-2 with Vardy and Kane would have worked. 49 PL goals between then in 15/16 and they played 44 minutes together in that Euros. Some how Daniel Sturridge got to play 210 minutes across England 4 games. Vardy only got 165 minutes, Kane 225 minutes. Both Kane and Vardy out scored Sturridge by 10 goals each in the PL that season. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(A little tongue in cheek - I realise that if you change things then we don’t necessarily win anything) Wouldn't believe anything that comes out of his mouth. Kane was still young and really highly rated by them so no way would they ever have considered selling for as tiny an amount as that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you listen to what he says, levy had baldini (tech director) in his ear with a poor view of Kane. He had done ok on his loans but he hardly ripped it up at us (2 in 13), orient (5 in 18), millwall (7 in 22). altogether on loan his return was 14 in 56. I’m not saying we would have got him for 600k - that’s apparently what we had bid. if spurs had decided to sell then I’m sure it would have been more than 2m asking price based on what he’d done up to the end of 2013.

This is the thing. It's not one v the other. They both should have played together. Going in Euro 2016, Kane had just scored 25 league goals and Vardy had just scored 24 league goals. It's criminal they didn't play together. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euro 2016 was a complete joke, Hodgson and Neville were like comedy double act in terms of their choices. Neville made a big statement about picking players based on ability rather than form. But if your picking players that barely kicked a ball all season then there no were near good enough. Southgate did change that when it came in World Cup in 2018 picking players who were both in form and got the ability, but he's seem to fallen back into that trap in recent times.

bmt Posted 23 March 2023 Share Posted 23 March 2023 The new bidder for Man United has seemed to use United's self reported figures on their fanbase (over 1 billion) to work out how much it would cost per fan to do complete their purchase.

Vardy did struggle to make an impact early so no guarantees anyway that he was going to settle at Premier League level but Ulloa was likely to be the early main striker. I think it is a convenient Sherwood making himself look better story. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we wouldn’t necessarily have bought Leo and given vards struggles that season, maybe we’d have moved him on ?? you can’t compare apples and oranges - it’s just interesting that we thought enough of Kane from what seemed to be a pretty poor loan spell here to make an offer for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Italians wanted England to put the ball in and then break away, its very typical of how football is played at the top level. Top teams are great at it as they have the players to do it. It looks terrible when teams like us do it as we don't have the quality to find that key pass or the speed of passing to break the lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
