He'd be the perfect Plan B striker but he's the one player who is irreplaceable for Leicester. There's no chance they sell him at this point in the window.

He'd be the perfect Plan B striker? How is he a Plan B striker when he's similar to Morata and Batshuayi? All 3 pacey strikers, have decent technical qualities but none of them offer qualities that are totally different from one another. A plan B striker at this point would be signing a big, physical striker like Llorente or Belotti.

Huh? Vardy is absolutely nothing like Morata or Bats. Vardy does almost all of his damage on counter attacks by running on to a through ball or lob into open space where he can build up a head of steam. He is totally different to our strikers.

Morata or Batshuayi can do that if needed. Heck, Pedro can also do that. Why do we even need Vardy just for that and do we really need to spend big money on a one dimensional striker?

Jamie Vardy’s age and cost fits into #Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia’s plan to run the club on a more sustainable basis. [Mirror]

 

Chelsea are preparing a double bid for Leicester duo Jamie Vardy and Danny Drinkwater.

He will cost a lot of money + he's 30.5!

All true, and I don't think we do need him. I'm just saying that I'd have him here no questions asked if possible. Can see a fresh Jamie Vardy wreaking absolute havoc on tired legs. "Plan B" if we're struggling could involve bringing on Cesc to repeatedly play balls through and over the top to a rampaging Vardy. Massive pain in the ass for opposing teams. I'm imagining sides like West Brom who will set up only to defend for 90 minutes. They'll expend so much energy that bringing on a player like Vardy would be a great weapon to have rather than a lumbering giant like Llorente.

Not that any of this discussion matters anyways because they'd never sell him with no time to replace him and we'd probably have to pay far more than he's worth even if we had bought him earlier.

If he wanted someone like him, we should have gone for Hernandez, who does similar things and is a deadly poacher inside the box.

Have to say that I'd be happy with vardy here. Think he'd do a good job and can't be any worse than batshuyia

The board clearly missed Leicester was the "hot" thing last summer, not this one

The only Leicester player with enough quality to be best XI.

If he did, and it was made public, then I don't remember it.

Jamie is a girl name and feminine sounding and trying to act tough, his parents should have named him James or Jimmy instead.

You'd better tell this to Jamie Redknap and Jamie Carragher and all the other Jamie"s out there, oh male Jamie's I mean of course.
