1. I wonder how leicester will react to us paying the fee
2. I wonder if Wenger going for it in the short term mean he's retiring next year?
3. It's going to be funny watching Vardy not get 80% of the penalties he got this year and then the media subsequently calling him a diving cheat just because he's in an Arsenal shirt now.


As you say Arsenal will need to change their style if they want to expolit Vardy's strengths and if they get him I'm sure they will.

however

1. Saying you'll pay the fee is not actually paying the fee
2. Vardy won't join Arsenal but it doesn't surprise me that some "big team" fans think he will.
3. They'll not call him any more of a cheat than they do playing for Leicester - for a start all those Arsenal fans won't. :lol:

If he goes good luck to him but I don't see any chance he'll leave. He's achieved cult status at Leicester and is thriving in the glory.

If he goes it would mean others may follow I'm much more worried about losing Kanté and Mahrez than Vardy. We can find another Vardy more easily IMO.

Oh I forgot. Leicester has so much money too :D

You do realise that some of the Leicester players live further away than the 2 hours it takes to get to London don't you?

How do you know what success they can repeat? Did you know they were going to run away with the league this year?

Leicester has money - did you know that?

But most of all maybe every player isn't like you would be, maybe they are happy being paid an incredible wage and playing in a team where they are having fun.

unlike you I would be surprised if more than 1 of the principal players left the club this season and maybe none.


No idea what you are talking about. Too much beer?

These are star players. They had a great fairytale this season. They are famous. They want to go out clubbing, partying. They are suppose to take their cars to go to London and come back in 4 hours or so?

Your coach said, his goal is to finish top 10 next season. Ask your coach.

Leicester has money. Yes. But London clubs have a lot more.


It doesn't look like Vardy is leaving. You really shouldn't react so quickly to newspaper reports it makes you seem a bit silly.

Why do people call Vardy and Wilshere racists?

I know the Vardy stuff(which didnt even make Okazaki angry btw) But what has Wilshere done?

I don't think Vardy is racist. He's just not very well educated. There was no malicious intent.

There's plenty of things to dislike about Wilshere (mostly involving his off-pitch conduct and incidents), but I don't recall racism being among them. My memory might be fuzzy on that.

PL thread is on the way, btw.

Could someone explain why Mkhitaryan would want to leave Dortmund? Is he angling for an improved deal or something? Might just be tabloid fluff.

Because he is tired of being second place. And his team won't be able to challenge first place at least another 3-4 years. Some people are just not happy when their team finish in top 4 man. Some players want to win.

I think it's because of these comments:

But what is really wrong with that? He is spot on.

2-0 record and 100% win ratio in World Wars to be fair. Maybe it was that he meant.

If you count penalty shootouts as draws then they havent lost that many games over the years.

Is this before or after Turkey win the Euro finals?

If you're right we'll just have to make do with Musa and Slimani leading the line and Mendys and Brahimi feeding them. :wink:

Bro it's alright. You are new. You'll understand how this place works. Just one thing, %99 of the time, you don't go against me. So this kind of embarrassing moments will not happen again. I told you many times that they will rip your team apart. You said London is 2 hours away, we have lots of money and players are so happy to be here :D

But you are wrong so often. :D

You told me that Vardy had already left.

And that Turkey would beat England

Cant argue against Massimo HIF. He correctly predicted that Inter is gonna win the Serie A with world class DM Felipe Melo.
