He missed a penalty last season that cost his team. Instead of going for the post match team talk he skipped out to get to a Beyonce concert on time. He might have found a bit of form but he is injury prone and unprofessional and it will probably all fall apart soon.

Well, one concert in ten years as a professional is hardly worth a hanging.

Anyway, all of my points still stand. He got accused of being unprofessional at one club in his entire life, because of one solitary incident and as soon as he moved, nothing was ever heard about again. 

And he isn't injury prone anymore; the proof is in the pudding.

It doesn't mean that he's unprofessional....just that he has shit taste in music.

Beyonce is brilliant live, to be fair.

Well we can only go off limited reports.Corinthians were happy to be rid of him, the supports clubs all hated him and booed him. Hes hitting a bit of form now at new contract time.

You had a lot of faith in Ballo coming good. Athough Pato isn't as bad as Ballo I still think he'll flop in england.

Win some, lose some.

You certainly won't find a better striker in january for the price pato will go for.

Wenger really missed a trick two summers ago, but that's how he is these days. He bought Alexis and was content. Then, spends a month and a half getting more money out of Sociedad for Vela without putting Griezmann into the equation. Infuriating to think we could have had him for an absolute pittance then.

Linked with Mahrez again. I'd really like us to sign him

Double swoop, Mahrez and Vardy. That'd be great.

Yeah, taking a punt on Vardy, despite being 29 in January, could be a gamble well worth taking at a decent price. Apart from all his obvious abilities, he also seems to always be available. Doesn't seem to have missed many games in the last three or four years.

Vardy's been a bit like Aubameyang this season, worth making a bid.

He has some genuine class qualities too; his pace and acceleration are both top, his first touch is excellent, he shoots well with either foot, and his work rate is admirable. You have other players, like Ighalo for instance, who have scored quite a few goals, but look nothing special.

Or, we could 'just' make a big bid for Kane. He is, unfortunately, going to continue to score a lot of goals.

kane will go to united sooner or later. rooneys basically done, and their silly money will tempt levy

Perhaps.

Looks that way to me too. Spurs love giving United their best players. Think Kane will be a moderate flop at a big club though.

Yeah, Kane is mediocre as fuck and as mobile as an oil tanker. Hodgson should play Vardy up front, not much of a footballer either but mobile and hard working, not a glory hog like the ugly Spud too

Think Kane is a good footballer. He integrates really well with his team mates, and often drops deeper to create overloads. Good at holding the ball up too, shoots well with both feet, and moves really well. He is no flash in the pan I'm afraid.

Vardy, on the other hand, is really taking advantage of playing for a team which doesn't really have a possession game; he gets to play on the counter attack all the time, and that is what he seems to thrive at. Playing for a better side would ask some interesting questions of him.

There's one guy like Vardy every season. He's been doing extremely well but he's never going to play and perform in a top club.

Mahrez looks like the real key player for Leicester every time I see them play. His skill set and age would make him an attractive transfer target if the price is reasonable.
