[font=Arial, sans-serif]Understand that Arsenal have triggered the release clause in Jamie Vardy's contract. Leicester still determined to keep hold of him.[/font]

According to journalist  Stuart James.

Houseboat?

It's by a guardian journalist.

That's your opinion if you do or don't but the source isn't houseboat.

I'd happily take Vardy.

Good signing if we can follow it up with a younger prospect like Gabigol.

Could be class, but I doubt it. Massive overpay for a 30 year old one season striker who doesn't fit our style.

I'm hearing the release clause is £30m lol

He's a few months older than Van Persie when he went to United.

And the release clause is mentioned in the article at around 20m.

So I don't know what you're "hearing" Savz about the 30m.

Doesn't fit our style? He's exactly the type of striker we need. A fast and clinical player.

Dean says it's less than £20mil and deal could be completed this weekend. What a time to be alive.

Arsenal are indeed trying to sign Jamie Vardy, as 1st revealed by @StuartJamesGNM. After Cech, another hint of AW's priority being here+now

The sort of player we should be looking to sign.

Arsenal don't play counter attacking as a first option. Occasionally we might break from our own half each game, but we don't set up in order to counter attack teams except if we were to play a team such as Barcelona. He could be utalised as the perfect predator in the big CL games, but generally speaking he' doesn't suit the style we play: Slow build up with lots of passing around the box until the perfect opening arises.

Unless of course we're changing our system. Which is highly unlikely.

And it was the Independent that quoted £30m.

Less than 20m is a great deal.
