Jamie Vardy

Can't hold up play much? Watch Mahrez goals for Leicester and you will find that Vardy had a huge impact in them.

Don't get this version of Waclott thing at all. Walcott has proven he's not a striker and Vardy is very much a striker. Vardy doesn't go missing or get bullied out of games. They're both fast and English but thats about it.

I'm talking more in terms of keeping possession and building play before you play a final ball. We've relied heavily on Giroud and van Persie in the buildup in recent years.

We've got this guy called Ozil who I dunno seems half decent at building up play.

goon

Just means you need to transition into a quicker more direct attack.

If vardy doesn't knuckle down hell be injured in no time. To play a game every 3 days you have to be a world class athlete. Pissheads just don't recover between games and break down.

No way he's still drinking a lot, his fitness was fantastic, always kept running and fighting

He's a piss head but he had 2 days off after every game/drinking session then back into training for the next game.

2 games a week is more than twice as tough as one game every 7 days.

The issue with Vardy is that he can't really hold up play for us up front. We can't boot the ball up to him, which is why I think we'd need to play three central midfielders and four ball-playing defenders in order to accommodate him up front. We'd have to be able to deliberately build from the back on a consistent basis, and hit long balls to Alexis on the left.

Vardy's movement is excellent for our system though, I'm not sure where the concern on that front is coming from. He's a version of Walcott with better mentality, fitness, and finishing.

That is one thing we most certainly can do. Just keep booting it up there and he will chase it all day and sooner or later make something out of one of those hoofs.

Wenger doesn't sign players like that. If Vardy was that bad then people at Arsenal would know about it.

And we rarely boot it up to the guy up front anyway, Leicester have done it a lot more often so if anything he'll be a better fit if we really tried it.

Very excited about the news, big fan of Vardy. Hope he'll turn out better than the last English CF Wenger bought

Costa in 2 minds wether to continue his act or get up.

It'd be a massive failure if he's not better than Welbeck.

goon

Don't think Welbeck really counts as a centre forward, which makes the last English CF Wenger bought the one and only Franny 'fox in the box' Jeffers. He kicked Phil Neville which makes him a hard act to follow.

Qwiss

Be just as big a failure if he's as bad as Jeffers 😆

Apparently Ranieri has confirmed it is true we have activated the clause. Wow.

goon

Apparently there's nothing on the site that everyone is crediting for the original source of the Ranieri quote. Regardless, it's pretty obvious that it's true at this point.

Biggus

Who's Welbeck?

The most exciting part about all this for me is that we might be changing the way we play.
No more nonsense of holding the ball for the opposition until they decide to.take it from us and score.
I confess I haven't seen much of Shaka but by his own account this player also seems to have a very different attitude to the players "with potential" Wenger usually signs.
Hopefully these two add up to a new approach.

jones

Yeah I was talking about Jeffers.

Very excited about this transfer. Won't post on here until it's signed, sealed and delivered.

I hope this transfer falls through.
