Jamie Vardy has delayed a decision over whether or not to join Arsenal until after the Euros. Will Arsenal wait? #afc #lcfc

I'd give an ultimatum to be honest, don't think it's good for either club to wait a month for a decision imo

Di Marzio says we have made an approach for Matic whilst also mentioning the Eric Balley story.

Interesting one that Klopp was at the Argentina game sat next to Higuain's brother/agent and left after Higuain was subbed off.

I would have liked him at United, but with Ibrahimovic arriving (that might be announced today) it looks very doubtful.

He wasn't sat next to his agent

Looking increasingly like Vardy may have snubbed Arsenal anyway.

Isn't John Cross the one you guys all trust?

He's a moron. Ornstein is probably the most trustworthy, Jeremy Wilson & Matt Law are also pretty decent. I'd expect Hodgson wants this to be over ASAP tbh

You should watch the goals he's scored this season, not every one has been on the counter and there's been a lot of variety.

Then watch United at home and you can see how he'd fit in easily imo

Bit better than 1 in 3, it's not horrific it's just not at the Aguero/Suárez-level. My point is he's significantly better than Walcott - Arsenal should still be trying to improve on Giroud - but Vardy replacing Walcott is a more significant upgrade.

Vardy is a huge upgrade on all of our strikers. We don't need a Giroud-esque striker unless it's an impact sub.

Don't get me wrong I think he is a one season wonder too but there must be something that caught Arsene's eye. This isn't Brendan Rodgers buying him, this is one of the Prem's best ever managers whose only bought flops when they were low cost. £20m for the top scorer of the League champions is worth the risk though, I agre

And yeah, we did well in the big games and struggled massively against the shitter teams, the complete opposite of the usual.

Idk what's going to happen though, I hope it pays off though. We seem to have had a focus on buying characters as well as just footballers as well. Xhaka is a born leader and Vardy is a vile bastard.

As soon as you start doing that its a dangerous game. For example take out Vardy's 13 in 11, we all know it was a purple patch and won't be repeated, then his goal return is 11 goals in 25 games which is alright, but barely an improvement on whoever you're moaning about in that post (I know its one of Giroud or Walcott but yeah).

Genuine question, if he scores 15 goals all comps next season would you be happy with that or are you expecting more?

Someone posted a pie chart on reddit which showed that the teams Vardy scored against were of all qualities, not just flat track bullying. Getting a hat trick on the last day of the season against the side that finished bottom and have been relegated for a while is deserved to be taken out though imo in Giroud's case.

Realistically I think any striker worth their salt should be getting at least 20 League goals for us considering the talent surrounding them. As a minimum I think we need our first choice striker hitting 17/18 goals in the League, Giroud hopefully around 12 and Alexis 15/16. I'm really not sure what to expect with Vardy, I don't think he'll get less than 10 in the League but that would be a failure in my eyes.

I've said before, I don't trust Arsene much these days but if he buys a player for £20m or more I'm trusting in his judgement completely. He wouldn't sign a 29 year old striker for that much if he didn't think he could be a huge success here.

Yeah but at least he actually scores goals.

Take out his hat trick against Villa he got 13 in 37 games. Fucking atrocious. Will have a good Euros though, think he fits tournament football.

I'm not entirely convinced by it for Arsenal, but I was thinking about it earlier and for all the flaws he's a clear upgrade on Walcott. He's everything Walcott is supposed to be but a bit older, and a massive racist.

This is basically Arsene's last season and I think he's going all out for it. He's talked constantly about South American strikers for the past two years and I think a Sheffield Chav who was playing non-League not too long ago is the closest you're gonna get to a fighter mentality in England.

Also linked with Mkhitaryan, could be a front three of Alexis, Vardy & Mkhitaryan with Özil behind. If Vardy reaches 3/4 of the form he did last season he could get near 20 goals easy. Giroud contributing double digits and however many Alexis can get and there's enough firepower to win the League there.

His goals last season had a bit of variety to them when you watch them back. We played our best football last season with fucking Theo up front who can't control a ball to save his life so I'm not really surprised.

AS are reporting that we're very close to buying Eric Bailly from Villarreal.

He's supposedly one of the most promising centre backs in the world.

He was quality against Liverpool imo

Eh. Its a little bit like the ongoing debate in cricket at the minute with regards to Alistair Cook and Jimmy Anderson. Where they're two fine players, but their records, largely, are so good because of their injury records and length of time in the game.

Giggs might never have been the best player in a side, but he was a key contributor for the best part of 20 years in a variety of positions in one of the most successful club sides of all time, you can't really argue against that.

Yeah of course. His longevity and contributions is good, but in terms of pure ability he's never been that good
