Yes, and (incredible as it may seem) I can see it lasting even longer! This isn't some regular "form" we're talking about here mind. He's one goal in their next game from breaking the great Ruud Van Nistelrooy's record. If he does manage to do this - I don't think it'll be broken in quite some time. I'd definitely take him there. If you don't take Vardy to the Euro's what's the point? If he'd been our player I'm sure you'd take him if you had the power to do so? Weren't you banging the drum on here then regarding Matthew Etherington getting into the England side a good couple of years back, mate? It might do but even it does it's still 1 season. We have four strikers who are better players than him and over time deserve to go over him? He might get a shot as a winger? Not necessarily because I think Rooney, Kane, Welbeck, Sturridge, Walcott, Chambo and Sterling are better. Not banging a drum but he deserved a go like Vardy has. But should he go the Euros if all of the above are fit? No. Like mentioned earlier - his role different last season and the ones before that (and still, have a look at his stats). I'd take him over Kane every day and even though it would be a tough call - I'd probably take him over Welbeck as well, at least how things look at the moment.

People from Leicester have fucking silly accents and heads the size of medicine balls. Just heard one on the radio saying that they're gonna win the league and he was not a young lad and he was deadly serious. Leicester my arse.

It's funny but fans of smaller clubs don't like to see others doing well, I'm sure it would be the same if the boot was on the other foot. Suppose it is jealousy.

Scored 14 in a season a few years ago and that's the only time he's reached double figures. If he is fit, he is a decent player but how often does that happen? I'm not saying Vardy is a world great, but I think he stands up pretty well in comparison to his competition for the England squad.

I think its fucking brilliant; ultra unfashionable midlands side top of the lot of us, only a month before xmas! We can all dream LOL! Seriously anything they can do so can we but take nothing off them; Vardy is the epitome of where hard work with moderate skill can take you - Shearer built a career off it, couldn't dribble, not blessed with great pace but worked his balls off and had that instinctive eye for goal. Really thought Ranieri would fuck them up but what do I know. If we have a tiny tinge of envy, just think how Villa fans must feel. Hee Hee Lol... Comparing Vardy to Shearer, my word.

I would! EDIT: On a more serious note - I reckon Klopp could be interested maybe? For 3 months worth of form? It's a lot of money. I actually agree with you.... For once.

Context is probably important. To spend £10 mill (or whatever it really was) on a 31 YO player like Crouch would probably be poor businesses for us now. When we bought him he probably raised our profile and guaranteed us goals in the short term to ensure survival. I can't really remember our situation at the time we bought him; not really relevant to this discussion. I hope Vardy goes on and on, not because I like Leicester but because I like the idea that a footballer who has not been manufactured can make it; unfortunately I don't think he will. I always thought it was mental. I hope he falls flat on his arse........ I'm a twat! I bet that is the only thing you have ever said, where the whole message board totally agrees with you.

Liverpool will buy Vardy for £40,000,000 in January, possibly giving them Ings in exchange. These days, they only exist to sign the most in form English attacker for a ridiculously inflated sum.

For 3 months. It doesn't but there's last season where he didn't look anything great and had those attributes, he wasn't worth 5m now this. Bit crazy. Great? Nah. If all of our strikers are fit for the Euros I wouldn't even take him there. And I can see Woy doing the same. His form stretches over 22 games, his stats are ludicrous over that time. Also last season he played a slightly different more supporting role for Ulloa (look at his assist stats last season) this season he's the focal point instead. He always takes a bit of time to adjust to his new level, understandable considering he rose through the leagues so quickly. It happened in the Championship as well. He can't continue at this level, but he's going to carry on doing well as he has the assets to do so. Will he leave... 29 in the new year and would take £15-£25m+ to get him from us. Wouldn't be shocked if he stayed. Nobody is daft enough to pay that imo.

There's no way that Jamie Vardy goes to the Euros over Kane if Kane is fit, not a cat in hells chance. Welbeck has been excellent for Woy for England too, he deserves to go. If Sturridge struggles that might be his chance.

He's been excellent for him, that will be rewarded. Sturridge has and I think that's where his chance might come but even then I can see Andy Carroll going ahead of him! Not that I'd agree with that. Chambo is a better winger. Walcott imo will go if fit. They're all better players who will be further ahead in Woy's plans.

Encouraging in a way i.e. If they can do it, anyone can
and their striker having a truly amazing run of form, is all about pace
and a few injuries will soon slow him, down
it will be very interesting to see if 'bigger fish' come hunting for him in January too
amazing achievement though -- to be fair
cant stand the club though !

Nice to see Huth hasn't lost that cynical & aggressive edge to his game at Leicester. Gave Newcastle's Mitrovic a good old fashioned 'throat shove' yesterday. Mitrovic went down like a sniper had put a round in his chest. Then minutes later Huth committed another foul to earn a yellow card. I love that man, he's a dirty bastatd, but I love him !!

Hodgson has been clear that he doesn't intend to take injured players. Welbeck looks like missing out. Sturridge is back now but still has to prove form and fitness. Kane and Rooney will go,Walcott may get as he can play two positions. Vardy has every chance of going.

What Leicester did to Newcastle, we could off done the other week if it wasn't for a combination of the players knackered from league cup and not creating enough in final 3rd. It's somewhat reassuring the manner of our win at Southampton, seeing more players and more movement in the final 3rd and keeping another clean sheet.
You can see a lot of similarity's with us and Leicester, Shame we ain't got a number 9 bang in form.

Interesting when you look at it they are 9 points ahead of us, now had we held on to that 2-0 lead against them at the Brit the gap would be 6 points. And 6 points is what we wasted in the home games against WBA and Watford.
I know...if you're auntie was a man she'd be your uncle and all that but it is thin margins and leaves you ruing those results a bit.

If they're still top at New Year, I'll be very impressed given their fixtures for the rest of 2015: Man Utd (H) Swansea City (a) Chelsea (H) Everton (a) Liverpool (a) Man City (H) Let's see what happens... I reckon they will get less than six points out of that lot , which will be a leveller ! Their luck will run out at some point , and believe me when you disect their games they have had it in spades , good luck to them though , but it won't last !

Only Woy and Bayern could find a reason not to play the most exciting English forward(at the pr esent time), in the Euro finals. If Vardyhas a lean streak he will end the seaso with 18 goals. Wellbeck has scored goals in the weakest qualifying group we have ever been in and has been injured for how long? Ditto Sturridge.Walcott is Vardy but at a "big" club. If Vardy doesn't go, then clearly form counts for nothing

Welbeck is nowhere near good enough to play for england anyway, and i am not sure he has a place to give away. Vardy deserves a start in a friendly but he must take his chance, and i am not convinced he is nothing more than reserve at international level at best.

It's never worked like that, it never will. He will go if one of those are injured. Otherwise I just can't see it, they are better players. Form counts for very little, in my time supporting England that's always been the case! And on the whole correctly so. He's got a shot of going because of it but even someone like Andy Carroll if he can get 10 stands more of a chance.

If Welbeck is fit he will go, Woy love him and he's been good for him and he trusts him. That overrides form. Walcott is a better player but he is one Vardy could supercede.

Sorry if it's already been said ......look at the teams they gave played so far and only top six teams are Arsenal who stuffed them 5-2 and Spurs 1-1 both at home. 5 of their next 6 are vs Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Liverpool and Everton. Good luck to them but can't see them sustaining current form and results much longer TBH.
