Just announced, Vardy agrees a new deal with Leicester. A terrific display of loyalty from Jamie, and a great British footballing success story. Bad luck gooners. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36606270 |

Sensible decision, I suspect he knows, deep down, that he may be a one-season wonder and probably better to be that in a team that overall does less well next season - therefore less "spotlight" - than under the media glare of playing in front of a much bigger home crowd and one desperate for success of some sort

Bad luck gooners. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36606270It's great for Leicester he is staying but loyalty my arse he signed an £80k per week contract in February and is now only turning down £120k per week because Leicester have upped his contract by £20k per week barely 3 months later, loyalty would have been to come straight out and reject a move. |

He has made the correct decision in terms of football, his career, common sense and loyalty. The only thing he's missing out on is a big pay rise, but I'm sure that £100,000 a week will soon settle any financial worries.
He probably looked at the England squad, wondered where Walcott, Chamberlain and Welbeck were, twigged that joining Arsenal would effectively kill his career and opened negotiations with Leicester.

Wouldnt have blamed him at all if he'd gone to Arsenal. At 29 maybe his only chance to go and get a contract worth that much and play for one of the top teams. In terms of footballing matters, though, staying is the right decision. Couldn't see him working at Arsenal

"Loyalty would have been to come straight out and reject a move"...do you know anything about football in today's age exactly? Both Jack (recently) and Ryan (a while back) have negotiated extensions which led to wage increases...strange you didn't slate their lack of loyalty then eh?  Vardy was their top scorer and one of the main reasons they just won the Premiership trophy, he therefore asks for a bit more (but not as much as Arsenal are willing to offer him) to remain. what's wrong with that exactly? pretty much exactly what ANYONE on here would do if they were top performer at their company and were being head hunted by someone else (in fact no actually it isn't as most would just go to the highest bidder full stop i.e. Arsenal in this case). a footballer does it though and automatically he's some disloyal mercenary. Ludicrous |

If he stays there for the rest of his career in the top flight he will be looked upon as one of their biggest legends! In an Arsenal team that would never be the story!  |

Arsenal are in general a bigger club than Leicester and I don't think Leicester will get close to emulating what they've done this season, whereas Arsenal will annoyingly linger around the top couple of places and finish top 4 again, so looking beyond what went on last season it would have been a move to a top team |

Good on him, to be honest 100k is more than enough, hes hardly going to miss the extra 20k a week - hes made for life whatever happens.
He made the right decision for his career and football in general, so a round of applause from me.

He didn't just say no though mate He went back to Leicester who renegotiated his contract and offered him £100k per week over 4 years If they'd said no he would of signed for Arsenal ....fair play to him as they all do it but let's not dwell on the staying loyal bollocks |

The second Ryan isn't fit for purpose anymore people on here will be calling for us to get rid - likely the same ones bollocking Arnie for not signing his contract. |

An additional 4 years... Wasn't he already contracted until 2019? Have they given him a contract till age 36?
Not sure why everyone is making out like he's being loyal here, he's being offered a lot of money for a long, long time.

Sensible decision if you ask me.
We saw what Vardy brings to the table the other night when you don't play to his strengths, and Arsenal don't or wouldn't so I think he's made the right choice and it would have been right at the front of his mind as well when making his decision.
