I've never seen Sterling have a good game and I really don't rate him. You need to watch more football! Fortunately I have a life and although I watch plenty of football I also find time to do things like wanking,drinking and watching reality telly

That was utter wank from Vardy then! His goal was quality. Looks like he's had another good game today. He definitely should have played Mahrez in though. Harold!!!!!

Who had shown what he was capable of for many years and at several clubs and at the highest level....£10 mill for a 31 year old Crouch or a 28 year old Vardy? Crouch for me. I agree but the correct is neither, it's fucking bonkers and football should be shut down if he does go for 7 figures! 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.

Vardy is at least a £20M striker.
That clown playing CB for Man Citeh was something like £40M. That prat upfront for the cartoon army was £15M.
Leicester are two injuries(any two from Huth, Vardy, Kante and Mahrez) away from a long losing run.

If Kane, Rooney, Sturridge and Welbeck are fit he probably doesn't even go the Euros!

18 goals in 47 prem games would suggest he is a pretty decent player.
He is playing for a very average team; not one of the big boys.
In the current transfer market £20M really isn't that much

Just a championship side with an in form striker! I'd take it over a premiership team with no striker.

The league knows what he's capable of. His understanding of the game along with his work rate doesn't change by form. A great player. 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. 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?

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.

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...

Good luck to them. In a number of ways their success helps Stoke. Shows clubs like Stoke what is achievable, that the "experts" dismiss. Puts huge pressure on the big clubs management who have spent countless £millions, seeing Leicester are doing better. Downside for Leicester is they are likely to be stripped of their manager and best players by the top clubs. What? What success, and how does it show what is "achievable"? They're putting "huge pressure" on Man City, Man Utd etc? Are you serious? They've had a good start and are in a good run of form. They'll finish somewhere between 7th and 14th like every other plucky early-season pretender before them.

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.

Leicester are two injuries(any two from Huth, Vardy, Kante and Mahrez) away from a long losing run. Might take a bit more than that. We were winning before Kante got in the team and have got King (who has been exceptional when called upon) and Inler to replace him. Huth was pivotal last season, he gave people confidence. We've changed the defence now and Simpson and Fuchs give him more more cover, we have a few players I think could step up as it doesn't feel like he's dragging us through like last season. Vardy and Mahrez are brilliant. But we have regularly dropped Mahrez or subbed him at half time and still won. We've got Schlupp and Dyer on the bench with pace to burn and they have caused good teams problems themselves. Vardy would be replaced by Ulloa up top (12 goals last year) and we'd have Okazaki there also (something like 15 and 16 last two seasons in bundesliga). In this form any team would miss him, but there are goals in the team. Our depth is better than people give it credit for. Even with 2 injuries I think we could be competitive with your mid table teams.

Leicester are doing brilliantly and vardy is on fire.
Congratulations to them, they look a very good side and its magic to see them at the top of the table.
Their club is in dreamland and must be great to be a Leicester fan right now.
Why anyone would decry their achievements to date is beyond me.
Vardy deserves his place in the England squad. He's bloody well earned it.

Although their fans seem deluded its a great story and gives hope to other aspiring teams that they could at least temporarily break into the top 6. I am not sure that's where they will finish. It does show the huge value of having a striker on fire. Just think where we would be if we had a top striker. Its possible Vardy will go one of the top teams will throw lots of cash at him and he will end up on the bench at ManC Manure Chelsea or Liverpool.

just looked at their fixtures, played 13 so far but only played 2 of the recognised top 7 - drew at home to spurs and tonked at home to arsenal. 5 of there next 6 games are against established top table teams - if they get 8 or more points from their next 6 games they will be there to stay.

You're wasting your time Dave.He won't respond.He never does when proved spectacularly wrong yet again. If we lose next week though prepare for the usual long,laborious, unintelligible and unreadable dose of the usual shit.
