Considering how much we would have saved in the transfer fee (the PL's top scorer should go for at least £40m) we could have well and justifiably afforded to pay over the odds in wages.

I think we all need to spare a thought for Fleetwood Town and Halifax who were due a part of the fee. They are the real losers here. Can't believe Vardy didn't take them into consideration when making his choice.

I bet we would pay Jamie Vardy more than Özil or Sanchez and you would be the first one to criticize the club for that.

I agree to a certain extent but his 29 years of age and we tabled a good offer for 3 years. Leicester to my understanding have paid less but offered a 4 year deal so his gone with that.
He will regret not accepting before we do chances are Leicester will finish outside top 6 and won't get out of the Champions League group stage and it's any bodies guess how Vardy will do next season.
We kind of guessed it wasn't happening when he took so long to decide we need to move on I've been reading German bookies have slashed odds on PEA joining Arsenal due to a flurry of bets.

200k a week for Vardy... come on. No way in hell do you break a wage structure for Jamie ****ing Vardy.

As if it wasn't bad enough that we've been turned down by Jamie Vardy but there is the horrible realization that Giroud will still be our starting striker come the opening game next season, and it's making me sink into a football hating depression

Haha! Rough day for our targets! Wouldn’t be surprised now if we heard that actually we’d announced xhaka too early and noe he’s pulling out!
Vardy’s a small time coward- has had one chance to play at the top level and he turned it down.
We’ve screwed up our PR on this hugely…our entire transfer business comes across as it just beign wenger himself running round in circles panicking….we used to be so tight lipped on transfers…there’s something rotten in the club ensuring the media find out all the details of anything that goes wrong
I hope kante and mahrez both leave asap (ideally to us!) Vardy will get relegated and drag the club into bankruptcy
No idea who we sign now…probably no one until at least august 31st is anything is to go by…then we’ll lose to someone in the league…panick…and overpay for whoever we hear might be available….might be Özil….might be park chu yung

Would be a fantastic signing I think, but not sure there's any real link there.

This window seemed a bit more exciting than usual, Xhaka early and seemed we were close to Vardy and Mhikitaryan (sp).
Now it's just the same as always. Boring.

Lol. Imagine explaining that to Özil, & Alexis
They'll will piss themselves laughing then hand Wenger a transfer request.

If Vardy turning us down means we end up signing Aubameyang - Vardy's done us the biggest favor possible!!

I reckon we could make it happen with a £55mil bid and £200k per week.
Nothing less in all honestly. Madrid won't buy PEA he need to realise this and go play somewhere else.

To be fair, the story was broken by a journo who's close to Vardy himself. It's almost as if they wanted it to be made public so that LCFC would be forced to act...

Is Vardy a loss? Yes, given the opportunity it presented and what he could bring to our game considering the market. The offer we made and how we went about things was enough. He chose to stay, well done and best of luck.
Honestly, I might get lambasted for this but even Lacazette is more technical on the ball, quick, strong with very good movement, too. He is not exactly the "killer" that Vardy is due to his work rate in both fazes but he just may suit us better if we go for him.
Its hardly the end of the world and there is nothing the club could do. You can't be serious that we offer a 29 year striker dependant highly on his speed higher wages that what we did.

Yeah I don't recall us ever saying anything about the bid until people from the club were asked directly. That journo and then Ranieri were the ones talking about it if I recall.

With the shortage of top strikers and many big clubs looking to sign one it will take a miracle for us to sign PEA. It could be done but not by Wenger.
