As we all suspected, Vardy not coming..

[Alberto Balsam Rodriguez]

I wouldn’t 100% rule it out as being dead just yet, Wenger’s comment is very much in line with how he has always spoken on transfers.

In the summer when every man and child knew that players like Nasri and Fabregas would leave he was always adamant that he “expected” players to stay, the basis of which I assume is that they were under contract. Had he in any way deviated from such a statement he would have stoked the media into an even bigger story.

I do think the boy Vardy has been a bit of a huge **** about the whole thing. Stay/leave, just come clean but then be up front with the media that he will not speak on the topic again until the Euros are over, so next weekend.

More time to think about it, do **** off.

My caveat on the whole issue is that having now admitted that we know there is a need to address the forward area that we 100% now do so. Previous summers have seen us enter the water and then run back out again. By looking at Vardy he has told the world that he is not completely happy with Giroud as his primary option, to not now have plan B options to act on would be unacceptable.

I tried to say the same above but you put it in a better way. By admitting we are in the market, we should not be walking away empty handed.

We also don't want a similar situation to last year where we were apparently looking then Wenger told us that Welbeck was deaded for a few months the morning after the windows closed.
