I have never said Vardy is better than Ronaldo, Messi or Aguero but I don't think Leicester would be better with one of them instead of Vardy and none of you can argue it because how the hell would you know that he would improve us as a team? You don't!
If we swapped, we'd gain a world class player playing for a team playing a style that wouldn't suit him. They can't adapt their style for him because they're not good enough. Leicester play the way they do because it suits our players the best. This is what Pearson worked out, with the help of Cambiasso because it was actually his idea for us to start playing with this high intensity and counter attacking style. Sticking Ronaldo in there and asking us to play to his strengths just isn't going to work.
In gaining a world class player and losing Vardy, we'd lose at least a few percent and that would make a huge difference. I'd say the difference from being able to come back from two goals down and not being able to. This is why I wouldn't swap! Based purely on football and how I think he'll suit our players, not simply chucking a name on a team sheet. Football is way more than that!
I never said Leicester would be challenging the top four. My prediction preseason was top 10 chasing 7th and we're looking good for it. I don't think Spurs will be chasing top four either though and thats why I said we'll be fighting for the same positions this season.
I think Vardy is an all round striker and has everything I could want but that little bit extra too. Kane and Vardy are different players and I prefer Vardy. For me he brings a lot more to our team than Kane does for Spurs.
If Sanchez can outmuscle and outjump central defenders and can run as fast as Vardy then I'll accept I was wrong and that the games I've watched haven't been a fair reflection.
I never said Albrighton is better than Eriksen, I said we don't need him because i'm happy with Albrighton, it's not a position we need to worry about. He works really hard for the team defensively too, and he whips balls into the box all game and his deliveries are top drawer. He's also English and I like the fact that we have so many British players so for Albrighton to be playing as well as he is, and being English, I'm pretty content.
I wouldnt swap your midfield or attack for ours, not a chance. Look at how many goals we've scored compared to you!!. It's eight more already this season and God knows how many more in 2015. Our attack is lethal, yours isn't. We score goals for fun and you can't hit a barn door. No way am I swapping! You might look better on paper but on the pitch your attack is not as good as ours. Good luck trying to argue that 👍
You can only really argue that Arsenal and Man City have a better attack than Leicester because only they have scored more than us in 2015. You could say West Ham because they've scored one more this season but while our team doesn't look great on paper, it works on the pitch and it's the third best in the league yet on paper there are plenty of sides that should better but aren't.
I'm far from deluded, it's more that you underestimate how good we actually are. This isn't a run or good form, this is the way we play. There is no bubble to burst, that was proven having come back from a heavy defeat to win away and again last week away against a side that finished 7th last season and beat Chelsea 3-1. They managed to hold on to that two goal lead but could easily have lost to us in the end. We were all over them and they couldn't cope. Chelsea's attack is better on paper but we've scored more goals this year and season.
Ranieri has a habit of qualifying teams for Europe and I wouldnt bet against it. No reason for us to drop away because we're not playing out of our skins and we will only improve now, not get worse. This team are getting better and better as they become more settled in this league and we're now a very good side. Pundits can see it but opposition fans can't?
One thing is for certain, until we're given the credit we deserve I'll keep getting into battles like this and I've already come out on top in my fight with WBA 😉
This all started because I said I don't rate Kane and would prefer Vardy and I still would. You're not right because you think Kane is better, it's just what you think whereas I dont! Do you lot go around criticising anyone that disagrees with you?
I've been watching and playing football for a long long time and I'm entitled to have a different opinion! Just because you rate Kane doesn't mean everyone else that doesn't rate him is wrong. He's scored one goal and last season is irrelevant now.
Let's get this straight!!

The latest from Arro this morning on the Leicester board is that Ronaldo is no better than Cambiasso and that if we spend £20m on a better defence Leicester will be champions league.

"Is Ronaldo a bigger player than Cambiasso? No! Is he a better player than Cambiasso? I'd also say no."
This was written by Arro on another thread just now.
You just can't take somebody seriously when they say things like this.
