Hi eds! i'm wondering why we go for Vardy and not Zlatan! For me Zlatan would be a statement of ambition and most certainly take Arsenal to the next level! Either of them are longterm solutions and Ibra suits our style of play in 8 out of 10 matches so why Vardy?
06 Jun 2016 11:13:02
Zlatan won't be the success at Utd that everyone thinks.
He's 34, moving to possibly the most frantic League in world football and will only be used sparingly by Mourinho.
Vardy is by far the better option.

Whilst I think you're right dags. Would we be saying this if we signed him.
06 Jun 2016 12:33:44
D16,
I think he would be a better fit at Arsenal as I think he would be our main striker.
I think at Utd he would play a lesser role, so as to not hinder the progress of Rashford.
Don't get me wrong, he's quality, wherever he goes, but prefer Vardy, mainly because of age.

Vardy has at least proved he can cope with the prem, ibra probably will but until we see ( remember falcao ) it is still a small question mark as well as he's nearly 35, so won't be getting better. Would have either tho, but ibra will probably cost more for one year than vardy for three, rumoured he want 500,000 a week, ouch!

Besides the increased skill/ finishing level, would Ibra bring a great deal to our game?
I get that he is better than Giroud, but Giroud is unselfish and helps the team in a lot of ways that Ibra wouldn't as he is very selfish. In terms of pace, they are probably similar as well.
Whilst I don't personally feel like Vardy is the answer to our problems, he offers more in different ways than Ibra does.
I just hope these 2 strikers aren't the limit of our ambitions. I would have loved this type of intent to be shown for Aubamayang or Lacazette.

Dags/ Steve
I'm not a Vardy fan but I would choose him over the over paid swede.
But I won't a young hungry striker to come in, like Morata. Let the leagues best hurdler go to west ham.

you must be joking if you think zlatan is going to play second fiddle. he will play all the big important matches and anything less to him will be not deserving of zlatan.

I agree laker. I don't think zlatan would sit quietly by if not played, and if a 1 yr contract would surely be really disruptive. Jose would know that. Plus man u can't be messing around next season and will want quick results.
I wouldn't want him at arsenal though. A big part of the reason I support the club is that AW has more class than to employ players with huge egos bigger than the team, or the costa types, regardless of how good they are. I know some like the pantomime villains, but not for me. As idiotic as it sounds, I'd much rather come second trying with Danny/ Olly/ vardy leading the line. Players I want to support.
I don't know why man u don't go for bentner instead though.

When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone he had 3 missed calls from ZLATAN.

If you follow Ibra you know age, prem and selfishness isn't a problem! His record speaks for itself, getting bether every season an would probably dominate prem for atleast 2 seasons.
Again suits our style of play!

Evening Malaga opps I mean dags.

Ctr, physical/ aggressive is fine. Confident is fine. Desirable/ necessary even. Like most, I much prefer football as an honest contact sport rather than technical fouls, diving etc.
I just never saw/ realised any of them claimed such individual importance like zlat, or got physical (dirty) one minute, then roll around trying to get other players sent off like Costa.
I'll defer to your knowledge though CTR. If they did, i really didn't realise and think it detracts from the team.
At the minute, there's not a player at AFC who i'm not 100% behind, even when mertesacker is caught napping on the halfway line. ;) Its just there are some I'm 110% behind.

Jimmy / Laker
He will be on the bench counting his money. He will make fat boy look quick.
Mind you if Vardy doesn't pull his finger out, tell him the ship has sailed.
We are to big a club to be held by what could be a one season wonder.
Chew chew all aboard.
