The Summer 2025 Transfer Window Thread

[SSB]

Sky Sports News headline this morning is us “leading the race for Jamie Vardy”.

I hope it’s bullshit. Just for the sake that I don’t want to hear “that chant” over and over again at every game.

I don't want Vardy . I simply do not like him as a person at all . No thank you .

Same. That and he's clearly finished at Prem level.

Wrexham are apparently interested to take him in The Championship. Seems like a good fit for a drama show like them.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Genuine question - what is it that people don't like about him as a person?

Genuine answer - he’s a prick.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Genuine answer - he’s a prick.

Why though?

His celebrations?

His attitude & big headedness.

We loved it when Cunha gave it the big one at The Hawthorns, not sure there’s much difference to Vardy pointing out he’s a PL winner at Spurs. Maybe people who don’t like him are that way inclined as much because of his wife as him. I wouldn’t want him as he’s on the way down and if we’re looking for a bench warmer I’d rather it was a younger player. That said I’d rather see him coming on at 70 minutes if we needed a goal than Hwang.

 

[The Bear]

He does it whenever he scores. Always trying to wind up the opposition fans no matter who they are.

He's definitely a prick, no doubt about it.

Howling like a Wolf or pretending to be an eagle.....fans are a bit precious if they're getting upset by that whilst they're calling his wife a slag?

 

[BillyDee]

His wife is a slag tho

Fans spend all game abusing players and then get butthurt when it gets given back to them

 

[jd1981]

There’s lots of Lindsey’s out there, that Walsall game was the biggest case I ever saw of a set of fans dishing out but going into meltdown when their side was dismantled.

 

[Del Woppio]

I like Vardy. I like his career story, his loyalty, and who doesn't love watching someone sprint clear and slot home a one-on-one. I quite like that he's a bit of a wum rather than the snorebots we see most of the time - give it out, take it, nod and a wink in appreciation at the end is the way football should be. The wagatha stuff doesn't reflect on his character at all for me, barely even registers. I'm sure he's not the nicest bloke in football, but the people who get wound up over his celebrations need to get a fucking life tbh.

 

[prawnking]

I've always thought his WUMming was pretty tongue in cheek

Sames. Though half the Palace fans when he was skipping round and flapping his arms weren't seeing the funny/laughable side!

 

[sycophantia]

I think he is a bit of a prick (the 'funny' goals celebrations don't bother me though) but the main reason I don't want him is he's finished as a Premier league player, even as a bit part sub.

 

[Derby Wolf]

He's done as a PL player. Only reason we shouldn't be going anywhere near.

Let him go and Ince/Irwin it up for a year.

Just classic football fans who think they can say what they want with impunity but get all butthurt the moment they get a bit back.

 

[Alan]

I love Vardy’s celebrations. I’d be exactly the same; “I’m ruining y’all’s day and I fucking love it”. Y’all don’t want me to be a dick? Don’t let me score. Simples.

Adebayor sprinting 120 yards just to give Arsenal fans a big “fuck you” is a Top 5 PL moment for me (and not just because it was Arsenal).

 

[leedswolf]

Jamie Vardy would be the most “anti-Wolves signing” ever.

No way.

A bit like signing Claridge?
