whoever you support they will have 'missed out' on a number of players who went elsewhere and did well.. similarly you will have missed out on players who went for nothing or big money who were shite elsewhere..
thats football sort of, isnt it???

But not as poor as the decision to sign Wells following such an extensive in depth analysis from our scouts.

The thing is there are a number of Vardy threads from when he was at Halifax with plenty of scribes ( some still come on here ) asserting that he wasn't good enough ( because he only played for Halifax ... Sound familiar ? )

Just a harmless leg pull here, but sometimes bookmarking a thread has it's plus points coardy - I do agree with you to some extent there. I played against Cameron Jerome at junior levels for 4 or 5 consecutive seasons.He played for West End and Stile Common whilst I was at Liversedge Sporting Juniors. The lad was quick but aside of that, pretty woeful. Thing is though, he always said he'd make it, as did his dad, and he eventually got snapped up at a young age. Young enough to receive the amount of techinal work he needed. He was a decent player by the time he was 15/16 and with the pace he had, was worth a gamble by someone. Cardiff eventually took a chance and it paid off. Vardy isn't 15/16 though and doesn't have enough about him to put the work in to improve himself. As I said earlier, it's all about opinions but I've seen more than enough of him to cast proper judgement. Most, if not all, others are commenting on hear-say Can you not read? I'm not vidicated at all. I have played against this lad several times and also seen him player several times on top of that. Based on both experiences, I am confident enough to say that he will not cut it as a professional footballer. I said the same about Denton - who i'd also played against - and I was right. Although very different players, his and Vardy's ability levels are about the same. They both score a lot of goals at low semi-pro levels, but just aren't good enough to make the step up. On the other hand, there are two players who I cannot believe have never been snapped up as they are simply piss-takers at their current clubs. Paul Walker, currently at Garforth Town, is a class act but once turned down the offer of a contract with us when Peter Jackson was in charge. To this day I don't know why. The other is Richard Marshall at Harrogate Town. Both of these are in a different class to Vardy, but have never got that bit of luck. Vardy has but he doesn't have the ability to do anything with it. So Ashton, in short, I've played enough semi-pro and top amateur football to be able to cast judgement on various players at these levels. Jamie Vardy is not good enough. What has my full-time job got to do with anything? Anyway since you asked, I'm a golf journaist/reporter earning well above the national average. How about yourself? If TerrierLuke says he's crap then Vardy will probably go on to play for England. Wow, that's embarrassing terrierluke.

The reason Town didn't sign him was because LC said he wasn't good enough.

The reason Town didn't sign him was because LC said he wasn't good enough. And he had terrierluke as his chief scout

If we had signed him he may have dissapeared and be making is way back into league football with guiseley etc.. different team to leicester, different manager etc could have gone the other way.. be thankful we have had pilkington and rhodes etc..

A good example to any good young english player ..dont need an abundance of skill but your heart and passion will get u through as like a lot of people dont think is nothing special but reminds a lot of Ian Rush how he harasses back line and doesnt give them a minutes peace and can finish well also .. Gotta be good for english game I like him, never gives defenders a rest, like the above say he has heart and passion. Sadly something that seems to have gone out of the English game, although to be fair heart and passion alone never really got us anywhere. So he's only scored 4 goals this season, Kane is still in the side, what has he done? I feel Yardy has improved this season, with his goal taking, his runs and general awareness of who's around him. The more he plays the more he seems to improve. Imagine him coming on for England, around the seventy minute mark, just as the legs are starting to tire a little on the opposition. Especially when we revert to the long ball.
