Thanks mate. Unfortunately we are at home to Man USA on the H4H weekend; I suppose there's two hopes of that staying on Saturday so that I can sign guests in on Sunday…… :angry:

We've got West Brom at home - surely they wont move that to a Sunday, it would spoil too many people's Sunday dinners.

I disagree. He stays at Leicester and he will be a legend forever. 20 years after retiring the fans of Leicester will still love him and shake his hand. If he went to Arsenal he would just be another player. Not everything in life has to be a cold, calculating decision.

I respect his decision and in a way I'm pleased to see that he shows loyalty to the club that helped him along his way.

Just cant help thinking that when he is older and retired that he might look back and regret not taking the opportunity to join a big club like Arsenal. Same goes for other big clubs if they came in for him not just Arsenal.

Playing for a big club like Arsenal.

Does he get a medal for that ?

And he wouldn't play week in week out though

If it was a big club winning big trophies then could understand his regret but it's not and he has just as much chance for further success with Leicester than he does with Arsenal.

Maybe it will be a wake up call for Arsenal that being called a big club isn't enough - they have to prove it

If you ask Alan Shearer, as many have, do you regret not joining Man Utd and staying with Newcastle he will say, without breaking stride, no. He is treated like a king up here and will be forever more. Fans appreciate loyalty, particularly at so called smaller teams and that warmth at Leicester has come through.

What else could he say? He is hardly going to say that he regretted leaving Newcastle besides its a bit different for Shearer as he was born there.

He could say maybe, possibly, perhaps. You can apply it to other players but Shearer is the obvious one.

I'm a romantic and I also don't see arsenal as threatening the title so I don't see the decision as overly difficult. If Guardiola and City came knocking I think that would be a harder one to say no to.

Choices, choices. Play for a club that has just won the league or an also ran. Maybe he should join Preston North End... they've got fantastic history.

I know where you're coming from but you could say why not join Liverpool. Big club going nowhere.

I would say exactly the same Brian about Liverpool, you just don't turn a club like that down no matter what they may or may not have won in recent years. They are a bigger club than Leicester.

Vardy will know that its this season or never for a move to a big club , again no disrespect to Leicester.
