Ed's is there any truth that we put in a bid for Vardy but we couldn't trigger his release clause because we are not in the CL and Arsenal are?

{Ed002's Note - I really have no idea. If Liverpool are after Vardy then I would expect him to be first pick which could I guess see the likes of Sturridge and Firmino considering their future - given the club also has Origi and Ings even before the Benteke's etc.. It makes little sense to me but no one has mentioned to me that this has happened. Cerianly there is interest from elsewhere in the Premier League.}

We really don't need a striker. We have plenty even with Benteke leaving (probably) .

I'd think Arsenal will probably take a look though since they need a forward.

Apparently it's Arsenal who have bid for Vardy.

With Xhaka and a fit Wiltshire. Add Rodriquez at LB from Wolfsburg and now Vardy, I'd be tempted to say title favourites.

Rodriguez is like Moreno defensively, and Wilshere? That boy is always injured and honestly, I don't see what all the fuss is about him.

Rodriguez can't defend any better than Monreal but is better going forward, Wilshere is barely a footballer, Vardy is a 29 year old whose game relies almost 100% on pace and has had one good season in his career, and Xhaka for all the man-loving he's received from Harry, is a very limited footballer and a red card waiting to happen. Coquelin is a better defensive midfielder by far.

I really don't see how they have strengthened significantly if at all. I'm far more concerned by a very young and improving Spurs side, and a bankrolled Man City led by Guardiola, than I am by a team of serial bottlers with a few high priced gambles added in amongst them.

Wilshere is a myth. Most overrated player ever. If he wasn't English, he'd not be talked about so much.

{Ed007's Note - I fell out my bed at title favourites! }

I remember when wilshere outshone an entire Barcelona team. Admittedly his injury record and lifestyle is terrible but to say he's 'barely a footballer' and 'most overrated ever' is embarrassing. On his day he's a joy to watch and I hope he gets back to a fit wilshere of 2/ 3 years ago.

{Ed001's Note - sorry but you are talking crap. He has never done any such thing.}

Rubbish.

He had 1 good game against Barca, but then does that make you world class? Has no one else ever played well against Barca?

What about when Arbeloa was switched to left back and completely stifled Messi nearly 10 years ago? Did that all of a sudden make Arbeloa the best full back the world has ever seen.?

As a Welshman I'm actually pleased with the way Wilshere is treated like a god, I'm praying it means he's guaranteed a starting spot against us in 2 weeks time. Much rather him than someone who is on form and fit.

{Ed001's Note - Wilshere can't even control the ball, which is why he is constantly injured, he is always overstretching himself trying to keep the ball. As soon as he gets tackled it means an injury as he has no spare capacity in his muscles to ride the impact. There is absolutely nothing special about Wilshere.}

I'm glad you agree Ed.

Listening to talksport and most of the callers that phone in, everyone seems to idolise Wilshere.

I really do not get all the fuss. But again like I said, I hope he is in the starting line up against us.

Wilshere runs like he's getting electrocuted. On his day he's not a bad player but he's got to be behind santi, xhaka, elneny, Ramsey and coquelin in the a Arsenal pecking order. If they get vardy keep Sanchez, ozil at ten then I think they just need a winger on the right to be contenders. Walcott is not good enough and oxlade is never fit either. Giroud is not a bad plan b.
Their defence is weak mind, don't rate any of their defenders, bellerin is the best of a bad bunch, purely because his pace makes up for a lot of shortcomings.

If you want to know what is wrong with English players and English football as a whole, I got two names for you: Jack Wilshere and Micah Richards. Overly hyped BUT severely aweful players.

I'm not saying he's world class or particularly good of late but he's definitely got talent. And ed001 I usually agree with you but I don't this time. I fear his career will patter out which in my book is a shame because when he first broke into arsenals team he looked like he was going to be devastatingly good.

{Ed001's Note - he never looked any good, people just wet themselves over any half decent English player.}

I don't agree about Xhaka. He's a quality hard working midfielder. Yes he's prone to red cards but only because he constantly harasses and bullies, sometimes a bit overly agressively. He is the type of player we are sadly missing from our midfield. I agree about the other Arsenal players.
