Jamie Vardy

[JamDav1982]

Hey guys don't forget we spent that 20m on fucking Mathieu and Vermaelen and they're older than Jamie, so we're in no position to talk ...

Vermaelen was nowhere near £20m and Mathieu was less than that as well.

I just didnt think Vardy would be the one leaving, given the circumstances. Kante and Mahrez should be much better prospects for the big clubs than Vardy.

Depends what those clubs need and how much they can pay.

Of all the positions needed Arsenal may well need a pacey option up front.

Mahrez if 20m I am sure would have a lot of big clubs after him.

lol, Mathieu's money was well spent.

I hope that's sarcasm

Why? He was a solid signing. Especially during his 1st season. As a cb he is reliable, he just can't play lb.

That's not the point ... 20m is still a big amoount of money for a spanish club, EPL teams are loaded.

'WAS',so he did ONE good season and then what ? what about his second year ? did he deserve 20m ?

Mathieu was a great buy. I'd pay 20 mills for him no problem. Good solid CB who has a few more years in him. Gotta love some ginger.

Yes, he did. He even won Barça a clasico. The money spent on him was well spent. Can't say the same abour vermaelen.

I'll believe it when I see a pic of him on arsenal.com holding a shirt up. We'll probably end up with an injury prone, 20 year old French attacking midfielder.

Vardy is £20m.
Mathieu was 20m Euros.

Pounds to Euros=1,28x

£20m is around 26m Euros.
So, it is not exactly the same price...

Thank you

Mathieu was a great buy.

It sounds ridiculous, but Mathieu is a luxury signing. Splashing 20m on 30 year olds with no sell-on value and very few good seasons left in the tank is luxury signings we cant afford going forward. Compare it to buying Marquez in his early 20s for 5m who spent 7 good seasons for us. These are great buys. Not oldies at a premium.
