buctootim Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 You could buy the real Fleetwood town for £1m. You can buy most clubs outside the premiership for £1 and a promise to take on their debt.
Avenue Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 If we want a prolific lad from non-league. Why not Kwesi Appiah from Margate. 32 league goals in 29 appearances so far this season. He's only 21 too, worth a punt, especially for the 300k that Blackpool had allegedly agreed for him. Gone to palace. Gratefully for us, we don't have to shop in non league. Good luck to him and palace.
david in sweden Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 You could buy the real Fleetwood town for £1m. ....and all the fishing boats you want, too.
Colinjb Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Gone to palace. Gratefully for us, we don't have to shop in non league. Good luck to him and palace. True, but it means my second team has lost it's key striker. Oh well.
CanadaSaint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Gone to palace. Sorry to hear that. I think he'll do well and we might end up regretting missing out on him. As you said, good luck to him.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Palace havent signed Vardy! Halifax have a 30% sell on clause with Vardy...... Might explain the high fee and 1m rejection?
badgerx16 Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 ....and all the fishing boats you want, too. Not any more, the fish dock is an 'outlet shopping centre' called FreePort. And as for the team, the owner has plenty of moolah to throw at his plaything.
Avenue Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Sorry to hear that. I think he'll do well and we might end up regretting missing out on him. As you said, good luck to him. Not vardy. The other chap, appiah!
Avenue Saint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Palace havent signed Vardy! Halifax have a 30% sell on clause with Vardy...... Might explain the high fee and 1m rejection? I didn't say they had. Was talking about appiah.
CanadaSaint Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 Not vardy. The other chap, appiah! Oh, good. Thanks. Off to remove head from arse.
Viking Warrior Posted 31 January, 2012 Posted 31 January, 2012 We have signed reg vardy . They will be supply cars to the club
Saint Charlie Posted 4 February, 2014 Posted 4 February, 2014 We asked about Vardy on deadline day according to Telegraph reporter John Percy: Belated transfer deadline news - Southampton made an inquiry for #lcfc striker Jamie Vardy on Friday but were told not for sale at any price
andymcrowe Posted 4 February, 2014 Posted 4 February, 2014 How old was Sir Rickie when we signed him?
SW5 SAINT Posted 4 February, 2014 Posted 4 February, 2014 http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11728/7422134/Seasiders-snubbed-in-Vardy-bid I know its not a link for us but this is a couple of weeks old ... 750K for a non league striker and that was rejected. Hate to think what sort of crazy figure they've put on him! Just shows how mental the transfer system has gotten in this country when you consider we spent about that on Barnard who had 20+ goals in the 3rd division that season! I thought Fleetwood were in League 2, which is not non league.
buctootim Posted 4 February, 2014 Posted 4 February, 2014 I thought Fleetwood were in League 2, which is not non league. I thought that, which caused me to check the date on the posts - January 2012.
BlakeySFC Posted 5 February, 2014 Posted 5 February, 2014 Mega strange if this is true, why we we go in for an average lower league striker?! Madness

BlakeySFC Posted 5 February, 2014 Posted 5 February, 2014 Here is a tip, read the post just above yours. :lol: I said lower league, not non-league, I suggest you read my post more carefully…. :lol:
bender Posted 5 February, 2014 Posted 5 February, 2014 I said lower league, not non-league, I suggest you read my post more carefully…. :lol: surely the lower leagues are league 1 and 2, not the champs
david in sweden Posted 5 February, 2014 Posted 5 February, 2014 Good point, didn't realise he was that old. No idea then. Odd. Rickie " whats-is-name " was 27 when he joined us .......so ...no idea to look at a 25 y.o. then?
Waterside.saint Posted 5 February, 2014 Posted 5 February, 2014 Clearly we've started buying players for our B team project once the deal for Portsmouth is secure.
BlakeySFC Posted 5 February, 2014 Posted 5 February, 2014 surely the lower leagues are league 1 and 2, not the champs Lower leagues to me means the Football League, all pro leagues below the PL.
S-Clarke Posted 5 February, 2014 Posted 5 February, 2014 Rickie " whats-is-name " was 27 when he joined us .......so ...no idea to look at a 25 y.o. then? No idea why people are quoting posts, out of context, from 3 years ago? That post was made in reference to me suggesting that he may be one for the development squad, which is why we'd loan him back out for more experience. (I didn't realise he was mid-20's) I was trying to make sense of the rumour, which was proven to be nothing but made up tosh anyway.
SW5 SAINT Posted 5 February, 2014 Posted 5 February, 2014 I thought that, which caused me to check the date on the posts - January 2012. Lolz, I was sure I could remember Fleetwood beating poopey very recently.
david in sweden Posted 7 October, 2015 Posted 7 October, 2015 25 years old and prolific in non-league. A bit of an odd one on the face of it though. .potentially ...another Charlie Austin.....or Rickie Lambert, then ?
Lazlo78 Posted 7 October, 2015 Posted 7 October, 2015 A Weymouth fan I work with who seems to know lots about non league football was telling me that 1. Fleetwood are loaded and that Vardy was good enough to play for England 1 day. Hats off to your Weymouth mate who spotted this 3½ years ago!
Doctoroncall Posted 7 October, 2015 Posted 7 October, 2015 I hope he can find the betting slip. I wonder what the odds would have been?
The9 Posted 7 October, 2015 Posted 7 October, 2015 .potentially ...another Charlie Austin.....or Rickie Lambert, then ? Bit harsh on Vardy who is still 3 years younger than Lambert was when he made his Prem debut, and has potentially three times the tenure in the top division as a regular first choice than Lambert had in his two (well, 1 and a half really) years at the top in 2012/13 and 2013/14. No-one's taken a punt on Austin yet so he's only got the 2 years in the Prem too, but even though he's in the Championship at the moment he's a much better comparison so far.

I wasn't so much looking at their ages, but the manner in which they came up through Non-League sides.....and played below Prem. in their early careers. Lambert and Austin both had spells at a level - even below Championship - when they started out, and didn't have the " benefit " of an Academy background either.

Or nearly their entire career in Lambert's case.
BlakeySFC Posted 7 October, 2015 Posted 7 October, 2015 Still think he's a flash in the pan, bang on form at the moment, but will die down soon and then struggle to score in a brothel.
eddie Posted 8 October, 2015 Posted 8 October, 2015 Still think he's a flash in the pan, bang on form at the moment, but will die down soon and then struggle to score in a brothel. haha amazing. I wouldn't be surprised if he continues for a while though like this with Leicester having so much momentum did you ever get the job as a bbc pundit, by the way?
Trader Posted 8 October, 2015 Posted 8 October, 2015 Mega strange if this is true, why we we go in for an average lower league striker?! Madness Maybe because the club know more about average lower league strikers than you?
Pat from Poole Posted 8 October, 2015 Posted 8 October, 2015 Matthew Le God was trying to belittle me over the summer when I dared to suggest on here that Vardy was a properly decent striker, I seem to vaguely recall.
