With Leicester's impending relegation (would love both Leeds and Everton to go down but think it will be one of them plus Leicester), I could see a place for Jamie Vardy in our team next season in the role of a Barnes / Werghorst has provided, with the added benefit of a more of a goal threat.

Bags of experience, highly skillful and could improve on our younger players.

Would Vinny see this as an interesting prospect in the all new, attacking based Premier League Burnley?

Duno. He was watchin brighton game yday
Gilmour?

No.

I think he’ll still cost a fair bit and go to a Brighton, Villa-type club. Maybe Everton if they stay up because they need reinforcements.

Won’t be one for us and with rapidly declining resale value, rightly so I’d say.

We missed the boat dithering over Vardy when he was at Fleetwood.He us far too old and too much baggage with his wife.

No, Vardy is done in the top flight.

One of the reasons Leicester are going is their failure to replace the threat he provided.

His legs have gone and the goals have dried up.
Great career but a no from me.

Would prefer Youri Tielmans. Possibility with the Belgium link ??

Better taking younger, developing players - a couple down the road, especially young Wharton

And Bolton v Barnsley on Saturday. He’s certainly not taking much of a rest is he!

No, a couple of years ago maybe.

Lol, him and Hazard. Why would Tielmans even think about coming here and whose paying his 100K+ wages as he's on a free? Can we stop sniffing the glue please.

no but I'd take Barnes in a heart beat, superb player

Sounds like a Dyche signing to me

Not for me. He’s on the way down now and wouldn’t fit the Barnes role anyway

The question should be, if Vardy was available would he sign for Burnley? The answer would most certainly be no.

Nope.

I really hope not.

Why on earth would we want a proven Premier League striker when we've got Foster?

Are you a motivational speaker by any chance?

I just assumed he would see out his career at Leicester

Absolutely.
we don't need to be is a last chance drop-off point for ageing PL players.

Mbappe is a young player. He might be ok.

Definitely take Barnes. He’s some player.

Maddison and Tielemans (also add Ward-Prowse) will end up at top 6 clubs.

Barnes is an unrealistic as Tielemans!

Maybe for our one loan from Man City we could tempt KDB???

Barnes been linked with a move to Villa and Spurs, while Newcastle were told £65m last summer, but yes we’d take him at Burnley.

You said “I’d take Barnes in a heartbeat”….

I’d take Haaland, Bellingham and Modric in a heartbeat.

Can we please stop looking at OOC players over 30 and automatically trying to somehow link them to BFC?

Those days are over

Vardy not a chance after is wife was called by some loons at Leicester and then he goes and scores.

He was a shadow of his former self last night. No thanks

Spot on.

I'm still shaking my head at what a gutless performance from Leicester that was

They had about 1/4 of a billion worth of players on that pitch last night and never got above "slightly bothered"

Big issues there

last night there were 2 x superb balls played into Vardy and it just isn't there anymore. His one attribute (excellent pace) is just not there anymore. He could be useful in the championship or possibly lower Premier.

You find a lot more out about both people and footballers when the going gets a bit tougher than when things are fine.

They basically to a man downed tools last night and surrendered.

I think Harvey Barnes is a terrific player, but £65m for him?

Not a cat in hell’s chance.

Wouldn’t be too much over 3 years though. We’ll be signing players for more than that this summer (fee + wages)
