    ….. skips to post #1 to see the source..

    :drag:

    The only 39/40 year old I’ve ever wanted to do a season at Celtic was ‘Zlatman’… in fact… knackered and retired… I’d still rather have him..

    … or that Japanese player who’s heading towards 60.

    I thought those days of signing swan song EPL "legends" looking for a last ditch shot at silverware were over.

    Wait, * am I thinking. * all has changed in TWO * DECADES.

    We're still shopping in the same 1-4m financial bracket despite inflation, a modern market, and the financial evolution of the game.
    Lawwell is still at the club.
    Desmond is still at the club.
    We're still European also-rans.
    We're still throwing 1-2m clumps of * at the barn door hoping one of them stick.
    We're still making the same market excuses every window, like "working hard" and "monitoring".

    And the club hierarchy still treat one of the most passionate, loyal, dedicated, fervent and famous fan bases on the face of the planet like * atm machines.

    We need to get this * DeLorian up to 88 miles per hour ffs.

    Would i be over the moon with it? Probably not. Do I think he could do a job? Probably yes.

    Looking at his goals and stuff from last season he still looks sharp for his age to give him his due he's a very natural finisher when he gets the chance and if we are being brutally honest as sad as it is right now at 38 hes probably still better than any of our current strikers at the club.

    Would bother me a bit less if hadn’t had that incident where he called a guy a “j*p” tbh. Seems like a bit of a classless *.

    As a general rule I’d rather we weren’t signing 38 year old Jamie Vardys, but based on his performances last season and the forward options we currently have, it’s difficult not to see this as being an upgrade.

    So I guess you sign Vardy and hope the board sort themselves out for next season, which of course they won’t.

    No thank you, smells of desperation by the club.

    Have we actually made him an offer? That article just says he's keen on a move.

    It was inevitable he'd get linked this summer at some point.

    I don't like the type of signing but that dont mattter if he do the job and score goals. We have 0 strikers that can score a goal. Vardy can and im sure he would score both in the league and in europe for a season.

    He would be good, but the bitter taste of the boards mismanagement of the club is what worries me that we are even discussing this.

    I would have no problem having Vardy on our bench to sub on.

    I reckon this is a done deal if we qualify.

    He will definitely score goals up here and I think he would be a good influence on our younger players and can teach them, that said I'm not too keen on this
