Vardy might look like someone who might steal a potato from outside your cottage in 1458, but he’s a damn good striker. 

Nice try 

The potato was received in Vienna in 1588 by Clusius, from the governor of Mons, who had got it from one of the Pope's attendants. In Germany they gave it the name "cartoffel". The potato arrived in England from Virginia, brought here by the colonists sent there in 1584 by Sir Walter Raleigh.

Yeah there’s something about him that reminds me of Suarez.

He’s not even remotely close to Suarez in his prime. He’s a pace merchant with a good shot. Suarez was a well-rounded skilful footballer who could do things with a football Vardy could only dream about.

Mostly his attitude and energy on the pitch.

Trying to downplay Vardys ability as "pace merchant with a good shot" is a little silly. If it was that easy, why aren't there more of him?

I think it is a good way to describe Vardy. He is pretty one-dimensional as a striker. The reason why Vardy is special though is because he is a freak of nature. His natural fitness and his pace are unbelievable. There are stories he doesnt even use the gym. That is not common.

His timing, runs and positioning are pretty top notch too. If you taught Usain bolt how to strike a ball he wouldn't be better than Vardy.

It’s amazing how shit Wesley is. 

He doesn't do anything.

 

Fair play to whoever has edited his wiki page -

 

Quote

Wesley was born with one leg almost three centimetres shorter than the other, which has led to comparisons in his movement to legendary compatriot Garrincha.[3]

u wot m8

He was also compared with former Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke

Vardy runs in behind with his absurd pace and stamina, knows where to be and can finish. He is one-dimensional and extremely good at what he does and thats great. No one is saying anything different, but he isnt a complete player. The reason he is great is very much tied to his extraordinary physical ability. 

 

I have no idea what the Usain Bolt part means. He has been a sprinter all his life, you cant compare that to someone who has played professional football all his life.
