Just been watching a piece on a popular sports news channel about Leicester and was thinking about how Vardy was once linked with us but lots of people said that he wasn't good enough as he was a lower league player at the time. It got me wondering about other players that were linked with us but people said they wouldn't be good enough as they played in the lower leagues and yet they are now doing very well in our league or the premiership. Nahki Wells is another I can think of off the top of my head who has done fairly well for Huddersfield yet again lots of people said he wasn't good enough for us. Also conversely there must be players who people on here were correct about and have failed to shine but I can't think of any examples of them at the moment.

Vardy has been able to flourish over the last few seasons with good players around him.
Would he have done the same playing along side Bothroyd, Sidibe, JJ or Reda?

I'm sure he was on Wednesday's books as a youngster and "left" because of some dubious activities. When he was playing for Stocksbridge PS he was never included in night matches. One has to wonder if there was an underlying reason for all those omissions.
