Vardy leaving Leicester

vile individual

I was always surprised that someone who came from non league football right to the very top, just gave up his England career when he was in his prime, just because he wasn't first choice.

chav of the highest order

He does look like an extra from Trainspotting

wife is the same - vile couple

leicester well rid

chav of the highest order

that is funny coming from a Scouser

Not like you the dragon to be like that.

Vardy to celtic champions league football

Scoring 11 League games in a row was a sensational record (beating RVN coincidentally)

It was thrilling viewing, going into Winter and makes him a top footballer in my opinion.

He was past it at PL level the last time they came up but still scored in the champ the year after. Might be worth keeping for another year but he'll be 39 in Jan.

Never really found him dislikeable but then again he's married to his wife.

When he scored at Newcastle during his run, I stood
up and applauded him, when he approached half way line
and was joined by about 15
leicester fans who had managed to buy tickets
in our section.

They thanked me at half time as they said they thought they
would get kicked out or chinned for applauding.

He was pretty magnificent for Leicester that season
and has had a decent career.

Pastures new...

Saudi to earn enough to keep his wife happy

Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “Following his decision to leave Leicester at the end of the 2024/25 season, high-flying Wrexham have emerged as 8/1 contenders to sign Jamie Vardy. League One tabletoppers Birmingham are also 10/1 contenders for the 38-year-old’s signature, with a move to MLS most-likely at 5/2.


“With no plans to hang up his boots yet despite experiencing relegation with Leicester, Vardy is 5/1 to link up with Cristiano Ronaldo in Saudi Arabia, meanwhile a move to Scott Parker’s Burnley is a 20/1 longshot ”

I should think his ole woman wants Saudi , funds for another pathetic Wag court case

Doubt his wife would last a year over there, same as Hendo's

were do the WAGs of European footballers playing in Saudi Arabia tend to live?



The wives and girlfriends (WAGs) of European footballers playing in the Saudi Pro League tend to live in a few key locations, depending on personal preferences, cultural adjustments, and lifestyle considerations. Based on available information, here are the primary trends:

Saudi Arabia (Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam): Many WAGs relocate to Saudi Arabia to live with their partners, often in luxurious accommodations such as large villas or high-end hotels in cities like Riyadh, Jeddah, or Dammam. For example, Georgina Rodriguez, partner of Cristiano Ronaldo, lives with him in Riyadh, initially staying at the Four Seasons hotel before moving into a mansion. Similarly, Rebeca Tavares, wife of Fabinho, and Larissa Pereira, wife of Roberto Firmino, have settled in Jeddah with their families, embracing the local culture to varying degrees. These women often live in private compounds where social restrictions are more relaxed, offering a lifestyle with amenities like world-class restaurants and private jets. However, some face challenges, such as cultural differences, dress code expectations, and occasional public scrutiny, which can make settling in difficult.

Bahrain (Manama): Bahrain, particularly its capital Manama, is a popular alternative for some WAGs due to its proximity to Saudi Arabia (e.g., 43 miles from Dammam) and more liberal lifestyle. Alcohol is permitted, dress codes are less strict, and there are high-end restaurants, bars, and shopping options, making it appealing for those seeking a less conservative environment. For instance, the family of Jordan Henderson and Steven Gerrard’s wife, Alex Curran, chose to live in Bahrain during their time associated with Al-Ettifaq, with children enrolled in British schools there. Bahrain’s relaxed atmosphere and social scene, including places like the Bahrain Rugby Club, attract WAGs who visit or reside there to escape Saudi Arabia’s stricter cultural norms.

Nearby Countries (Dubai, UAE): Some WAGs prefer to visit or spend significant time in nearby Dubai, which offers a cosmopolitan lifestyle, luxury shopping, and entertainment. While not a primary residence for most, Dubai is a frequent destination for short trips or vacations due to its accessibility via private jets or short flights. The sources mention WAGs occasionally meeting their partners in Dubai for a more familiar, Western-style environment.

Remaining in Europe or Not Relocating Permanently: In some cases, WAGs choose not to move permanently to Saudi Arabia, instead maintaining their lives in Europe and visiting their partners. For example, Jordan Ozuna, partner of Karim Benzema, has not relocated permanently to Jeddah, continuing her modeling career with frequent trips to Madrid and Paris. This arrangement is less common but occurs when WAGs have professional commitments or find it challenging to adapt to Saudi Arabia’s cultural environment.

Challenges and Considerations: Life in Saudi Arabia can be isolating for some WAGs, with reports of loneliness, cultural shock, and occasional harassment over dress codes. A 2024 Mail Online report noted instances of WAGs facing public abuse or being refused entry to shops due to their attire. Taylor Ward, wife of Riyad Mahrez, described the move to Jeddah as a significant adjustment, though she has since found comfort in connecting with other WAGs and discovering familiar amenities like Nando’s. The conservative culture, including gender segregation in public spaces and the ban on alcohol, pushes some to prefer Bahrain or Dubai for social activities.

In summary, while many WAGs live in Saudi Arabia’s major cities like Riyadh and Jeddah, often in upscale settings, others opt for Bahrain’s more liberal environment or maintain ties to Europe, visiting Saudi Arabia periodically. The choice depends on their adaptability to Saudi culture, family needs, and desire for a lifestyle closer to what they experienced in Europe.
