Does Jamie Vardy deserve to go to Euro 2016?

Although few expected such an unforeseen phenomenon to ever be taking place throughout the 2015/16 campaign, Claudio Ranieri and his ever impressive Leicester City outfit have nonetheless taken to the Premier League this season with all the vigour and confidence you’d expect from genuine title challengers.

 

The likes of Wes Morgan and Robert Huth have somehow proven formidable at the back this term, Riyad Mahrez has arguably sounded himself out as an early player of the season candidate – and although the entire Foxes contingency seemingly deserve a great deal of credit for the recent success down at the King Power Stadium – Jamie Vardy will still likely take most of the plaudits for his record-breaking exploits in front of goal this season.

 

So then, with Roy Hodgson’s final Euro 2016 squad due to be announced in the not too distant future, does the in-form Leicester front-man deserve a place among the Three Lions ranks at next summer’s tournament…

 

Well, even though Jamie Vardy doesn’t exactly boast the most illustrious reputation when all is said and done this term, many still believe he deserves a chance with England at Euro 2016…

 

Time to give the fox in the box the recognition he deserves #royhodgson#vardy#threelions#england

…even if some remain less than convinced over Vardy’s ability to stay consistent across the rest of the season…

 

Ray Wilkins would start Jamie Vardy at Euro 2016. I bet he scores less than 5 goals from now until the end of the season.

A certain section of England supporters have also backed the plucky Foxes forward to shine over Wayne Rooney at next summer’s tournament…

 

With these recent performances Rooney has no spot in that England Euro 2016 team. Not when Vardy and Kane performing, alongside Sturridge

…despite some failing to take Vardy’s credentials seriously even at this particular stage in the proceedings…

 

Jamie Vardy is going spend his nights off at Euro 2016 handing out flyers to night clubs.

Yet even if the in-form Leicester striker does in-fact end up with the rest of the Three Lions squad next summer, some aren’t feeling too optimistic over Roy Hodgson’s proposed use of the 29-year-old attacker…

 

Hodgson will no doubt play Vardy in midfield at Euro 2016, if he picks him at all.

But whilst most have been offering their sincere support for Jamie Vardy at Euro 2016…

 

Can't wait to see Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy at the euros #euro2016

…other predictions fail to see the potential behind his possible inclusion…

 

I don't want to live in this world were Leeds cannot beat Rotherham and Jaime vardy is England's best striker. Not for me.

So then, although not every Premier League follower ultimately goes down as a fan of the current Leicester man…

 

Good to see everyone can forget about racist and generally moronic behaviour as long as players can score loads of goals. #vardy

…most certainly want to see Jamie Vardy at Euro 2016 in the summer…

 

Butland, Ali, Vardy and Kane all must start at Euro 2016 or Woy needs putting in an old folks home

Either way, it seems as if Roy Hodgson and the Three Lions may not be the only outfit looking to pick up the 29-year-old's services sooner rather than later…
