With the Euros starting and actual football to be talked about, the Jamie Vardy story has shut up, or, at least, quietened down for a little bit.

It’s hard to believe that it has been just over a week since it was first revealed that Arsenal had activated Vardy’s release clause, because in that time it’s been a done deal, he’s been on his way for a medical, he’s asked for more time to think about it and reportedly decided to stay at Leicester.

All of this was of some surprise to his wife who appeared on This Morning to say that her husband hasn’t made a decision yet.

What followed was no surprise to anyone, as media outlets started to report that yet another U-turn was taking place.

So what do we actually know?

We know that Arsenal have submitted a bid and spoke with Vardy.

That’s about it really.

If he has asked for more time, that’s all we know.

We don’t know why.

It could be because Leicester want to raise the profile of their club even further by having a player at the Euros. It could be because he feels genuinely torn about leaving Leicester where he is worshipped for a new city and a new club where he has to start from scratch again with no guarantees of succeeding, or it could be anyone of a hundred other reasons.

Maybe his kids are settled and he doesn’t want to move them.

Maybe his wife wants to stay where she is.

The thing is, we just don’t know.

And neither do all the people bringing us updates, all of which tell us nothing except he could stay at Leicester or go to Arsenal. Well, d’uh!

Since news of the bid was broken nothing new of substance has been added to this story but that hasn’t stopped journalists and bloggers trying to second guess the situation to make it look like they have contacts.

They don’t.
