Paul Merson has doubts over Jamie Vardys compatibility with Arsenal and has questioned the Gunners pursuit of the Leicester City striker. Tony Twist Jersey . Vardys future at the King Power Stadium appears uncertain after Arsenal lodged their interest in the striker, whose 24 goals fired the Foxes to the title last season.Sky sources understand the 29-year-old held talks over a move to the Emirates after the Gunners triggered his £20m release clause, but there was no decision on Vardys future as he jetted off to France for Englands Euro 2016 training camp. With preparations for this summers tournament taking precedence, and with Vardy reported to be considering an improved deal from Leicester, former Arsenal midfielder Merson reflected on the potential transfer, before suggesting Vardy may be having second thoughts.It doesnt fit with me, he told Sky Sports. Arsenal dont get the ball forward quickly enough. I dont get the transfer, I really dont get it. Arsenal are interested in signing Jamie Vardy, according to Sky sources. But was has he said about a possible move from Leicester? No disrespect to Vardy but his strengths are getting the ball over the top. Teams come onto Leicester and they hit them on the counter.The vast majority of Vardys goals came from one-on-one with goalkeepers. Teams kick-off against Arsenal and immediately put 10 behind the ball and theyve got to try and break them down. Vardy: Stay or go? As Jamie Vardy mulls over a move to Arsenal, we weigh up the pros and cons of the transfer I think Vardy is really thinking whether Arsenal would suit him. If that wasnt the case he would have signed straight away, he wouldnt have had to talk to anyone about it as Arsenal are one of the biggest clubs in the world. There has got to be a reason (for the delay).He is probably thinking whether he could score goals with Arsenal. The ball never goes over the top and hes not going to play a one-two with three players before scoring as thats not his game. He is the best in the business at the ball over the top, nobody catches him. I think Vardy is really thinking whether Arsenal would suit him. If that wasn’t the case he would have signed straight away. Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson Arsenals Premier League title charge faltered in part to a lack of goals last season, with the Gunners top scorer, Olivier Giroud, eight goals shy of Vardys haul.Understandably, the acquisition of a prolific goalscorer would only strengthen Arsenals bid to end their 12-year wait to be crowned champions. Olivier Giroud says hes been told Leicester striker Jamie Vardy wants to join Arsenal But Merson believes Vardys price tag is key to the deal, adding: Arsenal think Vardy is cheap. £20m in this day and age is cheap.Ross McCormack was sold to a Championship team for £11m so Vardy isnt expensive, is he?

Osmond, of Marystown, N.L., fell in the middle of her routine and placed fifth in the ladies free skate at Iceberg Skating Palace (110.73 points), but that was all the Canadians needed after a strong performance by Kevin Reynolds in the mens free earlier Sunday. http://www.cheapbluesjerseys.info/authentic-joe-mullen-blues-jersey/ .Y. -- As if the worst start in franchise history isnt bad enough, Buffalo Sabres President Ted Black braced his teams win-starved fans for potentially more tough times.HOUSTON -- Minnesota rookie Chris Colabello admitted he was putting too much pressure on himself as he struggled through a terrible offensive skid. Once he settled down, he started to feel better at the plate and on Monday he broke out of his slump in a big way. Colabello homered twice, including a tiebreaking grand slam in the ninth inning, to lift the Minnesota Twins to a 10-6 win over the Houston Astros. It was 6-all before Chia-Jen Lo (0-3) allowed a single to Brian Dozier with one out in the ninth. Doug Bernier and Chris Herrmann drew two-out walks on full-count pitches before Colabello hit the next pitch into the bullpen in right-centre. It was the first career grand slam for the 29-year-old Colabello, who ended a 0-for-23 skid with a single on Sunday. He spent years playing Independent League baseball before signing with the Twins last season. "Having spent as much time as I did in (independent) league ball I wanted to impress people," he said. "Any time you get into a new environment you want to go out and impress people every day and you kind of get yourself out of your element and things get a little out of character there. When you do that, its very hard to be yourself." "The biggest goal for a hitter is to go out and be yourself," he continued. "Trust your approach. Trust what you do. Believe in what got you here and then go from there. Today was a good step in that direction." Manager Ron Gardenhire was impressed with his performance on Monday. "That was pretty nice swings driving the ball," he said. "Thats a big day for him; we needed it." The Twins trailed 5-1 after two innings, but chipped away at the lead with the help of solo homers by Trevor Plouffe, Colabello and Dozier. A two-out RBI single by Pedro Florimon tied it in the eighth. Plouffe tied a career high with three hits and Doziers home run gives him 16 this season, which ties a franchise record for a second baseman. Chris Carter and Jason Castro drove in two runs apiece and Jose Altuve tied a career high with four hits for the Astros, who have lost six of seven. Wayne Gretzky Jersey. Josh Roenicke (3-1) pitched two hitless innings for the win. Minnesota starter Andrew Albers allowed nine hits and five runs, tying career highs, in 1 2-3 innings. "Today I left a lot of balls up and left a lot of balls right over the middle and they made me pay," he said. "It obviously wasnt a very good day." Houstons Paul Clemens allowed seven hits and four runs in 3 2-3 innings in his second major league start after making 30 relief appearances. Trevor Crowe hit an RBI single that capped a three-run first for Houston. Plouffe homered in the second. The Astros scored twice in their half. "Offensively we swung the bats well early and could not get anything after that," manager Bo Porter said. "Their bullpen did a good job of holding it right there and gave their offence a chance for the late inning rally that they put together." Castro, Houstons All-Star catcher, was injured in the second inning. He hit an RBI single, which skidded down the left field line to make it 4-1. Castro left the game after the hit. He appeared to injure himself on the swing on a foul ball the pitch before the single. He trotted slowly to first base on the hit and chatted with the team trainer and Porter for a couple of minutes before being replaced by Cody Clark. The injury leaves Clark as Houstons only healthy catcher. Carlos Corporan and Max Stassi are both on the seven-day concussion disabled list. Porter didnt have an update on Castro after the game. "Ill wait and see what the doctor says," he said. "I dont want to jump to any conclusions."
