Tbh, I've stated I think he's talented, I actually think he'd make a better central midfielder than a holding midfielder, we don't play this way.
He's nice on the ball and given 5 yards can produce some nice passes... This has never been my issue.
My problem is he can be too casual on the ball in dangerous areas, like it's a kick about at the park shall we say.. You rarely see this with others in the team so ofcourse it stands out.... Am I being fair? Maybe not... Maybe he needs a couple of seasons at this level to fully grow into the role.
Would he be playing if Kelly was fit? Probably not... But again that's maybe more to do with age and trying to nurture him in at this level.
Not that he needs my blessings but il give him more time, I can see his ability but I think he's costly... Il reevaluate my thoughts come may... I might change my opinion
haha
Honestly, who cares where the money came from at this stage?
If Joy was selling heroin out the back of St Andrews then that's fine by me.

Which stand?
Gonna be a shitter if he doesn't sign now.
Sources look liegit but can't see how we can pull this off. So much doesn't add up:
He's 29 so I doubt environment/play style/coaching features in Leicesters thoughts
On a load of cash per week. We can't be offering anything near the 18k the Barnsley fans mention. Doubt we could rival whatever they currently pay.
Makes me edgy, what's in it for them? Couldn't be a first dibs on Hamer or secure a youth player to swing it could it?
Suppose he could want a move back to the Midlands.

That's my concern. Hoping it's not because Hamer is going the other way

He’s been on loan at Barnsley...
Don’t see how it can be anything other than a pure guess unless you know the player himself
Not saying this is the rationale, or is what's happening but....
20 weeks until end of May
So 20 x 18k = £360k
If you think this guy guarantees staying up, 360k investment would be worthwhile to maintain the additional £8m we get from this division.
Or maybe we're looking longer term and think he'd fit in with our wage structure come the end of the year.
The Leicester reporter for the Athletic wouldn't have reported on it if it wasn't happening. Only thing that'll stop it happening is if a better offer comes in at the final hour.
Since he was injured for 3 months.
Mrs BSB is lucky to get 5 mins never mind 60
The first part is exactly right. That is the rationale. The weekly wage is less important than the value of the total investment. Nobody is saying he will stay long term. And given how we have missed Kelly, it is obvious how dependant we are in our relation fight on a strong defensive midfielder.
Yeah, about that...
Injury after injury after injury. He’s been here eight and a half years and has played 101 league games. 86 of those were in his first three seasons. That’s an average of three a year in the last five seasons. He didn’t play a single minute during the title winning season, and has played 18 times in all competitions since 2016.
Some bright spark at the club decided to give him a new contract after he made one FA Cup appearance in the embarrassment at Newport 2019, and he almost immediately broke down again, so he’s been touring the treatment tables for the last two years. Regardless, he was given a squad place ahead of fully fit Andy King last season. Thing is, in the considerable time that has elapsed since he was capable of playing more than a couple of hours a year for us, we’ve signed Ndidi who is one of the best in the world, and Mendy who is a high quality backup. Hamza Choudhury has somehow found a space on the fringe of the first team as well, despite having a scrambled egg brain and flailing feet. Matty James? Such a talented player, love him to death, but a talent wasted by the sheer misfortune of being one of the most frequently crocked players in the history of the game.
That’ll be why we’re loaning out a 29 year old. His next permanent contract, wherever it is, is likely to be pay as you play.

Well thanks for the insight...could of been the same bright spark who signed George Thomas
But Tommy English was decent for us

Had it confirmed last night by a mate who is involved in the Leicester youth set up. All agreed by player and clubs and will be confirmed officialy today pending a medical this morning
Ive heard of the fella but admittedly dont remember ever seeing him play.
Judging by alot of views on here it seems like alot of OTT views about how good he is.
In saying that hope its a half season loan with potential option to buy next season if he proves his fitness/ability as potentially he would definately improve the squad big time.
This could be a bit of a coup!

Did his acl a few seasons a go and went out on loan to Barnsley following his return which suffered a few set back jist like Jj. Majority of their board seem to be gutted that hes gone as he made a real difference to their midfield bit like Kelly for us.
lets hope our acl jinx doesnt manifest itself again

Matty James: ‘I was in so much pain I’ll remember it for the rest of my life’
The Leicester City midfielder Matty James tells Stuart James he is savouring his return to the side after tortuous 865 days left him at breaking point
