Ambitious Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Matty James would be a fantastic signing for us, that I have no doubts. It's just not a priority, well, I suppose after finding two new wingers who can separate themselves from the also-rans already in the squad then it's worth a look. I don't see us doing that much business between now and the end of the window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowram Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 With the sale of Ince, Hughes, and Christie Derby have money to spend and a shortage of quality wide players. The acquisition of at least 2 players is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes Fan Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Can't see us selling him, Lawrence is much more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Huddlestone gets injured we are left with last year's midfield, minus Hughes. That wasn't good enough last year and it won't be this year. We need players who frighten the opposition. Butterfield, Bryson and Johnson won't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Isn't James currently about 7th choice CM behind - Drinkwater, Iborra, Ndidi, Mendy, Amartey + King? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 We need another CM in as we haven't replaced Hughes, Huddlestone coming in is in a position that we needed to sign someone for anyway even with Hughes still at the club. If we are to go 433 we need someone better than Bryson + Butterfield imo and James would fill that - a 3 of Huddlestone, Johnson and James would be quality.

Linekers trunks Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Honest opinion of Matty James, huge part of our promotion winning team, when he came back in the side when we went on that run to stay in the premier league he was instrumental alongside Cambiasso (who only by name got all the plaudits). my order currently for central midfielders. 1. N'didi 2. James 3. Drinkwater 4. Iborra ( Has the pedigree but not seen enough yet). 5. Amartey 6. King A lot of Leicester fans think because he was injured or that because he was playing for Barnsley last season that means he isn't good enough now, it's crazy. if he was quicker he wouldn't be playing for Leicester that's for sure.

Pre-season is pre-season but so far Matty has looked as good, if not better than he did before the injury. Drinkwater was our best player in the first half of last season, but for various reasons he didn't play as well in the second half. Whether or not Drinky gets back to his best, I still think James has a chance of finding himself in the starting eleven as he is a quality player and has shown that he's willing to work hard.

Will Hughes Hair Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 This time last year I spent weeks hiding in Owen Bradley's closet (with the puffa jackets) in the hope of stealing a march of transfer news but to no avail. With Owen on here all the time these days that sort of subterfuge just isn't going to work anymore (what with the restraining order an all). So I've resorted to a new tactic to garner #ITK status / kudos. Don't want to give too much away but I'll just mention the word google Anyway, just found photographic evidence that Matty James and Steve Howard were good friends back in the day. I wonder if the 'Budget Shearer' will be putting in a good word for us? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
