Hammo Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 James and Ulloa sign new contracts. Great for them, not the team.
coolhandfox Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 Not sure how he's earned a 4 year contract...
Dames Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 We are Leicester City. Not Liverpool or Arsenal. Some people need to remember that when they slate players that have served us faithfully and to a good standard. Before his injury James was regarded more highly than DD but it appears memories are short and throw in a freak unexpected title win it also distorts reality and expectations too. This is good news because it means if James does kick on we've secured the services of a good player and even if he doesn't it means we can command a good fee if we decide to sell.

SecretPro Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 He was fine first half, second half though I'd have to say he was pretty poor. Whether that's fitness or lack of prem game time I don't know but he was running into trouble a lot and far to many wayward passes. Flagging badly towards the end. He was up against a top notch midfield today and we were always going to get overrun in the middle so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt today. Need to improve quickly though if Drinky is off.
Fox92 Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 13 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: Dog shit again today Agree. And yet again against a top side. He gets overrun so easily and can't cope. There was one point where he lost the ball and then couldn't get back to defend. He'll always look okay against average sides like Brighton but games like Manchester United we need something else in midfield.

If you think there is then I can only assume you don't watch many of our games. There is a huge difference when Drinkwater is on form. I'd rather sell James for £5m than Drinkwater for £30m.

James unfortunately isn't the standard of player that we need to improve the squad. Barnsley is hardly a standard we need to achieve. Why wouldn't any other aspiring championship club or any club battling relegation in the prem show any interest in his services? i don't think he had a good game today. He gave the ball away a lot and never really imposed himself on the game. i see him nowhere near the standard of Matic , Kante, Fernandinho etc i may be wrong but Iborra looks to have more potential and a better option than 'matty' James Chicagofoxs 2nd account

matty98 Posted 26 August 2017 Posted 26 August 2017 Midfield gets overrun by the best midfield in the league... shock! Why do people feel the need to write players off so quickly

Don't see it myself. I think Drinky is a great player and I think james can get back to that level. I'd rather not sell either of them. Shakey agrees with me I guess.

Tell you what, reply with a Cattermole comment again. James is a plodder. Shall we look through your comments about him in the last fortnight. Your nickname used to be flip flop for a reason! Laughable

Sack em all.

Jesus Christ... are you a parody account or something? Imagine judging squad players on visits to two of the hardest grounds you are ever likely to visit.

On our way... Posted 27 August 2017 Posted 27 August 2017 18 hours ago, TheUltimateWinner said: Great news imo I'm really pleased he's battled his way back after serious injury however he is a squad player at best. Gives the ball away far too often and seems to have lost some pace... or has the game got too quick for him? His agent has played a blinder here. If Drinky does go we need an upgrade and not rely on the likes of James and King if we continue 4-4-2. Not seen Iborra yet but from reports he's better suited to a 3-5-2.
