James Justin

Can’t just be me that thought he was really bad today? Never seems to know when to release the ball

I thought he made a couple of errors. 

 

But overall i think  the lad has been fantastic. He's  forced himself into the elite top 15 of players we have. That's tremendous work from him and meant to be high praise *even if it doesn't sound it

[Tuna]

I think he's been an excellent signing, he's really improved this season and his versatility is a huge asset, we'd be in a right mess without him this season.

[hejammy]

I agree without JJ we'd be in a bit of a mess this season, however saying that, he has loads of potential however he really lacks that smart decision making at times. I hope that improves with games/age

[Corky]

I don't think we should underestimate the challenge he's faced in having to play in so many different positions and formations alongside a revolving door of colleagues in the past six months. Most players might get a good run initially in one position, he's probably played in five or six different ones already.

[StanSP]

His versatility will be so valuable if it hasn't been shown already. 

 

Both wing-back positions, LCB, RCB. He does it all and with an air of maturity, too.

Proof there is value in the lower leagues. 

 

For every Demarai Gray there's a James Justin. 

 

Thats why I never slagged off Gray as many do on here. We bought him for peanuts, it didn't work out but it was worth the punt. 

[Koke]

Crazy to think he went from playing League One to Europa League within 12/18 months and he hasn't looked out of place in this team.

[Dames]

I hope he isn’t binned the minute Ricky and Timmy are back. He deserves better than that.

[Ric Flair]

Showing all the signs of developing in to a very good player. If and when the end product comes from him in the final third then we will have a right player on our hands. 

[coolhandfox]

Still think he's a excellent option as a CB in a 3, quick athletic and good on the ball.

 

He development in the last 6 months is a really silver lining in the cloud of injuries to key players.

 

Not to be sniffed at a player who can cover RB, LB, CB.

 

I'd imagine he could do a job at DCM, I'd have more confidence in him then Hamza.

[Dahnsouff]

Would hate to think where we would be without JJ on the cover  

[Steve_Guppy_Left_Foot]

Brilliant, never seems to drop below a 6 even when them around him are having absolute stinkers. Very consistent wherever he plays. 

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

I think the guy is an exemplar professional for us. Got to love his attitude. He has worked his socks off in games in whichever position he's been asked to play, and has improved his play too in those.

 

I personally thought it seemed he was asked to play quite high up field yesterday which isolated Fuchs on occasion. 

 

I take real pleasure in seeing players like him and Luke Thomas developing and maturing. Top marks JJ.

He is a bit of a player, he will transfer for more than Chilwell eventually.

[urban fox]

Must be up there as one of our best scouting coups. He was highly rated at Luton and we nipped in before he hit the radar of some of the "bigger" clubs and took the gamble. He was obviously signed as one for the future, but due to the current injury crisis has stepped up to the plate big style. It easy to forget that he is still only 22 and playing league 1 football 18 months or so ago.  

Still not the finished article but if he continues on his current trajectory of improvement he is going to be a real asset. My worry is when Ricky P and Timmy are back fully fit he will be sidelined and we could easily lose him as i am pretty sure that there are other clubs looking at him now wondering how come they missed him when we snapped him up.

And only 2-and-a-half years since he was playing in League Two.

He's been a revelation for us.

Great scouting work.

[Foxxed]

One of my favourite players now. I'm glad we persisted with him in his slightly rough period at the start of the season. To be fair to him, it was only about three games anyway. Happy to see him come up from the lower leagues too.

I guess they missed him as we paid the £8m required. Arsene Wenger said that Arsenal can't buy players like that as the fans demand big money signings (when talking about why they didn't sign Mahrez when he claimed he was very much aware of him in France). 

 

If JJ does eventually go for big money we'll be hearing from fans of the purchasing club about how great their scouting network is 

[Sharpe's Fox]

He's solid. And that's all he will ever be imo. Much prefer the raw ability and explosiveness of Ricardo and Castagne and I am desperate for them to play together.

[honeybradger]

He's our James Milner, can drop in at RB, LB, CB, DM and put in a shift, players like him are an important part of any squad.

[Stadt]

Excellent scouting
