Great news if true, will be a very good signing.

Jordan James was among the Rennes players whose departure was being considered at the end of the transfer window, and things seem to have settled down for him. The 21-year-old Welsh midfielder is reportedly on his way to Leicester this Monday. Rennes and the Premier League club have reportedly agreed on a loan with an option to buy in excess of €5 million.

 

In recent weeks, the former Birmingham player (under contract in Brittany until 2028) has been in the sights of Parma (Italy), Wrexham and Ipswich, both Championship sides.

It's just a matter of if it's worth having a Bard in your DnD party that contributes absolutely nothing to the team but adds a +1 to everyone else's rolls...

 

This is the best thing I've ever seen on Foxestalk

 

Dungeons and Dragons so mainstream, it's getting chucked in randomly as analogy on a football forum.

Loan with an option to buy. Perfect if it happens

The law of conservation of JJ states that JJ's cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another, ensuring that the total JJ's in an isolated system remains constant.

Great news. Like him alot. Winks down to 4th choice also 

[Simmo86]

Bloody lovely stuff!

[RobHawk]

Loan with an option is perfect, good fee if he does well and only 21. 

 

Get this over the line

[Claudio Fannieri]

There was a jet that arrived just before the Rotterdam one, from Paris, might well have been on that if they couldn't do a flight from Rennes.

[Lesta Legend]

Superb signing. If it comes off. 

[Aleksz]

Ah yeah he'll of travelled to Wales for camp won't he, makes the deal easier. 

[whoareyaaa]

Decent 

[BKLFox]

Shame he's in the Welsh squad could have been a nice 2 weeks for Marti to work with him (+ any other newbies) & be able to start with the full tactical brief v Oxford but i'm sure he'll walk in anyway.

[StanSP]

When do Wrexham get involved and buy him? 

[jonny_wright]

Does this deal mean Winks or another DM/CM can leave?

 

Or is this a Ndidi replacement?

[FoxinNotts]

Scored a good goal against us didn't he? Brum away two seasons ago?

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Well I hope he's as good as you're all making him out to be. Who does he replace in the current XI? Page?
