a proper 'pearson' player.

 

we could do with some more of these

Has a proper no nonsense hair do, too 

[RonnieTodger]

He is absolute mustard. I’ve forgotten what it’s like for us to sign someone good

[thegaffa]

He is a hybrid of Lennon and muzzy combined, in their early years.

 

Wanted him for a few season now and this just proves the types of not only players but characters, that we desperately need at the club.

Very good player 5 million is a absolute steal 👍 

[Kent]

Well done Rudkin

Even better when it was denominated in euros. Just what we needed. I’ve got a feeling Ramsay will come good too. 

[FrankieADZ]

hes cutting the mustard so far for us, we've wanted him for 4 odd years and you can see why

think its pretty clue the club will sign him come the summer, 4/5mil will be a steal

 

its a good deal all round tbh, we get a player we want who will/is improving us and the perma transfer fee goes on next years accounts(i think)

[Tom12345]

Great addition to the team. Can someone confirm we do have an option to buy him? For EUR 5m?

 

Our midfield is better than what we had last year with him and Ramsey added. Without Ndidi and destroyer of our own moves, our midfield looks a lot slicker in moving the ball up the pitch.

[The Year Of The Fox]

Reminds me of Jay Spearing for some reason

[Leeds Fox]

Said it to a few people, after I’d seen him for about 10 mins on his debut.

 

Hes exactly what we haven’t had for years. A good footballer who cares. Whether that’s about his career, the club or his teammates…. Doesn’t matter to me when he plays like he does.

Alright ‘Arry

[Ric Flair]

We've lost a lot of incredibly important players at this club in recent years, this lad has the ingredients to give us something to hold on to. He's got it all.

[fox_favourite]

A box crashing CM. Something Soumare and Skipp really isn't and was something we've been missing since KDH left. 

 

I really like him. His energy is great, he has ability on the ball and he can score. I know it's early but we have to initiate the option to buy. £5m for someone like him is a no brainer.

Just imagine if we signed him instead of Skipp last season, so much money would've been saved, top player

He was mentioned as well as he had come off a great season at Birmingham and they’d gone down. Would have been a bargain. 
 

Having said that, he might have then struggled not being ready for the PL so who knows how things would have gone. 

[The Hitman]

My worry is will we be able to afford him if we don’t go up. 

We haven’t spent anything this summer and have brought forward most if not all of our transfer income that was due in the next few years. 

[StanSP]

Is the £5m (or Euros) an option or obligation at the end of the season?

Even if we can't, you'd sign him to sell on and turn a profit. Would be stupid not to.

Option I believe 

[Raj]

Let's not build him up too much too quickly...but I want him as our Captain by Christmas😁👍🏾

[Horibbly Wrong]

Imagine if we could just straight swap him for Skipp

Marti Cifuentes drops Leicester City transfer hint after victory over Swansea
The Leicester City manager is already looking to a future with Jordan James after the loanee scored for the second game running, netting the opener in a 3-1 win at Swansea

Marti Cifuentes sees Jordan James’ future at Leicester City well beyond his season-long loan spell after the midfielder scored again to help clinch victory over Swansea.

Wales international James made it two from two games, and both against Welsh clubs, when he struck beautifully from the corner of the box to find the top corner at the Swansea.com Stadium.

It was a goal that put City in front and while they were pegged back by a controversial penalty, they came on strong, clinching their first win in five thanks to another stunning goal from Abdul Fatawu and then Jannik Vestergaard’s late header.

James has already captured the hearts of the City fans, who were chanting his name at full-time in South Wales.

The 21-year-old is only at City on a season-long loan from Rennes at the moment, but there is an option for the club to buy him in the deal, and Cifuentes is already looking to the future with him.

“I knew him from the time he played at Birmingham before he moved to France, when I was at QPR,” Cifuentes said on James. “I was impressed because he was a very young player performing really well in a difficult season for Birmingham.

 

“We felt it was a very interesting profile for what we were looking for. We were looking for a number eight, someone with the capacity to play at the base, in the pockets, to get into the box and score goals.

“Definitely we cannot expect him to score every weekend but he’s got this in him. He’s got the engine to get into space and help us in the build-up and then to get into the box.

“We’re happy for him. He’s settled in well. He likes it here. We’re happy he’s giving us the strengths we were looking for.

“I hope that it’s going to be with Leicester and he can be a very good player for us for many years.

“The important thing is that he’s improving every week. We’re going to try to help him as much as we can to develop his potential. He’s definitely a very important player for us.”

City had looked to be heading to a fifth straight draw when Adam Idah converted from the penalty spot with 20 minutes to go, but Cifuentes praised his side’s “mental strength” to fight back and claim the win.

“We had a very good period before the penalty situation and what I value the most is the reaction,” he said.

“We spoke about the need to chase goals. It doesn’t matter if you’re performing well, it doesn’t matter if you’re in control, you always need to try to score.

“That’s exactly what the team did. After the penalty the reaction showed a lot of mental strength. I think we were very strong in the last 20 minutes of the game.”

Cares and has some form of footballing ability. But the effort and desire is something you cannot buy… so let’s not buy him.

 

Lets spend £25m(?) on Oliver Skipp. Hes good at making my hairline look good.

credit to the club, looks the smartest signing we've made since Fatawu
