Lambert09 Posted 30 December 2025 Posted 30 December 2025 Wonder what this could be? Sounds promising though? Maybe activating the clause early? 2
Tuna Posted 30 December 2025 Posted 30 December 2025 This is already being discussed elsewhere, no need for a thread for it (sorry).

AKCJ Posted 31 December 2025 Posted 31 December 2025 Knowing how tone deaf the club it's quite likely that this plan involves Rennes recalling him and selling him to someone like Wolves.
FoxFossil Posted 31 December 2025 Posted 31 December 2025 Do we plan to sell Fatawu to pay for James? If so we'll fanny around until the end of the window, trying to make an extra 50p. Balance to go on polo horses, which makes a change from donkeys I suppose.

TBF Why would Marti even say that, just manage the club better mate and shut up with the press BS sound bites. If he stays here on loan & scores 15 by season end, a Prem club will snap him up. 1

I'd have thought that selling Fatawu this summer is very much the plan. With the profits pay for James, a left back and a striker and let Monga have a much bigger role. I think we'd probably be in a better position afterwards if they can get a striker and left back that is at least of reasonable quality. Currently they're two massive holes in the team. 1

There isn’t any player out there that we can afford that will replicate some of the things Fatawu can do. But if we can use the money to buy JJ and a winger who is a bit more consistent, then we have to take that, really.. 2
ajthefox Posted 11 January Posted 11 January Can't see why JJ would want to stay really given the state we're in. There will be far more appealing offers for him if he doesn't agree any personal terms. 1

I think he will, I can’t imagine anyone will pay him what we will, I can see us selling Fatawu and signing James. Then probably send Ramsey back and get a few other loans in.

His career has been very up and down but he seems like he’s finally found a club that value him in us. agreed we are a mess but he’s actually one of the only players that looks pleased to be here. 2

Stadt Posted 13 January Posted 13 January 12 minutes ago, Finnegan said: Might not be up to us. How Leicester would it be to negotiate a loan deal without any break clauses in a deal for possibly the most injury prone player in the country? It's like Rudkin doesn't understand we can have our input in deals 2

Plus having him (in theory) coming to a promotion challenger, would be what Burnley would have wanted. Saying that, we knew he was a sick note. So probably is on us! Might have been a small bet though

Might have been a small bet though Seems unlikely there was lots of competition given he went out on loan on deadline day. We just can’t give the club the benefit of doubt in these situations - look at the Edouard deal Edited 13 January by Stadt 2

I suppose he is playing every week, scoring goals and starting for Wales. But he will need to see that the club has plans to progress going forward. He is going to need some quality in midfield to support him or he will get frustrated
Turtle27 Posted 15 January Posted 15 January Macquire loan to purchase James this month. Then to sell him for a profit in the summer. Watch this space
