st albans fox Posted 12 February Posted 12 February 1 hour ago, PlymouthFox said: According to transfermarket website his loan contract expires at end of June, whereas the other 4 loans we have all expire at end of May. Not sure what that indicates ref which year accounts, but maybe it's a month later due to what you've said? Probably because we have an option on JJ whereas the other three are returning to their parent clubs and may need June to work out new loans/contracts

LCFCJohn Posted 12 February Posted 12 February 3 hours ago, st albans fox said: Is the option to buy before end June or in next years accounts ? However, given that the psr hit is less than a million, you’d hope we’d have allowed for that margin of error. Good one 1

It seems that because he'd spent a season with Besiktas and was integrated into their team it's not considered a bridge. A bridge would be buying a player direct from one club, then selling them on with them never having played for you. Besiktas triggered the option to buy him agreed in the loan from Roma, in the same way we will (can) with JJ. So it looks like we can buy and sell him straight on. Edited 12 February by JimJams

HP1 Posted 13 February Posted 13 February Im guessing there hasn't been an update on James' injury and when he will be back? Last I heard on it was from MC about 3 weeks ago. In any case, he will require 2-3 weeks to get up to speed after recovery.

Pliskin Posted 2 March Posted 2 March (edited) Birmingham are allegedly monitoring our situation, they want to make a move for him in the summer. Edited 2 March by Pliskin
fazzyfox Posted 11 March Posted 11 March IF we can stay up and IF we can then sort our permanent managerial situation quickly I'd like to think he'd sit down and talk with him about the season ahead and plans before deciding but my gut feeling is if Coventry go up they'll be making an offer to him, Lampard has already spoken positively about him and I hate to say it but it looks a good fit with their squad, location and everything, he wouldn't be their superstar in the PL but along with the others on the steep learning curve with that bit of known quality about him and time on his side.

That is enough to want rid of the current owners in itself. I cannot fathom how anyone can still want King Power in charge. 4

Surely if we have an option to buy then its completley in our own hands whether we sign him or not? Id of thought the permanent transfer part is already written into that deal so Jordan James has no choice anyway? Even if we got relegated you would sign him for the 5 million as you would make a quick profit on him by selling straight away to another club 1

If he decides he doesn't want to join us, there will be nothing we can do about it. Edited 13 March by ClaphamFox

On 24/01/2026 at 11:00, Mickyblueeyes said: An option agreement, once triggered is an obligation on both parties to conclude the contract. It’s used in contractual relationships up and down the country. All over the wall. It creates certainty that when conditions are met, the contract will conclude. In this instance for the contract to conclude, the buying club NEED to have terms agreed with the player or they would be in breach of contract on triggering the option (because once triggered, the contract cannot conclude). That leaves two options: 1, as is usual, terms are already agreed with James and LCFC just need to trigger and pay the selling club the fee; or 2, the club do not trigger the option due to finances or failing to agree terms with James on entry into the option - which is not normal practice. You don’t trigger an option and then go off and negotiate with the very party you are dependant on the contract concluding. As dumb as our guys are, at the very least we will make some money out of this Can we just pin Mickys fxxking post. 1

I'm not even sure we'd shell out the coin to sign him as I'm not sure we have it but that withstanding. He'll be running a mile, I wont blame him and any Leicester fan that does is a deluded fool. Far better than this shambles he has a career to think of, he's been nothing but professional during his time here and I wish him all the best. 5

Scoring 10 goals from midfield in our absolute honker of a side will not have gone unnoticed by a lot of lower end premier league clubs and some top end championship clubs, any promoted team will have him on there wanted list as he will be relatively cheap and have decent sell on potential. 2

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 19 March Posted 19 March Surely if we have an obligation, he’s ours? Even if it means selling him on for a profit before a ball is kicked.
