whitwickfox Posted 18 September 2012 Share Posted 18 September 2012 Not a patch on Danns mind it was Sven who bought Danns so we can expect to give Danns away to one of our competitors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGLCFC Posted 18 September 2012 Share Posted 18 September 2012 Sometimes players are quietly effective - you don't really notice them, but they do a lot of mopping up, release simple balls to creative players and keep the game moving I thought James did ok at Wolves and we certainly moved the ball around better in the second half, whether this is a direct result of James' influence, I don't know.

Corky Posted 18 September 2012 Share Posted 18 September 2012 Not a patch on Danns mind it was Sven who bought Danns so we can expect to give Danns away to one of our competitors Because Pearson has given Sven signings Nugent, Beckford, Schmeichel, Konchesky and St Ledger away to our competitors hasn't he?

nickelbyfox Posted 18 September 2012 Share Posted 18 September 2012 have to say thought he played well last game, definitely showing the desire and commitment, would like to see how he does if he starts tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Weasel Fox Posted 18 September 2012 Share Posted 18 September 2012 he makes Kingy visible during games but in all seriousness he does need time to bed in and play more games before we cn make honest opinions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain... Posted 18 September 2012 Share Posted 18 September 2012 I don't like him, he looks like Stewart Downing, I don't like Downing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboxman1986 Posted 18 September 2012 Share Posted 18 September 2012 Not seen enough of him to make a full judgement however from the games this season he has played in I have not been impressed. I think that maybe given time to bed in he could come good, but I don't hold my hopes up too high for him sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesbrothers Posted 19 September 2012 Share Posted 19 September 2012 Mind-numbingly average so far. I'm praying for a sudden spark like we saw from Marshall, but doesn't warrant starting ahead of King at all at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 19 September 2012 Share Posted 19 September 2012 If only he got himself noticed more like Danns, you know running around like a headless chicken diving into challenges and then giving the ball away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indierich06 Posted 19 September 2012 Share Posted 19 September 2012 Not a patch on Danns mind it was Sven who bought Danns so we can expect to give Danns away to one of our competitors Danns is ****ing shit. Can't tackle, gives away free kicks, gives away possession, couldn't find a blue shirt in the City Megastore, can't read the game, rubbish off the ball... I could go on about how absolutely rubbish Danns is all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sods Posted 19 September 2012 Share Posted 19 September 2012 When watching him live it's quite evident he's a decent player, think he needs to be closer to the other midfielder. Danns made him look poor against Burton by standing 30 metres away next to the strikers, James and Drinkwater will work well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DifferentViewOnFootball Posted 30 October 2012 Share Posted 30 October 2012 All this guy does is shield, never tackles and his first reaction is to pass it backwards, he is a Wellens. not for me, rubbish! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark_w Posted 30 October 2012 Share Posted 30 October 2012 He's only started 5 games, and we've won four of them. But you know let's write him off already, it's the Leicester way. Edit: Happy now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmo86 Posted 30 October 2012 Share Posted 30 October 2012 Though he did ok on Saturday. Far too early to be righting him off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 30 October 2012 Share Posted 30 October 2012 Liked the look of him in every home game he has played, tidy midfielder who does a lot of quality things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 30 October 2012 Share Posted 30 October 2012 Sorry to repost but I don't see why people see him as so 'average'. I like him, he's a good passer 'tidy' as they say, and helps us keep possession - we really need someone to do that. It's his style of play, he's like carrick, he won't burst past people but his contribution is essential to how the team performs. Someone said a long term replacement for Wellens, I agree, and James is less ponderous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluetintedspecs Posted 30 October 2012 Share Posted 30 October 2012 Not seen a great deal of him obviously, what I have seen I think he does more right than wrong. Would describe him as tidy and business-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 30 October 2012 Share Posted 30 October 2012 Reminds me a little of Michael Johnson. Very good technically, not mobile or sharp enough to make use of it. Hopefully with time this will change and he will improve, unlike Johnson who clearly never had the application or attitude to do so. Saying that, he's the one that I've been most underwhelmed by out of the summer signings, I had high hopes that he'd be a really key figure.

Danno Posted 30 October 2012 Share Posted 30 October 2012 What we need to remember is we are a championship club, and James is a championship player. He's not going to be perfect is he. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 30 October 2012 Share Posted 30 October 2012 I think he's a good passer of the ball but I'm still unsure as to what his proper position/role in the side is? He's quite quick, physically not very strong ( or doesn't look it) but composed on the ball. Whereas you can kinda say what most of the players attributes and weaknesses are, I don't really know yet with James other than what I've just written.

Saxondale Posted 30 October 2012 Share Posted 30 October 2012 Can't work out what he's meant to be. I thought he did quite well after coming on against the Palace but, other than that he seems painfully average. Doesn't do much wrong but doesn't seem to do much, well, at all. Sort of a middleman. Andy King without the goal threat or the creativity. Perhaps he's playing it cautious because he's a new boy and there's more to come? But, so far, he seems solid and no more.
