    Did we already reckon this with his noticeable ability?

    No idea how much he's on - but it's too much.

    Been obvious from day 1 he was never brought in with a chance of signing him in the summer. If someone comes in for Drinkwater he might get a second chance at Leicester with a new manager. If not I suspect some rich top half championship side will come in for him in the summer. Basically a team with a similar league position to us but with much more money.

    I never thought for one second we could. Regardless of ability, it's obvious he's on too much for us

    Hecky said when he signed that he'd be going back to Leicester for next season. So I've never thought he would be signing.

    Cracking player tho

    From what I understand, we aren't contributing to his wages. Hecky said that Leicester are "doing us a favour" by allowing him to come here. He wanted to come too by all accounts.

    A bit much saying they are doing us a favour as we are the ones having to play him whilst he has not been fit.

    They were his exact words. He obviously feels that James isn't the sort of player we'd be able to sign usually.

    Not doubting those were his words but we have done them a favour too, it isn't all one sided.

    He was a bit off the pace against Rotherham, but since then he has been an improvement on what we've got. Not much of a hardship for us to 'play him whilst he has not been fit'.

    Never thought we would sign him but good to see him play. The sort of loan the system should be used for rather than to facilitate premiership clubs having bloated squads they can never play.

    He looked top heavy against Brighton the other week as well. Top class for this league though!

    The 'favour' bit as I took it was with regard to his wages - it sounds as if Leicester have given us a bit more assistance in that regard because we went to them with a plan for James to aid his fitness & progress etc, whereas other clubs didn't have that detail in their attempts to sign him.

    Aye but we've got to be nice to them to keep in the frame for future loanees.
