Re: The Transfer Rumour Thread (Summer 2026)

Jordan James has been relegated twice in succession in The Championship.

Rennes are going to want around £4m.

Don't see us considering him.

Preston and Cardiff City are interested in signing Rotherham defender Denzel Hall this summer with Hall likely to leave Rotherham following their relegation from League One

He won Championship young player of the season and Rennes want £20m

There's no reason why we couldn't get him on loan. They bought him for £4m. They'd probably accept that just to get him off the books. He doesn't seem to fit in there.

Leicester according to reports had a 5m euro buy option.

That seems about right from what I've seen of Jordan James.

"Had" being the crucial word

James then went on to be Championship YPOTY, score 11 goals in 34 games from midfield and generally increase his value

Linked today with Matty Young, 19 year old Sunderland goalie currently on loan to Salford. 44 appearances for them this season - impressive for a keeper of his age. Do we need another goalie though?

Looks like an interesting signing personally, if we can get him for an affordable price.

That is indeed quite unusual for someone so young to nail down a regular 'keeper's position. He must have something about him.

They want 20m for him. Some PL clubs are linked. He's not coming here, and he's not going for £4m

He's a cracking player and he's the only player Leicester fans like

If you want an example of how badly run Leicester have become, this is it.

They should have triggered the option and sold him this window.

Rumoured that Cass Machin, 16 year old Man City midfielder, is joining our academy.

Some reports linking us with Charlie Savage, can’t see how he would fit in myself

I don't think being relegated means all that much. Ampadu got relegated three times in succession, and now he's having the time of his life in the Premier League. Whenever I have seen JJ play he's always looked decent, and definitely worth a punt for somebody. He turns 22 in July, so still developing as a player and plenty of room for improvement.

Wasn't Ampadu getting relegated to the Championship though and not L1?

James can certainly score goals in The Championship.

Rennes maybe will give him another chance.
