Cardiff City interested in Matty James
He's out of contract
Supposed to be us, the jacks and the wurzels in for him I believe. You'd think Bristol would have the edge because of Pearson's Leicester connection, but I wouldn't mind him coming here at all because he'd improve our passing I reckon - like James Collins though, he'd be a step away from the club's aim of reducing the average age of the squad.
I think a few old heads serves our younger lads well , having one in defence , midfield and up front makes sense with younger developing players then dove tailing around them.
If that is an argument for signing Matty James how do you think his ‘old head’ will help with 30 year old Marlon Pack, 29 year old Leandro Bacuna or the 27 year olds Joe Ralls and Will Vaulks?Quote:

Bacuna , Pack , may leave and I'd argue that James is not just an old head in terms of age , he has played 100 plus for Leicester and has better experience and pedigree (old head skills ) than those you mention .
Better old head versionQuote:
