He has one year left on his contract with leicester. We are looking at signing him on a permanent deal.
I would like to think we’d look somewhere else first. His final ball was almost always a let down and when he had a bad game it was a proper stinker. Portsmouth away springs to mind, but there have been others as well were he was a Bambi on Ice type figure.
Thanks for his input to the season but he wasn’t a player that impressed me whenever I saw him (which admittedly wasn’t anywhere near as many as most posters) so I’d leave him at Leicester.
Like Otter says his crossing was poor more often than not & he was shaky defensively. I wasn’t a big fan of James before his injury but thought he looked the better of the 2 when played this season & we looked more of an attacking threat with James than Elder down the left – and I think Jacobs looked far better with James behind himBut for whatever reason, James suddenly dropped completely off the radar around the time of the City cup game & never re-appeared so its clear Cook completely lost faith with him or somet iffy went on
The last thing we need is to be looking for two left-backs this summer. Elder had the odd poor game, but he’s consistent, athletic and relatively young.
I’d sooner have him on the books. Concentrate out efforts on signing a handful of quality players rather than padding the squad.
We need to be looking for players who are good enough & not just signing players so that its one less player to have to look for
And you can’t have the odd poor game & be consistant!! ;)
In fairness to him as much as I thought he was poor almost every time I saw him (& some times poorer than others!!) he had a blinder against City in the cup although so did everyone
