Think this is a good move by and for Pearson, makes more sense than say Villa. Decent squad that he can help improve, don't care that its Derby and I hope they go up next season. What a couple of matches that will be. Impressed he has got Powell in as well, he obviously rates him as gave him his first chance as a coach.
You'd think a new RB would be on the cards so i can see DeLaet going, but with a summer of discontent over Kante, letting James leave on a permanent would be a mistake.
Don;t think that CR has seen anything of James and we are linked with a lot of DMs so will be interesting to see what happens with him.
Young English proven central midfielder - on paper could demand a sizeable transfer fee but won't. A loan till January at Derby would serve everyone well
