Reece James

Some quotes from a Wigan Forum:

Reece James is to be made Captain for the day in the Millwall game.A fitting tribute to an outstanding player, well done Cook for making this happen.

Reece, even at just 19 years old, is fully deserving of the armband. He's a very very special talent, the like of which only gets seen a handful of times in a generation. We'll never see him back at Latics. That's just life, and as much as I'm gutted about it, it's just reality. Hate to say it, but Reece James is better than Wigan Athletic, and I say that advisedly after 20 plus years supporting the club. Frankly, it's been a privilege and an honour to see him play for us this season. He's not just a future England player, but a future England captain, without a shadow of a doubt. His talent is beyond question, but his attitude, his mentality, his temperament... Second to none. Reece James is a football icon in the making, and I honestly feel honoured to have had the privilege of seeing him play this season.There aren't enough good words to describe the lad. I'm excited to see what he does in his career, wherever that may take him.

It's no 'gesture' this honour has been fully earnt on merit, the lad has led by example all season. Will be sorely, sorely missed.

Well what a final game from young Reece....as usual a had a great game. Some subliminal long passes during the game alongside his usual strong commanding game play. Was a neat substitution towards the end to give him a fitting farewell from the fans. Oh what I'd give for another season loan from Chelsea altho I'm wondering if he will be part of their squad next season or loaned out to a lower tier prem club??

Incredibly glowing tributes. I can't wait to see his 'subliminal long passes'.

There's definitely an opening for him in our first team.

 
Wow that is quite an ovation from the Wigan fans - and only 19? Hopefully we see a bit of him in preseason.

 
Reece and Trevor can't play against Leicester but Redwan and Gilmour can I believe. Whether those two and Nartey will play is another question.

 
deserves the same chance as CHO this season as hes been brilliant! Would take him over Azpi on his current form any day tbh. Its time for some fresh blood

 
From the games I've seen him play, I like him a lot. Strong, pacy, decent delivery. Has all the traits of a modern fullback. Would love to see him play for us!

 
If David Luiz did that when playing centre back he'd be criticised for it. 

 
The lad is absolute beast and with SKILL! Opponents look fearful to go near him - think he will be a revolution for us next season. 

 
We could literally have our very own Trent Alexander-Arnold with this lad! Hoping to see him break through the same way he did and be a star for us. 

 
just been stretchered off for england u20 with what looks like a serious ankle injury apparently. Hope its not as bad as it looks. 

 
Unbelievable, hope it isn’t too bad.

We can’t catch a break at the minute.

 
Just saw this on twitter. The footballing gods are taking a massive sh*t on us this summer. What is the reason for these internationals straight after a season? Absolute joke.
