Maybe "crazy transfer climate" was a bit much, but Blackburn, Charlton, Fleetwood, Oxford, Northampton, Rochdale, Blackpool and Shrewsbury have all paid out fees, but as a lot are 'undisclosed' it's hard to know exactly how much. Been away.Did we get a fee for Hartley? £3 and a stick of rock

I should imagine the heirachy at Rovers are none too pleased with McAnthony for blabbing our business over the Internet. Experience suggests that isn't the way we conduct ourselves, and I Don't see the need to discuss such matters out in the open.
Perhaps McAnthony thinks he's being macho in publicly turning down our offer. DC said today that a 6 figure offer for Ellis was turned down last season and that wasn't talked about at the time.
I don't understand this need to advertise every move as soon as it happens.

Perhaps we made a cheeky bid for Nichols and offered to take James of their hands as part of the deal - doubt he will feature in their plans and if he is under contract they may have seen that as a bonus and we may have offered it as a sweetener in the Nichols deal ...... personally think James is a hard working player with a good attitude but you can't deny his lack of goals last year is a problem for a striker !
Pretty hard to know what our thinking was unless we know the detail of the deal. They may have posted it to try to make it look like there is interest in James as part of a plan to move him on .....

Like David Mehew or Billy Bodin you mean...crazy idea. Ian Alexander was originally a winger...gary penrice was a striker but became a midfield player...even Carl Saunders came to Rovers after being played as a defender by Stoke (for some odd reason )..David Pritchard went from fullback to midfield. Oh and finally...the greatest of the lot Geoff Bradford...played in every outfield position at Rovers.
Yeah, but they weren't sh**e players. Not after they found a position that suited them/their team better

Obviously a sweetener to the Nichols deal. Clarke quite likes James and sees something in him, they want rid, so they're offering to take him off their hands in return for a reduced fee for Nichols.

Rumours they paid £400k for Marriott. They'll probably try and re-coup that for Nichols & James. It'll be interesting to see who scores more next season. Marriott will probably score more than Nichols/James combined. Even though he scored less league goals than ellis in a division lower? You might be right but no obvious statistical evidence to back it up. Harrison,nicholls and marriott have similar goal stats.

I rate Marriott and would back him to score more than Nichols. That's my opinion, I might be wrong, we'll have to wait and see.

I wouldn't pay a penny for Luke James. What use is a striker who doesn't score any goals. Sorry but I will lose a lot of faith if DC signs himk-useless. But you never had any faith in him anyway as your match reports clearly show. Every win we get puzzles you because he dosnt play in the style you like and cant understand him changing the team,formation etc. How can you lose something you never had[faith]?

How often have you watched him play "with your own eyes"?

How often have you watched him play "with your own eyes"? I've seen him about 4 or 5 times and seen all his goals for Woking and Luton.

They only pipe up when they're not losing or facing a relegation - expect them to be loud until LJ is sacked pre-Xmas with them sitting in bottom three - they'll pipe up again when they nick Billy Bob for £300k in Jan transfer window. They really are the sh!t.
