Former Bristol Rovers forward Luke James had been told he can find a new club after only leaving Darrell Clarke’s side in the summer.
James was signed to fill the void left by Matty Taylor at Rovers last season but despite some hard-working performances failed to score in 30 appearances.
After turning to parent club Peterborough he then linked up League Two strugglers Forest Green, who sit bottom of the division after 25 games.
The 23-year-old has netted just once in 21 games for Mark Cooper’s side and has been told that he's free to leave the New Lawn this month, according to Gloucestershire Live.
James showed some glimpses of brilliance while at the Memorial Stadium but his lack of scoring was a huge talking point among fans throughout the campaign. He notched up four assists to help Rovers clinch tenth place in League One but the Gas chose not to make his signing permanent.
Meanwhile, Green teammate Sam Russell has also been told he find a new side, while Cardiff are reportedly lining up a £1million bid for prolific striker Christian Doidge, as revealed by Glos Live.

So we lose our best two players in the space of a year and replace them both with one player twice who never scores goals lol.

Would be brilliant! Signed as Matty Taylor's replacement first time around and then as Billy Bodin's replacement second time around. He and Nichols would then go on to forge the most potent strike partnership in the division

]He and Nichols would then go on to forge the most potent strike partnership in the division I almost want this to happen just for the cataclysmic #GasMeltdown that would ensue.

I don’t know how people can mock Nicholls, mostly people who know nothing about football I guess. He has been played sparadically and when he played is normally out wide.. players like him play best when a team actually has wingers, not just going through the middle all game every game. Get at least one player in the squad with a bit of pace and he will flourish. There is a reason Peterborough didn’t want to sell him. You can see he has bags of ability.

Yeah, bringing James back to the mem would be a huge waste of time.

Not even making it at FGR is significant in my book - reckon he'll be lucky to find conference club at his rate of demise

You were probably the same person mocking Taylor in his early days, and mocking lambert in his early days.. people like you are what’s wrong with football fans.

He is technically a good player and I do agree that he would improve if we try and play on the ground more and with more pace. However you can't say he has played sporadically, he has had numerous opportunities considering his lack of goals. And if Peterborough didn't want to sell him then they wouldn't of...

Didn't we do that v Pompey? James & Nichols seem v. similar players and the fact FGR have told James to find a new club suggests it can't be just the way we play makes them look poor. What's a worry is DC felt both James & Nichols were decent strikers!
