Sorry, I don't get the point your making. 2M in 1998 is approx 2.9M in todays money. We got more then i would argue pro rata than Higgs deals. I'm still struggling to find out what inflation has got to do with my post?

Miller flopped big time at Luton in Div 2 before being dismissed after an alleged race/drink related violent incident, why would anybody want him at Rovers when he needs to prove himself again in Div 2, if anybody will take the risk?
He was sub mainly while at Luton. remember Matty T couldn't get into the FGR team most of the time.
Miller first came to my attention ironically against FGR in last seasons play offs; he was aggressive, chased everything, comfortable in the air and had a good shot on him. Its no surprise to me he has scored so many already.
As for the arrest, which he was released for by the way, you don't have to like him as a person as long as he is scoring goals. People have done much worse and still played professionally.
TBH I was concerned how he would fit in with the players not the fans! DC's clearly built a tight knit squad of players so how would a seemingly loose canon fit in? Plus he's hardly a youngster.

He has a 1 in 2 strike rate pretty much everywhere he has been, albeit in the conference but from what i've seen of him he has the attributes to make it in L1.
There is no proof he is a loose cannon, he was cleared of charges and that should be that. Our current players may be close knit but there no saying they are all angels either, or DC for that matter. I like strikers with a bit of a nasty streak, didn't do Vardy any harm.

Referencing previous chairmen getting equivalent sums from previous custodians of the club by giving example of Unindexed values onfustifated the real purchasing power of those sums in current terms.

After a hatrick the weekend, Ricky Miller now has 21 goals in all comps. Playing for Dover on bt sport tonight against Cambridge. Never seen him play so I'm quite interested to see if he would be a suitable replacement for Matty T

I heard from someone who spoke to one of our scouts recently that he was impressed with the lad Reeves from AFC Wimbledon. Their other lad Poleon looks a good prospect too!

Were we not linked to Poleon two summers ago? Not sure. I think he was at Oldham or Leeds?

Do you trust DC to spend money wisely and to actually do what he is always saying. Personally I have my doubts. He has been "moving players on" for 2 years in his head but I think it is one centre half and a few youth players that he has "moved on". Then lets look at the squad, Mildenhall "he wont play for us again, oh yes he will. It's a panto, and not a good one. Gosling, ah I bet you had forgotten about him. Speaking of which Lawrence, a "good signing" 99% of gasheads said (I was the 1%)Where is he? Does anyone think he can still bring something to the table? (Make mine a pastie Lawrence old boy). Mc Crystal, should have left over the summer but was duped in to believing he would play. Then there is our penalty hero. Time up Mr Mansell. Lets move on to the team. Roos gets a lot of stick but maybe he should change his name to lady gardene. Having said that being Dutch he should be used to plugging up holes. Daniel Leadbitter, so easily pushed off the ball; he better not go to the January sales he will be murdered by those women. Lockyear, like a good bottle of vintage champagne; undropable. Then Hartley, slow, cumbersome. Why did we sign a player from a division below? Surely we would have been better signing one from above? Having said that the mysterious Mr Moore. A little better than Billy, but it's like saying the fist slice in the loaf is better than the second, not a lot between them. Then the Clarkes. I have always like Ollie, but he is as consistant as the weather, and on the showing of today James should look around. Hero and good bloke Brown. Sorry to say has reached his level. Lines, lots of faults but has the experience and the vision the others don't. Oh how we wish that Mr Easter was 10 years younger. Sinclair, gives everything every game. Runs for 90 minutes plus injury, but is far too often out of position and lacks the vision to put through a good forward pass. Gaffney, getting better, because at the moment he is not good enough. Harrison, another one who "would not play for the club again". We should have left it at that point. Monty and James I think both could be an asset but both would blossom because they are both skilful, they just need to practice taking the ball down from head height because that is the passes they are getting at the moment. DC has talked the talk over and over about players "being on their way" I have yet to see any action. In fact he has kept players on even though they will never play for us again. If you ever get to speak to him, then ask him what his favourite song is. I bet it is "Never can say goodbye"

We are lacking player who can lead, coach and organise on the pitch. We don't have generals out there.
