It makes a difference because, IMO, DC doesn’t get £500k to spend in the summer if the club hasn’t received £300k from losing our best player 6 months earlier. Either way, £500k is nothing in L1 nowadays. If £350k gets you Nichols in today’s market, then we need £1.5m+ at least to turn our team into a top 6 one! (and ideally, not money we have from selling our best players) £500K is nothing? How much did Shrewsbury & Oldham and yesterday's opponents spend in the summer? I don’t get your point? Shrewsbury are having the kind of freak season that can happen every now and then (see Leicester 2015-16) and we’re level on points with Doncaster and Oldham. Doncaster are in their promotion momentum season after coming up last year and Oldham are an established L1 club. We’re in our second season back in L1 and until last summer, had barely spent any money on adding quality additions to the squad that got us up from the conference and L2. Nichols does look like money wasted as this point though, and I’m sure DC regrets that signing now. Having some kind of scouting network would probably help him out a bit, though.

No Shrewsbury just made some very shrewd signings both permanent and on loan that you have to give them credit for. The likes of Nolan, Payne, Rodman, Beckles and Morris would walk into our team and were all players im sure we could easily have signed. I told Rovers about Nolan and Beckles myself while they were playing for Grimsby and Accrington respectively

Most teams in the division spent roughly that much
