Seems once Rovers interest was told to him Tom decided he would like to come here. Perhaps the boo boys helped our case but also the fact he was brought up in Somerset & his parents live there now must have been a factor. Peterborough is miles away & hardly a metropolis. Also I expect we offered his a similar or perhaps better deal & his mates Liam Sercombe & Marcus Stewart are here too. Alll adds up to the perfect match.

Two excellent signings - both could hold down first team positions in most L1 clubs - once again DC & Wael working the magic!

I thought the original Severside stadium plans hit the dust as there were concerns any chemical incident at the docks would endanger supporters lives at the stadium, have the docks changed so much that's no longer a danger? Perhaps this is all a cunning plan by Wael to force the UWE's hand at the death, he joins the forum as "thegasfc" then starts a load of random threads about players we should sign etc to cover his true identify, then suggests the club have found a plot of cheaper land at Avonmouth, I sense the UWE will have dropped their asking price by a few million by lunch time tomorrow Changed times at Avonmouth now, only one chemical works left, the former ICI works now under new ownership. Philblacks, Albemarle, Rhodia etc now long gone and sites cleared. Exactly the genuinely "dangerous" chemical sites are now all gone & it is fast developing as a logistics centre with many retailers having their distributon depots there due to excellent Motorway links.

Everyone loves DC but signing league winning players is not his or Rovers' forte! Two promotions in 3 seasons - nuff said!

All the Gas trying to tell DC how to run the show - give it a break & let him do what he does very well!

Our club is in a far better position now both on & off the field and financially since he took over. Surely that's enough to give him time and support to get things right! I think he has been a breath of fresh air and there is light at the end of the very long tunnel.

They spent millions on Milan Duric & the Swedish striker Engvall, bought Matty for peanuts & now spend another £5.3m on another striker. In the meantime they extend the deal for that old geezer Wibraham - suggests either the others see no good or just a plain panic buy!

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. Marriott played against us for both Woking and Luton in recent seasons & I have to admit he looked extremely ordinary! It could be £400k down the pan! UTG

Happy with that, needs to up his game, like a few others - but has been integral in our success over the last 3 seasons and can be a real threat at this level.

Don't particularly rate Coulthirst or Nichols - both a bit lightweight like Luke James. It's not as if Peterborough are that fantastic!

If we sign two decent strikers fair doos if we dont i will be concerned as Gaffney and Harrison are league 2 standard. ....except both played a significant part in a) getting us out of L2 & b) consolidating a very strong season in L1 - so in reality they deserve a bit more credit that that. They are both decent L1 strikers, the question is are they able to take us further and as of now we have to trust in DCs decision that they can.

I'm glad that Ellis is staying. He does need to improve in areas but he has a goal in his locker and more than capable of winning games single handed with one flash of quality. Additional if DC agreed to offer him a new deal that should be enough for all of us to know the lad is worth it.

Never mind you won't have to worry about that next season so the question now is who is the player you are going to pick on next season Harrison is going elsewhere? That's good news. Hope we sign James as I think he'll get as many as EH would and he's a much harder working player. Guess based on no evidence whatsoever!!

If this is true and like LJG I sensed it would happen because of DCs ego, had I known sooner I would not have renewed our season tickets ....we pay to be entertained, we travel length and breadth of the country to watch a headless chicken run around. No one else will touch him ....it's an absolute disgrace and complete slap in the face for the fans. Three goals in three seasons none in 30 games for us and we resign him .... utter bollocks and the real indicator of our inability as a club to sign better ... Top six budget and he seemingly hasn't a clue how to spend it !! Absolutely fuming and that's before we see Billy and Leds walking out the door possibly .... Wait all that time for a signing, "top six budget , making a move this season "and we get this . One has to ask if this is serious or not - unbelievable comments based entirely on rumour!

Ellis has a lot to offer at L1 level - we need to have him on board for next season. As for a Luke, love his effort but really rarely looked like scoring.
