You heard it here first. He's been spotted at the training ground.

Not sure why or what but he's there.

Would be an excellent partner for Stockley. Great news if true.

Has he been released by Rovers?

No, still under contract so presumably would command a fee.

I think he’d be a very good signing and is the sort of player we’re packing up front. Has good movement, has a bit of pace plus can finish. He’s only 24 too so plenty of time left in his career.

I’m still sceptical if this is true though as you’d imagine Nichols would want to prove a point at Rovers after having a poor first season.

Rovers paid £350k for him a year ago so surely they would want some of that back. That said don't they have a rich foreign backer?

Angus : did you get your info from Taggy, the groundsman or the tea lady. We need to know. Or was it "a friend"?

It could be that he's just keeping his fitness ticking over, during the summer by training a the C&F?

I'm unconvinced. Whilst I think he's the type of player that could work with Stockley he hasn't been pulling trees since he left us and has been a flop at The Gas. Personally I think if there's a fee involved he's too much of a risk.

Read the poster rather than the post in this case.

1 goal in 3 with us, 1 in 5 at the Posh and 1 in 39 at the gas! Not a big fee for sure on current record. They may be glad to free up a wage.

Could work with Stockley but still unconvinced that he will be coming
