Just googled Luke James when it comes up it say he plays for Peterborough but current team Hartlepool.

Well I've just googled Luke James and he's now a New Orleans born R&B star. He's also now black.

It makes those who said he was badly advised look a bit daft.

I read somewhere he wants to come on loan back to North East

I googled myself last week n a picture of my wife's ex boyfriend appeared.

Explain that!

Would you want a player with the poor attitude he showed in the last weeks he was here not me

Shall we start a sweep stake on how long it'll be before Brain Clough pops on with


Luke James - welcome back son and good luck.

He's done nothing no one else would do .. Let's be honest here if someone comes in and offers you better pay and conditions you'd all be off like a rat up a drainpipe

I would really love to know exactly what went on and who said what that made him go on strike.

I thought I told you a lot of it

Poor attitude???

Really??

The way I remember it was he worked harder than any other player at the club. Came through the ranks in outstanding fashion then sat on the bench for a year while a certain striker was giving 90 mins each and every week (by a manager who now people like because he won a cup in Scotland) despite being absolutely shite.

He then regained his place won every award possible, kept us up and noticed like everyone else that the season was going to be s huge struggle. Why on earth would he want to stay??

His choices were risk non league football on a pittance or go to league 1 to a team that is a stepping stone for a shot at the big time on much more money. He was then messed about because Ken wanted this deal to go through last minute of deadline day so the money wasn't spent. He then tried to get this deal through ( as you would).

I'd have him back in a heartbeat and can't understand why anyone wouldn't want him. He's one of the hardest working footballers Iv ever watched

If Pools can sign him, even on loan, then they should. He would come with a point to prove and would maybe want to make up for what happened last year. Which could only be good for Pools.

His ratio suits the type of strikers we usually buy. Ie 1 in 30 odd games or whatever.

No thanks, massively overrated.

I remember around 1 in 3 for the lowest scoring team in the country last time we had him for a season.

His stats at Peterborough ain't good but he spent a lot of time on the bench.

He was played of the year and players player for us plus top scorer but aye over rated!! Very small memory is all I can say

His goals season before last more or less retained our league status.
We been dodgeing bullets to the conference two years running.
He probably realised what was coming and did the right thing getting away.
It hasent worked out for him at Peterborough but im sure hes still got better days in front of him.

Before the toys went out the pram, which was more likely to be down to his agent, he was one of the most popular and promisings player along with Duckworth and Walker. He's a young kid who was badly advised and had his head turned by the bright lights of Peterborough. I'd have him back in a shot but he might find it harder to get games now there is actually competition up front.

Not having a dig at all Mr Pooliecrab but it did make chuckle when I read '..head turned by the bright lights of Peterborough.'

Bet you won't hear/read that too often

I'll go along with that. People do have small memories at times when it suits them.

I would have him back yes but the fact you think john Hughes is a shit manager is ridiculous.

I'd hardly say James burst onto the scene in outstanding fashion either. He was a breath of fresh air in an absolutely dire season. A season where if john Hughes had had his points per game ratio would of kept us up all season. Don't get me wrong, a lot of them games were boring as fuck but the squad was significantly out of its depth in league 1.

Ever thought with your somehow constructed views IOR only sold James on final day to not spend money that they may also have insisted on Howard, who was rumoured to be on a shit load of wages, had to play it available? Again it's all rumour unless you know the ins and outs of the club and the way it was ran? A certain Danny Wilson left Joel porter on the bench for around 1/3 of the promotion season from league 2 when he was here, don't seem to recall him being a shit manager.

Anyways, if it's plausible, bring Luke back. But not if it means no signings in other much more needed areas of the team.

Ahhhh you again. Do you only post to quote me?? It's getting very repetitive.

We're did I say he was a shit manager?? You obviously have a problem with English. Never mind though, you crack on

You need to read it properly chunky, he was saying the forward who got 90 minutes each week was shite!

although I may have misread, you can't just fabricate things you believe to be true.

it may well be ( and I think likely too) that IOR always sell on deadline day to use it as an excuse not to spend money, that they also insisted Howard played every game if he was available.

I will crack on though, heaven forbid people make mistakes when reading and post their own opinions.

also, if you believe I only post to quote you, then in your own words, crack on

Lukes agent obviously had a massive part to play in his move, like has been previously said got his head turned and that was that. Still played even though he wanted to go and as I recall didn't get that much stick, would love to see him back in a pools shirt

his attitude when he played was good, was just the skipping training.

but maybe he knew IOR would try to stop it so forcing it through? Would definitely have him back as long as doesn't stop any other more important positions are filled first.....defence is looking lot better so onto wingers and another striker perhaps.

actually a fullback and keeper(s) too. some work to go but happy so far
