Spark! I've got reservations about this one but it's more about gut feeling than conclusive evidence.I just think he's an expensive journeyman.I hope I'm proved wrong.
No dont know this for a fact but it was quite widely reported in the media, Rangers also stated he would have to drastically reduce his wages to come back.
By the way Sparky I see you have been putting in some good work on the wurzels board, I can see how much your appreciated over there. I was doing something similar myslef with QPR until I got banned from their board
Good morning all. Sparkey, I have to share ITIWRAN's (how ya doin' Bob?), on this one. I'd rather hoped we'd passed the stage of recruiting lost souls and journeymen. Still I suppose MM is having to build virtually from scratch in all aspects - personnel, tactics and attitudes! Let's hope he's up to the challenge. I am encouraged by his use of the phrase "my club". Let's hope he can instill the same in the players.
Morning Bobby & Clingo - got my reservations as well TBH, but Miller CAN score goals, he's proved it. BTW, Ace - I'm trying my best with the Wurzels, but I think I'll need a hand over there if we're ever going to wake them up.
I'm hoping this IS the chairman.There's been a few Mike Yarwood types on here lately.If it is welcome back Cling I hope your health problems are under control. If you're an imposter I will out you.
Will do my best sparkey, I started following your best efforts over there when I saw a comment along the lines of - turnip munching, straw chewing, smock wearing twat Brilliant
All ready done mate I can confirm he has passed the "fit and proper person test" and is the genuine article
Mentioned on another thread, that at the game last night the gossip was subject to a medical it was a "done deal" now whether this was a forest "done deal" or the real thing I don't know, but the rumours were pretty consistent. On the subject of rumours, I heard that unless Ipswich come up with a massive offer Whitts is going nowhere, this was from a normally reliable source and was borne out by the way MM wanted to play last night, Whitts is obviously a big part of his plans and looks like MM wants to use him as the main playmaker
Back on thread - don't forget Malky knows Miller from his Scottish history (not sure if he played with him) and Malky is not renowned for splashing cash unecessarily - maybe it's a Jock thing. His time at Derby apart, Miller has a goal per 3 games track record so if he notched 15 minimum for us with Earnie and Whitts weighing in with similar tallies and Mason gets a few that puts well on track goals scored wise. Wages could be an issue but I guess the owners will have given a steer on that. Last night showed we desperately need more fire power and he could well be the man although a different way of playing will be needed.
BfB! Why would he give up a rumoured £50,000 a week two an a half deal after just over six months with the Turkish clubs blessing? Does make you wonder what we are paying him.
Miller is unhappy in Turkey, his wife & daughter couldn’t settle and went home, he's looking for a move back to the UK so they can be together. He's likely to take a drop in wages, he just want's out.
According to Wikipedia Kenny Miller is already a Cardiff player anyway here is his club scoring record. Years Team Appsâ (Gls)â 1998â2000 Hibernian 45 (12) 1998â1999 → Stenhousemuir (loan) 11 (8) 2000â2001 Rangers 30 (8) 2001 → Wolverhampton (loan) 5 (2) 2001â2006 Wolverhampton 162 (50) 2006â2007 Celtic 33 (7) 2007â2008 Derby County 30 (4) 2008â2011 Rangers 81 (49) 2011 Bursaspor 15 (5) 2011- Cardiff City 0 (0) Total 412 (145)
The phrase that struck me was "He's a top footballer and getting better and better." At 31 how much better can a player get? 3 in 1 is an okay return but at 31 surely he is only going to slow down. Really not sure if the rumoured £800k is money well spent tbh. But he will be a hero if he comes on board and scores a hat full.
Well i hear terms have been agreed an d a medical is taking place now, so wages not such a big issue? Don't know when we will get official confirmation with the meds being this late.
