    Have they paid the players yet though? Bit behind the last I noticed. A terrible sign that mind.

    They just always seem to come out smelling of roses. **** club imo, but i said last season when they signed Wyke etc, they've learned nothing from nearly going to the wall, splashed the cash so to speak, and it worked for them last season. Let's see how sweet the roses are this year even though they can't pay players.

    This would be a cracking signing if we could get him, really good player I reckon he’ll go to the top - would fit in alongside Evans.

    Don't know a thing about this kid though, is he any good? What sort of midfielder is he?

    Some Rotherham fans on Twitter can’t believe Ellis Simms would pick us over them and can’t understand any reason why he would other than money :D

    Agree. Our xG was 'wrong' when when we had Maja, but quickly returned to mean once didn't have a forward better than the league. But we've also know for a hundred years that getting crosses in leads to goals. xG is just writing this all down statistically to make money. I wish I'd though of it! :emoticon-0100-smile

    ps Sorry if I'm derailing the thread. I have no information, but predict that the Broadhead thing will get sorted. I also predict that we will get another midfielder to play next to Evans but Dan Neil will keep him out of the team. I think how Dan Neil works out this year will decide how well we do.

    Surely even the biggest Rotherham fan can see why.

    It isn’t even arrogant to say that we’re a much, much bigger club.

    Hes an attacking midfielder, unreal with the ball at his feet but is positionally really poor. Cant see it happening as his best role would be as a no10. Would prefer charlie savage, really good deep lying midfielder- would be great alongside evans when neil needs a rest

    Sits in the middle as a playmaker. Really good at carrying the ball forward, quick and quite tall, loves threading through balls and pinging the ball around. United signed him from Monaco for about £6-7m when he was 16 iirc. Was playing for united U23’s at 17. Played for France youth teams then switched to Tunisia and already has 16 caps for them.

    exactly. I’m normally quite placid about other fans not thinking we are a good move. I wouldn’t even mind them thinking it’s a 50/50 thing. But then thinking it’s absolutely inexplicable, is just ridiculous.

    Just had a quick search to see if I can find anything likened to how he plays and someone’s posted this if you can be arsed to watch a bit of it :emoticon-0102-bigsm first minute or so you can see what he’d bring and what we lack big style.

    I saw Blackpool have met the min fee release clause of Cameron Branaghan today (£1.5m).
    I’d have been all over that.
