Free Press saying he is off. McCann given him permission to speak to another club. Leaves us a bit light up front, even if Miller didn’t quite fit in with the McCann set up anyway.
-
Interesting. If we played one up top I presume he’d be behind Ironside and Sharp in the pecking order, and maybe he doesn’t want to be forced out wide. It’d be a gamble for another club given he hasn’t played for a year.
-
Hopefully we get a fee that covers some of his wages from last season.
-
Real shame. I was looking forward to him partnering ironside sometimes in a front two.
-
It wouldn’t surprise me if McCann brings in a loan now, especially one with pace to give us another option. Enough quality if we don’t, but it looks light now, especially as Billy is not going to be a 90 minute player like Ironside.
-
Don't know why,but Ive had a gut feeling we still in market for a striker,even though all the signs say not and GM saying we are probably done for now,if this is true then we may have someone else lined up,maybe it's Miller himself who is wanting a better chance of more first team minutes and got more chance if he moves,good look to him.
Oh and I have a pretty big gut! :laugh:
-
I would imagine GM's been planning this since he signed Billy.
-
We have plenty of attacking options for a front 3. One up with two in support means George’s game time would be limited. Right decision by/for him if he moves on. We were never going to play a front 2.
-
Confirmed by Grant.

Confirmed by Grant.
What has been confirmed?
-
The Free Press has quoted Grant saying that he has given permission to Miller to speak to another club.
-
Miller out, Adelukan still no club ….
-
50-50 on this we know he's got good ability. Yes his injury has been a big setback but I'm surprised. We would surely need a replacement.
-
I imagine GM will want to bring one in even if a loan if Miller does go. I'm not disappointed he works hard and gives it everything but he won't do anything higher than league 2 level.
-
Our best spell last season was when we had absolutely zero back up for Ironside. We start the season with admittedly older, but our best striker of the last quarter century as his back up. We could do with a third option, but zero sleep lost if we start season with Ironside and Sharp.

Not sure because I haven't seen him play, but didn't Bristol City suggest Yeboah could play anywhere up front, including centrally? Not that it means anything but Transfermarkt has him as a CF. Anybody able to comment?
-
Yeboah was making good runs when up front. He also to me looks lost out wide.
Not sure on him yet to be honest but he doesn’t look like a winger to me.
-
Headless chicken no loss IMO
-
Very disappointed to hear about Miller. He's not been given the chance to play no 9 through pre-season so maybe he feels he's not getting a fair crack. Like others I would've liked to seem him playing in a two or a three up front as an alternative to Ironside.
Yebeoah doesn't look like an alternative to me from what I've seen. Not very strong in the challenge, losing possession too easily. There were a couple of opportunities for him to get on the end of crosses in the Middlesbrough game but he made half arsed efforts rather than attacking the ball.
Very much doubt Adelakun would be on the radar or would even consider coming back.
-
Should end up at Leicester, loads of crisp packets up there
-
I’m not massively surprised tbh
-
I would now go for a young target man striker who wouldn't mind being down the pecking order as one to develop.
No one else in our attack can do the job Ironside does - which is crucial to the way we play.
He is hardly ever injured but is in the wars every game. He needs someone similar to him like what we had with Biamou.
-
Heard a few names banded about replacements. Went to Hillsborough today, someone was telling me we were in for Michael Smith on loan, but I dismissed it. Now maybe some truth in it? Owls are also looking to loan out Wills & Cadamatteri, Adelakun also me ruined as an option?
-
Matt Smith still an option.
-
Personally not too upset about this. Nothing against the lad and wish him the best but I can't see him taking a step up with us to L1 and potentially would be going for free end of season so if we can pick up a fee then do so.
I'd love to see Max Biammo back, I thought he looked quality.
I'm over Haks, personally wouldn't want him back. Rather save the wages and give Hurst the chance to shine.
-
Makes sense missed a big chunk of last season , out of contract next summer I think we could get a better replacement on lower wages and who we might develop rather than a player wanting to play week in week out
-

Micheal Smith more likely to go back to Rotherham, certainly that's what a couple of Millers fans were saying.
I'd also love to see a fit Max Biamou back here too. Has a bit of everything. Class act.

Agree with Biamou.

Think a lot of Millers fans fell out with Smudge when he left for the Owls in league one when they had been promoted to the Championship and would not welcome him back with open arms

Since when have players took into account fans feelings , all about money nowadays not many players have morals
-
Would have liked him to stay as he would score goals in this team. Can understand why he wants out though as he’s going to be 3rd choice and after having a season without playing you need to bounce back with games.
Wouldn’t rush into replacing him. Save our loan spaces for Jan imo.
-
Any whispers as to where Miller is off to? Got to be someone else at this level surely? Would be surprised if he got a L1 move.

Walsall strongly linked

Best for both parties in my opinion. Expect him to stay at this level though.
-

I could be way off but listening to what Evans is planning for his little bits and bobs to complete his squad, I wouldn't be surprised if Miller ends up a Miller.
-
Dingles still looking for a Devante Cole replacement,surely not? Mind you,if Cole can get a move to WBA then owt can happen

The final "Peace" in a Flour Power Attack !.... "grind the buggers down"
-
If he wants to leave, fair enough. Can’t wonder though if this is a mistake. Billy is a short term signing and miller still has development in him. Let’s remember, he still got a decent amount of goals 2 seasons back playing in some pretty awful teams.
Hope this doesn’t come back to bite us on the arse
-
Another one spends a year injured, getting paid, gets fit and wants out
-
George would be a decent signing for any mid / lower league 2 club who plays a 3-5-2/4-4-2. He is hard-working and has good poacher’s instincts.
Even if he does well elsewhere, he wasn’t going to fit in a McCann team as a striker as he isn’t physically strong enough and let’s be honest link up play is very poor.
-
Another one spends a year injured, getting paid, gets fit and wants out
From his view he’s finally got fit and we’ve brought in Billy Sharp and pushed him down the pecking order.
Absolutely no issues with him wanting to move on in my eyes.
-
Obviously McCann doesn’t rate or want him otherwise why would he let him go? There also might be someone he does want but needed to get a player out first before bringing them in.

Agree with this, also he was brought to play in one side / set up, and McCann comes in and plays something totally different. This happens, and better him moving on to get a start, than warming bench on what will be a good wage for us.
-
Would be a good player for Harrogate Town.
Think he could suit the way they play.
Yes I was hoping he would be an important squad player for us this season. If he goes I think we need a replacement.
A younger striker on loan or if Max Biamou is fit then he would be brilliant off the bench or if Ironside gets an injury or needs a rest after 65 mins in some games.
Don’t think we can expect Billy to play many if any 90 min games and it’s good to have 2 striker options on the bench.
-
We need options up front, I don't think any teams want to be one trick ponies.
As said by others too, I would like to see more of two up front and was itching to see Miller and Sharp to see how that dynamic worked, but we've seen precious little. Miller being a more off the shoulder player with Billy the fox in the box. To date, when we've seen Billy take to the field, have we changed anything to play to his strengths?
With Miller, you have the option of playing both through, and over the top, with good chances he can get on the end of things. That isn't going to happen with Billy, he hasn't got the legs to chase down those.
As mentioned earlier, Biamou provided that option last season which is ideal for counter attacking football/fast breaks. (He actually got injured when we scored from a fast break when he squared it for Tommy Rowe to finish)

I can agree with this but in GM we trust, let's see who comes in, but I must admit a part of me thinks a fit Miller could still do well in league 1 with the right team around.
Good luck to him if he goes and it will be interesting who we bring in.
-
Just to add a fit Biamou for me too
-
Anyone know if Biamou has been training anywhere?
Miller was really hard working but it was obvious in the friendlies that he didn’t fit in being played almost as a winger (cracking cross he put in for Ironside though)
Good luck to the lad
-
Another club makes an offer .CEO discusses with GM .At that price can you use the money to strengthen . Yes! , OK Allow player to talk to the interested party and start looking to strengthen ..like Lo Tutela?

Whatever we think of Miller he is a goalscorer & this will weaken our options, even from the bench or starting he would be worth 10/12 goals a season. I don't believe with the detetmination of McCann for us to be up there this season that he hasn't got a replacement in mind.
-
George is not a bad player, but I doubt he could compete with Billy or Joe for a starting place and wants out, if he isn't willing to fight and improve to compete then let him go, no use to us having somebody like that in the squad.
-
What sort of fee will command for him ? Or will it be an ‘undisclosed’ ?

I think he’d be a good signing for all those clubs mid table ish, Salford, Crewe, Colchester, Swindon, Harrogate etc
He is too good to be sat on our bench playing third fiddle behind Billy and Joe.
As mentioned above he’s looked out of place pre season if we replace him with a wide forward we have strengthened the squad again.

Would any clubs loan us a young striker for them to be 3rd choice?
I would take Biamou back in a heartbeat. Won’t cost much and low risk with the depth we have
-
If we are to replace George, I would happily take Louie Marsh back if he was available. Don’t think we or the player were a good fit at the time and was obviously cut short. Both in a better place now.
-
We knew Biamou was a risk when we signed him short term, due to his recovery from injury and given he got injured again, I doubt (sadly) he was even a consideration. As we know now, Billy was on the radar with Miller already here, so I doubt they would take the same risk on Biamou when we don't have to (even if he's fit and available).
Do we think Miller wanting away is a surprise? Maybe so, as for any manager, keeping all your striker options happy isn't easy.
It sounds to me like another club hasn't made an official approach and it's probably Miller himself, or hs agent, who's
Instigated this, having thought he's not going to get regular enough starts. Alfie May was in a similar situation and was prepared to move to get more guaranteed game time.
McCann will have to think hard whether we need to replace Miller. Tend to think, if anything, it'll be a loan as offering terms to someone who might be third fiddle isn't very attractive.
-
Another one spends a year injured, getting paid, gets fit and wants out
thats what struck me straight away
feels a bit out of order but GM might think its a selection problem going away and maybe we'll get a few quid
-
I don’t think it is him ‘ wanting away ‘ rather the club accepting that the offer is financially interesting to them so they throw the ball over to the player .
-
Hope we are getting a fee for him. Yes, he wouldn't be first choice but he'd be a good option from the bench for us. Now it looks like we won't have that option. But if we can use the cash to strengthen elsewhere, it makes sense to let him go.
-
I don’t think it is him ‘ wanting away ‘ rather the club accepting that the offer is financially interesting to them so they throw the ball over to the player .
Dunno Graingrover, with the article saying "Miller has one year left on his contract but it's unclear whether the mooted move will be a loan or permanent deal" doesn't sound like a firm offer has been made.
Of course that could be just speculation from the DFP with very few 'in the know'.
-
Let’s just hope that if nowt had happened with Miller come Saturday, and he’s in our match day squad, we give him the same support as any other player. He might not particularly want to leave, just had interest from elsewhere via his agent.?
-
Another one spends a year injured, getting paid, gets fit and wants out
From his view he’s finally got fit and we’ve brought in Billy Sharp and pushed him down the pecking order.
Absolutely no issues with him wanting to move on in my eyes.
Rather than stay and fight for his place?
-
We must have someone in mind to replace him. Going into the new season with only 2 proven strikers would worry me.

Agreed, its a predicament if Ironsde gets injured, do we change all our shape and setup to accommodate Billy?
It may just be the stars aligning and if/when Miller moves on we get someone who could be a vital link in our campaign for next season.
-
Yeboah can play as a striker if needed, I think McCann is most likely going to identify another winger to replace miller, it’s his high demand area and hopefully he’s playing his cards very close to his chest to get the key player he wants at the end of the window
That’s what I would do if i had to replace miller anyway, I know we have had our injury worries over the years, but what’s the real likelihood of either Ironside and sharp being injured at same time? Or both out of form? Slim IMO
-
It is great to be able to stay cool on matters like this because we have GM in the driving seat .

If he's been told that's a long shot why wouldn't he want to move on? For him there's a big world outside his current club, he doesn't just see the drfc angle as we do.
-
I’ve always thought we were dressing George up to be much bigger for us than he had the potential to be. Probably due to desperation at the time.
Good luck to him.

I think that’s a little harsh. In his first season with us he scored at a rate of 1 in 3 in a side that created absolutely nothing so I think he has the ability to be a good League Two striker. That said, he would be third choice here (and by some distance) so given we only play one up front and he really doesn’t suit that system I can see why we’re letting him go. It’s not worth hanging onto a player who will be unhappy with 15 minute cameos here and there, not even playing second fiddle.
-
A lot of guessing going on,including by myself,but until we find out the truth,we should keep an open mind why it's happening.
-
Going on what GM has said it would appear George has gone about this in the right way, whereby he must have asked for permission to speak to another Club, as Grant gave him permission.
The next thing is, I suppose, is that terms will be discussed and then the other Club will make a bid for George. If it’s acceptable to us, he’ll leave. Conversely, if it isn’t acceptable, he’ll still be with us, unless and until an acceptable offer comes in.
GM has said in the past that he prefers to have 3 strikers on board, so the chances are he’ll try to replace him, if he leaves. But, this could throw up further options - only time will tell. I would think this is the last thing GM would want with less than a week to the big kick off!
-
I don’t see any reason GM would announce it in the media if it wasn’t almost a done deal?
He normally keeps things under wraps
-
Or put it out there to make others aware and get price up, that's if there is a price, he may well go for zero

Why bother when he's 3rd choice and he can get guaranteed football elsewhere? It's a no-brainer for him and he probably thought 'I'm off' as soon as we signed Sharp.
-
We must have someone in mind to replace him. Going into the new season with only 2 proven strikers would worry me.
We've got short memories, it wasn't long ago we had to put up with Tiago Cukur or Joe Dodoo up front.
If Miller leaves we've got Ironisde or Sharp, two fantastic strikers. Add in support from some of our other attacking players, plus potential loans - I'm not worried at all.
-
Anyone think we'll be looking on down line at another Watters/May scenario?

If Ironside gets injured early doors, we're instantly worried. I don't need to remind folk about Brighton all those years ago. All looking good, then in no time at all, Sharp and Hayter out with long term injuries. We still had Chris Brown and young Ryan Mason, until he got crocked the very next game.
Now of course, that's extreme bad luck but, we need cover to maintain the way McCann wants to play. Hopefully, Miller gets sorted one way or the other very quickly, so we can move on.
-
I would expect we have been keeping some irons in the fire in regards of more incomings, especially loans, to cover any bad injuries pre season. Losing Miller to a transfer would be similar so I believe there would be options available to come in at least before the end of the window..
-
Anyone think we'll be looking on down line at another Watters/May scenario?
Nothing like Watters but not dissimilar to May.
Miller through pre season hasn't had the chance to play his preferred position. He was left at home for the trip to Portugal (Even if he was rehabilitating, being part of the group for bonding purposes surely it was worth taking him?)
All speculation of course but maybe George wasn't feeling the love and like Alfie, at his age and given he missed all last season, wants to be somewhere he thinks he's likely to play as a striker.
Personally, I think he's more likely to score more than Billy and would rather he stayed to fight for his place and show what a good goalscorer he is.
Alfie had the potential although I thought he was more likely to evolve into a no 10 role to take over Copps role. A very clever, energetic, skillful footballer, who would have created and scored goals, although at the time maybe not at a prolific rate as Marquis. Only hindsight has shown he was capable of being a prolific marksman and showing what a clown Moore is.
I don't think Miller has the same potential as Alfie but he will score goals.

Miller to Newport ??
They've just sold Will Evans.
-
If that’s the case, we ought to wait until after we’ve played them! ;)

Wouldn't surprise me, they've brought in 12 up to now!

If this midfielder from West Ham is signing then that’s likely Yeboah as the 3rd choice striker.
Sbarra and Gibson can both provide back up to Molyneux’s RW position.
On the transfermarkt pages if you scroll down on these it shows how many times they’ve played in each position:

From the three games I've seen Yeboah, I haven't seen anything to suggest he's a striker, even a makeshift one. What do others think who've watched him?
-
I have only seen the millers game, and Yeboah looked clumsy and lightweight. That said perhaps not fair to judge a player over 1 game.
-
Seems to have gone quiet, I honestly thought with Grant speaking about it, it was pretty much done.
Anyone heard anything more?
-
Not heard or seen owt but tomorrow's press day and if any new signings who are likely to be in the frame for Saturday, for their new teams, it's a fair bet, they'll be announced tomorrow.
-
I wonder if there's been an issue with a medical. Remember he wasn't expected back until January.

Actually, it occurred to me about his injury and wondered whether, GM and Rennie assessed him as being a high risk of the injury recurring, and felt it's better to let him go whilst he is 'fit' and gain something from his remaining contract.
-
Thought McCann would have looked at McGuckin at Rotherham.
Young Northern Irish u21 player. Good size and can play centre forward, no.10 or on the right wing.
-
How do you know he hasn’t?
-
McCann has confirmed Miller is definitely off, and it is a permanent move. Will happen imminently.

Is this McCann being ruthless? Seems confident in his 'front 6' but from our point of view, does it leave us vulnerable. Obviously there's time in the window should he feel we're short up front.
-
All the best to him wherever he goes, seems it was amicable.
-
Great Interview, ‘He’s way down the pecking order’ suggests he’s not for GM, and he’s been honest with him.

Seems that way, which is a shame as I don't think we saw his full potential and what he can do in a good team.
-
A shame about his injury because he was a great player for us, and I hope he has success wherever he goes now.

Looking like his replacement is not too far away! ;)

I’ve still got this suspicion that it will be Haks, the way he shut down the reporter! Maybe he wants to just keep his name off the radar, I hope I’m right, that said he did fade a touch in the last few games! Thoughts ?
-
I think the other way , he think he’s burnt his bridges with McCann and it will be a premier league loanee striker for the season
-
Or championship loan player
-
Never say never!

Never

Gone to Cheltenham Town.
-
Second striker they’ve had from us
COYR
-
That’s a great move for him, fair play everyone is a winner here
-
They have an experienced target man in Ryan Bowman for him to play off. That should get the best out of him.
They’ve been tipped to struggle this year but that’s a smart signing.
Good luck George. Can’t fault your attitude.

Not sure I’d be delighted if I was a Cheltenham fan. Good luck to the lad though and all the best.
-
Good luck to him. I think he'll do okay there.
-
They're CEO is a shrewd fella. He knew they were likely to drop down, but they made a really good fist at trying to stay up.
Many have written them off as not being contenders but they are one of my dark horses. More so now with George on board. Good luck to him.

‘Undisclosed’ fee ! I hope it wasn’t a toot on a rag mans baloon !!
-
More funds in GM’s kitty?
-
Stitched on to score against us.
-
Despite what Grant has said, he has let him go for a reason, I think he feels he can get someone either better or more suited to our style.
-
I think maybe Millers injury had a part to play in this. GM has spoke more about players being robust than anything else. We are at a point now where barring Anderson, Close and possibly Sterry who are prone to an injury, there is nobody else who you feel aren’t always available for selection.

And a sell on clause!
-
Their manager has said he’s coming back from a bad injury, on reflection I believe his injury is the reason he’s been allowed to move on !
-
It's no loss at all he was mainly a headless chicken
-
The last player they bought from us did ok, I’m sure they’re all hoping lightening strikes twice! Good luck George, hope it goes well (except when you play against us!).
-
Never really been prolific, 42 goals in 8 years is not very good is it
-
He’s looked distant from the rest of the squad in preseason, can’t have helped with him not going to Portugal
-
Anyone think we'll be looking on down line at another Watters/May scenario?
Applying this thinking all the time would result in us constantly retaining sub-par players.
Watters hasn’t done much at all. A couple of purple patches and that’s it. Wouldn’t get in our starting XI now.
George can score as many as he likes, but it doesn’t matter because he doesn’t fit in to our team right now. And we will be finishing above Cheltenham.

Good luck George, and thanks for your efforts during your time with the Rovers.
Let's hope that any goal-scoring chances he gets when playing against us fall on his left foot ....
-
More funds in GM’s kitty?
That's the crucial question. At the moment we are very much up against the limit when it comes to meeting our SCMP commitments, so we'll have to wheel and deal if we want to bring someone else in.

Good luck George, and thank you for your time with us. I hope you can follow in Alfie's footsteps! Go for it!

Does Club Doncasters turnover/profit get taken into account or is that classed as a separate entity?

Gone quiet on a replacement for him… anyone heard anything an incoming?

McCann said in his interview - waiting on another club who had injury issue so still waiting to see if it will happen.
-
Good luck to him. Certainly seemed to have the right attitude and work-rate. A bit rough around the edges but there's a player in there I'm sure. Understand the decision to let him go though.

He was anything but. He has that rare knack of being able to find a yard of space in a crowded box.
Good luck to the lad.
