George Miller

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.

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.

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 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?

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
