George Miller

[sedwardsdrfc]

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

[StocksArmy]

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.

[Drover]

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"

[colincramb]

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

[Filo]

Another one spends a year injured, getting paid, gets fit and wants out

[ncRover]

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.

[mushRTID]

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.

[DearneValleyRover]

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.

[Campsall rover]

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.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

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)

Harrogate crossed my mind too, as did Swindon.

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.

[mpc123]

Just to add a fit Biamou for me too

[roversdude]

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

[graingrover]

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?

Or Wilks

[Lesonthewest]

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.

[Barmby Rover]

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.

[The Dav]

What sort of fee will command for him ? Or will it be an ‘undisclosed’ ?

He’d be the perfect foil for Cole Stockton at Salford

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

[StocksArmy]

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.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

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.

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
