I would be stunned if anyone stumps up money for him giving that he would be free in the summer and he can talk to people from Boxing day ( or somewhere round there ).
Seems clear he wont re-sign for us I think, and if Rangers are going to offer any sortof money at all to get him in January, then it willhave to be seriously considered.

Thing is Mcleish isn't really going to be that bothered about Rangers long term finances when he may not even be there in May. If he thinks Miller will keep him his job he will want him in ASAP.

all his goals we didn't go up, Hoddles first analysis when joining the

season, if he had scored half the chances he has missed there would be
3 teams at the top.

Nice scoop, Yammer! It makes sense with all the McLeod chat at the moment as well...
If we can get some money for him, pity we can't sell him now while he's still injured/coming back from injury and taking his usual two months to round into form.
If we replace him adequately, then so long Kenny, and thanks for all the goals.

To be honest it does sound like a deal has been struck (Although they
do have 3/4 targets and they have said that they want one striker) I
hope we get £500k+, Otherwise turning down the money from
Sunderland will look like very bad business.

We won't attract a better striker than Kenny while in this league. He played a significant part in gettin us promoted and has been superb this season.
The people who are saying good riddance are probably the same people who are spunking in their briefs over the possible signing of McLeod, who they've most likely never seen play.

Miller's miss against Palace was worse than that of Seol against Ipswich. Do not rate him so much, he does not seem to love Wolves so much, in fact when he plays for Scotland he does much better against world known centre halves, like Nesta of Italy, why can't he do better against centre halves in the Championship???? that is a something I cannot understand.
Sheriff Woody
12-12-2005, 07:11
Dominic Foley in disguise. Promises so much, delivers when he can be bothered and when he's not waving his arms about. I don't doubt that he's a decent player, he makes things very difficult with his movement but at times his finishing is woeful. He seems to be a confidence player, even when he scored 20 odd in the promotion season he took a while to reallyget going.
I hope he enjoys himself back at Rangers, if he does go, I hope he proves me wrong but I can't help thinking he'll be back in the championship with a mediocre team in a couple of years time. If he doesgo in january lets hope we've already got his replacement in.

I will be sorry to see him go, especially as he seems to be the only striker capable of playing this stupid wide striker role, with movement and reasonable pace. His finishing is erratic, but i think he has generally shown the kind of form and general all round play that made us spunk 3 million on him when we had him on loan. I think him and Cort are our best to strikers, and i cannot see how the signing of a Derby reject in the event of him leaving is going to improve us. Especially when MK Dons fans have commented how he misses from 2 yards in that crap division.

This news confirms what a fiasco of stupidity and greed took place
preseason when Moxey had the chance to sell a wantaway striker, at a
decent price for someone with only a year left on his contract.
So instead of having a fit, new striker fully commited to the club, we have
had to endure Miller's usual inconsistency and amazing catalogue of easy
misses, the principal reason why the team is not higher in the table. I
wonder if any of his defenders believe that his four league goals this
season have really been worth one of the worst gambles I have ever seen
a football club undertake.
Overall Miller has been a sad disappointment given how much money was
spent on him. At times, he looks like a top class player with great
movement, decent control and a cool eye in front of goal. But all too
often, his decision making is atrocious and selfish, his finishing woeful,
and his attitude petulant, even adolescent.
A shame but definitely time to move on.

If Miller was going to sign, surely he would have already?
<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Maybe he was seeing if we would be top two by the half-way point? Quite ironic some of his misses have directly contributed to the fact we are below some absolutely rancid teams at this point in time.
Re keeping Miller – I would like to see him stay, as he offers us something none of our other strikers do, and he is undoubtedly good enough at this level. He's not Premiership class though and I imagine he would struggle ( again ) if he was in a lower echelon Premiership team ( which is the best he can hope for ). He probably knows that as well as us, so scoring boatloads against Gretna Grannies Third XI four times a season must be quite appealing to him. Fair enough.

He's not Premiership class though and I imagine he would struggle ( again ) if he was in a lower echelon Premiership team ( which is the best he can hope for ). He probably knows that as well as us, so scoring boatloads against Gretna Grannies Third XI four times a season must be quite appealing to him. Fair enough.

Personally, I think it's a massive blow. Yes - Saturday's miss was a shocker but his movement was excellent for most of the game. For one of the only occasions in our run of draws, we were genuinely unlucky against a side that will likely be playoff bound - albeit with a pee poor defence. Hoddle's excuses are mostly nothing more than exactly that. But on Sat we were genuinely the better side that deserved the 3-points. Incidentally, at the CP home game, I thought we were a little lucky to come away with the 3-points.
It'll be interesting to see what Miller ends up going for. Moxey turned down a rumoured £1.5m from Sunderland in August (if anyone can confirm that would be great). Wefailed to sign him on a longer-term contract thus this £1.5m effectively becomeszero on June 30th. So, on this basis, either Moxey thinks/thought he'd re-sign for us or Wolves are prepared tolose 150K per month on him, without salary and draw bonuses being taken into consideration. Or Hoddle/Jez were so confident of getting back into the prem and persuading him to re-sign (as a winger again!) that they took a massive gamble with a star player as well as Wolves finances - something that looks like failing. Maybe the board treated this as one of the million pound signings that we made, in effect?
Anyway, wouldn't want to level any criticism at Moxey - he did a great job on Okoronkwo, I mean Silas, I mean Luzhny, I mean Craddock, I mean Iverssen, I mean Camara....that's the one!

Maybe the board are banking on the fact that, if we failed to go up, the chances are that miller wont have scored many, so we could re-sign him?

Yes - Saturday's miss was a shocker
How?
If he'd kept it lower it would have been straight at the keeper, there was nowhere to put the shot unless it went in off the keeper.

If you could change the corporate policy at the country's second largest bank, I'd be happy to look at it.

Sell for £500k, then use it to acquire the loan services of Earnshaw till the Summer when we can negotiate a permanent move depending on what division we are in.

As I said at the start of the season, if Miller wasn't prepared to sign a contract he should have been sold at that time. We can ill afford to let saleable assets leave for nothing. I know he has missed a few weeks with injury but he hasn't done enough this season to warrant losing £1.5 million. If he is still here, out of contract,into the New Year he will become virtually unplayable. Would you bust a gut for an Employer you know you will be leaving shortly ?

If he is certain to go, to let's say Rangers, what is his incentive ?
It won't be nonsense:
when he has a slight knock and decides topark his ass.
when he makes mistakes in a game and the crowd start getting onto him, knowing he's going.
when he appears to shirk challenges (hardly the most physical of players anyway)
I believehe will have to sign a new contract or go in January.

Well I for one hope he stays because without KM our forward choices look very bleak.
Ndah is injured, again, Clarke is not setting the world on fire, Ganea is just not cutting it at present and Cort is, well Cort so never quite know what to expect.

Miller has turned down the offer of a new contract. Just had a Wolves text.
Goldwolf

Text just in that he's turned down a new contract offer. So he'll defintely be leaving one way or the other. Depends on who we sign in January on whether we let him go thenor not I guess.

The bottom line is that the Miller that showed up on loan was worth £3.5 million in todays money and todays transfer market. The Miller of today isn't worth a third of that. Big, big, bigdisappointment who has never even got close to the potential he showed in the early days.

If he hasn't got a definite move lined up, and is playing to attract the attention of other clubs, then yes. If the Rangers story is true it sounds like he might not have to .

I heard from a drinking buddy (Leeds supporter)months ago that Miller was going.He (the drinking buddy) bumped into Carl Cort and was teasing him thatMiller would betop scorer at Wolves this season. Cort replied that he would be top scorer because Millerwas definately going to Rangers in the Jan window.
Didn't mention it at the time because although it had a ring of truth, it could have been/could still bea wind up.

If he stays then yes, because I believe he is a professional player. I think that if we sign a new striker though, he will likely be off in January. If not, I'd definitely play him for the rest of the campaign though. 100%

Reading the piece on the official site it implies that he's keeping his options open rather than looking for a definite move in January. Of course, it might all be $$$$$$$$$$ and it's a done deal. But no-one is admitting it if it is.
