Jute Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Looks like they are just picking up the story that was in the Evening News yesterday. Should point out that Hivs and LSC fans hold the News in the same regard as we hold the EE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsr Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Say's the agent has confirmed Hearts have been in touch. I think he'd go in a shot to be honest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RDU_64 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Strange one. If Romanov is unwilling/unable to release funds to sign the likes of Izale Mcleod and Steven MacLean, then surely Lee Miller would command a larger wage? Saying that it is the EE who is reporting it so I will take this story with a large bucket of salt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like nonsense (I will type that a lot in January I suspect) ...and who exactly is MM going to be beating off ? Don't like the sound of that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocknroll Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Wonder if McGhee will be happy to see Miller go? Think he will find someone in the summer that can score, and if he did Miller would be no big lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlg1903 Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Am I right in thinking miller is out of contract next summer? He's a decent player but if we got offered half a mill I'd take it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Am I right in thinking miller is out of contract next summer? He's a decent player but if we got offered half a mill I'd take it There is more chance of me waking up next to Angelina Jolie tomorrow morning than anyone offering us £500k for Miller. in fact i doubt anyone would knock two zeros off the pound element of that sum and offer us it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ajja Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Yip, I fear that ship has sailed (the one with a cheque for Miller on it that is). If only Hearts will still chucking daft money about we could have punted him to them and used thr cash for McLean (as we have all now decided he is the panicea for our goal scoring problems) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reekie_Red Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Thing is, Miller knows he did a good job at Hearts. Hearts know he can do a good job. He's just not performed when with us. Any offer over $100k for the currently-under-performing Lee Miller, and I'd snap their hands off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any offer over $100k for the currently-under-performing Lee Miller, and I'd snap their hands off. Should probaby add Bristol City and UTD in the 'not performed for' column. That would render his very brief spell of success with Hearts the anomaly. Lest we forget he was in a heightened state of 'contract chasing' then also. Not sure what my point is...other than Miller being far from a sellable asset at present, even if Hearts did have two brass farthings to rub together.

Mentorred Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Do we really want to sell him to one of our main rivals??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reekie_Red Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 A striker with an average-at-best strikerate at all his previous clubs, with Falkirk and Hearts being the only exceptions. If someone wants to pay a fee for him, then I'd be willing to let him go and give someone else a permanent gig upfront Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc_don Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Miller doesn't have an average at best strike rate tho? He has a Shite at best.....rid of as soon as we can for as much as we can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 Was speaking to a bunch of jambo ST holders at a party tonight and they are resigned to having shite foreign players for the foreseeable future and dont think Romanov would sanction a move for Lee Miller as his wages would be way too much.

Madbadteacher Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I am a bit confused as to wht's best for us here. Keep Miller and have a poor striker Free up wages to get another (possibly) goalless striker See Miller be crap at Hearts but still score against us regularly (as always happens) See Miller dissappear into the mire at Hearts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Miller and have a poor striker Free up wages to get another (possibly) goalless striker See Miller be crap at Hearts but still score against us regularly (as always happens) See Miller dissappear into the mire at Hearts I'd say offload Miller and pay no attention to what he does the minute he walks through the door at Pittodrie. Is there any historical evidence for strikers scoring regularly against us who we sold ? Certainly in recent years I cannot recollect one. Johny Stewart might have scored once in the SF for QOS. Lovell choked big time against us when he was at Falkirk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slim Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 I wouldn't be surprised of Miller ended up at Ibrox if Kris Boyd leaves. Smith's been linked with him a few times this season, and Miller does a lot of dirty work in the middle of the pitch that would create a lot of goals for them. He doesn't score much for us, but if he left, I think we'd miss having someone with his composure on the ball up front. In fact, I don't think there's many strikers in the SPL better than him with their backs to the goal. That doesn't help much if he's up front on his own though.

He does absolutely nothing with it though. For the x amount of years he's been at Pittodrie he's consistently performed as if he's never left the training ground.
