Wasted £2m on 10 goals and few assists?

Thu Jul 19, 2012 10:57 am

That's what Kenny cost.

And he leaves for free with 12 months remaining on his contract?

Why I hear you ask?


Simply because it would cost us a further £1.2m in wages to keep him,
he had no resale value apparently so we cut the cord.

And to be honest , who are we to moan about it when we are currently expecting CB39 to do the same with Liverpool .


It's not good, it's not right but it's the way things are...

It's great when people criticise Miller, it's a nice insight to show they know nothing about football and you can ignore their opinion completely.

Unbelievable, after the season we just had, when half of us thought we may be in a relegation fight.

when he stopped scoring we plummeted down the league, didn't see anyone else step up.

Great stop gap though.

I'm not criticising Kenny, I have been one of his biggest supporters this year, u worked with his old man at First bus and I wish him all the best in Canada.


The original post was Just stating actual fact.

You are totally right and that's the way it is with players since the Bosman ruling.

May be we made our mistake when we signed Miller in the first place. It hadn't worked out for him in Turkey but that wasn't our fault and it wasn't up to us to give them back the money they had spent getting him from Rangers.

We should have told Bursaspor we would take his contract over but would-not pay a transfer fee.

What I said was it wasn't integral and many teams past and present have gone about their game without it.

You might want to look at how gutted I was that Jay left and how I defend Gestede before outright lying. :roll:

Really? So you have seen him play more than I have then have you? Considering I used to live in Scotland and I saw him play a lot of games for both Celtic and Rangers, as well as Scotland, my opinion on him doesn't matter just because it's different to yours?! Nice attatude! Just because someone disagrees with your opinion doesn't mean they don't know anything about football.

He gets a job done, but is over rated, has got one hell of a bad attatude about himself and I'm glad he's gone so we can get a real goal scorer in.

Wouldnt be the 1st time we signed a player or let them go for nothing only to lose millions along the way thats how we work these days under are pipe dream owner, what makes it worse people are saying we are due to sign some players who we let them run there contracts out with us but only this time pay for them when we let them go for nothing last season.
How daft of a club does that make us. We was told chops, jay, burke where moved on because of wages ect yet we payed 800k for a guy on more money than all of them for one season, now hes gone for nothing.

Any logic in it :shock:

West Ham 0 : Cardiff City 1 - great game

Worth 2m for that alone, even Gestede looked unstoppable

So getting rid of Miller is great but keeping Earnie is better. Deluded be f**ked.
