If he’s scores 3 or 4 more in October, his agent will be strongly advising him to keep his options open and not sign anything with us. He’ll definitely be attracting interest from clubs higher up than us.

The thing I like about him most is that he’s a striker who actually seems to like playing in front of the goal. He runs the channels well don’t get me wrong, but it’s nice to actually have some one who is in the box to receive crosses, as well as making runs towards the goal rather than away from it!

How ? We don’t even seem to be able to pay the wages of a free agent . It wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if Barnsley are paying half of Miller’s wages we probably wouldn’t or couldn’t afford to pay the other half and if Barnsley wanted any kind of fee even an undisclosed amount which usually covers what what a team paid out for the player on wages over a period of time we can obviously forget that one . Bonsors not in charge anymore remember he probably would find the money Pomlett ain’t got 2 pennies to rub together it seems.
Guess that’s the real challenge, he’s probably on 3k a week at Barnsley.
Guessing he’s not actively looking for a pay cut.
I reckon he’s on between 2.5 to 3k a week. Seriously, I reckon we’re paying all of it.
Pissed off at our squad size but I don’t think we’re as tinpot as some (including me) make out.
Long way for him to go until he can be compared to gorgeous Jorge. Plus needs to sign permanently

On Footballleaguefc website they reckon that he is on £2k a week at Barnsley? Not sure how accurate this is but would be surprised if he is on £3k a week? Surely this is within our levels of ambition? If not we are all in trouble!!!

Don’t worry too much those figs are complete BS.
It’s guess work at the end of the day, but also irrelevant. His agent won’t care what he’s being paid right now, he will care what he can possibly be paid next year. If he comes here and does well at his age, that is more than 2 grand a week.
At the end of the day it’s obvious the only way we’d sign him permanently is if he scores the goals that get us into the top 7 and we go up then we could afford him and he’d probably want to stay . If he scores goals we finish 12-24th 1 he won’t want to stay and 2 we couldn’t afford him
Considering he’s only a youngster he’s already been out on loan at Wrexham, Bury, Bradford and Scunthorpe, as well as signing for Boro and Barnsley.
Hopefully he’s had enough of this nomadic lifestyle and the lure of staying where he is settled and wanted might outweigh the temptation to uproot elsewhere for a few extra hundred quid a week.
We can hope can’t we?

Otis, have you ever been to Bury, Scunny, Bradford, Barnsley, or Middlesbrough?
Blakenhall is like Mayfair compared to these salubrious hotspots.

I don’t for a moment think that we’re out of money or that Barnsley are paying half of Miller’s wages. Just because we haven’t brought in any players recently doesn’t mean that our budget is spent.
If the club wanted a player badly enough the board would come up with the money somehow as long as the fee wasn’t exorbitant.

That is why we should be ready with a shotgun (metaphorically speaking) 
Exorbitant would mean about £2000 a week I’ve heard enough from the manager and a lack of action in the transfer Market to suggest we are more or less skint if Taylor says he’s happy with what he’s got fair enough but I seriously doubt that’s the case .
Wouldn’t put it past Darrell Clarke to take him at Vale as another nice kick in the testicles for us all to add to his shambolic tenure,Stuart Sinclair and such like.
