I think that that is one of the major drawbacks of playing the SPL, you play each team a minimum of 3 times. It can only be so much fun which is why I can understand why players leave to play elsewhere. Of course they follow the money and it does seem that Miller may have thought about the long term future for a change. He couldn't keep going from one club to the next, wouldn't have been fair on his family. As Ajja said, most are not the smartest of people and will always be attracted by the extra decimal places and I suppose ambition generally doesn't come into it. We are not stable enough to be challenging for honours yet. But I think by signing some of our bigger players we're a step closer.

How was Sone Aluko's goal against Bayern not there?!? That kid must have been dead chuffed to meet the both of them.

Completely agree. I doubt they will be on very much more and won't command that big a fee. We just need someone that is a proven goalscorer (apart from Lovell). I'd imagine that league two is quite physical so its not like they should get bullied off the ball easily.

Aye plays for Peterborough. Was league 2 top scorer with 29 followed by Mcgleish

Ah yes, and after quickly looking, he's been shite this season. Scott Mcgleish on the other hand, 26 goals this season http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=5108

Not got an opinion on him really, but it doesn't sound too promising when he has an injury. Its not like our "medical" staff are looking for work

Stockport have had fairly decent strikers for the past two seasons. I think we should put in a cheeky wee bid for him. Is Jermain Easter still there?

I know we've probably got a replacement for this position, but Yuri Cornelisse who plays for ADO is some player. Some of his passing is awesome. Though it said he's an attacker, seemed to play more of a play maker role. www.rtl.nl/(vm=/sport/rtlvoetbal/video/jupiler_league/)/system/video/html/components/sport/rtlvoetbal/miMedia/2008/week19/do_ado_-_vvv_internetsamenvatting.wmv_plain.xml EDIT: for some reason the link won't work, but if you copy and paste it all it does

Is that not because "soccer" Football is a upper/middle class sport over there? Having been to Baseball in the states, they certainly knew how to rip the piss outta the opposition fans and players! I assumed this was more because it was more of a "peoples" sport. I can't remember if I stood for the anthem tho

Because we know more than likely he won't be. As GS said, how many times has this happened? I mean, its the last game of the season, why not just let him rest for a bit longer and get a good pre season under his belt. We need him big time next season.

I don't know why I'm surprised really We always knew he would do this. Why not follow logic though I mean, what a game to come back into!

Christ why won't he just let him recover fully and get a good pre season under him? Surely its the logical thing to do?

Ha ha I hope he does go to Dundee. My Dundee supporting mate gave me so much abuse because we had him in our squad.

You could always use your trademark "neck huggïng/headlock" technique to embrace them

I think Duff will be fine for a squad player. The occassions I've seen him play he's been one of the better players on the park (not hard granted but still). I would definitely like to see Maybury signed up permantely.

Agreed, that Bertrand guy sounds utter mince. He's played near enough zero games for years!

I would say the season for me has been one of enormous highs and drastic lows. I'm sure this has been said but I couldn't be bothered trawling through it all. Its odd, because there has been no middle ground with us this season where our luck got us through. Something which occured a lot in the previous seasons.

Finally some news. As has been said, he's played well this season and I'm glad to see that he's actually decided to stay (through his own choice or not). Hopefully we'll bring someone in who thinks on the same wavelength as him and we should be one step closer to getting a stronger team for next season.

Not if you do it before September

Just curious and pardon my ignorance, but who is a better manager full stop? How Anyone can claim that Paisley was a better manager is a bit of a mystery. Fergie has done MUCH more than him.

Haha don't tempt fate there! But I completely agree. I wanted Miller to stay but clearly he has no desire to do so. This season he has been good, and i wouldn't say any less, but the previous season's he's been absolutely dire. As you said, never wanted to come here in the first place so he can move on anytime now. Absolutely bored to death of this situation.

He never does. But to be fair, sometimes from a manager you do want him not to dwell on the shiteness and focus on the positives. Having not been at the game, I can't comment but it certainly didn't sound like it was the best. Although the commentators thought it was highly entertaining.

Its getting beyond a joke now.

You've got to be joking. How can he not have told the club what his decision is? Definitely offski.
