Ashley Miller-Right Back

[chapperzUK]

I think right back is the least of our problems.

With Francis putting in a transfer request and Sankofa's contract running out, I think it is a problem.

when does Sankofa's contract run out?

 

[Smiffy]

A small piece in the Echo last night stated we sent scouts to watch Lyle Taylor on Saturday...

PS, I have passed on the details of Miller and Knott to the right people at the club. Hopefully something comes of it.

when does Sankofa's contract run out?

This summer IIRC.

 

[BrettieAngell]

This summer IIRC.

I would be surprised if we didn't offer him a contract especially if Francis is leaving.

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

With Francis putting in a transfer request and Sankofa's contract running out, I think it is a problem.

I wouldn't take that as concrete evidence just yet.

This summer IIRC.

IIRC he signed a two and a half year deal which would take him to January, odd time for it to run out but I think that's why it's stuck with me.

EDIT: It was two years. :thump: Sankofa Signs.

Who is the best person to contact about this types of things? I have a few ideas that may work or may not but I'd like to forward them onto the Club.

Good stuff. A summer trial for both would do us no harm whatsoever.

On the subject of Lyle Taylor, he had a short spell in the Conference 18 months ago did he not? At least he's had a brief experience of a decent level I suppose. Another interesting prospect, although it does make you wonder why Millwall released him just 12 months ago.

To be fair though, we released Ademeno and he has gone on to prove his worth at a lower level and rumours are he will be playing in the League above us next season. Perhaps it just never worked out for Taylor there with the likes of Neil Harris, Gary Alexander and Jason Price infront of him.

He seems to be a bit rough around the edges, but has blistering pace and set up one of the goals for Concord during their win at the weekend. Perhaps, if he is taken on by us, part of the deal will involve us arranging a friendly with them in pre-season.

Very true. I never agreed with the release of Ademeno, so no doubt there will be the odd Millwall fan who'd say that about Taylor.

I wasn't overly fused about Ademeno to be honest. He'd been on the fringes of the first team for a few years without really progessing. Didn't he make his League debut for us off the bench about a year or two before he got his first start for us.

The more I hear about Lyle Taylor, the more I like. Definately seems to have something there to work with.

Ademeno has been Crawley's top goalscorer and he has been injured for most of the season. I think he has signed a new contract, so he will be there next season.

I'd be surprised if he did get offered a contract unless he's incredibly cheap. Tilly only played him when he had no other option - not good enough for league football IMHO. Nice bloke though

Lyle Taylor is training with Bournemouth according to the Echo.

Glad to see that the club have been informed , I do however believe that billy Knott maybe looking beyond the realms of League 2 football , put it this way he never got realeased through lack of talent .

Was probably Chelsea's best prospect at one point , i'm sure there is some Youtube footage of him scoring a few screamers and one also of him winning the Chelsea annual dance off comp .

Looks as though these are the type's of players Tilly will have to be getting in on trial if only to train with us and hopefully we can unearth a gem .

Surprising to see teh West Ham payroll email leaked and on teh email i recieved it stated how much Junior Stanislas and Freddie Sears are on pw .

Just gives an indication to how much these youngsters get when signing their first pro forms and what type of wages we would have to offer in order to sign them from their respective Prem clubs .

JS = £1500 pw
FS = £ 4000 pw

Lyle Taylor is training with Bournemouth according to the Echo.

Where does it say that?

I guess they are looking to make up for the Charlie Austin incident. He was training with Bournemouth and starred in a reserve team match and they wanted to bring him in, and he was happy to sign for them but their transfer embargo meant he ended up with Swindon and the rest they say is history.

 

[Shrimper_Wez]

Not if someone was paying me £2000 a week

£2k per week? I have to say I admire your optimism!

 

[SS5]

U have to laugh at the likes of Gabbidon 50,000 and Boa Morte 70,000

 

[southend4ever]

i remember him from footy manager games. and he was a promising youngster. just needs to get his career back on track. lets take a gamble. quite frankly we need to lower the wages at the club. so see you francis in with miller.
