Lewis Miller

[joethehibby]

Not doubting you but that would surprise me. I'm prepared to believe the rumours/anecdotes/stories that Ryan's patter behind the scenes wasn't just jovial banter that the whole dressing room enjoyed, but depending on the target of his banter could border on bullying. Yes I've heard all the "man the fuck up" arguments but that just doesn't cut it if we want the happy, together squad as stated often by Mackay for one.
For me Ryan's arrogance far outweighs his abilities and we shouldn't be considering him.
Ps... I'm sure we're not.

You may well be right and I’m sure SDG will know if he’d be beneficial or not
My point about getting NT over the line ( if possible ) though, do you think that would compensate for losing LM ?
We’ll just have to see what happens, if anything

From what I understand is that Lewis Miller is not looking for a move, would like to stay playing at Hibs and gain a place in the Aussie world cup squad.

The solutions feels like Hibs need to offer him a further years contract on top of the extension, Lewis has the season of his life, plays for Oz at a world cup and then we can help him move on next summer for a big move down south.

Good

 

[Greenpower]

Plus the bad press he brought to the club with his idiotic antics whilst out getting pissed with his pals and the fuck up I’ll never forgive him for at the Euros, lunging in, out of control, giving away a penalty and getting sent off against Germany who we were making a game of it up to that point. A bawheided loose cannon.

Who cares about Scotland, fcuk me we were never making a game of it . Take it you’ve blocked out the excellent games he had in qualifying games.

Wonder why he hasn't already been offered or signed a new contract

 

[Hammi]

We can get 400k..and lose for nothing.

From what general assumption is...he's keen on a move.

Its complete profit on our side.
Maybe as a gentleman's agreement...he's paid a little more now.
He signed a contract years ago.

But the best bet is definitely let him decide.

Good player...but we can get a ready made one for the cash...plus 20% of his fee.
He's an Aussie Rules bloke.

He's a physical asset....that's pretty good at football too.

Sorry I found this really confusing

Good question. With both him and Boyle there must have been conversations around new/amended/extended deals.

 

[Hibs Soldier]

For me it's obvious. They are here only on contractual reasons only and had ideas of elsewhere but Hibs used the option of years extension hoping to cash in.

I care. Sure, we probably would have lost the match by full time but that eejit made it inevitable.
Have you blocked out the bad press brought upon our club?

I don't care anymore but agree with you

 

[Hammi]

Because the budget wouldn't have allowed for it last season. We'd have to start paying the improved wage earlier than necessary.
We had a safety cushion, so used it.

I disagree, I think it's budget.
If we were always planning on giving Obita an extension and waited til now, there's no reason that doesn't apply to the rest too?

 

[1875]

Or not?

 

[Smurf]

Or not?

Na I'm convinced they'd have tried to extend Miller.

Was that the weegie press, who were out to get him from day one mibby ?
When he LUNGED in for scotland was it not a possible goal saving tackle, can’t really remember, , he was definitely made a scapegoat by clarke for his mistimed error , any excuse would do I suppose

You're right on the tackle.
Ball was at German feet about 6 yards out.
Had 2 options, go for the ball or stand still and watch it go in.

It wasn't even the worst tackle, carried over the ball rather than trying to do him.

 

[Smurf]

Risky if Miller decides to sit tight and we don't accept a bid this window?

BTW I'm convinced that's what Youan decided to do last summer. If so what a waste of talent and career. I find the whole Youan thing weird AF.

Thought that cheers @Hammi

Seems a bit weird Hibs would turn down £1m plus offers and not offer an extension to his contract and for that reason he must be getting offered a new contract

Bad press doesn’t bother me. We don’t employ angels who never do anything wrong

His ability to play the game is not in question IMO . Attitude ( if true ) would be an issue . Probably no happen anyway .

It might but I can't see us not having offered already.

You expecting them to sign new ones?

Na I'm convinced they'd have tried to extend Miller.

Same.

 

[Sproule Three]

Lewis won’t be playing in Dazzas testimonial v Bolton but that’s because of injury against RWE - not imminent transfer.
At this point he’s being prepped to be ready for Thursday .
He’s not pushing to move but the interest from other clubs is genuine .
That’s about as much as I’m getting - fair enough tbf .

 

[Hammi]

I don't see why we would've needed to offer him anything last season? Extension was in the bag, so no rush ad nobody was sniffing around.

If we were handing out contracts last season, we'd have seen some.
Rocky, Hoilett and Gayle were the only necessary chats I think.

I don't know if he'll sign, but I think we'll be offering him one. If not already and that's why clubs came sniffing.
Agent shopping his name to push the weekly wage higher.

Scotsman is reporting that we already have replacements in mind. That to me sounds like the deal is going to happen once our valuation is met.

I trust the club these days to be competent enough to have replacements in mind for most players.

We should have a shortlist of players for every position at all times.
Anyone can come in and make an offer on any given day, we should be prepared for all outcomes.

I think if we can get £1.5 million plus for Miller then that will be tremendous business for us. Considering how he had been written off my so many fans and pundits alike. Also considering he isn’t even a guaranteed starter. I prefer him playing at RCB and he brings a real nice balance to our play with Iredale complimenting on the left hand side.

Was thinking about our overloaded midfield but the fact we’re in europe we probably will need a level of rotation, like the other BIG clubs have to do

We'll need a little bit of something different for everyone.
Bang in a defensive mid or Triantis and I think we're more than ready to go against anyone and any midfield trio could be there.

The Aus Hibs have been trying to confirm our agreement to sponsor Lewis shirt for season .’
Our money has not been accepted for past few weeks despite numerous emails .
I told Lewis we were doing it on day I met him .
In view of recent increase in competence through all areas of the club that might be telling

Does seem a bit suspect...

Starting to think there's something to it.

There is plenty to it - trying hard to find more info but quite rightly I’m not getting any more .

 

[Green Sleeves]

BBC Gossip have boosted a story saying Blackburn dropping their interest in Miller cos he's out injured for 2 months. Is he really out for that long?

Seemed like an ankle knock that he had to go off for against Essen.
Noticed as soon as he was back in the technical area his foot was in an ice bucket.
Looked like a sprained ankle or at worse ligament problem...wouldn't have thought that would keep him out for two months.

Probably Malky playing a blinder tae put potential suitors off.
