Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place. According to the Daily Star and BBC's gossip column Liam Miller is to sign for Cork City. I knew he was training with Cork but with the wind-up petition and Miller's wages this has to be a non-starter. Any City fans know anything about this? Can you remember when people said he was the new Roy Keane?!:D
The same Liam Miller who was gonna sign for Dundalk at the start of the season presumably!
Maybe he could buy City, he'd be virtually guaranteed a start in every single game then..........unlike in recent years!!!Quote:

Only in the LOI would you see a club facing being wound up and linked to signing the likes of Liam Miller on the same day!
He is definitely going to sign. Any newspapers that don't run with that as fact as fools.
We wont be wound up until we find out exactly what the revenue are at? And if its just a case of paying whats owed then that could happen as well.Quote:

In fairness Healy had nothing but bad luck. I can remember him at Sunderland and everyone saying we got a bargain. But then that night in Coventry changed everything for the lad. Miller just got found out!!Quote:

3 in the middle at City these days!
yeah but o donnell is on the way back too isnt he meaning you would have to leave one of the 3 out for a rather lightweight miller!Quote:

I wouldn't even want him in the squad. We have Gamble, Healy and Stephen O'Donnell who I'd rate among the best midfielders in the league [putting their similarity to each other to one side]. Shane Duggan looks an excellent young prospect for us as well.Quote:

If we have a few shekels to rub together, they'd be best put towards a player who would contribute a regular stream of goals.
i think Liam Kearney might be a very good player in this formation - he did well last year off the front two - id never start him ahead of Billy but in front of Joey and Colin hed have freedom to create a bit more - dont know if Doolin would go for it though

Wages....Quote:

He will not sign for Cork City, he's too good for Cork City.

There is no point even discussing it.Quote:

Too good for Cork City?.....I pick Healy over him any day. And please don't be using comparisons that involve both Liam Miller and Lionel Messi. Thanks ;)Quote:

Took Healy a while to deliver, but he is really doing it now. Brilliant against Derry the other night IMO.Quote:

The same cannot be said about Miller.
As for the Messi part - I really hope you didn't (mis)interpret my post in that manner. :p
Brilliant.Quote:

Nobody said he was at all likely to sign, i just asked would cork fans actually want him if as could well happen he is short of attractive offers across the water and would prefer to move to his hometown club ala healy rather than play for a lower league team. not beyond the realms of imagination considering he struggles to hold down a 1st team spot no matter where he goes and chose cork to go to train and keep up his fitness. i was just trying to make the point that if the situation did arise cork already have good players in that position and he would hardly be worth the money.
It is beyond the realms of imagination, as you say.Quote:

He'll find a club somewhere. He was on about 10k at QPR, City owe huge amounts of money to the revenue, and even if they didn't - they could still only afford to pay Miller a max of 1k per week.
And as already said, the only reason Healy is here is because he suffered so badly from injuries, he didn't even have offers for lower league teams, as you've put it. He was let go by Livingstone ffs
Planet Earth is calling!

By the way im sure Colin Healy was on close to or more than 10grand a week at one stage in his career.
We all know cork cant afford him. The point of the discussion was if it ever did become a possibility would cork fans actually want him to sign.
Don't get so wound up kid.Quote:

Oh I didn't mis-interpret anything in the regard. :D I just think the attitude of "he's too god for LOI" has to change, or else we're going nowhere.Quote:
