Cork City move for Liam Miller.

**El-Pietro** · 16/05/2009, 9:40 PM

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

The only reason he's been linked is because he'd be on a free transfer.

well cork wud hardly be stumping up a transfer fee! his wages would have to at least match gambles though would be the lack of value for money or rather unnecessary considering the players already there...all that assuming of course that he himself has any interest in playing in ireland

Wages....

Hilarious thread.

What are ye people on? Those of ye discussing formations including Miller.

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

There is no point even discussing it.

I'd love Lionel Messi to be on my time but it aint going to happen...!

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

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

Thing is, he probably is "too good" for Cork City, and the LOI for that matter. The only reason he is here is because he has been very unlucky with injuries.

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.

i dont understand why you are posting in this thread if you find it so pointless. you said millers too good for cork and wouldnt consider signing for them, its pie in the sky stuff.

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.

He trained with City because he was home and is good buddys with sub 'keeper Mark McNulty.

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!

listen if you keep missing the point of the discussion then dont bother, i never said he was likely to sign i said it possibly isnt beyond the realms of imagination that he would consider it if he didnt have any great offers. 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.

Oh I didn't mis-interpret anything in the regard.

I just think the attitude of "he's too god for LOI" has to change, or else we're going nowhere.
