Kelly signs for Millers

[gru]

If you had choice. Know you shouldn't judge off u tube but me would be Kelly. Stockton looks abit basic to me a typical lower EFL striker.

[Lolmorgan]

It would depend on how much we want to pay but yes that Kelly seems to have nice movement.

[Scum-Triumphant]

Warne has said Kelly is going elsewhere.

[Back of the net]

Kayodi

[Lolmorgan]

Warne has said Kelly is going elsewhere.

Down Paradise Row XD

[Lolmorgan]

Kayodi

He his not the answer & if we go up he wouldn’t get a kick in the Championship.Don’t rush the lad one for the future.

[gru]

If it was one of our players I'd have kept Greaves got size don't see gamble with him compared to keeping Ladapo & Grigg going nowhere with those two!

[Scum-Triumphant]

If it was one of our players I'd have kept Greaves got size don't see gamble with him compared to keeping Ladapo & Grigg going nowhere with those two!

Yeah, you’ve said.

[vespabri]

Kelly off to Plymouth apparently

[Brin]

If you had choice. Know you shouldn't judge off u tube but me would be Kelly. Stockton looks abit basic to me a typical lower EFL striker.

State of our line up I would take both!

[Brin]

Kayodi

No where near ready. Simply not strong enough although he does show some potential. One for the future definitely.

[millertop]

Personally none

[CHAPELMILLER]

Kelly off to Plymouth apparently

If thats the case then it's yet another team up near the top bringing in a new forward.
This could come back to bite us on the arris.
When Warne says he's happy with the 4 he's got he's being very nieve. Smith needs help up top. Freddie after yesterday's performance will find himself still with us beyond this window. He wasn't running the channels and Wood put him to shame running full length of the pitch to close them down while he pranced around in midfield. The chance he blazed over from 8 yards out should have been buried, he didn't even seem bothered that he'd missed it. The crowd gave him warm applause when he was taken off yet at the end he chose not to acknowledge the crowd with his team mates. Warne can say what he wants about Freddies attitude but his body language told a different story he does not want to be here or part of this team anymore.
Grigg put himself about when he finally came on but he wasn't on long enough to really make an impact.
Could this be yet another January window that on the last day we are left floundering to find replacements for players who move on.
In short, banish Ladapo from the squad along with Tilt and bring in suitable replacements now who want to be here and put in the required effort.

[welovebooth]

Stockton as he can score in league 1.

Which will be needed the season after the championship

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

It might be a temporary blip but our squad looks a bit jaded of late

Suggesting a bit of new blood might be needed

[jakethemiller]

I'd have both, Stockton proven league one scorer and Kelly surprise package, Freddie goes then we have 5 Strikers, so what.

[gru]

As anyone here seen Kelly? K double E L Y! sure that's a song or something. I'd take a risk on him 25 good age bout 6ft 1 solid build.

[DK_NY]

Bit harsh on Freddie
When he was subbed he was clapping the crowd as he walked off in mutual admiration

Let's face it, there ain't many people left when the players do their lap of honour at the end

I don't see that much has changed with him to be fair. Same performances as before and decent application.
Not great, but not poor

[avondalemiller]

If they was anyone watching Freddie yesterday they would have walked out before half time, the only thing on his notepad would have been," don't bother and save your money"......................

[Derbymiller]

I agree ladapo wasn't at the races yesterday and his mind has already left, if kelly has gone to Plymouth and we had a chance and let him go then more fool us. warne has said he has 4 strikers, where? because they are not in the Rotherham squad, if he is genuinelly happy with those 4 for the rest of the season, then god help us.

[Timbertop]

Neither of them look good enough (from you tube highlights) or suitable for our style. Surely Scott has had plenty of time (2 years ?) to find the striker we are desperate for but will the chairman sanction the sort of spending that will be needed ? Failure to recruit will be the difference between going up and languishing in Lge 1.

[caytonmiller]

Kelly or Stockton. Neither. It will be a loan striker from higher up the league's

[flourbasher]

Ikpeasu from Boro would be good
Wilder loves us

[pip_y]

Kelly or Stockton. Neither. It will be a loan striker from higher up the league's

Not done us much good in the past I.e Lawrence, Eaves, Brown. Dicko was the exception.

[millers88]

We don't need a striker to get us out of league 1 we have them already we need a striker however to do well in championship as well which I don't think the 2 strikers are that level potentially.

[PokerMillersSwinton]

kelly has followed @ROTHERHAMUNITED on Twitter. Might be nothing but then again .

[Stovicmiller]

We don't need a striker to get us out of league 1 we have them already we need a striker however to do well in championship as well which I don't think the 2 strikers are that level potentially. smith Carnt donut on his own, JJ not ready to play regular, ladapo probably moving on and then there’s Griggs who the manager doesn’t fancy looking at the game time he gets . I do like your optimism tho if you think we have the forwards to get us out of this league.

[fc_miller]

We bring someone in and JJ goes out on loan, which means we still have 4 strikers yet at least JJ is hopefully getting some game time than just sat on the bench.

[millers88]

smith Carnt donut on his own, JJ not ready to play regular, ladapo probably moving on and then there’s Griggs who the manager doesn’t fancy looking at the game time he gets . I do like your optimism tho if you think we have the forwards to get us out of this league.

Smith and Grigg are good enough with JJ pushing them plus we got goals from midfield as well but I don't see the point in paying money for a striker that's never played in the division above because hopefully we only gonna be in this league for half a season. If Freddie goes I would rather loan a striker in or buy a young striker that has potential to be championship quality.

[gru]

kelly has followed @ROTHERHAMUNITED on Twitter. Might be nothing but then again .


Gives me some hope! Don't know about anyone else on here.

[uttis]

Paul Davis just quoted Kelly going to Plymouth

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

kelly has followed @ROTHERHAMUNITED on Twitter. Might be nothing but then again .

Plymouth is the best choice for him.

When he checks up on us he will see Kayode who hardly ever plays, and ditto Grigg a loan player who we pay part of his wages and equally sirs on the bench.

[Brin]

Plymouth is the best choice for him.

Because they’re not good enough to start?

[gru]

No chance of going up with forwards we^ve got apart from Smith!

[PerigordMiller]

No chance of going up with forwards we^ve got apart from Smith!

No chance of being second best team on ppg for the first half of the season?

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Because they’re not good enough to start?

Whatever the criteria, any forward coming here would look at the manager's preferences and decide on whether it not it's a good career move

Ditto Plymouth as a choice

[Geetarman]

No chance of going up with forwards we^ve got apart from Smith!
Really? How did you arrive at that decision Pep?

[flourbasher]

If I were Kelly I’d be choosing Devon/Cornwall to Bradford or Wickersley

[fc_miller]

If I were Kelly I’d be choosing Devon/Cornwall to Bradford or Wickersley

He's 25 not 65, more likely to want live in Leeds or Manchester

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

Georgie Kelly agrees to sign for the Millers, medical Friday.

[flourbasher]

Yes I've heard that too
Nearly a done deal

Might be Cosgove too

One perm, one loan said the gaffer

[MILLERSTALE]

According to Irish paper ?

[MILLERSTALE]

Anybody here seen Kelly ?

[mellowmiller]

Just seen this in an Irish newspaper. Good news methinks.

[MillerBill]

Happy with that,sooner have him than Stockton.

Great work from the club

Free agent Lol Morgan, he refused a new contract with Irish club Bohemians.

[Lolmorgan]

What happened to Plymouth.

[welovebooth]

I would like to think Paul Warne read my post about it been a mistake about not signing a striker .

Which made him change his mind about kelly.

This mean ladepo has gone or Paul Warne had enough iff his attitude

A striker match fit and In form scoring the goals.

We haven't had that kinda signing in years

[Lolmorgan]

Free agent Lol Morgan, he refused a new contract with Irish club Bohemians.

Have you had a phone call from RDGH.

[welovebooth]

What happened to Plymouth.

Us or Plymouth.

We are a safer bet for promotion.

Would like to think we can afford more wages

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

What happened to Plymouth.

Kelly didn't like the seaside O:)

[CAMiller]

What happened to Plymouth.

Freddie's gone there instead?

[welovebooth]

Apparently Kelly said he would only come if one goes .

Unless he has had a change iff heart and with the way Warne talks one in one out.

Ladrpo or kayode on loan Is going

[MILLERSTALE]

They're about 50p a day aren't they ;D

I think he was worth a “ Punt “ ?

[Timbertop]

Looks a useful signing and clever too,been doing a masters degree. Question is how fit will he be ? The Irish season finished in November ,i think.

[gru]

Happy when his signing will be announced official. Can't have 5 strikers hoping someones in for Ladapo.

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

To be honest I’ve no idea if this lad is any good. I assume that the back room staff have done their homework on him and he offers some form of improvement

Kayode must be feeling a bit knocked back and also Ladapo and Grigg if they are staying with us.

I hope it’s not a signing for signings sake and we’ve only got a new benchwarmer.

[Brin]

Talk about cutting it fine……

[rileyev.the.third]

Hope he does great for us. Reckon a bid may well have been accepted for Smith or Ladapo though. If so hope it’s the latter.

[Brin]

Cheeky two hat I raised this weeks ago…. Talk about stealing my thunder 😉

[Brin]

Cheeky two hat I raised this weeks ago…. Talk about stealing my thunder 😉

As for the latter, JJ should go out on loan to make him a better player. There’s no way he’s now going to get in front of smith, Kelly or Freddie

[Geetarman]

Do you think that there could be a slight chance that Paul Warne would know more about him than you do. Surely not

[clarkey1974]

Hearing Doncaster have enquired about kayode after moving bogle out….not sure about that but if he did go out on loan it’s got be at least league one level this time round..

[rileyev.the.third]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcrHkyXBGiM

Not sure about the standard of goalkeepers lol

[PerigordMiller]

Just going on his record last season, though never seen anything of him, I think I'm happy with that.

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Not sure about the standard of goalkeepers lol

Or the standard of linesmen looking at some of those goals, VAR would melt

In the next team photo don’t put Kelly next to Warne it will look like Mae West has signed for us.

[Brin]

Where does Cosgrove play? I’m calling it now…. Is it time Oggy was benched? Fast running no end product

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Where does Cosgrove play? I’m calling it now…. Is it time Oggy was benched? Fast running no end product

The raw talent is there Brin

[PerigordMiller]

We don't have anyone else who will draw 2 or 3 defenders as we attack. May not always have the final ball, but takes the shape of the defence away.

[clarkey1974]

I think it’s a rouse and it’s really Conor Sammon signing again..

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

We don't have anyone else who will draw 2 or 3 defenders as we attack. May not always have the final ball, but takes the shape of the defence away.

That’s always been my view with Ogbene, if he’s dragging over 2 or 3 players to the right side then surely we should develop a system where the ball is moved quickly across to the left side instead of letting him put in a cross that is hit and hope?

[PerigordMiller]

Exactly

[clarkey1974]

We don't have anyone else who will draw 2 or 3 defenders as we attack. May not always have the final ball, but takes the shape of the defence away.

Just the same and how Jon Taylor was used to effect….defenders will always tell you the thing they don’t like to face is pace..

[Brin]

Thing is we don’t….. no matter how many players he drags over.

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

Thing is we don’t….. no matter how many players he drags over.

Like I said, the raw talent is there

[Brin]

Sounds like there’s a lot of movement going on at ours if Kaydon Jackson is being sought, also watch out for a possible A.rsenal right winger coming in….need I say more

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

With an international right winger going out?

[Godsend.F.C.]

Where does Cosgrove play? I’m calling it now…. Is it time Oggy was benched? Fast running no end product

Sam Cosgrove is a striker. To sign him and Georgie Kelly would mean offloading two strikers either permanently or on loan. If our leader is telling the truth as it stands an attacking midfielder to come in on loan before 11pm Monday. Could be smoke & mirrors. Have patience, definitely someone else going out if they can get it over the line.
Leicester City have a left sided attacking midfielder, available if no one has signed him, Lesbela, not sure of name spelling is correct. Been on loan at Shrewsbury and didn't work out for the young lad.

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

It means there's hope of players moving out and some coming in, all depends who's leaving. Would you prefer we didn't sign anyone at all.
Money talks if RUFC get the right offer that TS is willing to accept.

[Brin]

With an international right winger going out?

Grist I wouldn’t say that but he may well be a bench warmer if this other lad comes in.

I personally wish someone in training would/could teach Oggy how to cross a ball simple as that

Sadler, JJ and Bola to go out on loan. that would be my logical thinking or Sads to Pompey permanent

Keep saying same Brin, needs Ferguson to show Ogbene how & where to deliver a crossed ball.
If fans can see this, why can't the coaching staff see it.

Easy ELK, don’t start attacking Warnes crew… there’s dark forces out there.

[CAMiller]

Sadler, JJ and Bola to go out on loan. that would be my logical thinking or Sads to Pompey permanent

Georgie boy coming back the other way?

[Godsend.F.C.]

Yes, I would more or less agree with that logic. The point I was trying to make is every player is available at the right price.
The sooner 11pm Monday comes the better for PW. Hopefully MS will still be here plus the lad Kelly when match fit and Grigg.
Should be an interesting few days with some teams panic buying.

[Godsend.F.C.]

Keep saying same Brin, needs Ferguson to show Ogbene how & where to deliver a crossed ball.

If Cheio Ogbene could cross a ball like Shane Ferguson he wouldn't be playing for us. He would be a mid table Championship player.

[MILLERSTALE]

Shows how long ago you bought a newspaper ?

[MILLERSTALE]

Of course the coaching staff can see it ELK give them some credit ! You just can’t suddenly become something your not ? There is one thing crossing in training and another crossing when the pressures on ! That mantra applies to shooting as well ! and every other aspect of the game and life !!

[MILLERSTALE]

Georgie boy coming back the other way?

Here comes Georgie boy, walking down the street !!!!!!!!!!! Herman’s Hermits ?

[jakethemiller]

Welcome Georgi, I hope your stay with us is happy and filled with lots of goals. We needed a striker and I think we've got one.

[The Hillsborough Miller]

We need to keep sadlier

[flourbasher]

One way to solve Oggy,s crossing problems is to play him down the middle so he doesn't need that skill
Maybe the Irish coaches have solved the conundrum

If PW is signing more strikers I doubt this will happen though

[mellowmiller]

Of course the coaching staff can see it ELK give them some credit ! You just can’t suddenly become something your not ? There is one thing crossing in training and another crossing when the pressures on ! That mantra applies to shooting as well ! and every other aspect of the game and life !!

"Suddenly"? How long has Chieo been playing out wide? Surely he should be capable of crossing a ball by now, it's a fundamental requirement for someone playing in that position.
Perhaps the coaching staff should show him a few videos of Tony Towner.

[flourbasher]

PW seems to have got a fetish for all things Irish ��

Sads
Oggy
JJ
Griggo
Conor salmons twin brother
Ferguson

That's half a team

[gm_gm]

To be honest I’ve no idea if this lad is any good. I assume that the back room staff have done their homework on him and he offers some form of improvement

Listened to an interview with Kayode and the lads has his head screwed on, he understands that the position and didnt expect so many starts this year.

To be honest Ladapo would have no right to feel knocked back. He wants out and could be gone tomorrow for all we know. Grigg could be recalled, Smith could go if the right money is offered so we need to look after ourselves and have options.

[clarkey1974]

When he was appointed HOTI Scotty did say we would tap into the overseas market…

[gru]

Cosgrove were is he going to play? Smith one of 1st names on team sheet never gets injured. Kelly isn't coming here to sit on the bench. We need cover for Chioe.

No another player. This was in the bag but there's 2 loan players. One a striker who decided to go else where in lg 1. The other a midfield player. Club still deciding to let him out

[millertop]

So have we decided to sign Kelly because the loan player went elsewhere?

[caytonmiller]

Btw. I use the term striker very loosely when talking about the loan one. Wasn't George Hurst a striker. Hmmmm

[Karl998yr]

Is Kelly signing confirmed by the club yet? Club announcement to follow?

[clarkey1974]

So have we decided to sign Kelly because the loan player went elsewhere?

Warne did say after Tuesdays game he would know either way in 48 hours on the two players…that would be personally not necessarily out in open

Personally I'm surprised at the next signing. You'll see why when it happens but if he's better than what we have I'll be delighted.

[flourbasher]

Cosgrove were is he going to play? Smith one of 1st names on team sheet never gets injured. Kelly isn't coming here to sit on the bench. We need cover for Chioe.

Cosgrove or whoever it is will get opportunities when the form of the others drops off, or injured, or suspended, got covid, wife had a baby, missed the bus

You can never have too many Strikers said Uncle Neil and PW uses that quote as well

You cannot go wrong with Uncle Neil. Except we have been running with a guy that probably will not sign a new contract, a first year pro and a loan Player up top .. Add to that a guy who has for some reason suddenly thinks hes far better than he really is .We have been really lucky Smith did not get injured unless we would be nowhere near the top .Kelly will add something that's for sure and its good if true hes a long contract .

Smith may sign a contract.
Grigg is on loan but has improved our play..
JJ is a first year pro but then again he's a decent player.
Who's the other one again?

[mellowmiller]

Pushing Ladapo down the pecking order ?, but need both players Saturday, if Kelly passes medical &

If he signs today would he be available for Saturday?
Also, is he fit enough considering he won't have played for a couple of months?

Don’t know time rules anymore but Warney usually likes to have them training first before using them in games

[Brin]

Correct. He won't be up to Warney's boot camp fitness levels so, he better prepare himself for some hard work.

A week in training a couple of short games and he'll probably roll him out against Donny or Accrington.

[Nardendee]

No that was the Monkees.

Haha

[Townerslovechild]

On Kelly,he`s a big lad,6ft 2,and strong,two footed,loves a header,and great strike rate in Irish Prem,not sure how that equates to England,but I`m guessing similar to league 1.
Looks a similar player to Smith in style and build,so maybe a replacement for him(Hope not),but I could see him playing along side Smith,that would scare the sh*t out of championship defences.
A bit of gamble,but he won`t cost a fee,and who had heard of Smith before he came.

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

On Kelly,he`s a big lad,6ft 2,and strong,two footed,loves a header,and great strike rate in Irish Prem,not sure how that equates to England,but I`m guessing similar to league 1.
Looks a similar player to Smith in style and build,so maybe a replacement for him(Hope not),but I could see him playing along side Smith,that would scare the sh*t out of championship defences.
A bit of gamble,but he won`t cost a fee,and who had heard of Smith before he came.

I think it equates to bottom end of league 2

But that doesn't matter if he has potential to be better.

He will only improve if he gets pitch time, which will need our management team to be brave. Which in my opinion is a quality they lack.

If Sadlier is judged surplus to requirements then Kelly has to be the new Vardy

True I’m I sure he’ll prove me wrong
I’ve always like Smith and be very disappointed if he was to leave but not much we can do about it unless we offer what he wants or his agent who always get in way

[Townerslovechild]

Grist,is Irish Prem really as bad as English non league ? Not sure about that,and what evidence have you got that the management are`nt `Brave `?

Agree with pitch time Angus needs that. Sadlier can't be compared with Vardy! Just make Kelly deal officially confirmed.

He was the one that mentioned Sadlier going to Bolton (500k) so could be right again

[avondalemiller]

I think Georgie boy will need some steak down him to et him ready for PW training tactics.

The Irish league is behind our equivalent league. He's shown his natural ability to score so we just have to coach him to get in to the space. The pace will probably do him until he's "up to speed" with us, so maybe using him off the bench. Time is the problem now.
He'll certainly wonder whats hit him in training with us, but he's a young hungry lad..........good luck.

Ive only been excited about one player we have signed in last 10yr, Matt Derbyshire absolute quality, how on earth SE got him i will never no. But whoever we sign always gets my support to start with. UTM

I was comparing Kelly with Vardy.

He needs time on the pitch to prove his worth.

Are Warne and Barker brave enough?

Time will tell

Welcome Georgie. Good luck lad

[CAMiller]

I'm going to predict that he won't score less goals than our previous Georgie.

[uttis]

Anyone got any info on who the Arsenal player is Aubameyang perhaps? 😀 Him and Freddie could compare egos

[great_fire]

Same agent as Ronaldo according to this, that can't be right can it?

Dont expect to see him in a millers shirt for 3 or 4 weeks , Warne said on dee dar it could take a while to get him up to speed not played for ages. Also got an injury atm.

[Slimchance]

I hope this is the key to promotion and staying in the championship.

Georgie I'm a fan straight away! Get him involved quick. Time is pts!

Sounds like warne is gearing him more up for next season than this. Gone is the time we sign a player and put him straight in the first team.

[GlennMiller]

If Ned proves himself on the training ground, Warnie will have him in the squad tout suite. We need refreshing up front and he could be the answer!

[Townerslovechild]

Got a good feeling about this lad,I reckon we`ll see him on the bench in a couple of weeks at Hillsborough,comes on and scores winner on his debut....BOOM instant cult hero.
Welcome Georgie.

Striker

Why a striker caytonmiller ? Arsenal have several youngsters available for loan deals this window.
Could well be a midfielder, Ben Cottrell ? left side midfield, James Olyinka another midfielder., Omar Rekik, cb who Portsmouth manager was reported as interested in signing him. Take year pick.

Cos the report I read said striker. Though I was told on Tuesday it was a midfielder/wide man from a prem club

[caytonmiller]

3.5 years
The report I was reading as tarted with Kelly then switched to the arsenal loan. As I read it it said Kelly deal for 6 month. Thought it a bit stranger when reading

[clarkey1974]

Oh dear, that’s bad news with your track record.

True ,but It’s one of the very few occasions I sincerely hope gru can actually turn round and say I told you so..!.

[Brin]

Is it too late to back him as highest goal scorer in the league? Sure this lad is going to be a winner for us!

[Karl998yr]

I've read he is a footballing unicorn and he is equally as good with both feet.
Not too many of those around

I see the Yorkshire Post says that one of the clubs in for him was Sparta Rotterdam. Hope Georgie isn’t dyslexic and is in for a disappointment.

I used to have a girlfriend from Wath called Kelly. Wonder if they are related?

Welcome Georgie. Absolute unknown quantity with regards to playing at this level but that length of contract means someone fancies him. Fingers crossed we see him in the first team soon!

In all honesty Smudge suits their style of play down to a tee.

Wouldn’t be be surprised at all at him going there if anywhere.

[Derbymiller]

It is a very good signing however it isn't a signing for this season, it could be march before he gets a start. For me this is a replacement for Smith, I suspect they expect Smith to leave in the summer at the end of his contract, he certainly will if we are not in the Championship. I hope our recruitment isn't finished in this window

Yes, that's my view on matters also.

The three and a half year contract is a big risk for a club with our turnover and budget, hopefully it will reap dividends

Well they are certainly backing their judgement…maybe the extra contract length was the carrot against other clubs getting him …also got factor in the hope of him settling over here..insert purrington here….I suppose there is always the tear up option but even that’s not without cost….our last foray down the long contract route didn’t work out too well insert palmer here..so it’s not without jeopardy..

Yes and the contract is way longer than most managers last in their jobs

[gru]

Warney doesn't say anything about Georgie being injured just lack of match sharpness. He's 25 age so shouldn't take him long to get up to speed. By sound of it we need someone up front with Smudger!

He's gone back to Ireland, he also said yesterday that he's got to finish his Masters.(maybe online?).

I think we'll see him a couple of times off the bench sooner than we think.....all down to how he looks in training.

Maybe that's because other teams start the match with their best striker on the pitch.
