Right...well 5 teams interested must mean at least 5 scouts think he can do a job. Offer him a contract and if it doesn't work out we should be able to get a bit of wonga for him through a wee sale. Bonza mate g'day

Think we’ve missed a trick with not signing Millar, but trust SC.

Only player in our team that is Championship quality. Will be gutted if he leaves but let’s hope Steve can pull a rabbit out the hat.

Bonza mate g'day How do the mechanics of commanding a fee for a soon-to-be out of contract player work?

Not sure we've ever 'owned' him have we? I thought it was just a loan. If we had an option then a failure to exercise it might prove to have been a huge mistake.

When we brought him in it said it was a loan with an option to buy. It's been said that this option expired in December but there's never been anything official in this. Cotterill indicated he wasn't aware of that and in this tweet it says he didn't think we had missed the option If he signs elsewhere then it doesn't necessarily mean the club have messed up, it could be as simple as that he has better options than playing for a team in a relegation battle. www.shrewsburytown.com/news/2020/october/matt-millar-joins-town/

Am I the only one who really isn’t infatuated with Matt Millar? I really haven’t seen anything from him that I think is that special. He seems to be one of those players who looks to do more than he does because he picks the ball up in space and runs at people.
His defending from the wings is okay recently but let’s not forget he was also getting beaten for fun by wingers earlier on in the season. For a few of those goals we were conceding he wasn’t stopping the ball from being crossed into the box or getting tight to his man. His tackling and positional sense isn’t exactly stellar either.
Going forward he certainly does take on players but the crossing has been a bit inconsistent and he seems to me to break up plays quite often with wayward passing to the opposition.
I think he’s raw at best but fans get the impression he’s doing more because he’s trying hard and is quick on the break. Throw into the mix we’ve had to endure Love last season with Fossey not being great this season and you end up thinking he’s better then he is. There’s a lot of potential there with his work ethic and he is by no means a bad player but he’s not absolutely indispensable to lose, especially if Steve has other players lined up there in January. If we can keep him great, if not I won’t be too upset.

If we can keep him great, if not I won’t be too upset. If we had Alexander-Arnold you’d find something to complain about. Not sure what more you can want, you were one of the most vocal critics of Rickettsball and how boring it was, we have a wing back who loved attacking, is physical, good with his feet, inexperienced at this level let’s not forget, and who’s been part of a defence that has kept successive away clean sheets against first and second. Unfortunately I suspect a club will blow us out of the water and snap him up, such is our place in the food chain.

I think Millar could be very useful in this league and he seems to have an eye for a goal for someone who is nominally a defender His style of play reminds me of Doherty (once of Wolves) in that he pops up all over the place when attacking. SC might see that as tactical indiscipline or might just let him get on with it ( surely the three centre backs who seem to regaining their confidence can handle counterattacks if Millar gets caught up the field) but Millar's athleticism and directness could be a big asset for us if used properly.

Looks a real clever player, hope we give him 18 months with us retaining an extra years option.

I think that they are as good a reason as any to sign the lad on and see how far the manager can take him !!

Bonza mate g'day How do the mechanics of commanding a fee for a soon-to-be out of contract player work? Don't think I worded it very well. How about: Offer him a contract, then if he doesn't do much we know other clubs are interested and come summer we may be able to sell for decent fee

Scarecrow's assertion that he doesn't rate him has made me confident enough in Millar's ability to offer him a five year deal.

Team sheet has him down as captain tonight? (Might be a typo?!)

The managers continuation in selecting him as a starter may suggest he could well be here for the foreseeable or is it just that there’s no alternative - I’d love to think it’s the former

We just need to get through till January for SC to bring his own players in. Some clearly need to be shipped out if he can.

Had Sarkic been available all season we would not have got into the position we did near the bottom. I hope Burgoyne comes along a bit before Sarkic heads off on international duties again. He's close, but needs to step up a touch.

As you said, it was obvious.
Not sure why his value is decreasing by the day though?

every day is a day nearer the end of his contract and a day nearer to the end of the window im thinking his contact is up in june which means he can now sign a pre contract agreement with any club and leave for free in june, which is why his club are desperate to try and get something now, same situation we were in this time last season with josh laurent
