Current Player Thread Stanley Mills

We should put a clause in. If PNE avoid relegation we can extra dosh. If they get promoted we get mega dosh. Plus an extra 50k every time he scores.
Get smarter.

I reckon the smarter move would be to ask for the mega dosh if they finish mid table.
 
Apparently Preston have signed a winger/forward from Middlesborough for £2m which might curtail their interest.

I like the idea of a club giving us money even if they haven’t signed one of our players.
 
So I believe mills is influenced by his dad.
His dad seems .a .reasonable seasoned pro.

It would surprise me for his dad to say give it till Jan or a season. Tear up L1 and either play for ox in championship or get a big move.

Mills is back from big injuries and still has a lot to prove, hopefully Ramsey got in his ear and said he's not come here to play L1 footie, and also said under his style he'll get mins to tear up the league..

Also mills will have seen what a full season at us did for Lanks

Danny Mills had eight or nine clubs so if he’s got an influence - which of course he will have - then he ain’t sticking around.
 
If you listen to the Danny Mills episode on the Undr the Cosh podcast you’ll see he chased every last penny he could get his hands on.
Hopefully the club will stand firm and PNE will look elsewhere
 
Surely the chance to be a hero here, the shining light that sees us through our darkest hour, and a chance to go down as an OUFC legend as a star player in Aaron Ramsey’s team, is more appealing then plying your trade for a midtable (ahem championship) team in some northern outpost..?

Burgzorg from Boro, but he’s a left winger. I’ve been told he and Mills are still likely, Campbell not so much now. Seems like it’s negotiating the fee that’s the hold-up. Again, I’m very much hoping he stays of course!

On the other hand do you have a disgruntled player on your books if you refuse to let him go ?
Can’t remember who it was but in this situation a few years back a player who was Newcastle was left to play in the reserves

Yeah, completely get that could happen too, but he comes across as a decent guy (unlike his dad during his playing career).
I’m sure he appreciates we took a chance on him after a long injury and the fact we can’t replace him if he goes. I just hope he gives us a chance and goes and gets 10 attacking returns before January and then we go from there.

I also think anyone in his situation would rather be playing in the Championship, regardless of the team over staying at a bit of a wildcard league one club.

(Not confident he stays but fingers crossed)

From the outside we have no idea what is going on. Whether Stan is happy or desperate to move on, whether the club are fending off bids or actively looking to sell assets. Only time will tell.

Hopefully the club are being true to their word, and Stan is happy here and gets his head down until January.

However, If (and it’s a big if) it’s a case that he forces the move then fair enough, I guess you can’t begrudge him that

But if we then get an emotional piece about how he has loved his time here, fans are special, will always look out for our results etc etc, I don’t think I’ll bother to read it.

We need him now, like all of our prized assets, more than ever. It might not be ideal for them but I hope they appreciate that.

He has the opportunity to learn from a first team coach who has played at a very high level along with newly established professional coaching staff.
He must, or surely know, that they could very well develop him back into a premier league hopeful, he has the skill, why chuck that rare second opportunity and just settle for a mediocre championship team?
Hopefully his dad will see the sense in that and not just tell to grab the money!
