I do hope when the bids start coming in for Hoskins that our club will point out that Hoskins ( 16 GOALS, 23 LEAGUE & CUP APPEARANCES ) has a better strike rate than Billy Sharp ( 19 GOALS, 30 LEAGUE & CUP APPEARANCES ) so the fans think he's a 1m player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bh_red Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 thing is sharp has been doing it for a couple of seasons now, Hoskins hasn't, but if the Millers want their top scorer to leave upto them I suppose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Hoskins is out of contract end of season and isn't signing a new one, and Sharp got loads of goals last season too.Sharp is worth a great deal more, Hoskins will go for less than half a mill.

There's no mention of it on their website, and being from an unnamed club makes you wonder... By the way, Ipswich are another club watching Sharp, Keogh and every other striker you care to name.As I've said before, until there's actual cash on the table the speculation about who's in for who is irrelevant and should be ignored when we pick our targets.

Nibor Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 so a quote from the chairman in the local newspaper up north saying a bid has been rejected from a club he isn't willing to name isn't to be listened to?Ok I find it a bit suspicious that he's not willing to name the club, can't think of any reason for him not to - and of course saying they've knocked back half a million would be a nice way of setting an asking price. I'd still bet he goes for less than half a mill.But that's not the point.We shouldn't give a toss about rumours or reported interest from championship clubs bla bla bla... we should just make an offer for a player if we're interested in them and go from there. I'll say it again, paper talk is irrelevant compared to cash on the table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any number of a myriad of reasons. Besides which since the club apparently rejected the offer he hasn't had one yet has he... if they did have one at all.I'm bored of this incessant bleating that every decent player in this division is beyond our reach because the Star said that 423 different Championship/Premiership/Serie A clubs are interested in them... it's bull. If the manager wants a player we should just go through the normal process and see what happens, simple as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 perhaps people are just being REALISTICPerhaps REALISM is not being too trusting of tabloid bull and internet rumours.Look at the players we've signed in the past that have had interest from clubs at a higher level like Akinbiyi and Goater.We've had players like Wilkshire, Cole and Peacock step down levels to sign for us.We can pay more than half the clubs at the next level anyway.What's unrealistic about thinking we should ignore speculation about other clubs when pursuing a player?
