Turks name Kenny Miller price

KENNY MILLER can leave Bursaspor for �£600,000 after his official transfer request was accepted.

Rangers, who are keen to bring the Scotland striker back to Ibrox for a third spell at the club, will face stiff competition from other suitors, though, headed by Championship side Cardiff City, who have money to spend as they try again to win promotion to the Premier League.

 

Miller has been pulled out of the Bursa pre-season training camp in Austria after a meeting with manager Ertugrul Saglam.

 

The former Old Firm striker has failed to settle with his family in Turkey and wants a return to Britain.

 

Bursaspor have reluctantly accepted his transfer request, but director Ilhan Uslu has warned that Miller will only leave on their terms.

 

"He is under contract to us and no business will be done until is suits Bursaspor," Uslu said.

 

Miller could get his wish to leave as early as this week. Bursa are in negotiations with AIK Stockholm for their Sierra Leone striker Ibrahim Teteh as Miller's direct replacement. If they can tie up a swift deal with the Swedes, the Scotland forward would return to Britain, as long as he can find a club prepared to stump up the transfer fee.

 

Ally McCoist has expressed an interest in Miller but has also stressed that the Ibrox club would only do a deal, and offer wages, at a level they were comfortable with.

I suppose �£600,000 isn't too bad, it probably comes back down to what Kenny will accept.

�£600,000?....Get in there.

Will Cardiff offer more in wages?

 

Will KM sign for the money or medals?

 

Will KM get homesick in Wales?

 

Cardiff are the new shellic, stalking us.

His family seemed only to settle in Scotland so a move to Cardiff at this stage of his career could be another gamble. If money is his motivation then Cardiff it is. If at 31 football is his motivation then Rangers will win the race.

Money has always been number one for him; darkest Turkey in the pursuit of greed may have been too much for his family, but Cardiff will probably be fine for a millionaire family.

 

Can't see us getting him but he does deserve a big, "told you so"...

 

Just shows you there IS more to life than pursuing as much money as you can, even for a mercenary.

Frankie said yesterday a deal of �£1.1M had been agreed.

cant help thinking that miller was pushed out the door when he left. was very strange for us to let him go given the fact that we were fighting for the league and had a decent run in Europe.

 

In fact its beggars belief we actually let him go. I would love to hear Mr Bains thoughts on that one.

I think he'll go to Cardiff. He can get a plane up to Scotland for a couple of days, although that might create a wee bit of annimosity within the Cardiff squad if he was seen as being able to bugger off every week.

 

I don't intend to lose anymore brain energy on what Kenny Miller will decide to do next.

I would prefer he went to Cardiff. But Malky McKay is doing a similar style scouting to his former team we go after someone then usually celtic are after the player as well seems like McKay is doing exactly the same.
