Hi

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs

shocked

why? surely he isnt going to play

are they allowed to do this?
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

As I feared centre back could be the area that we need to sort out or it could be the area to scupper our campaign

What is the Mills thing about?
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

Ouch! thought he would be good for us, big loss at the back!
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

i thought you couldnt recall from season loans? not good fo his career
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

Very very odd. Has he had a major row with Scott. Can't see any injury news on Tottenham's OS
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

Makes you wonder why he's returning. As said above, surely he won't get a game for the first team.

Just what I was thinking, thought he looked very good and was very happy with a season long loan. Time to sign up Phillips :eek:

oh
sh*t
:cry:
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

Gutted.
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

The more I think about this the weirder it gets - not a good sign at all
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

again, kept in the dark, surely AS could at least give us some kind of information.
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

Didn't realise clubs could recall a player from a season long loan.

I can only think that either...

1) He is injured

2) Clubs in higher leagues are interested in signing him on loan, willing to pay a higher loan fee and also would be 'better' for his development

3) He is going somewhere permanently
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

Not good at all, thought it was a wind up when I saw the thread!!

Something must of gone wrong, he isn't going to play there!?!?
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

Not good. 2 inexperienced teenagers come in, smells like last season.
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

If Hamer has the same kind of season long loan deal hopefully someone has taken him into protective custody
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

Unbelievable, very difficult to comprehend :shrug:

It's not as if he's on loan from a team geographically far away so homesick could be a problem. Travel isn't much of an issue.

The only thing I can think of is a bust up with AS or the players.
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

Uh-oh! Big blow losing Mills. Be interesting to see why he went back to Spurs.

There are plenty reasons, surely Brentford would terminate the deal if it was a bust up, not Spurs recalling.
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

Seems very strange. At least as a short term fix it appears one inexperienced CB in and one inexperienced CB out. Clearly this is an area that needs addressing and based on evrything else AS has done since taking the reigns I will put my faith in him that he is working on the longer term solution.

Sorry, that was what was stated in the club txt.

Not backed up by the official site is it?

Someone could be buying him, that is the most obvious to me :shrug:
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

:sad: Much as I was warey of Mills being so young, at least he proved his worth in the preseasons which was apparantly all about mixing and matching but getting the players familiar with each other.

These two signins, show smacks of desperation and I am very disappointed in this. :sad:

Hope Pearce signs up, otherwise we are buggered at the back and I dont mean a la Smiffy style :D

Glad am not going now :sad:
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

Leaves us now with Osborne being the only CB with league experience, Wood and Dickson doubtful, so Brett to go left back, gets me thinking KOC to go centre back?
Bury have lot of threat and having a inexperieced CB will exploit us loads!
So KOC maybe? anyone agree?
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

I just found out there that some Tottenham fans are thinking that the only reason he has been recalled is so that Tottenham can sell him elsewhere. All will be revealed, I suppose.
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

Oh dear !!! Hope im wrong but looks very iffy for us at the back , our two centre backs are very weak !! Needs a leader there to organise back 4 , osbourne is not the man im afraid . Typical brentford 2 days before bigkick off !:sad:

Was hoping not to hear "Typical Brentford" this season :(

Maddogging is right, I guess we shouldn't all overreact too much but I don't feel as confident about going into the new season now. Come on AS get Pearce on board!

If there is one position we would not have wanted a departure to come from it was centre back. At the time of writing we have not got a partnership of decent league standard and I'd say that is an under reaction.

“So up stepped Andy Scott to make an instant impact with a run of eight wins in 12 outings either side of Christmas.
However, the players, most of whom were galvanised by his modern methods, couldn’t maintain the high standards they had set for themselves.
Eventually, Scott’s patience started wearing thin and he spent the closing weeks of the campaign ranting and raving with alarming regularity.
Seven of the first-team squad were shown the door in the summer and it will be interesting to see whether his bite in the transfer market can live up to his bark in the dressing room.
It remains to be seen whether Scott’s robust personality will work amongst tender egos at this level but he possesses the ideas and potential to go far, so long as he doesn’t alienate too many players along the way.”

Quote from fillourboots site, this guy seems to have intimate knowledge of our dressing room, perhaps this is the reason for Mr. Mills departure.

Can you point out what part of this would require "intimate knowledge of our dressing room", because I can't it.
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

shame. maybe spurs are going to sell him or use him as part of a bigger transfer deal?

from the little we have see he looked up to championship standard.

or maybe he will go on loan to a championship club?

i hoped that we weren't going to make up the numbers with teenage loans again this season - but we have taken two youngsters with no league experience from bristol city. we cannot offer them much as we have no reserve side.

like the rest of you, i would like to see us sign an experienced centre back.
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

Total over reaction to a player that hasn't played a league game for us. yeah, he looked good in pre season friendlies, but its frendlies is the key word here. keep the faith.

I agree, but Mills has yet to play a competitive game, so what difference does it make him or Wilson in our squad. I think the general consenseus seems to be that an experienced centre back will be with us by Aug 31st, but until then, we have to try and outscore the opposition. :sorted:

It makes a difference because he has been with us for 7 weeks, where he has learned our style of play and hopefully became an important team player both on and off the pitch. This is why AS was so keen to get the team together before the start of pre-season and he seemed to be an integral first team player. That's all lost now, and whoever we get will not get the same time to bed in with his team-mates. He seemed to be our forthcoming rock at the back, so in that sense it is pretty bad news.

We're going to be looking pretty shakey at the back for the next few games.

Why is nothing ever straightforward for Brentford?

Tend to agree, he obviously has potential but so do many.

Maybe AS found out he wasn't as good as he thought and couldn't promise him a regular starting place??

I place no credence in this persons posting nor do I have any knowledge of dressing room relationships or methods but with reference to your question Banana the 2nd 3rd & 4th sentences

I see nothing that requires "intimate knowledge of the dressing room", just facts and observation of Scott in the Press Conferences.
 

Leigh Mills gone back to Spurs (and now gone to Gillingham)

I'd assume either Spurs have a massive defensive injury crisis or someone has decided to buy him and Spurs have decided to sell.

Or perhaps he's injured.

If he turns up at Luton, Bournemouth or Rotherham I'll be distinctly unimpressed.

I'm sure someone 'in the know' will reveal all shortly.
