InglewoodJack Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Dumb move. Probably looking to get a ton of TAM and then hopefully find the next Kamal Miller and sell him for even more TAM in like 2026.

PastPros Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Does the player have a say in the matter, when it come to trades? e.g. if Kamal has an eye on a transfer to Europe - but then gets traded... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done business with Saputo Cheese, and they are the cheapest bastards. I had to cut off the relationship because they wouldn't pay in a reasonable time.

sebdeserio Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Pretty disappointing if he does move within the league but maybe there aren't good enough or any offers from Europe and he doesn't want to lose interest by staying on a sinking ship. toontownman and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 All the article says is that Montreal are looking for allocation money for Miller. But I doubt they are specifically looking for "allocation" money. Makes me think they have no overseas offers for Kamal. Maybe this is about Kamal wanting out due to all the changes. If his goal is to get to Europe, he needs to be with a MLS Cup contender - especially as a defender. Hard to shine as a defender with a poor side.

toontownman Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Will be pretty gutted if he moves within the MLS. That said I'd be happy with the caps signing him. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am speculating that Nancy's replacement will continue to run three at back like he he did with DC, so having a consistent perforner for club and country on the left side would be a key piece of continuity.

Especially with Mavinga out of the way. On paper that would be one of the top pairings in the league. Shame for the Impact to be gutted, but at least they are willing to play up-and-coming prospects. I am okay with them being the development club while TFC is the club with 4 core national team players in their starting line up (Miller, Laryea, Kaye, Osorio).

Ansem Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Sucks for his development, that's for sure. He had potential to grow much more. Kennedy, when healthy, will most likely be the 1st choice at LCB. I thought he was missed at the World Cup, definately faster and better in the air Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominic94 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I believe they are weighing wether or not they can get more from MLS or Europe. would also think Waterman is on the outs. toontownman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He still very much has the potential to grow and I am sure he'll do just that. But on your point about Kennedy, yes he is better in the air and he's faster too. He's not particularly agile, perhaps less so than Miller, but he's just as good on the ball from what I have seen. For a while I thought it was going to be Kennedy as the number 1, but injuries left the door open for Miller to grab the role. Wouldn't surprise me though if Scott was able to muscle the starting role away from him though. Then, we have a very capable Cornelius who just transferred to the biggest club in Sweden, and arguably a top 5 club in Scandinavia (Copenhagen, Brondby, Malmo, Rosenborg, Bodo-Glimt?) .

Bison44 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 Yeah, Miller is only turning 26, so not even into his prime for a CB. He's had 2 solid seasons with Montreal, but I dont think he has outgrown the league. There was some talk of him being nominated for defender of the year, but it didnt happen. His passing out of the back is getting batter all the time and hopefully he polishes up other aspects of his game this season. Will that happen if he transfers to europe and maybe struggles for playing time ala Lareya? I still think he can stay in MLS and become a Kendall Watson, CHad Marchall, Nat Borchers, be a top MLS CB and anchor the national team into 2026. nolando, Ruffian, Obinna and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Observer Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 I think 26 is not far from prime which maybe 28 so if he doesn’t move now, he will likely won’t unless he improves the way you say but most clubs will still release that at 28 he will likely be on the downward slope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 One thing to consider is that should he go to TFC (no rumours aside from hopeful TFC fans trying to wish a homecoming into existence) he's probably not leaving for a while. Toronto doesn't have a good track record of selling players on to a better level. They are more into buying the finished product. Miller isn't the finished product, but he's getting close. Would TFC grant Miller his European wish if say by summer there's a team in Ligue 1, Belgium or the Eredivisie willing to pay 3-4 million for him? If his immediate future away from Montreal involves MLS, I want that to be Toronto, but that particular aspect makes me nervous as a national team fan. johnyb and Corazon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFC has an extremely recent example of selling a national team player to Europe so perhaps this current management is more open to it than previous ones.

kohanz Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 I'm out of the loop, but what do we think happened re: transfer interest from Europe from Miller. It seemed that during and after the World Cup, there was a not-insignificant number of people who felt that he, along with Kone and Johnston we're nearly sure things to pack their bags for a move overseas. We've seen that happen for 2 out of the 3, but what happened in this case? Is it his club needing him or holding out for more? Or was the interest in Miller from Europe luke-warm at best? Does the player have those ambitions? Fill me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the case of making the right move, not just making any move. I think he also mentioned the challenge of moving in January, or something to that effect, so that may be part of the "waiting for the right move" story. It should be noted here that Johnston's move to Celtic was already in the works before the World Cup, and Kone was already linked to Championship clubs before the World Cup, so the interest was less about the World Cup performance itself. Ditto for Cornelius, who moved after the World Cup but didn't play in it. Miller's time will come.

InglewoodJack Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 He had an interview from a little while past where he came out and said that most of the serious interest from abroad were more interested in a summer move, and that his agent is gonna be monitoring the situation and see if it makes sense to make a move then. like @Obinna said, any deal that happened right after the world cup was in the move for some time before the WC- with everything happening, I don't think clubs will shell out millions of dollars for a player they've just heard of a few weeks ago. AJ has had european interest since Nashville, and Kone had at least two credible offers fall apart for reasons unrelated to his play, so both guys were firmly on the radar, I'm sure the world cup gave their new teams confidence in signing them, but Kamal Miller was more of an unknown. I think that's a tough situation for him to be in. It's going to be tough to build on his last season with how awful Montreal is shaping up to be, and his role in trying to fix his teammates' mistakes, so hopefully that interest doesn't dry up over the next few months. kohanz, Jack1997 and Obinna 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
