Of the 8 players that we've signed, only 2 came from Rotherham.

This constant criticism of Warne/Thomas/DCFC based on a false narrative that we "only sign players from Rotherham" is pretty pathetic.

The other 6 players turned us down

He called Korey Smith first last summer IIRC, but that’s about it.

Seems as if Kelly recently picked up a bad knee injury in training anyway so doubt there’s too much in it.

He used to cover both Swansea and Cardiff, so probably got the Korey Smith info from any connections he still has there.

Not as pathetic as Warnes/Thomas/DCFCs attempt at signing players...how long since the last one signed? 5 weeks, or is it 6 now?

Not sure why I waste my time replying to you, but it's quite apparent you had no idea how budgets work and it's laughable.

He’s got an absolute honking record at any type of professional level.

Has he? His goals record is very good.

Irish Championship:
37 goals and 5 assists 54.45 90's (0.67 goals per 90)

Championship:
4 goals in 7.8 90's (0.51 goals per 90)

League 1:
1 goal in 10 minutes.

Conference League Qualifers
4 goals in 6 games (0.67 goals per 90)

I was focused more on the Championship and League One - perhaps unfairly but noticed that he started 4 games (brought off in all four without scoring) and his four goals came off the bench. Lack of game time at Rotherham is concerning. 

He did well in Ireland, but the standard is hard to judge. I've never watched him play, so I could be wrong, but I get the feeling looking at his game time, record, stats, that he's a player who lacks genuine ability and that's why he isn't trusted to start games.

He’s nothing more than a cult hero for Rotherham, occasionally coming off the bench here and there. It would be so disappointing to spend the summer chasing a Mcgoldrick replacement to end up with Kelly! 

[Donegal Ram]

Local lad from my town. Only a matter of time before he got linked with us due to Warne signing him for a low fee and him being slightly different type of striker. Knee injury has put a stop to that now surely.

Because you love it, you can't leave me alone, you dirty little devil.

By the sounds of it, it's mostly down to injury/fitness.

Hilarious how quickly some posters seem to be prepared to believe the ramblings of anyone spouting stuff on social media when we're 'linked' to an ex or current Rotherham player.

It does suit their agenda though. Don’t you think it’s hilarious when someone makes a comment about Rotherham? No, me neither….Whatever the title of the thread , there’s someone ready to make the side-splitting Rotherham reference. It wasn’t particularly funny first time and certainly not 10/20/30 times later. However, I suspect that won’t stop it.

Get mad at the lazy journalism before the club. 

Oi, this is the perfect opportunity to bash the club for a written piece that they have no control over. I don't care how many Rotherham players that have been linked and haven't signed, you can't waste an opportunity like this.

Vickers and Washington signed directly from Rotherham.

Wilson and Bradley are players Warne previously tried to sign at Rotherham but they chose other clubs. Whilst Nelson was first linked to us just a month after Warne took over as manager, suggested he was already on his radar when at Rotherham.

Warne had been closely watching Ward's situation for a number of years, hoping he would become available to sign.

Leaving just Elder and Waghorn (who was a fluke signing thanks to Fozzy because Warne thought he had an ego)

But what @Carnero said was true. Only 2 have come from Rotherham, right?

Manager signs players he previously scouted whilst managing in league 1. Shocker
