Liamlcfc1 Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 http://www.readingchronicle.co.uk/sport/readingfc/articles/2011/07/07/52871-mills-in-talks-with-leicester-city/ READING captain Matt Mills is in talks with his hometown club Leicester City after the clubs agreed a fee.Royals are believed to have accepted a bid of around £4 million for the 24-year-old centre-back. Leicester-born Mills moved to Royals for £2 million from Doncaster Rovers two years ago. But last week the ex-Manchester City and Southampton player rejected a new deal at Madejski Stadium. That meant Mills would have been in a position to leave Reading on a free transfer next summer when his contract ran out. As a result, it seems Royals are ready to cash-in while they can and sell to Championship rivals Foxes. It is understood Premier League Wolverhampton Wanderers also met Reading's valuation of the defender, but Mills has opted for a move to the Walkers Stadium. If the transfer goes through, Royals boss Brian McDermott will have to step up his search for a new defender as Ivar Ingimarsson and Zurab Khizanishvili have also left Madejski Stadium since the end of last season. That leaves McDermott with only two specialist centre-halves in youngster Alex Pearce and the relatively inexperienced Sean Morrison.

General Smuts Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 That's what wiki says. He's the son of ex LCFC Gary Mills. Yes Gary Mills - I didn't know this.
Guest Bilo Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 nothing to do with Mills, but some Forest fans showing their jealously http://www.forestforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=26482 AH DON'T CARE ABAAT LESTOH HERP DERP
MC Prussian Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 Come on, Bert. Spill the beans. We've signed Mills, right?
Happy Fox Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 He's failed his medical. Only joking So he has passed his medical then
lcfc_amie Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 He's failed his medical. Only joking You had me scared for a minute then
Danny the Fox 95 Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 He's failed his medical. Only joking BERT! I literally just had a heart attack!!
Woollett's Wellies Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 I tell you. That would be a brilliant rumour for the club to get out in the hope that Wolves would pick it up and hesitate just long enough for us to get him signed!
ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 BERT! I literally just had a heart attack!! think my heart stopped then
ThurnbyLodgeFox Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 was confirmed over an hour ago we had a bid accepted, so i would imagine he isnt too far from leicester now
w27 Posted 7 July 2011 Posted 7 July 2011 http://www.expressandstar.com/sport/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2011/07/07/wolves-losing-out-in-matt-mills-bid/ According to that ^ he wants to join wolves because they can offer him premier league football....hmm interesting. would expect if straight offer on level playing field then yes he would choose our wolves over yourselves but with you raising the bar and getting first contract talks (hopefully you offer him a bomb) then hope he goes your way wolves still yet to agree a fee, and even if he did prefer to come to us (if true?) then he may also change his mind if wolves dont act quickly - seems leicester shown bit more desire to conclude the deal
