Alfie speculation annoys Millers boss

The 50-goal striker has been the subject of a fresh bout of transfer speculation this week, with League One outfit Carlisle United reported to be the latest admirers.

Scott says he is tired of managers talking about Alfie in the press and that it is time they started backing up their words with actions.

"I'm sick of managers who aren't managers of Adam Le Fondre talking about my player," he said.

"There is rubbish being put in the papers about us wanting £1.5 million and turning down half a million.

"As far as I'm concerned, he's staying at this football club unless we get a bid we're happy with.

"I would rather people ring me and speak to me about him rather than going around the press. They either like him and want him or they don't like him and don't want him.

"If they do like him, they should talk about him in their own houses and not in the press.

"If you like him, make a bid, if not, shut up."

The Millers take on Huddersfield Town in a friendly at Don Valley tomorrow (3pm) before sending a team to Parkgate on Monday (7pm).
