Alex Bruce was asked about possibility of more player departures at Rotherham United. Here's what he had to say

The striker, who had a year left on his contract, has joined MK Dons in a move worth £600,000 plus add-ons to the Millers.

Although some other players have admirers elsewhere, there have been no bids, and Bruce has his fingers crossed that the situation remains that way.

"I'm sure there might be a couple of lads who are on people's lists, but there's certainly nothing concrete with anybody," the head coach said.

Last season, right-back Denzel Hall was a wanted man, and Preston North End were poised to pay a seven-figure fee until he suffered a hamstring injury in January.

He is fit again now and clubs will be monitoring his progress.

"Everybody's got a price and that will never change in football," said Bruce, speaking generally about his squad and not the Dutchman specifically. "We don't really want to lose anybody because we're short on numbers. But we'll see what happens over the next couple of weeks."

With the League Two campaign fast approaching, the Millers are optimistic of adding to their four signings so far this week.

"The only thing I'm looking at at the minute is getting people in to boost the squad," said Bruce who has now been at the helm for a month. "This time of year is hectic, whether you've got a settled squad or you haven't. You're always on the phone, you're always trying to push for things, and I've been no different.

"It's been enjoyable, it's been something that I've been really pleased to do and I'm looking forward to hopefully finding the right individuals to come and help us."

The head coach acknowledged the need for reinforcements to be in place as quickly as possible.

"When the new bodies come in, we'll work with them, integrate them into the group, show them how we're going to play, how we're going to set up," he said.

"It'll be a case of integrating those individuals into the group and working hard so that we are ready for the start of the season."
