It's a gamble and he's certainly not worth 1.5mill at the moment but there's clear potential there. I can see similarities between Clarke-Harris and Andre Gray. I bet most people thought Burnley were mental at the start of the season paying 7 mill for him.

I see similarities between him and Andy Gray, signed from a rival because he looks dangerous and then flops... If he's a Riga signing though I will give him a chance
To be fair, the last person we signed who infamously missed a penalty turned out to be quite good for us...

But in all honesty - other than that absolute howler, he's always had the look of a decent player. Big, quick, not afraid to take someone on - possibly where Karlan Ahearne-Grant might be in a couple of years... Not the greatest of goalscoring records though. And I haven't seen nearly enough to make a proper judgement. He's quite young also.
£1.5m is an awesome ROI for the Millers, so I really hope we don't put in a bigger bid. Though we probably will, stupidly. (He's worth maybe £1m tops I'd say)
Would be interesting to know who targeted him, let alone scouted him? Having only see him play at Rotherham two days ago, in a fairly poor side, I can't see what he would add apart from third or fourth choice striker as injury cover.
If the bid for Clarke-Harris was serious, so we do go back to Rotherham with an offer they are more likely to accept then despite all my other criticisms of the ownership I would count this as a positive step, a signal that RD might just be willing to break his system by paying the going rate for a decent british prospect from a rival.
The club will have known Rotherham would never sell him to a relegation rival for that price, as any club would be insane to gift a talented player away on the cheap to a rival struggling club..................... ;-)
1.5 million is really not a big bid, not in modern football and considering the other circumstances surrounding this potential deal.
Decent prospect, British, January transfer window, we are a relegation rival trying to send them down instead of us and they would have less then 12 hours to replace him.
I want to be wrong but at the moment this has the whiff of a good PR offer that the club know Rotherham would never accept, to show us fans that we did try to sign a good british player on a permanent, we just could not get a deal done.

Like i said the board does spend money, people forget we spend the same on Piotr Parzyszek as we did on Igor (Worked out well).
Also 2.5m For Sarr? Thanks RD for spending a bit of money but come on mate, by some decent players please
you'll break the internet !
We have been here before
Even in the good ole days we only ever sold I expect the same
Was a nice winning feeling on Saturday now the chemical Ali propaganda starts

From memory, £1m+ for Max Gradel, £2m+ for Dulort, 750k James Henry etc....
Suspect we'll be adding £1.5m for Charlie Farnes-Barnes or whatever his name is to the list...
