Russell Martin has Ross Stewart as his main target **Transfer confirmed **

I think his agent has his heart set on making a killing one way or another. Would be curious to see who else is on his books, and if any of them look like turning in as much cash as RS.

If we sell he gets a % of the fee, if he leaves on a free he will get a chunk of cash from the club who sign him. Signing a new contract with us doesn’t really help the agent all that much.
I’d imagine this is why there hasn’t been much interest in doing so, even while injured.

I’ll say it again.

Any club that pays a significant amount for a player coming back from an Achilles injury would be mental. Probably the most risky injury for a player in sport even above a break or cruciate.

No guarantee how he will come back. In US sport something like 1/4 players with Achilles related injuries never even return. The idea someone will pay 20 million is absurd if they have a sensible chairman and medical team.

I can't see how he'd pass a medical this window. People are talking as thoyhe isn't injured.

Signing on fee and percentage of wages. The agent wins in every scenario. We haven't stumped up what rs wants. Likely he'll go now as think we've low balled for too long. If he proves fitness there'll be a huge line around the block for him

He isn't. He's in the final stages of his rehabilitation. A medical wouldn't show anything. A fitness test would.

I assume the rehab is part of the injury. How will he cope with the physical aspects of the medical?

In an all-be-it very small pool of games last season, Stewart's output was ridiculous. He was a statistical anomaly, an outlier that hammered players that went for 30m quid in the summer. Of course, the balance is, is that very small pool of games his norm or a purple patch and does he come back the same?

Either way, it won't have gone unnoticed.

Albeit, mate.
