I'd have felt sick at accepting £4m like, that is in the range where we'd be better off gambling on keeping him imo. Even £6m is iffy imo.

They may not be but they are pointless as well.
We’ve spent another window struggling to bring in a forward, most likely because of the fees that come with them. We’d now have two days to bring in a replacement for our best striker.
Earlier in the window then aye not so bad. Last two days when we are desperate and fees are being jacked up regardless the possibility of some money a year or two, or even at all further down the line, is no good to us.
8 million up front is a fair price for all concerned.

Given his contract, injury record, age etc I think if a club gave us 8m now we'd absolutely bite their hands off.
Injuries and age are the difference here, Stewart is better than Piroe if fit.

£10m rising to 12 wasnt it?
he was injured and had played many more games at this level

Stewart’s current contract isn’t great. This may be his last big pay day to set him for life. He’s not on that kind of money at Sunderland and may not have been offered it. He’s been on Scottish and league one wages the bulk of his career so in this case, I don’t think he should be treated as a greedy bastard like some of the ones who’ve done it in the past

He’s only a couple of years younger and Stewart is supposedly about to return to fitness.

The Kerch...?
Mental he’s spent 18 months earning a pittance mind. Could have easily signed then moved on a lot wealthier

I'm hoping you're going to give us an hourly update on how many hours are left in the window. Would be really helpful.

Reported as '10m+' for Piroe. Piroe is 3 years younger than Stewart, and has a lot more proven pedigree at this level. Averaged 22 goals a season for the last 2 years at Swansea.
So for the first time Stewart has confirmed a willling to move on, big news that

Hard to know the exact fee these days but I’m sure I saw 16.
The Situation
Striker
They got £12m. Reported by several reliable sources/publications.
Piroe is also 3 years younger than Stewart and has almost 100 games at this level versus Stewart's 13.
Even then I think football fans are more accepting of chasing money than we used to be. I remember I used to think Don Hutchison was a greedy bastard, but I bet if it happened now I'd blame the club.

I’d want the same for RS then, given we don’t need to sell and it’s been a nightmare replacing him.
The club might not be as keen to lose out on the cash, but I’d keep him.
