Believe in the model, I know he’s probably unfit, won’t hit the ground running, and will cost less than a quarter of what Stewart’s going for but the board are doing something right here.

So what about the 2 penalties that Stewart won by being clean through on goal like at Boro? Do they not count?
The Situation
Striker
He's been unavailable for 37 of our last 50 games, so it feels like he's been gone for quite a while now IMO.
He's obviously a very good player but I don't think you cripple yourself by giving him a ridiculous contract which will obviously have knock-on effects elsewhere, that some are suggesting.
As an example, the top of the list of Championship top scorers last season featured players such as Piroe, Gyokores, Morris and Tella, all players who were signed for a combined less than £6m but of course who would have been written off on here before they'd kicked a ball for us as the usual suspects wouldn't have heard of them.
Only thing that annoys me he has probably been fit for a while but we don t dare get an injury to saleable asset. Same with baath

He's a quality championship striker but for a player to think he's bigger than this club doesn't sit right with me

Stewart didn’t come from the model it came from Brian McDermott telling Lee Johnson about him, the model hasn’t brought in a striker yet

Piroe is a few years younger and has scored around 20 goals in the last two seasons so you could argue that he should be more expensive, but Stewart should definitely be worth at least the higher end of single figure millions
Interesting that.
In fairness, stewart offered us much more defensively too.

THAT is weird. Isn’t it?

He doesn’t think he’s bigger than the club he wants a big pay day it’ll be the biggest pay day of career

We’ll be told how we were blindsided by our own decision not to pay him enough, leaving ourselves without enough time to do what we’ve failed to do for three consecutive.
Many apologists will, as usual, lap it up.

All this could have been avoided had he signed a new contract. The club weren't being tight with his contract offer. Wasn't he offered 5 times his wage he's on now ? Like I've said, he's quality at this level, but he's not bigger than the club.

Yeah gutted if he goes, as this years play off chance will go with him, and he dragged us out of the horror that was league 1, not single handily but there is no chance we went up without him, and anyone saying different is just using revisionist history I’m afraid.

Most will totaly understand the logic IF we replace him with a suitable option, ie a striker that can score goals, like him etc etc.
Most will not understand if we flog him and then get a body in to fill a seat.

I don't think clubs are going to offer a shit tonne more a week to be honest with this injury he's had. All a guessing game really but Southampton would be a step up in reality. It's the like of Boro that would be the head scratcher

I don't know how many penalties Gyokeres directly won, either, so I'm not judging either of them on that. Stewart actually missed that penalty as well

This is it. I don’t want to see him go and I think it’d be a real shame, but if he does then just make sure we have a replacement in. We should’ve had another senior forward in regardless.

Difficult one this for the club imho He obviously isn't going to sign a new contract. No one knows what he's going to be like when he returns, he's had a terrible injury for a footballer and hasn't played for 8 months.
If he isn't going to sign a contract it's going to be a good couple of months for him to get match fit plus players coming back from long term injuries always seem to pick up little niggles when they start playing again
If we were only offered a couple of million they would probably rather keep him for the rest of the season but if it's 7 or 8 they will probably take it

Aye, it’s pretty easy to cherry pick a handful of ones that have worked from hundreds that haven’t tbf.
Though transfer fees themselves don’t necessarily reflect success, or at least contextual success, wages tend to.
