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

You clearly don't grasp the model then.

How's that, the model would never revolve around selling your best players at the point of having 12 months left on a contract. If you honsetly believe we will uncover another Stewart for £100k anytime soon you're welcome to that thought marra.
We will have to spend the money and hope whoever we get fits in.
 
Ignoring the lack of striking options at the club that's pretty astonishing business. No guarantee he'll be anywhere near the standard he was before the injury.
 
I'm not gonna be emotional when reacting on here to him leaving, gonna spew some facts.

Hes the first big sale and the 2nd profit sale since this takeover I believe, after Lihadji. We are getting a guaranteed 20x what we paid, which is class.

The lad wants to go, his agent and him haven't been as practical as you'd hope, but in the end he's got himself a good move to a good club, likely giving him close to 10x his wage and a lot more should they get promoted. He's never had good money, relative to a footballer, in his career, so now is his opportunity to live comfortable for the rest of his life and set his family up for comfort too.

The lad gaves his all for us, still had intentions of staying until recently, you can say we dropped the ball or his agent dropped the ball, it doesn't matter, he's been part of a canny period of SAFC history and I am sure if this deal broke down right now, he'd come back and knuckle down and continue his graft.

The lad deserves what he gets. Good luck to him.

Over to Speakman and Co. Huge pressure on their shoulders to sign a replacement. Have a worrysome feeling we will wait till January to recruit a direct replacement.

Gutted tbh but we all knew it was coming. Canny fucked off with the club for not giving the lad what he's worth and earned. Over to you SAFC, go and find a player as good as Stewart for the £10M and prove me wrong about the "model".

I asked this before to someone who ignored it.

How do you know what they offered? Is it in the footballers salaries shop?
