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

[sofatester]

And yes it's another Stewart thread but seriously wtf is the hold up with announcing his signing?

There's obviously something that's gone on whether it's Southampton playing daft twats or something else, but it all seems a bit weird especially with all these failing medical stuff coming out more than once tonight

Who would have thought a lad who’s just torn his quad and snapped his Achilles would fail a medical ….

Shambles this

I don’t think he has. It’s the same tweet from 5 hours ago getting regurgitated.

 

[Coeus]

Would that mean that the deadline doesn’t matter?

If he isn't registered he doesn't have to sign by the deadline I dont think, no.

 

[Chucky Puddin]

Just Southampton playing funny buggers trying to get him cheaper.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Southampton or ourselves need to put out confirmation one way or another.

“Suggestions” will be from footyinsider

The the second post is irrelevant because it’s just quoting the first

I doubt an editor at the Mirror is using FootyInsider as a source like an hour after the report was denied.

Someone wants it out there that he's failed a medical. I still think it'll go through.

Someone was saying the plane was delayed and he's still at the airport.

Stewart fails medical. Now there's a surprise.

The problem is we now have an injury risk on the wage-bill.

I'd rather he was someone else's problem to be honest.

Not really, he’s lost all bargaining power for a new contract with us.

So sees out his contract on a pittance but wouldn’t be able to down tools as would need to prove his fitness and ability for somebody else to take that risk on him.

Lad is probably gutted he didn’t sign on the dotted line for our offer sooner.

Stewrat.

Presumably. Unless by “released” they mean that his club has agreed to waive a fee for this transfer - rather than terminate his contract in advance.

I could see why we’d want it done today anyway, regardless.

We'll end up accepting a £4 deal in about half an hour.

Sounds plausible

 

[Fetch Fletch]

They’re still trying to pry him and his wheelchair out of the turnstile

 

[dark destroyer]

Stewart to stay and him and Rusyn to tear up the championship

 

[journeyman]

Southampton realised he won’t be available until later this year and they know they can get him cheaper in January

Yeah but he's realy cheap wage wise. That's his fault and his agent's by the way. We tried to increase his wage.

 

[Krusty up front]

Bloke on twitter reckons Saints want to pay installments after medical results and KLD says no. Tricky stand off if so
