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

[HoxtonMackem]

Thank fuck that’s over, has killed the club for the past year.

Longest saga regarding a player leaving in yonks number of years.

Was beyond tedious and I’m glad it’s sorted.

Its a huge loss, like. One you can't avoid if he doesn't want to be here but he's a quality striker and our squad is worse off as a result.

Footy insider need a slap

Out - 9.5 million in profit over 2 years on a player who has hardly kicked a ball in last 12 months.

and now hes ready to kick a ball again for a different team in the same league while we got kids upfront with less senior appearances than LND had goals last season !

 

[houst69]

Very disappointing, should have give him what he wanted

 

[Rivet Catcher]

If he’s better than what we have and he’s playing for his future he would be an

Greedy bastard.two massive injuries and a shite agent.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

and now hes ready to kick a ball again for a different team in the same league while we got kids upfront with less senior appearances than LND had goals last season !

I reckon he’ll play 10 games for Southampton and get another 4 month injury.

It's certainly hampered our window. Had he been fit and moved months ago wed have been far better off.

Speakman saying ross indicated he saw his future elsewhere

He probably saw his future elsewhere because speakman would not agree a competitive salary with him to reflect his ability

 

[Turnip from the Tip]

Ross Stewart said: “I’m absolutely delighted. It’s been a really long day, but it’s been really good too. In the end, I’m delighted to get everything done in time and I can move forward now.

“Southampton is a massive club. In recent years it’s been a Premier League club and for me it’s a great challenge to come down here and play football for a team that’s going to be competing at the top of the league.
”

Sign of the times I’m afraid.
We can’t compete with the financial or footballing pull of Southampton. We’ll just have to accept that.

 

[Whey]

Was never going to sign a new contract with us, been injured since January, in last year of contract. If we got 10mil out of that, that's a hell of a move for all involved.

Good luck, Ross!

 

[MackemMagic]

Be at Greenock Morton in 3 years. Prick

Curt wording from Speakman. Wanted out so we got the best deal we could.

He's held the club to ransom for the last 12 months, and has obviously (to everyone) wanted to leave.

Should the club just throw money at him (and break the clubs wage structure) on a crock?

 

[Roker Mackem]

No goodbye message from Ross like?

It’s like that is it, Ross? Fair enough…

The rat can fuck off like

Everyone’s a winner…

i reckon he wont get injured and will score more than all of our 4 unproven kids combined

Exactly this.
