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


Quality player tbf. If he can recover fully he'll have a decent end to his career in the premier league.
 
While it didn't take him 18 months he did take time, he only started two league games in his first (half) season.
Carrying an injury plus Wyke was scoring for fun. Even in his off the bench appearances it was obvious RS was a better player than Wyke. I’d have had Wyke on the bench mesel.
I reckon there needs to be some type of punishments from the Mods to people who mention Amad's name like. It genuinely makes me emotional to think about how much much he loved it here and how much we loved him. The one that got away and it's far too soon to speak about.

To not take the thread too off topic: Stewart will be a backup striker for them and will score no more than 3 league goals this season.
Within a month of starting his first first team game for them he’ll be first choice. If he can stay fit.

He's gonna have missed almost half the season, having played about 15 games in the last 2 seasons. it's gonna take him time to get up to fitness, and after being out for so long there's a good chance he won't get back up to the same level. Add to that Southampton play a different style to us, and it took him about 18 months to click with our system before he started scoring goals.

My point is, I don't think he will outscore our forwards this season. Think he will do well to hit double figures tbh.
He scored at Wembley less than 18 months after signing man.

Oh aye Stewart is definitely the better player.
 
Confirmed as being out again until late January after suffering another setback.

A total of 17 minutes played this season and even if he was to be fit again for their last January fixture on the 27th, would have been available for 15 of his last 78 Championship fixtures.

Yet the vast majority on here were advocating us to give him whatever he wanted to keep him and ripping the club to shreds for refusing to do so!

Thankfully they don’t run the club

The lad was immense for us and theres no denying that. However, as time passes its becoming increasingly clear this was a particularly shrewd bit of business by the club.




Its just a shame we didnt replace him.
