Ross Stewart

I like him

 

[Scorer]

Harsh as if he leaves considering how much time he's been injured during his contract. That said, why have they waited til the very last minute to extend his deal? Sounds like they were being clever and it's not worked out the way they expected it to.

If Stewart's advisors have challenged the date the extension was lodged, he clearly doesn't want to stick around or wants an improved deal.

The fact they didn’t use the last day of the standard season suggests they were waiting to see which league they were in and probably not intending to keep him if promoted.

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

if he can leave for free I imagine his agent is quickly phoning rangers, Celtic and Hearts seeing if they will match or better his Southampton deal and if they can’t he will sign that extension.

Wonder if they have any other players that are in the same situation. Not that I have sympathy for them.

He'd score 30 plus up there. That's if you can keep him fit.

 

[Cappuccino Kid]

Given his injury record, he’s playing a dangerous game going into a World Cup without a club. Pulls up lame again, and he’s knackered.

 

[BlackHoleSun]

Has to be

I don't really understand the explanation anyway. The 5 days had already expired before they got kicked out
So they were late whatever the outcome and he got called up to the WC with only a possible 1 year extension on the table, and they'd bin him if promoted anyway

Haway home lad

 

[Geppetto]

Yeah that's what I thought, probs would have got rid had they been promoted.

 

[FoldingStars]

Aye he’d score for fun in Scotland just depends if they’d give him anywhere near what he’s on at Southampton considering his injury record it’ll be a risk for anyone to give him a 3 year contract on big money (relative to the club).

 

[Lucky1985]

Doesnt have much loyalty does Stewart!

Would still have him back

Same could be said for saints. They clearly didn’t want him that badly if they were waiting to see if they were promoted to extend his contract.

 

[FoldingStars]

He’s way out of Hearts’ league. Best striker outside the prem when fit and there’s some encouraging signs he might be over the worst of his injury nightmare

They’ll be shopping in the same level as Rangers and Celtic with Tony Bloom money, no idea who he supports but that’s how it normally works up there.

 

[Sandboy]

They didn't have to, they had another week and imagine they offered him it and he got injured in the last game

 

[FlashGordon]

This. They would have binned him off but now they haven't gone up and he's a good option for them again. Hard for them to play the loyalty card imo.

 

[Longy]

Southamptons doing a class job of f***ing themselves right up the arse like.

I’m going to put a bet on the announcement of their home strip being plain blue shirt with white shorts.

Hardly suggests loyalty from the club.

 

[Wakoro]

It's a physical league, lots of aerial duels and aggressive tackling, plus the winter conditions, artificial and poor pitches.

 

[Randy Ostrich]

Not that dangerous. He never has to work again.

 

[Sandboy]

Can't blame them given his record with them.

 

[Butcher's Coat]

Not this shit again

 

[Wakoro]

Not that dangerous. He never has to work again.

He'd have to reduce the lifestyle he's accustomed to and go into conservation mode to make it last.

I don't know which clubs would take the risk on him with more than a 1-2 year contract. Maybe someone like Wrexham or Birmingham.

 

[red mackem]

Boro could be interested in taking a chance on him, to put the chances away.

If they'd had a half decent forward, instead of Conway, they would probably be playing Premier League football, next season.

He fans to Boro and stays fit (fairly massive fking if) I’d be backing them for top 2 next season.

Because they didn't want to offer him a Premier League contract.

The lad owes them nothing. He fulfilled his contract and the club has done no more than fulfill it's obligations - they were ready to dump him at the last moment.
