Ross Stewart


Cannot understand the animosity towards Stewart at all. Yeah it’s frustrating that we are still at an impasse and nobody knows what’s going on, but it’s disgusting seeing some of you knackers wishing ill will on him if he were to leave.

He has been absolutely brilliant and really helped us get out of League One, and then showcased just how much of a threat he’d be at this level. The lad wants to do what’s best for his career, and if he can secure more money elsewhere then who are we to stop him?

So long as the club secured a good enough fee to be able to reinvest in an alternative, then that’s fair I think. Ross Stewart is one of our best players when fit, and of course I don’t want to see him leave, but people thinking he owes us ffs need to get a grip.
 
Because there are stories everyday of him and the club not able to agree a new contract over the last 12 months and whispers that he’s off to Southampton or stoke for about the same period

it’s like a klaxon and if you can’t hear it, nothing I can do about that

Cos Nixon never shit stirs 🤣
 
If the £7m is true i'd carry him down there on my back. Bloke obviously doesnt want to be here. Thanks for the goals Ross but nobody fully invested in the cause of the club isnt welcome.
I agree to be honest - if we got Hemir for 1m imagine what we could spend 7m on...
Trust the recruitment team, also its the first time we've bought a player and turned him for a profit in God knows how long

Hemir was a free wasn't he? Happy to be corrected of course but I thought he was out of contract at Benfica.
 
Take Southampton out of the equation though. Stoke have been in this race a while and it won’t go away, there’s 100% no smoke without fire. If they are willing to offer him 25-30k, if it comes down to a simple decision of “look give me 25k and I’ll stay on” and we choose to not do that, because it breaks our philosophy I don’t agree with it. Some might, I don’t, ya take a risk on a good striker.

Ultimately people were saying simms was never worth 7m, and Stewart is soooo much better. If that’s the case how much are we going to have to pay for a replacement at Stewart’s level. 14m? Also consider the wage here, how much is any player costing north of 5m going to want to be paid, especially a striker. I would bet Simms won’t have accepted less than 20k a week.

If it’s simply down to 5-10k a week, and we are choosing not to do it, it seems absolutely mad to me.

I'm sure Clarke is on something like 18k a week isn't he? If Stewart was wanting 20/25k, that doesn't seem like much of a leap to pay. I think he's probably been wanting in the region of the high 30's off the back of the Premiership interest when he was fit.

The injury and the length of time he's been out has thrown his contract up in the air due to everyone waiting to see if he comes back the same player.
 
Well our manager left for Stoke

IF these reports turn out to be true then our star player will be leaving us to join him or a team thats just been relegated


We arent in League 1
Give up man, stinks of gravy tbh, and if it’s not then u need some serious help if u think sunderland afc, at this moment in time, are a bigger draw than Southampton for any player. We’re still adjusting to life after that shite period in league one ffs. So it doesn’t speak volumes at all, it makes perfect sense to probably most professional footballers.
 
It appears he’s being tapped up by the likes of Stoke and Southampton

get him out the door, and let them sort his injury out and get someone who wants to play for safc in

he obviously doesn’t want to do that anymore, so get him out the door
Not sure I can 100% agree with that. Injuries have changed the dynamics of talks. Speakman says he wants to sign, both are trying to get the best deal possible. I’d imagine if he was fit right now the subject might have moved on quicker. As it is, it’s not as simple as yes or no. All parties have been given an enforced amount of time to analyse things. As have other teams.

I’ll stand by my post.


Southampton might be one of the only sensible options money & football wise.

Hes not getting a Premier League team in for him. He wants decent money & a chance to get into the Premier League. Southampton are maybe one of the only teams, right now, that can outdo on both sides
