Sell him . Sets a bad president for players playing all the angles and us running behind .
I disagree, he will go this ,last day of the transfer window is my guess. While disappointed in him not signing this contract I full support Speakman for holding off improving his contract further until he has proved full fitness. We've been bitten too many times in the past to put all of our chips on one player.He was probably being advised to hold out on our offer and see what happens. Then the second injury came which rocks things a bit. Now he’s stuck here and both sides look to be “holding out” but also injured so it’s harder to generate interest.
I suspect he’ll leave on a free next summer
Things changeI thought the club pulled the contract off the table when Ross got injured?
I also thought that once Ross proves his fitness, the new contract will be offered?
Then we’re banking on somebody bidding money this summer? Might get a couple of million if we’re luckyI don’t think the club will allow him to leave on a free, the model makes us cash in on this situation.
A year ago LND was my favorite sunderland player. I think we have moved on - still be happy if he stayed and signed - as a team we are clearly less dependent than we were
How exactly have we moved on? Have people lost the plot on here?
We've just spent half a season without a centre forward. Although we tried to adapt and done bloody well we struggled massively at times with simple aspects the likes of Gelhardt didn't and couldn't bring to us.
Further to that the mainplayer who was digging us out, more often than not, with moments of brilliance has gone back to his parent club.
People are in for some stark realisation come the start of the season of they think we've moved on from the like of Ross Stewart who when fit was as good as anyone in the Championship last season.
Exactly mate plus we would probably get no more than 25% of that up frontIt would take about half that at most if he refuses a deal
With speakman coming out and underlining that we are not a selling club and referencing stewerts contract directly... those to things together could me that were aren't that far apart on a deal.
Stewert has pretty much let it be known that he wants to stay...
Stoke might be owned by the Coates family but are a bit of a basketcase
We need "A" centre forward fit marra, and at the start of next season, that won't be Stewart.There is no guarantee we will start as we finished last season. Playing with no CF and literally walking the ball in the net or scoring Worldys into the top corner. We need our CF fit and ready to take bread n butter chances.
Has that been confirmed he won't be fitWe need "A" centre forward fit marra, and at the start of next season, that won't be Stewart.
QuAtez family surely?With speakman coming out and underlining that we are not a selling club and referencing stewerts contract directly... those to things together could me that were aren't that far apart on a deal.

Confirmed not ready for the start of pre season apparantly, so will struggle to be ready for the first game if that is the case mate.We need "A" centre forward fit marra, and at the start of next season, that won't be Stewart.
No, not at all.Has that been confirmed he won't be fit
Stewart will not be back until back end of preseason so will probably not see him until 10 games in to new seasonHas that been confirmed he won't be fit
What are your thoughts on his future Keith? Will he leave this Summer?No, not at all.
Speakman said he wouldn't be fit for early pre-season (it starts tomorrow) but maybe fit the middle to the back end of pre-season.
He then went on to say there was a doubt he'd be ready to start the season.
IMO that means he'll be training alone until they decide he's fit enough to join in with the team in full training. It's still 7 weeks until the start of the season. If he's training fully in say 4 weeks time he would have a chance on being on the bench for the first game as he'd probably have played some minutes in a friendly or 2.
Given the prognosis on his recovery you would have to say it looks highly unlikely. He's a massive asset for us, worth at least as much as Clarke. Burnley have had a supposed £10M bid for Clarke turned down.What are your thoughts on his future Keith? Will he leave this Summer?
