Ross Stewart

Confidence player, isn't he?

Was gutted when he left us for a team like Ipswich just cos they were in the PL when they were always gonna come straight back down.

Was never gonna make that big an impression in a struggling team.

On the other hand though, just imagine Talbi for 60 mins then JC for 30 against a tired full back or vice versa.

Aye, at the time anybody who supported the move talked about money, rather than football. Ipswich panned out like we all thought. Suppose he’s got another shot now, but thought he could have done better. That said, Speakman said only Ipswich ever bid for him.

Turns out he could be a decent selling point for us. We won’t stand in the way if a move comes in that progresses your career & also the grass isn’t always greener.
 
He was an amazing player for us for an 18 month period. Strange to think he’s been left now a lot longer than he was here for.

I wonder what the likes of Ross, Jack Clarke, Josh Maja even, think about the choice they made to leave first chance they had when they see where we are now.

I'd imagine the signing on fee's they all got means no regrets at all but God, what bad footballing decisions they were for all of them.

There is no guarantee they would have made the grade or even got in our current team.

They moved on, we’ve moved on. They were at Sunderland for 5 minutes and left for whatever reason.
 
Southampton should have had it tied up really. The only reason not to have done would be they were planning on letting him go if they went up. But even that makes little sense, he's still worth a few quid.

Stewart has watched his contract run down with no offer of a new one until past the deadline. Probably already has his next move lined up.

Hope he has it sorted before the World Cup, with his record.

They had until 4 days after the last game to trigger the option. When the last game was cancelled then this had expired. I would call that a technicality

So they had the entire season to trigger the option but wanted to wait until the last second leaving him uncertain about his future despite that fact he had done more than enough to justify its extention?

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.

We manage to take players who have never been injured and get them on the treatment tables in months. We would ultimately end Ross' career

seriously though, would absolutely take him

For all he scored goals, think a fair few were penalties, looks like he started only 23 matches & another 23 as sub.

He’s went from being the main man in a team that got promoted in the same season he left to a lad that’s in the bench every second week.

Shame did him, but I reckon if he’d had his time again he’d have stopped. Funnily enough, left wing has been one of our more problematic positions this season.

Tbf, he never wanted to leave. His issue was, he firmly believed he was being underpaid compared to the market.

Towards the end of his time here, there was a some movement on the new contract but then Ipswich bid £17m for him and the club rightly cashed in.

It will be interesting to see how he does next season. Personally, I’ve never been convinced he was up to PL quality.
 
BHH, if we can get him for nowt it's worth giving him a 2 year contract despite his previous injury issues. Bollocks to Southampton, a contract is a contract and they wouldn't have this problem if they hadn't cheated.

I think Stewart would have scored more than 6 in this team like Wilson did

He wouldn’t. He’d have never been fit.

I reckon Jack Clarke would have been better for us in PL than he was for Ipswich.

He still wouldn’t have been much good and we’d have just played Le Fee there most of the time like we did anyway.

He’s not a PL player. He’d have gone the same at as Dan Neil and Patto imo.
