Summer window

He’s gone then, if true.

 

Major threat imo. Alarm bells should be going off.

 

A busy old thread today with very little happening Let’s see what tomorrow brings.

 

We won't be offering 30k. Cheers for the goals Rossco. Hope the Achillies is OK (genuinely, I'm not taking the piss) All the best.

Semeydo is ****ing mint anyway.....

 

Aye I think he'll end up there.

 

Not a chance. I’ll be gutted if Stewart joins another side in this league like.

 

So would I mate tbh, i thought a Brighton or Brentford were decent shouts before his injury tbh.... i think Ivan Toney backed him to sign for Brentford tbh . Stoke would be the big kick in the balls but they are able to offer big money due to restrictions being lifted apparently. Either way we will be fine imo.

 

Ross Stewart to sign a 2 year deal with club option of a further year a

Then we sign some wonderkid from France

 

I'd be surprised if any club other than the clubs receiving parachute payments could pay 30k a week, especially with FFP scrutiny on the championship at the minute, as part of the embargo being lifted will of been a plan of sustainability moving forward or else it's a pointless excersize

Wouldn't be surprised to see him sign a pre contract with rangers tho always in the players favor moving on a free financially

 

I was also surprised. But that is what they’re offering him.

 

I don't think people are undervaluing what he offered us, the key is that it's past tense. How often do players suffer two major injuries in a single season and then come back to full fitness and see out their career at the top of their game, injury-free? I don't know if it's ever happened. I'm sure he'll still have a decent-ish career, but nowhere near what it could have been. I'd be shocked if he manages to play more than half the games in a season for any future club, and even more shocked if he can do so at a level equal to (or better than) he was playing for us just before his injury.

IMO, the rest of his career will be spent in and out of the physio room, and even when fit I seriously doubt he will ever reach the potential he had. It's a shame for the lad (and us), but I think it's the most likely outcome. The club are right to exercise caution.

Anyone who reckons he's going to come back and continue to progress, and play week in week out for an entire season, is in dreamland imo.

 

Maybe was. Doubt it’s on the table now.

 

How are Stoke offering Ross Stewart anything when a bid hasn’t been accepted?

Load of ****e.

 

Aye, one thing about Stoke is they won't go behind our back to sort a deal out! They did the same thing with Alex Neil! Add to that Alex Neil knows him and will have his number, not exactly a bloke to trust is he?

 

Our offer has been on the table for ages. That will be pushing up his wage requirements. He's be wanting all of the uplift he's missed out on plus more.

 

Not saying you’re wrong but Niall Quinn came back from 2 cruciate Iigament injuries to have a great end to his career and that was 20 plus years ago. Medical advances since I’m sure they will have a fair idea of how RS is doing - hopefully the lad comes back 100% fit.

 

Hilarious init

 

I’ve resigned myself to Ross going….in fact I’ve had that feeling for months now. The contract discussions had been going on a while prior to the injury and that’s when I felt he would be leaving. His injury has only delayed that. Interesting to know if the original contract was still on the table for him after his injury? If so, the lad is taking a huge gamble that he will be back to his best / full fitness after a serious injury like that. It’s a bit of a catch 22 situation. If he’s not going to sign and the club knows this, they’ll be actively looking to replace him. If we do replace him and he doesn’t get the games he needs to get his fitness up and put himself back in the shop window, is he going to get what he thinks he deserves??? Whether it be Stoke or Rangers, I wonder if their original promises to the lad are still there or if they have been revised as a result of the injury?

 

For the first time since i can remember, this club is going in the upward direction, its crazy how far we have come in such a short space of time, and i think that Ross Stewart knows where he is better off, Stoke are like what we were a few years ago, throwing money all over the place and we know where that got us, I have a feeling that Stewart will sign a new contract with us,

i know where i would rather be, and i think he knows that too, its been mentioned on here already that playing in a **** stadium that is half full with no passion, he will be here for the next few years imo.

 

As has happened since Moses was a boy, the buying club have spoken to his agent and laid out pretty much what the offer is.

Yes, it's called tapping up, but it's always happened and always will.

Do you honestly think a buying club put a bid in and hope they can agree personal terms with he player? They will already have the bones of a deal agreed well before submitting a bid
