So you think we'd much rather let him walk away for free than accept a bid from Luton now? I don't

I don't think they'd pay more than £5m for him now. And I think we'd take the risk of keeping him if that's all they'd offer. It wouldn't just be a gamble on promotion, we'd also be gambling on getting him to change his mind and sign on

If we were offered 5 million for him tomorrow I think SAFC would snap the hand right off from the bidder.
 
Because he’ll get a major pay rise and the opportunity to play premier league football?

Yeh, this. It's easy to say "we will be swapping places next season"... but there's no guarantee of that. In fact if you look objectively its probably more likely Luton or Burnley will be in the premier league next year than we will be.

Not saying all our players should drop everything for PL football. Its about finding the right time for them to make the move. I don't think the time is right for Clarke or Ballard. But Stewart could very reasonably (I think) decide he wants to test himself in the PL.
 
He's better than league one mediocrity ffs. Players like him and 09 are valuable to our squad particularly with the injuries we get.
Put in some lovely crosses last season for goals. Most noticeably our first goal of the season and one for Cirkin at West brom.

Most notably probably the only 2 assists he got all season..

Good lad to have around the squad but nowhere near good enough to start and not as effective as other options we can use on the bench. I must either be pissed too often at the match or be watching something else :emoticon-0102-bigsm

I wouldn't be that confident on that. Way too many variables. He might be closer to signing that new deal but waiting for the club to offer it again once he's fit.

These teams like Luton and Burnley after our players. **** would you want to go there for. We'll be swapping places with them at the end of the season.

The red and white specs are strong with this one :emoticon-0102-bigsm. Objectively speaking, the likelihood is we won't be getting promoted this season. Granted Luton will probably get relegated and Burnley will also struggle but the fact is these teams are in the Premier League and we're not, unfortunately. If he wants to test himself at a higher level of course he would opt for them over us

It’s a surprise we’ve not already won the Champions League with a squad of incredible players who don’t need replacing or selling to clubs in higher divisions :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Yes the specs were on! But in all seriousness I'm a huge fan of Stewart and don't want him to go, but if he does I don't want to see him at a team that, quite frankly, are just going to get battered week in week out like Luton.
