    Stewart is away. Opinion not fact.
    Hope we get some decent cash for him, that aside not too bothered anymore.

    Good. It needs an end point putting on it so he signs or both parties move on.

    I don’t want to sound like I’m skating the bloke because he is tremendous when fully fit, but there is not guarantee he is the same player after and injury like that

    Biggest mistake ever them not signing before. The injury changes it all. I hope he signs and is back to his best to be honest. He is great. Just not sure it's possible.

    The Rosco situation makes me sad tbh.

    A lad who is a hero here playing in front of massive crowds for a club on the up. I know thats my fan sentiment talking but hes not going to end up anywhere bigger than here.

    It's a strange one.
    I would love him to stay, but at the same time not too fussed if he went.
    We missed his goals, but (imo) were a better side without him....played better football I mean.
    If he doesn't want to sign a contact, goodbye, and good luck.

    I can see where you're coming from and personally I wouldn't be surprised if something in that description happened, but I doubt very much it would be JCH. It's come from Peterborough fans that his reputation of having a bad attitude and only playing when he feels like it. Apparently he doesn't offer much more than goals and the team has to be set up to play to his strengths for him to be effective. His strike rate in the championship is 21 goals in 98 matches, 12 of those is his last championship season (41 league games), which isn't exactly prolific, though I accept that his earlier championship days were close to the start of his career and the last championship season was with a poor Peterborough team. Even so, he seems more adapted to being a consistent league one striker, rather than someone ready to step up. Regarding being picked regularly by Peterborough, well they did the same with Marcus Madison and Chris Maguire was a regular for us most of his time here until Lee Johnson pushed him out and got rid. Being selected regularly doesn't mean that they don't have poor attitudes.

    I really can't seem him being on any of our lists as a transfer target, he might have been in the past before Speakman and KLD, but not now. I could see someone similar, like Teemu Puku or a younger version of Dwight Gayle being a possibility, someone with upper championship/lower Premiership experience, but not someone who's played most of his career in the third tier who's probably now at the peak of their career and unlikely to improve.

    Interesting, does Man U remain patient and keep the lad around with his injury or allow him to go back on loan. It’s true to say he hasn’t set the world alight for Man U fans in the preseason I think.

    You're spot on about JCH btw. Live in Peterborough and the way their fans talk about him, wouldn't have him anywhere near the place. In regards to him on the field they say he's a bit of a flat track bully in that he only turns it on when he fancies it, bit like Lukaku used to be. Look at his performance in the second leg of their play off with Sheffield Wednesday, when the chips were down and they were under severe pressure he went missing, didn't want to know.

    They might technically loan him, but with an asset of that value they’ll provide the medical services to get him right.

    Agreed. No player is bigger than the club and we did just fine without him last season

    It's a shame like as I fully believe the contract would have been signed if his Achilles didn't rupture. That mixed with some bad advice has got us into this place now.

    Expect him to leave unfortunately.

    Alan "I know sweet FA" Nixon has said Southampton are favourites to sign Stewart now.

    You could argue that we missed him more in defence once we lost the height of Ballard, Batth etc, and as an 'out' to mix up the play. We scored goals without him and rarely failed to find the net.

    I don't think his height was a big factor in his scoring and we didn't use to fire in too many crosses ...

    ... I've noticed Pritchard appears to be looking for it more now with Hemir.
