Summer window

As long as we get decent replacement(s).

 

I don't think anyone is talking down his value, more being realistic with the injury and contract. If the lad wants to leave, which is pretty obvious to me that he does, there's not much we can do to stop that so we either get nothing when his contract ends or as much as we can now...which realistically isn't going to be a lot unless we have the balls to stick to our guns and demand a high value...I really hope that happens but I just can't see it.

I'll be gutted when he leaves, if he recovers to the same level as before the injury he will be the best striker in this league. And I'm including all the new big signings that teams have been making.

I just want an end to it as its becoming a distraction.

 

To play for Sunderland these days your heart has to be in it.

His isn't imo.

Would people be excited if we were trying to sign a player with a poor recent injury record who's refused to sign a contract for over a year ..

... some would be reaching for the pitchforks

 

I'd like to add that if I was in charge I'd be setting one value for the player if he is going to a Championship rival, and another slightly lower one for say Rangers or a premier league team. And I'd stick to it no matter what.

But I know thats not how it works

 

Ok as you say Stewart is definitely away I know we’ve managed since January without him but what have you heard numbers wise we looking to bring in if you don’t mind me asking

 

Just been on Sky… Soton just made 2nd bid of 6.5 m plus add one… no where near enough imo

 

Situation plays a big part, anywhere near 10 is amazing

 

Trying to bully us, Christ I hope KLD and Speakman stick to their guns and have a minimum value of way more than that.

 

It's getting closer I'd say. £8m plus add-ons for a lad with 2 major injuries of late wouldn't be terrible business and the 1st significant sale of the "model"

 

That’s the bare minimum we should accept

 

Lets roll to 10.50pm on Friday for a real offer.

 

To be fair to the lad, we have no idea of he wants to stay or not.

 

Doesn't want to be here, so quite frankly, I'd be happy with nothing, just to get him away from the club. If he's not happy pulling our shirt on, then I don't want him, simple as really.

As it turns out, I think if we do get £8m for him, that's great business for someone who's been out for 8 month with an injury most players don't come back from and nothing to say he'll be one of the lucky ones.

He's also in the last year of his contract, and probably out for another month.

We almost got promoted last year without him even really playing. We do not need him.

Take the money, reinvest it. No player is bigger than our club.

 

Thing is Southampton want him with just a few days of the window left we need to be doing a will grigg on them for the fact I'm sure we don't need to sell him he's not on silly wages at the minute, whether he wants to be here or not if we keep him I'm sure he will be professional enough to put the effort in, at the end of the day if he's leaving on a free at the end of the season he needs the best deal of his career.
If he's going to go let's hope we dig our heals in and get what he's really worth fully fit

 

I’m sorry but Ross Stewart can get ****ed if he doesn’t want to be here, as can anyone else.

If we get anywhere near 10m then the club have done a brilliant job.

I just hope they a) get the right replacement and b) have someone lined up to get it done in time.

 

I think most people will appreciate we're not actively trying to sell him ...

... at least we're no longer having to pay people a fortune to leave

 

Is this because thingies auntie the cleaner was too busy texting during the visit?

 

Only if we have a replacement through the door by that stage

 

I don’t mind selling Stewart now as long as we find a suitable replacement, I wish this was done earlier in the season
