This is so obvious, but just hadnt realised. Rossco will be signing a new deal of some sort in the next 10 days to enable the club to trigger the extra 12 month extension, which is entirely at our discretion (not the player).

No way the club isn't doing this, as we need to protect Stewart as an asset, and also stopping him signing for a non-English club on 1st Jan. (eg, Rangers)

So there has to be an agreement announced between now and 31st Dec.

He ain't going to Boro I told RTG 3 month ago the 2 clubs who would buy him.
Rangers are 1st in queue If they sell Morelles, and Everton 2nd with Simms as px at £2 million.
Both told £10mill is asking price.
It's all down to our ambition or lack of it.
He wants wages way outside our pay grade.
So if we do have ambition we have to pay for it.
Or Speakman gets his way and we become a selling club.
With the exception of a very small handful every club is a selling club.
 
Wonder if we have any loans lined up for early Jan. Only have 2 dont we? We have a good reputation in developing loan players and clubs trust us. Mowbray is also apparently trusted by big clubs with young talent. Wonder if we use this for another 2 to bolster gaps. Would be a way to plug the Embleton gap maybe.

Completely ignoring the fact that even if he signs a pre-contract agreement with e.g. Rangers, SAFC can still trigger the extension and that rips up the pre-contract agreement.

that would reflect utter incompetence from the club
 
Assume this translates as we are in for a 19yr old Chilean striker
