Talk of around £7m is the fee on the table from Southampton. I’d drive him down there myself if that’s true - and it’s a fair drive from Sunderland to Southampton! That seems to be guesswork from Nixon, and does seem a bit optimistic. But no doubt the market will decide! £7m rising to £10m! Wwll done Sunderland if that's true Presume Che Adams will get a pl club They still have Armstrong who scored well in this league If Southampton play like Swansea under Martin then they should be really easy to play against, press press press Can't see him lasting long What do you think we could get for him now realistically al? Alan Nixon @reluctantnicko The way fees are now … a guaranteed sum and extras … about 7 plus 3 maybe

Campbell, younger and not coming off an appalling injury I seem to remember him suffering an appalling injury and still hasn’t recovered to his previous high standards. He also doesn’t score as many goals as Stewart. I would value them at the same. That was some time ago, he's fully recovered, Stewart is a big unknown re his injury and it was a more serious injury If he does get back to what he was before then he's worth more but it's a big if atm which is why Stoke should steer clear

Indeed Given the injury that's a big gamble for normal Championship clubs whereas Southampton won't see it as a big fee Stoke should move on You lot are/were definitely interested - but it’s the right decision to walk when that’s the level of fee on offer elsewhere. Parachute payments make it not so much of a big fee for Southampton - not to mention they could sell a player for five times that amount.

Anything over 4 is madness. 10 would be understandable if he were the fittest man alive and banging them in.
Walk away now Stoke.

We shouldn't be paying anywhere near that figure for someone who still has a serious injury.
We're not that stupid are we?

We should offer £3million up front. With £1million if he scores 20 goals in a season, £1million if we get promoted during his contract and 500k if he makes 50 league appearance for us. Plus a 10 percent sell on fee.
Then we should submit the same offer twice a day every day like Andy Dufrane in the Shawshank Redemption.

It took TC ages to get over his injury.

Nobody would turn that down for a player that will be free next year surely.

That’s probably when we’ll eventually secure the Ross Stewart signing……

Well it's what Nixon is reporting so yes could be nonsense it it's true then it will be very quickly done you'd think assuming Sunderland can keep a straight face Frustrating part is there is a scenario where Stewart comes back and is fine and bangs in the goals

www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/23673997.sunderland-target-tom-cannon-set-re-join-preston-everton/SUNDERLAND’S hopes of signing Tom Cannon have suffered a blow, with the Everton striker closing in on a loan return to Preston. And the Black Cats’ attacking options could be reduced further in the next few weeks with Southampton lining up a formal move for injured striker Ross Stewart. Stewart is not expected to be fit for the start of the new Championship season as he is still recovering from the Achilles injury that kept him out of the second half of last term. However, that has not stopped him from being the subject of mounting transfer interest from a number of Sunderland’s Championship rivals. Stoke City have held discussions with the Black Cats hierarchy over Stewart, who has entered the final year of his contract on Wearside, with Middlesbrough also known to be interested in the Scotland international. It is Southampton that currently lead the chase for his services though, with Russell Martin’s overhaul of his squad at St Mary’s having gathered pace considerably over the last week. With a number of players leaving the Saints, Martin is ready to reinvest some of his club’s transfer money into the purchase of Stewart, who has scored 40 goals in 80 appearances since joining Sunderland from Ross County.

If we're entering a bidding war, it could get dragged out right until the end of the window. A bidding war with Southampton is one we won't win anyway, so we'd be better walking away now.

Doesn't he score a lot less than Stewart? he does score less than stewart , and he needs runners off him ( Ty and Brown ?) , but he is an old fashioned centre forward , to aim for , when you need an out ball and to be a threat , when you are camped in the opposition box at 0-1 down with 10 minutes to go . He is someone we don't have .

Alan Nixon @reluctantnicko Wolves, Bournemouth take lead in Adams race
Nixon suggesting Che Adams departure from Southampton getting closer, which could hasten Stewart going there if it's on the cards.

I'd give him a wide berth personally. Scored in Scotland and in league 1.
That's not enough to be splashing 5 million plus on him.
