sephjnr Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 courtesy of Onesunderland.com: Mick McCarthy praised Marcus Stewart after his goal in last night's 2-1 friendly win over Barnsley. However, while he heaped plaudits on the former Ipswich striker for his fitness, McCarthy stopped short of saying that Stewart wasn't for sale, following speculation that Bristol City are interested in signing him. Speaking to the PFA's website after the game, McCarthy said: "There has been speculation (about Stewart's future) but it has not affected my relationship with him. He has responded very well and just got on with it. He scored against Barnsley and looked very fit." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gow Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 courtesy of Onesunderland.com: ← I would love to see Stewart come here he is quality but how many strikers do we need at this club? and besides i thought Tinman wanted a target man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flannel_Dave Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 It just isn't going to happen! He was bought for about £3million and would be on massive wages, Lansdown more or less ruled it out before anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Ian M Posted July 27, 2004 Admin Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 LAnsdown has ruled it out why are people so obsessed with him!! Its like the Richie Wellens situation ← I wouldn't say "ruled out" more like "poured cold water on it" Steve Lansdown told bcfc.co.uk today: "We were approached by Marcus's agent about whether we might be interested in signing him and the answer had to be yes. "I spoke to Brian Tinnion about him and he is a player we would like in our squad. But it is already clear that the financial implications make the signing unlikely. "Even if Sunderland agree to let him go for nothing, our wage structure bears no comparison. Marcus may want to return to Bristol, but it would need to be on our terms and as things stand I can't see it happening. "Having said that, we will be keeping tabs on his situation when Brian gets back from holiday next week."

The Casual Connoisseur Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I think if we win promotion this season we will need Marcus more than we do now. Maybe as a true City fan he would pen to paper next season and we might be able to pay his wages. I would love to see a true boyhood city fan put the red shirt on.
