Hope a reasonable fee would be payable

He's one of the few players that actually cared last year, I'd rather he stayed but if we can get a decent amount for him And get a youngster I'd be fine with it

Stead is a player you could build a team around. 100% commitment. I'd imagine JS will be anxious to hold onto him. If he does go, we should bring in 2 to replace him, the beast being one........

@Dripsey3 You cannot be serious about the beast..... we need a quality goal scorer with pace. Idle can be shown the door as well

Surely this would be down to economics, (his ability is there for all to see) he aint here for tupppence and if JS feels that he could replace him adequately for cheaper then he might be on his way

I would imagine a nominal fee around £20,000 

@Northants Pie fee reduces to £10k if Idle is included as part of the deal

Stead would be good to keep but to be honest wouldn't lose any sleep if he went and defo nooooo to the beast , could add personality to the dressing room but no thanks

The Beast is a back up option. A player who gives you something different from the bench. Wimbledon used him very effectively. Look at what he gave them off the bench. He changed the course of a fair few games when he came on. He'll give everything in the time he is given, better than someone who will come on and go through the motions. 

 

If he stays, we can appoint him manager after we sack John Sheridan. Won't even need a new tracksuit.

Is the reduction due to the cost of those special boots that can make him stand up long enough for people to realise that he does, contrary to popular belief spend less time on his back than a £5 a go hooker...

Stead is a good player, but he's on the wrong side of 30 - his ability is declining, his touch/control isn't the best and his pace is going quicker than biscuits around Meadow Lane.

I wouldn't be overly bothered if he left.

If he stayed, I would but happy but I hope we sign a quality young striker who can offer us more and perhaps learn off Stead. Just keep McLeod away from anyone learning, we don't need a master of deception or diving.

i would like him to stay but if he goes i would not cry over it, there are better strikers out there who can get goals and run at the defence. he is a good squad player tho

JS wants him to stay and will play a part , that's ok with me , hopefully some good additions will bring more out of him to .

I'd hope stead could be a good mentor for young Montel Gibson, gibbo looks talented already but steads experience would help him massively
