Michael Stewart

[bampot1]

A relative of mine knows his dad, and seemingly he is very annoyed at only making the bench the last couple of games. he told him that mikey will look for another club in january for pre contract if he doesnt get back to the starting line up.

He has played well this season, but since boozy has been back, we have been immense in the midfield again.

[ZemmamasBarnet]

I know someone who works with his brother....she tells me naff all though.

Edit : I asked her and she told me to "Naff off, you're getting nae inside scoop oot o' me"

Don't say I didn't try

[Greenscratch]

I think Stewart has been pretty much excellent this year. He's definately a player (like deano) who needs games to get the best of him. I think there is a good chance he will head (possibly Nottingham Forest).

I didn't think he looked interested when he came on (bar the pass for Glasses' miss which cost me £250 )

The only problem I've ever had wi' Stewart is that he blows out his arse after 60mins.

JC has the pecking order right IMO. Dead certs to start are Broony, Skipper and Boozy. Hopefully guys like Stewart and Glass etc realise that our season is long and hard. Wi' injuries etc they are definately needed and will play a vital role in Hibernians quest for the treble.


So Stewart, Stay ya Radge Your minted.

Spot on with 1, 2 and 3.

He's turned around a vast majority of the Hibs support with his performances this year - he'd be a fool to leave now.

I'm a huge fan of Stewart, although he's not as flashy as Boozy his workrate is tremendous and he seems to win every ball he goes for. It's good for us that we have two such excellent players in contention for the same place but I can understand either getting frustrated at being left out. But if one or both of KT and SB are going in January it would make sense to hold onto him

If everyone is fit he is clearly not first choice but how often will everyone be available? He is an important player for us and I hope he stays.

In a way its like when you had all these fuds of England fans who knew nothing about fitba saying Owen Hargreaves was rubbish when he was in fact their best player this summer. Stewart plays in the same position and because his role is the same as Hargreaves's - basically about positioning, winning balls and one touch distribution - he similarly doesn't get as much recognition as someone who's purpose is to run 20 yards and take shots. Kids aren't going to get his name printed on the back of their shirts but we need players like that if we're going to continue to dominate the midfield. I sincerely hope he stays.

Agree, he does a lot of spadework in the engine room of that midfield (sorry, footie cliche alert) which allows the more creative players to do some damage.
He also likes to play the odd killer pass, which only comes off some of the time but when it does, clear goalscoring chance ala Glass on Sunday, even going back to our only decent chance over in Odense in the Intertattie.

He gets sh*t when it gets intercepted, but at least he has the baws to try it and rarely hides.

I defo hope he stays.

Totally agree.

He is the only player in the squad who can play the role you describe effectively.

I hope Stewart stays with Hibs. He has been absolutely tremendous this season.

I admire his ability too.

I just have the impession he has got a bit of a tip for himself.

TM got the best out of him and maybee JC just has to tell him he loves him a bit more.
Tell him hes valued a give him the odd start

If this is true then feck him he has to remember hibs took him from the scrap heap he was utterly rubbish couldnae get a game anywhere and to the credit and vision of tony and his rugged perseverence with his crap performances he's turned him into comandanding a first team start and playing that well for him to get recognised for an international call up he owes us and if that is his attitude to tell him where to stick it effin jambo

if however this is not the case good old mickey stewart used to be a jambo but he's alright now stick in son:YAYYY: :YAYYY: :YAYYY: :YAYYY:

He's been a sub once (sunday) and he had just came back from injury.

[BoomtownHibeys]

Hes no been left out the last couple of games though??? He was out injured against Motherwell so only been on the bench on Sunday so i think the rumour might be alot of bollocks imo

[Purple & Green]

i thought he was returning from injury too - he got a dull one against the scumbos.

he'd be in my first choice midfield every time, not least because he doesnae pick up silly yellows n reds at the same rate as some of his colleagues. best workrate too imho

[GloryGlory]

If he goes bring back Rocky:YAYYY: Been a while since the last we could get Rocastle back thread

[BigBadBouncer]

I still think the best midfield in the last three years was when Rocastle was in it, him and Boozy were different class in that midfield during Mowbrays first season.

[Jones5God]

Stewarts Too Good To Leave Out

Work Rate Is Tremendous!

[|17|sproule|17|]

i would be happy if Stewart left we are better of with out him and bring in a more talented players

They were brilliant together. Its hard to belive how Rockys career has gone since he was here.

[Alan in Dublin]

Michael got injured against Inverness, struggled with fitness to play for the Scotland B team midweek before the Motherwell game,but he desperately wanted to play for Scotland B,and on this seasons form for Hibs deservedly so. It's unfortunate for him that Boozys return to the midfield against Motherwell with a magic performance kept him out against the soapdodgers.
