Dale Stephens signs 4 year contract

[Giraffe]

Too true. It emphasises how unprofessional Bridcutt and Buckley were in the same position.

Exactly this. Well done Dale, and Chris. I have a suspicion had Chris been manager at the time Bridders wouldn't have been going anywhere.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Amazing news! I was sure he was off regardless of promotion!

Fantastic first signing of the summer, well done Dale and the club.

 

[Iggle Piggle]

Excellent stuff.

 

[WGull]

Fantastic news, perfect start to preparations for next year

 

[pasty]

This is a brilliant piece of news. We were looking at 10 million to replace him.

Absolutely. Stephens signing is a double win. More £'s stay in the kitty to be used for others

How much you reckon he's on? I'd go for £25-30k per week based on pure guess work.

£6m value of his contract if so. Worth every penny.

 

[The Large One]

Tony Bloom putting a potential £8m on the table in August in order to keep Dale Stephens has paid off.

DO NOT take on the Lizard.

I've seen some comments on here about people being over our Sunday disappointment by tea time etc. I'm a little more fragile than that. This, however, has proper cheered me up.

Can it really be true though, as I remember posters saying he'd definitely be leaving.

 

[Bold Seagull]

But will Dale keep his place ahead of Yaya Toure?

 

[Pavilionaire]

Great news, in fact best news since we got promoted!

 

[Magic Sponge]

Brilliant news I had thought he was off....until I heard him join in with the " Dale Stephens we want you to stay" song with Dunk and Knocky and all the Albion fans in Brighton after the Wigan game.

Fantastic news. We can now sing:

He's decided to stay,
He's decided to stay,
Dale Stephens,
He's decided to stay.

£6m value of his contract if so. Worth every penny.

Well given that I believe we now have 2 players on £40k plus p/w (Dunk & Knockaert), I imagine he's on at least that.

Fantastic news though. Emphasises how important it was that Bloom played hard ball with Burnley.

get innnnnnnnnnnn
best news since ...............ermm two weeks ago

now all I want is Stockers to follow on

 

[ManOfSussex]

Serious hard poker face playing by Uncle Tony last summer. This has cheered me up no end.

 

[Whoislloydy]

If Stockers goes at least we can tweek his song to fit Stephens.

Duh Duh Duh Duh Dale Stephens

 

[Triggaaar]

Thank goodness, we can afford to lose DS alot more than we can afford to lose Dale.

Are you high? How can we afford to lose Dale Stephens more than we can afford to lose Dale Stephens?

 

[Clive Walker]

great bit of early business. shows intent and gets the housekeeping sorted before the shopping season starts.

I understand he had an offer from mid Prem team of @£35k a week in January window but I don't think he liked Tom Jones theme tune being sung........

Don't build your hopes up. Let's not forget that Stockade was giving the double handed wave at Villa Park.

 

[Triggaaar]

Great news I was always hopeful that he will sign and at least if Dyche comes back in for him it will double his value and fee.

Double his value? If Dyche had come in for him this summer, we'd have got nothing, as he was out of contract - so you now think we'd get double nothing?

Also, he wouldn't have just signed a contract while still thinking of possibly going to Burnley. He's not going, get used to it.
