Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

[BBassic]

When was this abuse?

Just check out Twitter over the last few days. Maybe abuse is too strong a word but some of our fans on there really didn't paint themselves in a good light.

 

[Da Man Clay]

I wonder how long after the new keeper will be confirmed.

 

[Joshski]

Ffs this has ruined my day! I suppose no player is bigger than the club, hopefully we sign this highly rated Aussie keeper in the next few days.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I bet his wages & signing on fee are huge & a bulging back pocket thanks to Harry.

To be honest. He did a great job for us. Thanks Dave. But he's probably not quite premier league standard & he knows it. The additional analysis and scrutiny they get - he'd get slaughtered.

One of our best though. Onward & upward

Well, he was easily Premier League standard when he played in the Premier League and was called into the England squad. Barmy choice, and a real kick in the nuts for Leeds, I'd think.

 

[Wilko]

My thoughts exactly on the England role. If Tom Heaton can be in the squad then that is a realistic target for Stockdale, especially with a world cup on the horizon.

Only takes an injury or two and he could have been 3rd choice keeper for England if he was playing regularly for us in the PL.

 

[WhingForPresident]

What an absolute idiot, will live to regret this decision I am sure. His options were-

* Chelsea number 2
* PL with Brighton
* Go to his boyhood club Leeds to see out his career

He chooses Brum who just stayed up on the last day, shit city and in the Championship. Even if they are throwing $$$ at him it is still career suicide. The VERY BEST he could achieve in the next year is to be in exactly the same position he is right now. Ridiculous decision.

And if moneybags Brum somehow do get promoted, they will DEFINITELY stick with a keeper turning 33 that has one season of top-flight experience (in which he was relegated).

Bonkers.

Birmingham?? F***ing hell.

Whatever happened to that "family comes first" tweet? They must be paying fortunes because I am currently spending a huge amount of time working there and can confirm it's still a shithole

Money talks

Bullshit walks

 

[wellquickwoody]

Then of course there's the absolute dogs abuse aimed at him and his f**king family on Twitter.

If you can't stand the heat etc...........

 

[Mayonaise]

Completely Baffling!

Just logging on to note my surprise at this.

Why did he want to leave? Seems odd that he would spend the last few seasons with you guys fighting to get to the Premier League, and when he's finally achieved it he drops back down?

<<checks calendar....nope its not April 1st ..well who predicted that one..my twitter feed is going to be 90% less active

Reading a few bits randomly over several weeks and some of the stuff being said was disgraceful and you can see how it might help provide enough influence someone towards go rather than stay

I wish him well but i'm disappointed that he isn't staying and playing for us next season in the PL as i hoped he would

Very much this. At least he'll get a localish derby match with Burton Albion out of it, not forgetting Villa.

Money. There is not one single other logical explanation at all.

He didn't want to leave. We just couldn't agree terms, plus we have a top keeper about to sign.

Who knows, just surprised it's Birmingham.

 

[Bobby's Gull]

Good luck to him .....

 

[Guinness Boy]

He doesn't have to live there though. Could live half way between Brum and Leeds so easier for his family.

Disappointed he's gone but wish him well.

He has to work there though. That's bad enough. Trust me.
