Well, in my opinion, he wouldn't be first choice at Arsenal, City(my guess), United or Liverpool yet. Maybe in one season.
I could see him being loan back out.
I could also be completely wrong

Cannot sign until 1st June or possibly even July I think it is but could sign a pre contract agreement
Pre-contract agreements aren't uncommon are they?
Quick lazy search: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...nley-s-Danny-Ings-pre-contract-agreement.html
Nobody has mentioned the fact that Sam Baldock missed a sitter to put us 2-0 up which would have won us the game !
Probably. Neither of those examples in that article (Ings from Burnley - Liverpool / Smalling from Fulham - United) are comparable though. The situation they are illustrating is not one of an out of contract player leaving a club, but one of a mutually beneficial situation to TWO clubs acting together.
THAT was THE moment in my opinion. I think Murray for the under-hit simple pass was probably more culpable than Baldock himself, though.

Quite. Or the three or four excellent saves their keeper pulled off.
Bad example then, but there's plenty of content relating to soon-to-be out-of-contract players being able to make a pre-contract agreement up to 6 months before his contract ends, such as:
"The advent of the transfer window and the Bosman ruling in 1995, which enables players to agree to join a new club six months before the player’s contract with his present club is due to expire, has meant that pre-contracts between clubs and players have become increasingly common. Pre-contracts come in many different forms but generally speaking, it is an agreement providing for the player to join the club on a future date."

Dont disagree , but equally to blame as much as Stockdale. . We had it in our hands yesterday qui sera !
I was one of those who had doubts about Stockdale when he first came but he has been superb this season and got my POY vote.
It's a great shame that the possible error he made yesterday will always be remembered by some as the reason we didn't win the title, but he was tremendous yesterday and certainly kept us well in the game. It 's almost inevitable that when a 'keeper makes a mistake it will result in a goal, it's something which goes with the job and what makes them special types of people.
Yet at the other end of the field a missed opportunity is quickly forgotten, I refer to Sam Baldocks miss, or maybe the Glen Murray missed header both of which would have rendered the Stockdale alleged mistake irrelevant but no mention here.
We had three great opportunities to win the league, please don't put all the blame on this one mad, he is a legend and should be remembered as such.
We are Premier League, we are Premier League....don't forget it
Edit: took my time writing that obviously

Slightly off topic and not worth another thread but yesterday Lansbury went up in my estimation by a smidgeon (albeit from a low base).a disconsolate Stockdale was for some time prone on the ground at full time yesterday no Brighton player near him and yet he with the various hair do's took the trouble to walk half the pitch to put his arm around him

Think the positives do outweigh the negatives with Stocky,even if he does day-dream sometimes.

Don't wait for me!
We'll have Danny Ward if Huddersfield don't go up.

Had the Murray Baldock set up have been the other way around with Baldock passing GM would have just leathered it at the goal but that is what makes football what it is.

Chelski could be offering this length of contract as part of being no 2 goalie.
We are probably looking at Walton within that time period.
Which maybe is why we will not match.
Stockdale also lives in Surrey so no commute to Chelski training.

As no 2 if both DS and NM do not sign new contracts.

Yep. He would have been on life changing money before he was here as well I would guess. If one of the top clubs can pay him £100k a week for sitting on the bench it won't change the kind of offer we can make. In any case if he did go I reckon Maenpaa would be the walk in replacement.

Maenpaa is also out of contract so may not still be here.
