Not seen such Bravery!
Maybe when the 25 man squad is re-nominated in January, but almost certainly at least a half-season loan until new year just to get a few more games

I posted a link to the club site, showing Maenpaa's signature, last year, was 14th June, so at least another two weeks.

Those saying they don't care about DS and think we can get far better will be the same people moaning at our transfers IN when we've had to spend a chunk on a decent goalkeeper to replace him. If he goes, that's one more position we have to fill, and less money to go on Premier League quality in the squad where it is badly needed to stay up.

If he signs, I am sure he will be given a chunk anyway, in a signing on fee, just like Stephens.
I really hope he stays.

Sounds like Walton has been told of his plans for next season.

If he thought that he would have offered Stockdale the 4 years he wants.

I'm sure TB and his team have it all in hand either way. There's no suggestion they've fallen out with Stockdale, so he wouldn't do
'a Sol Campbell' and trick his current club that he's staying (wasting vital time for us), before dropping the bombshell that he's off.

4 years of say £40k a week is too much of a gamble in this case and for Stockdale. We might be relegated next year, his form may dip for good (he wasnt always so good as he has been the last 18 months) and what will his form be like in say 3 years time?

Good keeper. Very little in it, I'd suggest.

TB will sort it one way or the other but have to disagree with you. Stockers has brilliant for the last two seasons and I see no reason to believe he won't continue to be. There aren't many keepers available better tbh!

How do we know he wants 4 years? The original rumours on here was that he wanted 2 years, and was only offered 1.

Well if we went to Germany or Spain or France I'm sure we'd find better in no time....He seems to make some really stupid errors numerous times and next season he will have many superb crosses and players shooting accurately unlike last season.Care to share the names of these "far better" keepers that we could sign if Stockdale leaves? I think you might struggle
We will obviously get by and we might sign an excellent keeper but I doubt that he will be "far better" otherwise we would have released Stockdale and done it..
We'll see if he stays but would prefer a better keeper

I'm no great lover of Stockdale either, but to say that if we looked on the continent we could find better in no time, is lunacy.

Really?
Stockdale has mistakes in him and the pressure on him will double next season.....Goalkeepers are the easiest to find in my opinion and cost the least.

Stockdale isn't the greatest, but he is far from the worst. He won't be replaced that easily and that quickly.

Well I guess he has the right to decide what he wants to do, but I agree that some sort of timesacle needs to be put on it, to give us the time to find a capable replacement.
