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

[samtheseagull]

He's not a Brighton fan he's not going to be too worried what we think

I didn't say he would be worried. Just feel he is letting himself down a tad.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Football moves on, players come and go. I'd like him to stay but not at any price.

I've been disappointed before when players have moved on (#Imissedkemy), and it will happen again.

Que sera sera.

Maybe he's going there on a covert mission to ensure they finish bottom next season, before rejoining us to assist with our European push the season after?

He's a plonker on twitter

I still think he will sign,and Matt Ryan will sign on loan.

As he wonders around Leeds (in any place, but Sussex) Ferrari and Ranger Rover dealerships, before booking that next holiday at a 6* hotel in Dubai, I'm pretty sure that confident Stockdale won't feel he is letting anyone down.

It's just his trade. He was in Sussex for a snippet of his life, served out his contract and helped us get promotion. Job done. Ambitious, he probably sees any of the London clubs and of course hometown Leeds as a step up, and potentially they will make him even richer.

Any annoyance should be directed at the club for not awarding him a better, longer contract say 18 months ago. But that would be unfair as the club were already losing £10m's a year, with the PL just an aspiration and so a financial balance had to be met.

A lot of our players (and it must be true of most teams) are plonkers outside of their day job. For example I didn't really like some of what I saw and heard during the seafront parade ... it's SO much better to watch players perform in the stripes rather than follow their antics off the field.

There are exceptions - Rosenior being the prime example. Clever, intelligent, thoughtful guy and the only one I bother to follow on Twitter.

he''s joining a convent ?

Why ?

 

[Dougie]

He can't be going to Palace as their fans have constantly told us that none of our players are good enough to get into their squad.
I must admit that although their fans appear to hate Hennessey, I have never considered Stockdale to be any improvement on Hennessy.

Hard to disagree with any of this .

That would be an interesting twist.

 

[perseus]

Not one of my favourite players. Except he began to be after the penalty save vs Wednesday, Up to that time, I thought Darlow (Toon) was the better keeper. And Kuszczak .

 

[ewe2]

Why ?

Having no inside information ,i just think he wants a better offer from us,maybe not financial ,but in contract length.As soon as he signs for us ,he again is worth money ,in the transfer market.OK he will get a signing on fee. With get out clauses,that still gives him options,if we get relegated,we get a fee.We need 3 keepers,Ryan on loan will allow Walton to go on loan,and maybe cover Stockdales departure in the future..........So why not !

 

[crasher]

he probably sees ... hometown Leeds as a step up

I can't believe that. He might come from Leeds, but he's not mad.

Calamity Karl Darlow ? Better than Stocko?

 

[Whitechapel]

Calamity Karl Darlow ? Better than Stocko?

Perseus is a complete and utter mentalist who I don't think I've ever agreed with.

But Darlow is at least on a par with Stockdale.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

He made it quite clear from the outset he is leaving with 'that' farewell tweet.

Good luck to him except if he goes to Palace.

Next.....

 

[Arkwright]

While I think Stockdale is off I can't see how Palace are in the frame as they are still to recruit a manager. I'm not saying it won't happen but not until Palace have sorted out the backroom staff.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

Jesus saves, and so does he, I suppose

Anyway - if he goes, he goes. It's grey in Leeds, it's cold in Leeds, and Leeds will always think Leeds is the finest town in Yorkshire, and the world, ever.

I actually have a lot of faith in the powers that be at the club. None of them are stupid - and I think we'll get to the start of the season feeling satisfied we've done some good business and picked up whoever Newcastle have missed signing.
