BHA contract offer must have been withdrawn.
BIRMINGHAM ! They are a long way even from being promotion possibilities.
Did he consider Walsall as well ? What happened to professional pride and ambition ?

31 is hardly old for a goalkeeper. Personally, I'd have wanted a year in the Premier League and see where it took me...
Does this mean Kuszczak is now available?
That ought to moisten the panties of a few unimaginative types, on here.

Says to me that DS was not going to be the Albion No 1 and if he can't be No 1 for us then who in the Prem was he going to be No 1? Therefore to play regularly, it's the championship for DS. Harry and £££ - decision made.
Well good luck to him. He did excellent work for us - both as a keeper and a team-man

Lets be honest if we wanted to keep him we would of most likely been able to (like Stephens)

I don't think we would have let him go so easily if we weren't sorted. We actually seem to be quite good at this recruitment stuff these days

Bit different. Stephens was still contracted to the Albion.

3 years @ £25k + a week = best part of £4m. Good luck to him. Clearly not what the club wanted.
No he wasn't!

Not cheaper, younger and possibly more expensive but importantly future proofed with a re-sale value.
Sometimes right, sometimes wrong but ALWAYS certain
I don't think you can look at this in isolation
You just have to look at what the Manager has done since he has come to Brighton. He has gradually improved every position at the Club, transfer window to transfer window, season by season and this transfer window and season will be no different. You have to look to the future and expect a gradual influx of better players.
Brighton is not a Club that can go out and change a team wholescale and spend Unlimited amounts of money all at once. This is a progression and everyone should be looking to the future.

Nobody has died, a player has moved on for whatever reasons be it personal or financial or whatever.
Players come and go at every club.
In CH and TB I trust.
He was my player of the year last season, but right now I'm focussed on fixtures, the new 'keeper and the striker we REALLY need.

Bizarre. What a strange old saga all round.
Good luck to him, excellent servant and will always be remembered fondly as a vital member of the promotion winning team.
I'm surprised he hasn't made a big announcement on Twitter though, I'm sure that's to come!
When are we predicting Brum go into administration then?!

Perhaps cross wires. I assumed the comparison was being made with DS this time last year when his move away was turned down.This year the Albion have fulfilled Dale's requirement of Premier League football. I'm just amazed that Stockdale would turn down even a 1 year contract in the Premier League.
Got Ya! Money talks though!
