[Albion] What has happened to Walton, Lua Lua and Stockdale?

Dan Gleeballs · Nov 6, 2017

I certainly don't miss Rohan Ince's song. Worst song the fans ever came up with

I wanna tell you, I might as well do about a boy who could do anything. He came from Chelsea to play for Brighton, Rohan Ince Rohan Ince Rohan Ince...

It all makes Stockdale's decision to leave seem even more bizarre than at the time.

I guess he would never have believed that Brighton would be 8th in the top flight, and Birmingham would be struggling in the championship at this stage in the season when he made his decision to leave.

He might not have believed we would be 8th but I'd be pretty sure he would have had confidence that we would do some fairly decent transfer business and make a decent fist of it

Why he would have imagined the Brum wouldn't be in another relegation fight is bewildering. Surely he wasn't daft enough to fall for Arry's flannel?

Stockdale was always on the way out as he knew the club wanted better...

How is Richie Towell getting on at Rotherham?

Has he decided to prolong his football career or has he......?

Stockdale probably made the correct decision for his family. 3 year contract at Brum or 1 year with us. No brainer really, he made the right decision in my eyes

Saw him play against Scunthorpe, starts every week and looks a very tidy player in that division, almost scored a screamer. Think he’s found his level.

Ineffective. Warne has taken him off a few times, which says summink cos he really liked him, and he was finally dropped on Satdi. Apparently Barker wanted to end his loan after three weeks.

What happened to that angular Italian we signed? Schelotto?

The Schelotto who was on the bench at Swansea on Saturday?

On KLL, I found this snippet on a QPR forum, from a report from him playing for QPR U23's at the end of last month.
Hope he can get back into contention for their first team.

Kazenga Lua Lua played for the U23s on Friday, spending the majority of the game falling over and miscontrolling the ball into touch, so he won’t feature

I read a bit of the QPR thread and came across this mention on players out at Bolton.
'Bolton have Will Buckley (hamstring)'
Rings a bell.

Think this is it, plus I think the club told him they were expecting to strengthen and he wouldn’t be automatic no 1 choice. All things combined can totally see why he left.

Stockdale has been dropped in the managerial merry go round at the blues, plus he looked very much out of shape compared to when he was with us this season. Sad really.

Not sure about the other two.

Always had weight control issues. One of the reasons why the BHA management decided that a more athletic keeper was needed at PL level. Forster is similar. Too heavy at present and lacking that split second reaction time.

Wow... that's a surprise! Never seemed the sort, but I guess maybe frustration at his current situation, or thinking about what could have been if he hadn't jumped ship...

Needs to prepare himself for Div 1 football next season.

Oh yes he was!
The old snake-oil salesman can charm birds from the trees. He was telling the world and his mother that Brum were good enough for top six and the right investment could lead to promotion. He got the right investment. A £2m pay-off after 11 games.

Walton was doing very well at Wigan and had kept several clean sheets before breaking his leg in training. Big shame that

Not sure about the others but Ince came on as a sub for Bury on Sunday. From Brightons answer to Yaya Tour, in some peoples eyes, to the bench for Bury although in fairness it may have been a tactical decision as it was a cup tie.against a non league side.(Woking)

Harsh, started well at Bury, but struggling for form on a poor team (apparently).

Also had one very good season with us and rumoured to have been ‘watched’ by bigger teams, so not quite as poor as you suggest.

This.

Not playing very well, have a friend who has watched him a couple of times.
