...and how do you know that no one knows if he's going to sign. If all you are going on is the fact that he hasn't signed yet then that's a bit naive. How do you know they are not in negotiations sat round a table discussing all that needs to be discussed. Oh I know, they didn't invite you to the discusssions, so they must be dicking about, just like they were with Bruno and Kayal etc..

And if he wants a £2 million signing on fee on top ?

Transfer news is extremely frequent in the tabloids (and, I suspect but don't know as I've never listened to it, TalkSport). They've got a lot of column inches of sports pages to fill, and that's what their readers want to read -- whether there's any substance to it doesn't really come into it.

Probably have but he's waiting for better offers more than likely.Im not fussed either way and would happily take westwood from Sheffield Wednesday
Not often l agree with you Sir, but on this occasion I actually do.

Thanks for letting me know about my naivety.
The fact remains that he is out of contract. It is within the club's power to make him an offer which is acceptable to him. I am making the wild assumption that this has not happened yet - hence he has not signed. And correct me if I'm wrong but Bruno and Kayal both signed during the season not at the end of it.
As you quite rightly point out - no one thought to invite me to the discussions (whatever form these may have taken), but my point is that the club have a top class goalkeeper here they are in danger of losing if they don't get their act together.

Hmmm not sure we should meet those demands if true.
Or if we do, we must put in a clause of a drop in wages if we go down that is a must for all players signed.

Whilst I agree with the main part of your post and hope that he signs, are there any reports or indications as to what stage or level the negotiations are at, assuming they are ongoing. If not they could well be very advanced and near completition.

You are quite right, you are making a wild assumption. Bruno and Kayal were mid-season, but did we know about the negotiations offers etc before the 'result' as announced

From the quotes post promotion attributed to Stockdale I'm pretty sure he will be with us next season.

yep also in the Sun, could be a difficult one for Stockdale if true as a lifelong Leeds fans.... but would he be ahead of Rob Green?

Casper Ankergren would be ahead of Rob Green.

Don't wait for me!
He'll only go to Leeds if it's in the same Division. He'll play there one day but not now.
Even at his peak, Ank was a nervous mistake or two waiting to happen in every game. Kuzschak and then Stockdale finally gave us quality keeping. Rob Green at this stage of his career is a solid Championship keeper.
It's probably just Leeds trying to upset one of their rivals for promotion, as we enter into the final phase of the season...
...oh hang on.
...oh hang on.
They are 'hunting us down' I think.

We should extend Stockdales contract, would cost a lot to replace a keeper of his quality.
