[Albion] David Stockdale

Albumen · Jul 19, 2014

Done a little research:
1) Twitter - He's 'had a little strain' this week. Talked about being on the last year of his contract.
2) Mail interview last year - he seemed a little peeved that Fulham didn't give him the chance to be no.1.

Judging by Hagenland's(sp) recent comments regarding Fulham's current boss and his negative impact on their dressing room, Stockdale may well be interested in a move away from Craven Cottage.

It's not about being cocky or otherwise. I just don't think TK was good enough second half of last season. We can do better.

Plus he didn't want to be here did he?

I'd rather Stockdale over Henderson ... trouble is Henderson is a free agent

Good keeper but I doubt there's anything in it, How would the Sun newspaper know who we are going to bid for and how much considering all our dealings are kept very secret?

Probably the same way the story about Sammy Lee not joining us broke in the Sun. Might be a shit newspaper, but as far as football goes, they seem to get a lot right.

From the Fulham forum:

Is Stockdale off to Brighton?

Couple of recent posts from the thread...

Spoke to him and the game, and it sounds like he's going. He said something along the lines of if the club want to sell him he doesn't have a choice. Sounds like we've accepted a bid

Yep I heard someone ask him if he will stay and he said 'it's not up to me' and someone else asked him if he will be Fulham's no1 this season and he replied 'don't know'.
Doesn't sound good especially as the two keepers that played today didn't inspire me with confidence.

He'll probably sign for Forest Bladders

What's the point of spending £1m on a keeper when we could have just kept hold of the last one?

If the rumours are true he had to leave as was a naughty boy

I don't believe those rumours at all. Having seen the dynamics at close quarters it doesn't make any sense to be honest

He would have signed a contract if he had been offered one. They loved it down here

El Turi · Jul 19, 2014

I didn't think Stockdale would be a realistic target but it's sounding quite hopeful from the posts on the Fulham board.

Crawley had a trialist in the Fulham game named Bobson Bawling, according to the Argus.

Magnificent name.

This would be an outstanding signing if we could pull it off. Definite upgrade from an already very decent keeper.

You know that how exactly?

If he'd wanted to he would have made it clear that's what he wanted and would have started negotiations with the club long before his contract ran out.

He did not look happy for the last few months and his form reflected his mood.

1m for a keeper of Stockdales quality and age would be a bargain. I'm more than happy for us to be spending money in that position. The spine of the side is vital to our success. With the players that have gone this summer I think spending money on a keeper, centre back, central midfielder and striker is minimum we should be doing.

Simple and spot-on.

I think Tim knows TK to speak to, so I'm assuming it's come from some sort of personal conversation. That said, what TK tells people and what he privately thinks aren't necessarily the same thing.

And Bwian: the Albion have said on many occasions, they don't tend to do contract negotiations mid season (unless it's an early-Bridcutt sort of scenario where a gem has been discovered and needs to be tied down, pronto). So I doubt TK would have started negotiating ages ago, simply because it's not how the club seem to work.

edna krabappel · Jul 19, 2014

Oh and re Stockdale: I'd love him to come but I can't help feeling a million quid won't get him anywhere near here, so it depends how much the Albion value his services, if they are indeed interested.
