All this is not doing Stockdales reputation any favors .At the moment other key members of the squad have signed,DS after we won promotion which is understandable.Stockdale will not break the wage structure (stupid ! ) and will not get a 4 year contract.Has he been offered more money elsewhere?Then move ,fair enough.Or does the club rate him,longer term with Walton waiting in the wings?

I don't think this is damaging Stockdale's reputation at all.

This is a huge decision for him, at his age he probably won't be in a position to get such contract offers again.

I think the club will give him at least until the middle of June to decide one way or the other.

Did we learn nothing from the Dale Stephens saga?

We, as fans know nothing, we guess, we take in rumours, we look for hidden meanings in every word of the club and player, we worry over seemingly negative tweets, we believe every post on message boards from posters we've never met, who's credibility and accuracy, is debatable at best.We believe endless nonsense from websites that have less of a clue about what is going on than undiscovered tribes in the Amazonian jungle, and in the end its always guaranteed, that the club will suprise us all.
My favourite for a few years was that Stephens wanted to move back up north, when nobody, apart from a couple of bitter Charlton fans, when he came to us, had heard this. If Stockers goes ,and I hope he doesn't, but, if he goes, I can guarantee, us fans will be the last to know.

I totally agree. But there is nothing wrong in a little harmless speculation and opinion. I have absolutely no idea about the mechanisms of running a football club and one of the greatest attributes of this board is the secrecy in dealing with current players and potential transfer targets. It's fantastic to be surprised by news of new signings and contract extentions that we now little or nothing about. Long may it last.

I thought that the no interview was a deliberate ploy to not escalate any problems to cause further problems with a possible contract.

The same goes for Dunk obviously, he's clearly got his long contract but has decided to go

Stay with Albion earning £40,000 per on a two year contract, guaranteed number one.

Four year contract at Dirty Leeds on £20,000 per week, back to his roots, short trips to his parents and in-laws for servings of Tripe.

Benchwarmer at Chelsea, playing league cups, watching European football and £80,000 pw.

Ok £80,000 it is, with lots of time off counting my money.

The £40,000 isn't. PL players at clubs such as Southampton and similar earn that easily, and I was informed that that is the level of contract we will be offering generally from now on to first teamers.

Chelsea - benchwarmer Begovic earns circa £60,000 pw according to all the usual websites, a contract set under the old SkyTV era deal.

Hopefully if he's lucky that is and not one of 3 out 5 premier league players that go bankrupt and divorced within five years of retirement.

Just interjecting to say that the Chelsea story did not have any credibility.
Can't speak for palace, leeda & west ham rumours but the Chelsea interest was fabricated*

*obviously does not mean they will not be interested later in the summer. Though i seriously doubt it.

I know, I heard someone talking on the radio today mentioning they knew a current premier league player who has a room in his mansion with about 10 TVs constantly on with racing, greyhounds, football, basketball, etc and this player sits in the middle of the room at a desk on his phone to his bookmaker in Mombai.....

That's gonna end one way

Doesn't make any sense, do it all on Betfair, get better odds than any Bookmaker, and no danger of his Bookmaker doing a runner :shrug:
