Stockdale OFF ***to Birmingham - Official***

[BensGrandad]

You are correct............In the past he has had young Tim Krull, Fraser Foster, Jack Butland at his disposal and not gone down the Young Highly Rated keeper route. It's just not a position he tends to go for inexperience and bleeding them young. Other positions YES but not that one.

There will be an experienced keeper in goal next year, whoever that might be. Where is Tim Krull now anyhow ?That would be an option

Having watched John Ruddy at Norwich probably more times than most on here what is your view of him and do you think CH will consider him?

He was great at Motherwell and great at Norwich but he seemed to lose focus a bit recently but on the whole, a very good keeper. I think he is better keeper than Stockdale. Certainly more agile than Stockdale

Ruddy is at a good age(30) and was good in the prem for Norwich. From what I have seen in last 2 years he has looked a bit shaky tho.

He was on loan to AZ from Newcastle.

He is a real confident lad. I like Krull a lot and he does the basics well and very few errors and good penalty stopper.

Good post.

So potentially Walton will be number 2.

Krull is a great call. I really do believe we need someone with Premier League experience, never been that impressed with Ruddy who strikes me as a poor man's Rob Green (who isn't great either).

Vorm is a bit injury and error prone. Valdez would be on too higher wage.

Is David Marshall available? Otherwise it'll have to be Casper

There was a lot of fall out between players at Norwich in the last year or so and I think Ruddy was one of the ones who fell out with people and if you fall out with certain players at Norwich you are out the door. That might have affected his focus in the last year or so at Norwich.

Oh not David Marshall. You obviously don't watch Scotland matches too much

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Would Newcastle sell Krul?

Signed a new contract I believe?

Try not to [emoji6]

Like Russell Martin?

 

[samtheseagull]

Marshall was absolute class at Cardiff

 

[Icy Gull]

So, has Stockdale gone then?

You mean..........Russell Martin............I want to play at Centre half and if I don't get to play Centre Half I am taking my ball home ?

 

[BensGrandad]

Nobody knows but the general thought with his twitter utterings etc is that he is not going to sign a new contract with us.

When you are getting 20 shots at you per game, there is a good chance you will save about 15 or 16 of them and look good

 

[NooBHA]

I have no idea...............I think they will want him to stay and he possibly will

 

[Alba Badger]

Ruddy would be a good replacement, is he out of contract?

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

Yep, Norwich have already said they aren't renewing his contract.

They did go up as champions when he played for them.
