Stockdale to Chelsea?

Silly old bat
That article reads as though it's for the summer.

I agree we should have offered him a new contract by now.

It's basically a bench-filling role for Chelsea, isn't it, apart from the occasional run out in cup matches. We'd all question why somebody would want to go and sit on a bench every week. But he's 30 odd now, and would be set up for life with whatever they'd determine is an appropriate wage. I honestly couldn't blame him for wanting it.

Equally, I'd be absolutely gutted if he did go now- not sure the club would allow him to go (especially if Mäenpaä is out for a while :ohmy:). I hope he doesn't resent that- if there is any truth in the rumours anyway.

Pretty ridiculous that we don't have him signed up.

I (might be wrong) cannot recall anything about contract talks at any stage..

£10m + Costa sorted

However maybe Stockdale would prefer to actually play in the PL as opposed to being paid to watch.

Shock horror other (wealthier) teams might want to acquire players from the sitting at the team top of the championship...

Brighton factually.....
I hope he is not tempted to sit on the bench at chelski, I thought he was one of us. However he has his future to think of and money speaks. I am more concerned that the best goal keeper I have seen at the Albion contract has not been extended before now. If the wheels come off this season we are totally fecked next season and could go down, because that's the type of club we are....

Never a dull moment.

Please stay Stockdale

He only lives round the corner from Cobham. Treble the money, easier commute, last big pay day ?

The problem is there is literally no upside for a player to sign a contract with us now
