Yep, maybe he's in it to provide the best possible future for himself and his family. Plus he'll get to work with some of the best players in the world.

Nah NSC has told me he's not all that and we will have a wealth of options that will make our team WAY better.

If Stockdale leaves its with my blessing, he probably wants a 4 year deal, we probably have offered 2, maybe give 3 years with an option??, I expect our offer is more than £20K a week, and who knows what Chelsea would offer

thats another thing... Chelsea have a policy of 1 year only deals for over 30yo.
But we're always being told that footballers aren't happy unless they're playing every week.

Lets hope that is the truth, can't understand why anyone would pass up playing regularly just to earn a bit of extra cash.
Chelsea's number 2 plays an average of about 20 games a year. So- yes.

Cant believe B'muff still have six first teamers who were with them in League 1. They really have done well.

It's not just "a bit of extra cash" though, is it. In Stockdale's case, if he did join Chelsea, he'd likely treble his salary, sure he'd play less games but he'd probably get a few Champions League appearances and a far greater chance to pick up some silverware. I wouldn't hold it against him if he did leave.

Tbf it probably has dawned on him just what he'll be facing next season....can't blame him for getting while his 'stock' is relatively high.

There is the signing on fee to consider too. Guess, but that alone could be a £1m plus the salary increase. Likely to be the last big money contract he will sign too. Tough to walk away from that even for an extra 20 games a season. I dread to think what Bournemouth must be offering Begovic to go there? He would've been an upgrade on Stockdale but no way we could've sanctioned that sort of outlay on a goalie 1st season in the PL. Surprised Everton haven't gone in for him or even Arsenal, let alone 'plucky' little Bournemouth...

Why aren't they spending money at the least in putting a second tier into their main stand?
They're looking to relocate so would be money wasted on current stadium expansion.

It's owned by Structadene rather than the council, so it will be their problem. I hope that they are left with a very expensive piece of land that they can't rent out to anyone.
