Expected to be completed tomorrow by all accounts so where does that leave Stockdale? Surely Fulham will be keener than ever to shift him now so does this shift him back to the top of our list after we were linked with everyone but him the last couple of weeks? http://www.football-italia.net/34915/stekelenburg-set-fulham
Is he? I didnt know that. Still, cant see them wanting Stockers to remain as back-up or indeed him wanting that. I wonder if they're holding out for him to demand a transfer so he waives all rights to future payments?
I can't help feeling we might finish up signing Stockdale. I think SB is just playing a waiting game and staying quiet and there are a few red herrings being floated around.
Totally agree. With the Stekelenburg news it's clear Fulham dont see Stockdale as an option and I also feel we have been linked with other keepers - quite deliberately from our end I suspect - to show we wont be held to ransom. I still think we'll get Sotckdale for around £2m.
Well if Lesta and Fulham are going to ask for silly money for the likes of Kaspar Schmeichel and David Stockdale then lets go for the much cheaper option. Shay Given and / or Mark Schwarzer.
If this new fulham keeper is cheaper than what they are asking for David, then if I was Stockdale I would be very upset that my club was preventing me from progressing in my career and I would be having words with my agent and trying to force through a transfer
I'm not sure I'd be too happy with having Given or Schwartzer as a number 1, but I'd be happy to have them as back up. Schmeichel would be my preferred option as our starting keeper; maybe we'll have to splash out a bit to get him, but I can't see Leicester holding out for too much. Goalkeepers don't tend to fetch as much as outfield players; I'd guess that £3.5m with add ons and maybe a player exchange will be the final sum we will settle on, with Cameron Stewart as the makeweight.
According to the Guardian Liverpool want Mingolet (sorry if wrong spelling) and given the choice of us or them most keepers would choose being 1st choice at Anfield to being 1st choice with us, unless they are a Hull fan
If we get Schmeichel, in a couple of months time we will all be complaining that he flaps too much. Thats not to say he isnt a decent keeper, but most city fans seem to have him on some sort of perch these days.
What happened about us wanting forster? Hes the keeper i really want And id choose liverpool over city tbf fan or not
Only IF Liverpool lose Pepe Reina will they want a new gk. Heard that Tim Krull could be on on his way out of Newcastle. Simon Mignolet to leave mackem land and become a geordie maybe ?
