‘Best keeper since Foster’ – Fans Weigh In On Birmingham Star Exit Rumours

|

Reports have suggested that David Stockdale will be allowed to leave the club this summer with the Yorkshire Evening Post suggesting Leeds will be his destination.

Our no.13 has two years remaining on his contract at St Andrews but he is one of the top wage earners at the club, and this may have prompted the club’s decision to sell him.

On Twitter, fans were debating whether we should be letting go a player of his quality:

Verdict:

The 32-year-old was born in Leeds so it’s not surprising that the Whites would be his likeliest destination if he does leave. However, questions remain over why we would let him depart.

He wasn’t one of our most consistent performers last season, but he is a good goalkeeper and will be difficult to replace.

At 36 years of age, his understudy Tomasz Kuszczak would not be a long-term solution, and Garry Monk will have to recruit a new number one if Stockdale is sold.
