davieG Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 I thought he looked a bit shaky against Leeds From the Merc: David Stockdale says he has so enjoyed his time at Leicester City that he would be "back in a shot" next season if the chance arose to return to the Walkers Stadium. And that looks like an option which manager Nigel Pearson is considering after loan signing Stockdale revealed there have already been talks between City and his current club, Premier League Fulham. The 24-year-old keeper said: "I might come back here next season for a bit more. "It would be a nice option and I would be back in a shot. I'd certainly never say no to returning and it's being discussed between the two clubs, which is a nice thing." Stockdale says he is even planning his own promotion party 24 hours after City receive the League One trophy following tomorrow night's final home game against S****horpe at the Walkers Stadium (7.45). TIN.adverts.addToArray('article-detail-impact-tile', 'AAMSZ=452x118/POS='); "I'll be going home to Leeds and there will be a celebration with my family and friends because that is how much it has meant to me to be involved at Leicester," he said. "I went back there after we'd beaten Leeds on Easter Monday and walked into my local with my Leicester tracksuit on. "My mates tried to rip it off me but it wasn't coming off and it wasn't long before they were buying me a beer." Stockdale, who reached the League Two play-offs with Darlington and won an England C cap while at York City, expects City to set up the trophy celebrations with victory over S****horpe in front of more than 30,000 supporters. He said: "The lads might relax a bit, but we'll win because we have the quality. It's important for me that I keep my standards high. "Fulham are watching me and will want to see how I react to the situation now that Leicester are going up. "I'll then go back to Fulham after Leicester's last game at Crewe and, you never know, I might even get a chance in their last match." Stockdale said he was happy to take a back seat as City celebrated last weekend's title-clinching win at Southend after making just three starts – but manager Pearson had other ideas. He said: "I took a little step back during the celebrations, but the gaffer said: 'Get in there and enjoy it, you've played your part' so I was jumping up and down at the end." Stockdale had been recalled for the match at Hereford United on April 11 after recovering from a shoulder injury picked up at Tranmere a month earlier. He said: "Tony (Warner) was put in there because I was injured and then when I was fit I couldn't get in, so I went to see the gaffer (Pearson). "I think he got fed up with me, because every time I saw him I asked him if I could play. "He then changed it at Hereford and I thought this is my chance. I think I've taken it, with three wins and one goal conceded. It doesn't get much better than that."
Stevosevic Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 I'd take him back, like him as a player and seems like a decent lad.
lou Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 everyone wants to play for Leicester Do you think Mandaric will be pleased Dr Singh?
General Smuts Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Love that Pearson, even in the melee that was the celebrations at Southend was thoughtful enough to include everyone. What a guy. And this has changed my perception of Stockdale as well. Sounds like a good lad.
Dr The Singh Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Do you think Mandaric will be pleased Dr Singh? The bulge in his trousers hasn't gone down, so I would say so!!! As long as your pleased Lou, i'm pleased!!!
lou Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 The bulge in his trousers hasn't gone down, so I would say so!!! As long as your pleased Lou, i'm pleased!!! Ive just vomited a bit in my mouth
Dr The Singh Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Ive just vomited a bit in my mouth Mandaric will be pleased!!!
Guest Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 I rate the guy, been pretty good for us. Him or Martin would be more than welcome back nere next season
Thracian Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Seems a good lad!! He doesn't lack for enthusiasm, that was obvious from the first time I saw him at Hartlepool.
breadandcheese Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Still have my doubts about him, but he's clearly a decent keeper. There's loads of keepers around this summer so we can have a choice. I've said it before in another thread but I'd like one of David Martin, Joe Murphy, Owain Fon Williams or Lee Camp to be our no 1 next season.
Babylon Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 He doesn't lack for enthusiasm, that was obvious from the first time I saw him at Hartlepool. Loved him running the length of the pitch going mad after the Leeds goal!!
Tilley Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 He doesn't lack for enthusiasm, that was obvious from the first time I saw him at Hartlepool. Was it not Bunn that played at Hartlepool?
Babylon Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Was it not Bunn that played at Hartlepool? Something tells me you might be right... I remember thracian raving about Bunn after one game.
Guest Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Was it not Bunn that played at Hartlepool? It was, think it was his first game if I remember correctly
Ozwin Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Seems like a nice lad tbh. I still think we should go for Carlo Nash >_> He hasn't played once for Everton yet.
The People's Hero Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Did someone mention David Martin? He can cock off.
Guest Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Did someone mention David Martin? He can cock off. Oi! We'll have less of that talk mister
The People's Hero Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Oi! We'll have less of that talk mister Seriously. If we want a ginger bloke who's crap in goal, I'll get my mate Ginge in. He's sound as a pound.
Guest Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Seriously. If we want a ginger bloke who's crap in goal, I'll get my mate Ginge in. He's sound as a pound. He's hardly crap though is he? Fair enough he was a bit shaky at the start but by the time he got injured he was much more commanding of his area and seemed to have a good understanding and communication with the back 4. Anyway, as i said earlier, personally I'd welcome either Martin/Stockdale back here next season
breadandcheese Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Seriously. If we want a ginger bloke who's crap in goal, I'll get my mate Ginge in. He's sound as a pound. He improved no end as the season went on. Admittedly, at the start, I thought he was a weak link of the defence, but in the end, before his injury, he was a key part.
Porky Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 Love the comments from him...especially the confidence about tomorrow night! I think he's been pretty decent since he's been here, and I for one hope he gets the chance to have a go next season. Admittedly, I think we do need to buy another keeper but I don't think I would mind him getting a bit of a run out next season. That's what I think anyway.
Hullfox Posted 23 April 2009 Posted 23 April 2009 He doesn't lack for enthusiasm, that was obvious from the first time I saw him at Hartlepool. Must be enthusiastic to watch us that far away.
