There has been much discussion about how GM has handled players considered not to be part of his plans. Other than Stockdale none of the bomb squad were even close to the first team and FFP was tightening its grip. If you want to get a player out then you need to make life a bit uncomfortable for them otherwise they will happily draw their 20k per week and not pressure their agent to find them a move. The tactic has worked and I think we will also find Greg Stewart and Diego Fabrinni (hopefully) move on loan in the next few days. Stockdale however is a different story. Purely on ability he would get in our team. My guess is his wages are so large that at clubs that do want him are asking us to heavily subsidies them resulting in us being unable to offload him. When the window is closed maybe it is time to welcome him back into the fold. This would of course mean that GM will have to swallow a bit of pride......
