easy swap for his owners if Stockdale (£4.5m) can repeat the form he showed when he got a run of games at the start of last season.

I wondered why I transfered him into the team tonight :oops:

Game changer for sure. I guess he'll come back into the side on the 14th January, so missing four of their potential nine games in the next window. He may not even dislodge Stockdale straight away.

So everything points to getting him out, the odds on gambling keeping him are long.

Have a team just outside the top 100, it contains Schwartzer, VIdic, Rodwell, Y Toure and Hernandez :evil:

So he misses ;

Tonights game (no clean sheet)
Bolton (H) Poss clean sheet
Man U (H) could lose points
Chelsea (H) more lost points
Norwich (A) doubt of a clean sheet
Arsenal (H) no clean sheet there
Charlton (FA Cup) prob wouldn't play
Blackburn (A) 14/1/12, could be his comeback

So it looks like he'll miss all the games where he'd be expected to DROP points anyway.

That leaves us holders with the quandry that - will he get straight back into the squad once fit. If the backup plays well, maybe not.

Hmmm, I have others I want to out, so I'll probably keep him for the next window.

Quite a few Fulham semi-blocks knocking in and around the top 100. This also brings up the dilemma of holding onto Fulham defenders without the dependable Schwarzer backing them up. A reserve 'keeper could mean more possible minus points for Hangeland etc. (as seen tonight).

No longer being in Europe also makes Fulham players less attractive. May have other rubbish to dump though.

Stockdale has been at Ipswich, so his confidence will be in tatters
