Its a similar story to the summer, when we expressed an interest in various good players only to be shocked when money got discussed.
It reminds me of when Spurs "nearly" signed Ronaldinho etc.
There is simply no reason on earth why Stockley would come to a battle for mid table at best. None. So lets nip that in the bud.
I would imagine a 3 1/2 year contract on higher wages with a decent signing on fee would be enough to convince him to sign. It seems his other options are perhaps Sunderland, Portsmouth and Peterborough or holding out for more options in the summer. Sunderland barely need him and is a thousand miles from Exeter, Peterborough barely need him and is a shithole so it may only be us and Pompey in the running. Pompey would suit with both location and league position but it isn't impossible to think that we could be in with a shout.
