NO

NO

What do we think?

Stockdale is 34-years-old and has been on loan at Wycombe Wanderers since January. With that in mind, the news of his departure may not surprise many Blues fans. 

However, considering that 24-year-old Keita has made just 11 appearances for Birmingham since joining the club back in January 2017 for £1.53m, it may be understandable why some of these Birmingham fans would have liked to have seen more of him and have some concerns over whether or not this is a mistake from the club.
