Maybe Gallas isn't going after all? 8-[

Re: Bye bye Caulker?
What do you mean by "won't make it"?
Played for a top Prem team, and played for England.
Doing pretty well in my eyes.
Maybe you mean he won't be tracked by Madrid?

Big mistake IMO. Not really because we don't have options, I think we do, but Caulker will be an England starter in 3-4 years, I really believe(d) in that kid.

Re: Bye bye Caulker?
He's overrated and is currently a pretty poor centre back. He made more mistakes and was caught out of position far more times than Gallas last season but Gallas was the GG whipping boy so Caulker's poor performances were swept under the rug. Can he improve? maybe slightly but his faults are positioning and lapses of concentration so i very much doubt he will improve much more then the level he's playing at now.

We sell the brightest prospect to have emerged from our ranks for a long, long time to fudging Cardiff, and plan to replace him with some Romanian no one had heard about until two days ago.
Caulker is only 21, and he was able to handle the Prem (if not master it) at both Swansea and Spurs in consecutive seasons. In two or three years, he will be an England regular. Of this I'm sure. And by then he'll be too expensive to even think about buying back. On top of that, he was a Spurs man who spent seven years in our academy, models himself on Ledley fudging King and talked repeatedly about wanting to make a long career here.
everyone who coached him called him intelligent and excellent positionally. He's no Lennon, but he's quick enough to keep up with most players as long as there's someone covering him. He can pass decently, is great in the air and strong as an ox. All of this will only get better.
This has been the most perplexingly stupid move I have seen us make for some time. That Romanian better turn out to be the Balkan version of Franco fudging Baresi, or else this will tinkle me off for a long time to come.

Sorry but this simply did not happen? he mastered the premiership last season?

For such a great prospect it seems that not alot of the big boys see in Caulker what a lot of you see in him? All these professional scouts out there yet Cardiff City seem to be the only interested party??? Personally I think he was not a bad player but he was never gonna set the world on fire, to contend for CL places we need better players than Caulker and £9million is a massive amount for a bit part player...

That is what I was trying to get across: that he had handled the Premier League, even if he didnt exactly master it.

This isn't a dig at you but it's crazy how much people on here seem to fully not understand a post. That is quite clearly not what DubaiSpur said...

It just adds to a fairly unchill and tetchy environment on here at the moment. I'm guilty on occasion of perhaps not thinking before I speak, but that's in real life, the beauty of the internet is that you actually have time to think things through...
I do not really agree with the pt of "he can't play the ball". He was the first team regular with Swansea in their first season EPL . The team dominated >60% possession most of the game , dare to play it short and on the ground whenever it's possible .
It's always sad to see player coming from the academy left the team . I do admitted that at this moment Caulker does not look as promising as some of us expected ,when we need a reliable CB for cover which AVB may think that Caulker is not good enough ATM, the time just doesn't match you can say. Therefore i am not against bringing in a new CB but he better prove his worth and he's better than Caulker.
For Caulker , a guarantee 1st team regular role in a lower team maybe better than just being a back up in the coming seasons.
Good luck .

Re: Bye bye Caulker?
Yep agree with this and it is a sad day for me, im actually pretty down now. I do not mind never getting to the top if we stuck by and give our youngsters a chance.
Pretty sure townsend and carroll will never get the chance to show their true worth with us either, very sad all round.

Re: Bye bye Caulker?
Extremely sad, and completely self defeating. We have an academy that is producing decent players who could be more and we're just not using them.
