Absolutely outstanding against Arsenal, he's gonna be a great player. Immense in the air. The only thing he needs to improve on is his distribution, but with the way the swans play I think it will improve a lot over the season.

First time I've been to the emirates - have to say amazing stadium but the arsenal fans are pathetic - no banter, no singing! Worst atmosphere I've been to. Particularly loved chanting some Tottenham songs to them!

Totally agree, I was at the Emirates too and you'd think it was 5000 arsenal fans and 50000 swansea fans from the noise. They even mentioned it on match of the day.

Caulker and Williams were fantastic at the back, bar the ridiculous keeper error it would have been a deserved clean sheet. He came pretty close to beating Sczecsny in the air at a bunch of corners and could have got an assist if Graham hadn't skied a late chance. He had a great clearance off the line where he caught himself nastily on the post but got up and carried on like nothing had happened. All the markings of a great player.

So far so good. If he can continue this form for the rest of the season he could really challenge to be in the starting XI next season like Walker has done.

He has the makings to be a great defender.

Dare I say it he could be better than our Ledley.

No pressure then.

I don't think he'll be as good as Ledley. He'll be good though, got a good chance to play for England I reckon
I don't think we'll ever see another defender at Spurs who is as good as King.

That being said, Caulker looks like he has the potential to fill Ledley's role as our main man in defence.

Starting to wonder if he inherited the injury proneness from the senior centerbacks.

I'm starting to think we should save our money on a centre back come Jan and keep the no.5 for this lad next season.

If you're good enough you're old enough and the lads Jones and Smalling have been given their chances and are shining at Man U.

Couldn't agree more. The kid looks a talent.

I think he's going to be huge for us. That said I'd still consider spending in Jan to be absolutely sure we have the quality to keep a CL qualification on track.

King and Gallas could easily go out for long spells, Daws has an uncertain return date and Bassong has said he wants a move in Jan. I think we can't get Caulker back before the end of the season so you could see a Bassong upgrade on the cards in Jan.
