Steven Caulker

[Legend10]

Well, some random bloke signed within a week has about week and a half to train with the squad, so no, can't see them being that good at the august when we need it desperately.

And you're logic says they are good just because AVB or Baldini want them? Great, we are first team in the universe to become flop-free.

I'm sure AVB knows what he's doing!

 

[FinnYid]

haha why is everyone calling him our best youth product? there is some serious revisionism going no here.

Since King, you are free to list better ones.

 

[Danny1]

Im disgusted that he has been allowed to go to be honest. Good up & coming very young English CB......erm with Kaboul being a complete crock most of the time and Verts injured for the first game probably it will be interesting to see who plays considering the game is in 2 weeks.....!

 

[NP4_Yid]

Disappointed he's gone - I'm a bit of an old school romantic in that I'd much prefer a player to come through the youth system and do well for us than us sign a foreign import. He impressed me at the Olympics but there were quite a few mistakes in a Spurs shirt last year, however, what young central defender doesn't make mistakes. Still, I trust AVB and the coaching staffs' far superior footballing knowledge.

Most of all I'm disappointed though as I hate cardiff as much as most people on here hate arsenal or chelsea!

 

[Babylon22]

Very passive as a defender and turned like an oil tanker

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

You realise that deal has collapsed tonight?

So the deals hit a snag, doesnt mean it wont happen. How many snags have we hit in the Soldado deal.

 

[KILLA_SIN]

Gutted that he's gone. What message does that send out to our other youngsters coming through?

That they have to work really hard

 

[FinnYid]

I'm sure AVB knows what he's doing!

I'm not

 

[HappySpur]

Who was that idiot saying this wouldn't happen now? Fucking dipshit.

Oh wait....that was me

If a fair offer is made you will be sold. If they aren't first choice I would have thought they would be delighted to know that.

 

[Cavehillspur]

Seemed to be a statement that he will stay at Steau until at least January now. Maybe we will up the ante for him now Caulker has gone, hope so.

 

[gushayes11]

That's how to do a transfer, agree a fee, agree contract then sign it. Few hours job done. (I know there's more to it than that but you get my drift)

Soldado isn't happening, and Bale is going isn't he? PLEASE CONFIRM!

you're being an idiot now. do you seriously think we just plucked him from the Yellow Pages? I'd sooner trust AVB/Baldini's judgement than yours. maybe it does pan out, and maybe it doesn't, but your logic is dumb.

 

[PeeEyeEmPee]

is he a better prospect than Carroll?

 

[FinnYid]

No, none of our signings have been plucked from the Yellow pages. They've been scouted inside out, that has hardly meant high success percentage over the years.

 

[Sarsipius]

It's official. He's gone.

Personally surprised and disappointed but I'll bow to AVB on this one.

 

[FinnYid]

Are we talking about same Tom Carroll that has yet to show his worth on any level and who has 1 U19 cap and 1 U21 cap under his belt?

 

[easley91]

I saw this on twitter and laughed.

Cardiff have signed an absolute caulker I'm ere all week

By the way, he's a Crawley Town player (very talented for League 1 too).

 

[PeeEyeEmPee]

what exactly is your point then? that we shouldn't bother buying anyone and just stick with what we've got, even if they're not that good?
