    Well,they were dumb enough to pay £15 mill for Allen.

    Why not ask Huw Jenkins to be your representative,on a commission basis, in selling Caulker to Liverpool.

    Huw would get you £30 million. <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    £15M for Caulker? ****ing Caulker??? <yikes> Amazing. Bet the Liverpool fans can't wait. <laugh> So in a team that's conceded squilions of goals, where the keeper has been subjected to more shots than any other on the stats (he's been brilliant btw) and where the team is likely to go down whose fault is all that exactly? Caulker is a half decent defender but 5 mil would be the absolute max for me as he clearly has a lot to learn.

    Thing is when you're at a big club you can afford to **** up. Borini was way overpriced and was sent packing on loan. Allen overpriced and has been patchy with many fans not taking to him at all. If the Swans spent that kind of money and got that return we'd be calling for heads to roll.

    Caulker is better than Williams NQAT.

    Williams is the most overrated footballer ever to kick a ball. He was made to look good by having Caulker with him a few seasons ago.

    The truth is that Williams and Caulker complimented each other during his loan at Swansea.

    He has been playing in a very poor Cardiff team,and looks nothing like the player he was with The Swans'.

    Cardiff would pay a king's ransom to sign Williams,or any other Swansea City gem. <laugh>

    Agreed Lib. If anything it was the reverse. Caulker was a much better player here but then moved to Club where he played with ****e. The table doesn't lie.

    Caulker needs decent defender partners with him, He cant do the job on his own as nobody could. Caulker was an idiot for joining cardiff in the first place and would have done better with a bigger team like us or stoke and a few others who have an experienced premier defense and he could do the job as part of a defensive team instead of trying to do it on his own..

    Thrust into the Captains role and trying to guide a weak inexpericenced defence was never going to work for the lad .Fair play he's stuck at it but too much responsibility too soon .He's certainly not better than Ash in any aspect of his game but with time on his side and playing with a better side ( that could include anyone :emoticon-0105-wink:) he'll develop into a fair better player than we've seen this season .

    He was only 19 when he played for us and it improved his game. He could have done better and should have done better than he has at cardiff especially in a world cup year....whoever decided that he should join cardiff has made a huge error of judgement imo..
