I'd agree with that Stevo, but there's usually someone who'll pay him more given that they've only got to match the release clause figure. He could double his dosh elsewhere - that's unless Fernandes has got the big cheque book out again.
The hunt for Caulker's replacement is definitely on. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...Southampton-defender-Jose-Fonte-rejected.html
36pl appearances suggests this offer was a little misguided. Why would you move from established first team Pl to championship? Unless saints are trying to set a new bench mark by selling their entire first 11 and manager in 1 transfer window!!! They want to hope Koeman is right man because his decisions this summer will have a massive effect on their future. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out.
Another one from "the old club" connection? We might still get Rooney......... http://footballleagueworld.co.uk/cardiff-linked-with-loan-move-for-manchester-united-defender612/
Realise it's only Talksport, but is Eu10M really enough given what Dalman has said about not selling at a loss, or is that all we actually paid for him? http://talksport.com/football/exclu...el-set-complete-inter-milan-move-140708100608
Seems like VT knows everybody. http://www.sempreinter.com/2014/07/...elations-between-thohir-and-tan-key-to-medel/ 1.8M Euros up front - Gary's wages off the book, and 10M Euros cash next season. Doesn't seem a bad deal?
Is there an element of bet hedging going on here? We stay in the championship we get 10M euros (not got a euro symbol on my keyboard and cant remember the alt/fn/ctrl combo for it), we go straight back up be get him back? Could be a shrewd move by VT.

Fraizer pushing too hard? Rumoured before now, but confirmed now he's blown it staying in the Prem with Leicester. http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...ardiff-city-striker-fraizer-campbells-7407066
Cheers OS, Read somewhere that Hull are interested in him, especially if they do not land Dawson from Spurs.
This centreback issue looks like it's becoming a bit of a merry-go-round thing. Lovren to Liverpool could mean Caulker to Soton with Fonte coming the other way in a combo deal - but would Fonte want to drop a division?
Can't blame him for wanting as higher wage as possible but his 'ambition' to stay where he feels he belongs (despite all evidence suggesting he isn't a PL player) should surely be attempting to make this transfer work. I hope something gets sorted and he leaves, if he stays I'll support him the same as I do everyone else who wears the shirt.
Will Ole get his man? http://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/...ardiff-city-transfer-news-southampton-7421892
