Stephen Caulker was thrown out of VIP bash at the O2 following a drunken brawl last night. He's proving to be a proper liability all round. One for the transfer list...
He had a broken hand while playing a few weeks ago - is the man just desperate to get out of doing the washing up?
Roll back the clock 6 months - he seems to have a bit of a history for this type of stuff:- £40,000-a-week England defender Steven Caulker 'left with blood pouring from his head' after Christmas party brawl in London pub Queens Park Rangers defender needed hospital treatment for the head injury Footballer, 22, had been at Christmas party with QPR and Crystal Palace stars Reports suggest a brawl unfolded at a pub in Wandsworth, south west London There have been claims that a row started between footballers and drinkers Fellow QPR star Joey Barton was said to have acted as a peacemaker QPR have denied Mr Caulker's injury was the result of being involved in a fight Police confirm they were called to a 'disturbance' at the pub on Sunday night No arrests have been made after brawl but an investigation is continuing By JULIAN ROBINSON FOR MAILONLINE PUBLISHED: 9 December 2014 please log in to view this image please log in to view this image please log in to view this image An England footballer was left needing hospital treatment for a head injury as a Christmas party descended into a brawl, it has been reported. Witnesses have claimed that Queens Park Rangers defender Steven Caulker was left with 'blood pouring down his face' after trouble started at a pub in Wandsworth, London. The £40,000-a-week England star was rushed by ambulance to a west London hospital after police officers were called to a 'disturbance' at the Ship Inn. According to a report in the Sun, the incident unfolded after a woman spilled a drink on former England defender Rio Ferdinand - also a QPR player. Team mate Joey Barton is reported to have stepped in as peacemaker as a row erupted between footballers and other pub goers. Witnesses later saw Mr Caulker with blood coming from a wound on his head. QPR have denied he was involved in a brawl but confirmed he suffered a head injury. A police spokesman said: 'Police were called at 6.45pm to the Ship Inn on Sunday December 7 to reports of a disturbance. 'Officers attended and discovered a man with a head injury. He was taken by ambulance to a West London hospital. There were no arrests and inquiries continue.' A spokesman for Queens Park Rangers Football Club said Mr Caulker did require treatment for a cut to a head - but denied it was the result of a fight. The player has yet to comment on the matter. A statement said: 'Following Saturday's Premier League win versus Burnley, and with no further fixture for nine days, the club can confirm players were allowed to have a Sunday lunch together. 'Steven Caulker was not involved in an altercation. He did suffer a cut to his head, which he received treatment for at hospital before being discharged on the same evening.' QPR owner Tony Fernandes took to Twitter to play down the reports. He wrote: 'I'm aware of some headlines appearing in tomorrow [Tuesday's] newspaper. After a great win boys were given permission for a Sunday lunch. 'Team is very united and really playing for each other. Steven Caulker slipped over and hurt his head and is fine. Nothing else to report. 'Great team spirit. We are one. Best I've seen since being chairman. A few sensational headlines but team has done us proud.' Crystal Palace has declined to comment. Rio Ferdinand, Joey Barton and Steven Caulker were not immediately available for comment. A worker at the Ship Inn this morning said the pub had no comment to make. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...ng-head-Christmas-party-brawl-London-pub.html
Dud player ...........................nothing worse than a man who can't hold his liquor ............. yes, I said liquor.
Same "news"paper, £42k or £40k? What is it? Doesn't matter really, to much money compared to what you get in return anyway. Hopefully he gets his wages halved until sold after his latest relegation.
Ideally, I think that he needs to stay - bear in mind he has been in 2 teams that have got relegated from the premiership - if he is really as good as he thinks he is then he should prove it on the pitch. Central defence is probably one of the easier positions to play as you can see everything in front of you so maybe finding the settled defence will help him
He only has to ask. Hopefully someone will be stupid enough to sign him and we can recoup some of what we paid for him. He is one of the worst central defenders pound for pound in our history.
Yep, he plays like he's walking on glass. The number of goals he cost us last season must be in double figures. Waste of space. Get rid asap. But I doubt we'll get our £8m back.
