    Lets see if it works. SSN are saying we've met the buy out clause. Sign him up. Caulker and Fonte would be a good pairing.

    Saint Steven is a song from The Grateful Dead's first album, Aoxomoxoa, so I just checked the lyrics (by Robert Hunter) and found these lines;

    "Stephen prospered in his time,
    Well he may and he may decline.
    Did it matter, does it now,
    Stephen would answer if he only knew how."

    and;

    "Several seasons, with their treasons,
    Wrap the babe in scarlet colours,
    Call it your own."

    I think that's a sign, probably a good one.

    Just asked the same thing elsewhere. Seems to only be Saints fans saying about this and I've had SSN on and seen nothing...

    Whoops sorry guys if I've jumped the gun. Happy for Mods to delete and reinstate when/if there is something more concrete.

    Just seen it on SSN that we have triggered the release clause, so OP is correct.

    They were talking about QPR, and saying Caulker had been there for talks yesterday, but said that we had joined the scrap to sign him by triggering his release clause this morning.

    Think there could be better options available but wouldn't be against the signing.

    QPR are signing Ferdinand allegedly. Would be good to stop Harry getting things all his own way.

    Asked the person I usually get info off. He said he hasn't heard anything about Caulker.

    Alex Crook has just said the same. I'm really surprised if this has been on SSN that they've not tweeted it themselves and no journalist has chased it up...

    The players agent maybe using our interest in him to get a better deal from QPR or us...

    It was on the transfer round up thing I heard it btw. It is really weird they haven't tweeted it or put it on their site tho.

    I hope by "triggering the release cause" that this means he has to escape like Batman did from the pit prison thing in that ****ing awful last Batman film.
