I hope by "triggering the release cause" that this means he has to escape like Batman did from the pit prison thing in that f**king awful last Batman film.
Indeed, like swooping, warchest, winning the race to sign... And people complain about players using clichés. They've got nothing on the media.

RK: So what is my warchest?
LR: Mahogony
RK: Deal
 
If we sign Caulker I would want another cb in what with Lovren going.
 
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.

Aoxomoxoa is of course the Dead's third album, following The Grateful Dead and Anthem if the Sun.

The last line of the chorus of Saint Stephen is:

"Wherever he goes the people all complain"

which I hope isn't a sign!
 
I have no strong feelings either way on this one.

Hes prone to making mistakes, but he is young, he scores some goals and the potential is there. So i would be okay with it, but a little underwhelmed.
 
I have no idea how good or bad Caulker is. I guess people really liked to watch Cardiff last season. :D

I only watched several games, two against Saints and maybe a few more (as well as MOTD every saturday/sunday) and I haven't seen much either for or against Caulker.
 
Redknapp seems to think Caulker is his.

The article about Caulker going to QPR is just repeating what Harry said about a week or so back that he's keen on him and hope he signs. The fact he's still waiting must tell us something and I wouldn't be surprised Caulker is waiting for movement around the Lovren situation. Liverpool may go for Caulker if they can't get Lovren, or we get Caulker is Lovren goes ?
 
Just to repeat what I said on some other thread when Caulker came up a while ago - I think he's a defensive defender who better suits a deep back line. There are two very different approaches to defending nowadays and we do the other one.

So he's the opposite of David Luiz then?

Anyway, whatever he's done in the past, I'm sure he can adapt to different styles of play.

That's probably what United thought about Chris Smalling. In any case, whether he can adapt or not, we'd be much better off going for players who already can play our way.
 
Not fussed one way or another about Caulker, he isn't as good as Lovren by any stretch of the imagination and doesn't look as quick as Fonte so may be a liability playing a high defensive line (if thats what we continue to do) but could see him coming into his own against West Hoof, Stoke, Villa etc who simply hoof it from one end of the field to another.
The only reason I would like him is to p*ss Rednapp off
