    Caulker and De Vrij would make me very happy indeed.

    I don't think Caulker would be any better than Vlaar. Happy for QPR to have him.

    I'd be happier with Caulker because he's a lot younger.

    Yes, he's had some really good showings for Spurs, Swansea and at Cardiff. Still just 22 and if he could be allowed to settle down somewhere he could become very good. Pretty much had a different club every year due to loans etc. so I'm not sure his best has really been seen yet.

    Not saying we will get Caulker, but the deal is dragging big time. It's like another club is in for him.

    Seems to have a good attitude too in terms of wanting to play football. Probably could easily have sat on the bench for Spurs but took the responsibility to go to Cardiff.

    Just talk, but Caulker & De Vrij for the price of Lovren would represent good business in my view. I await disappointment :)

    I dont think Caulker fancies another relegation battle, hence why he is dragging his heels over a move to QPR in the hope that someone better comes in for him.
    I cant see any of the top 6 going for him, although he was linked with Liverpool earlier in the window, but if they are taking Lovren, then they arent going to want him. That leaves Newcastle, Everton and us as the next best options, so fingers crossed we can make the deal happen.
    De Vrij would be an absolute dream signing, but if he is available for about 8 million, bigger clubs than us must be interested. Am sure i read Man Utd were after him, but if Koeman can tempt him to come here it would be one of the signings of the summer.

    He's trying to come to terms with playing alongside Rio.

    Harry's only offering 70k p/w and Caulker's sure he can ratchet that up to 120k?

    Talksport reporting Caulker going to QPR for medical.....no doubt Harry has slung a huge wage at him to persuade him to go there

    Ian Abrahams (Moose) @BroadcastMoose · 13m

    It's my understanding Steven Caulker will have a medical at @QPRFC today ahead of his proposed move from Cardiff ​

    According to The Scottish Sun, we have bid £7.5m for Forster but Celtic want £9m.

    I'd give Celtic £18m and get Dijk as well.
