    Re: Steven Caulker

    Didn't realise he is still only 26 years old!
    Looked as if he had a great future when he played for the Jacks.

    Ashley Williams was in his prime then, made Caulker look better than he was.

    He's backed off attackers that far he's ended up in Dundee. He's had his demons and I feel for him but we should have known that from Malky's "dossiers". Half the messageboard knew he was a pisshead when we signed him!

    Sold for about the same though? An average journeymen like most of the premier league these days. Quite mad to think England have no world class players these days

    Selling him for the same is scant consolation after being relegated and losing millions.

    If Milky had spent the kitty Tan gave him wisely we could still be in the Prem. Albeit in red so every cloud and all that.

    Harry Kane is world class, so is Kyle Walker for his position.

    Re: Steven Caulker

    Is Kane? What’s he done, he hasn’t even won a trophy yet? Leagues, nothing at all in Europe and let’s not talk about England hey....this summer we might see how good he is in Russia. Don’t get me wrong I think he is a class act but not world class yet

    Re: Steven Caulker

    Steven Caulker was 22 when we signed him, an England international, had previously played brilliantly for Swansea in the Premier League and was talked about as a a future England captain. Spurs fans were seething when we picked him up for £8m.

    He was viewed as a great signing at the time, unfortunately he's had mental health issues and I wish him all the best

    Re: Steven Caulker

    I thought he was decent when we signed him. Didn't we get back what we paid for him?

    Exactly.

    Thought he was one of our better performers that year. Went on to play another 25 plus games the following season in the premier league, albeit in another relegation side.

    Don't understand some of these comments.

    Re: Steven Caulker

    For mental health issues read pisshead and a gambler.

    And before anyone jumps on my case I’ve suffered depression, ironically because I was gambling and drinking too much, so I know it’s just a self pitying cop out to blame the mental health for the gambling and drinking.

    He’s been relegated more times than Sunderland

    I remember some fool on **** claiming we had the future spine of the England team in Moore, Caulker, Mutch and Campbell 😂😂

    We could have signed Curtis Davies for a quarter of the price and he done a better job in keeping Hull in the division.

    Mistake prone, often caught out of position.

    If we'd bought him from say Leyton Orient he'd have been absolutely slaughtered for those mistakes.

    Caulker looked good alongside Williams at Swansea. Every other club he's basically been crap. Liverpool bizarrely loaned him and he played more up front than at the back! Based upon that I'd say Wiliams made him look better than he really is.

    22 and an England international, touted as a future regular and looked like he was a future captain

    Hindsight is 20/20 but I can't recall people calling for Curtis Davies when we signed Caulker

    Seems like his mental state has led him astray somewhat. When he was younger at spurs he must have been ok, he seemed ok with us but obv needed someone string next to him like Williams, who was in his prime then. He did score a memorable goal that beat the jacks and took us above Man Utd I think.....

    Well said, City123. There's much that could be said about these revisionists but Malky was the best manager during my time following Cardiff City followed by Jimmy Scoular.

    For a matter of balance, whatever Caulker and Medel cost us we recouped the fees when they were subsequently sold so I doubt they were overpriced. It appears Malky's two major targets when we went up were Wanyama and Vardy. A failure to inctease both bids, by £1m and £0.2m respectively ended our interest in the players. That we didn't get them was a decision made by others at the Club.

    Re: Steven Caulker

    If we'd signed Curtis Davies and Hull signed Caulker, the same would have happened. We went down because we were dreadfully disorganised from January onwards, not because of the quality of first teamer we had.

    Oh so it wasn't the decision of the players then?

    Wanyama and Vardy were chased by other clubs in better positions than we were. Even if we increased transfer offers for those, it hardly follows those players would have wanted to be here.
