Remeber him? That other donkey Malky paid 8m for.
Just signed for Dundee FC in the SPL.

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
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
I thought he was decent when we signed him. Didn't we get back what we paid for him?
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.
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.
But someone on here said he was a GREAT player. !!!!!
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.

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.
