New Manager, Still Unaware Other Clubs Exist

You only gave him 8 minutes, he is not that fast!

Can’t blame Klopp for this one. Must have been impressed by Caulker when we played them in the Capital One.

Though I think somebody ought to tell Jurgen that if Steven signs for Liverpool, he won’t be aiding Sturridge in scoring goals.

I assume we will only agree for a loan release fee of £2m though, so far from a done deal.

You go and watch him be outstanding for them, or outstanding in Liverpool standards!

2 relegations in the last 2 seasons. More than happy for him to go to them and let him continue that run.

(I know it won’t but I can dream)

Caulker’s gone!

We stopped at Warwick Services, I just drove off when he went to the toilet.

He’ll be fine.

Apparently it is a done deal LOL

Well he did say he’d walk there if he had the chance of signing…it was good of you to take him that far.

I can’t quite believe that this has actually happened, it’s like WT actual F!!

It was only the other day that Koeman was saying that Caulker would be seeing out his loan period. I can only guess that they have had a rethink and have decided to use the money better elsewhere. It does leave us with the Yoshi problem though if either VvD or Fonte get crocked.

Maybe Ron likes the look of Stephens?

Yoshi is a more than adequate CB it’s the RB/LB position that he has a problem with.

I assume its all a hilarious misunderstanding anyor all of

  1. They needed somone to open all the wine in hospitality and it was demanded that the position was filled *Stat*

  2. There was a pressing need to fill the captaincy role after gerard left and this was left lying around

  1. Someone misherd when they said ‘the best way to stop leaking at the back is to get a Cork in’

  2. They thought it was Jack Cork

  3. Somone really wants to write the headline ‘Kopps Klopp Kops Crap Caulker’

It is a bizarre move, especially after Klopp saw his finest hour first hand.

A bloke who can’t force his way into a leaky defence…

Smacks of Brendan Rodgers this one.

Pity we didn’t buy him and make £10m along the way.

they’re very desperate though. I was talking to a Liverpool fan at lunch and although he recognised that caulker isn’t great, they just need bodies. I think he said Lucas played CB last game.

I’m more than happy with Yoshida as spare CB. Like btripz says, the problem comes when he’s played at right back. That said, I’m hoping we buy or loan a defender in the window. We desperately need a RB more than a CB and I’m never convinced entirely by people who can play both.

I would like to see us scour the lower leagues for some young, cheap talent to develop.

Don’t forget that Gardos is almost back, too, so Caulker was (even more) surplus to requirements.

At least it frees up some of the wage budget and, rumour has it, Liverpool did pay us to cancel the loan deal.

Win-win for Saints and QPR… gutted Liverpool. :smile:

Caulker was mainly for use in the Europa League and the domestic cup competitions so it was a deal that made sense in August - especially if you hadn’t seen him play.

I would disagree about Yoshida. The problem comes when he plays, full stop. He really isnt a Premiership quality player and I doubt if any other Premiership club would sign him if we decided to let him go.

Been trading messages with some (decent) Liverpool fans and they are all in agreement that this is the worst player they have taken from us, even though the bar is set pretty low :lou_lol:

He’d better not get his act together, I would just love it (Kevin Keegan voice), yeah, I would just love it if he has a few mares and we get to see them in slow motion a few times.
