I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one of Caulker or Onuha or both at LR next season
Caulker has age on his side at 23, but I simply don't see him developing much past his current ability. If you're poor in the air, you're poor in the air. Age will do nothing to cure that. Onuoha is the weakest strong player in English football. Built like a tank, battles like a tricycle. I think the club would do well to cash in on both of them tbh. I can't see us really missing either, even in the Champ.
Caulker will be staying, a Ramsey player, I would not be surprised to see Ned stay also, maybe a full season playing with the same partner at CB might develop his game, he has spent too much time on the bench at City and here, and too much time at RB.
That said, if we lost Ned and kept Caulker I would be happy with that, he need stability at this stage of his Career, and I hope he develops into a top CB, pace, good on the ball, heading can be worked on, I was listening to Crouch last week, he said he heading ability was poor, only working with Les improved his ability, that's all Caulker needs, help, he will be the captain of the hoops for years to come I hope!

Crouch has the distinct advantage of being about 12 feet tall...when you're as big as he is, you don't really need the best heading technique. He wins the ball in the air without even leaving the ground sometimes. Caulker sadly doesn't have that luxury. Not a small bloke by any means, but not so big that he can just stand there and wait for the thing to hit him on the head. The average size players usually learn how to head a football long before 23, especially one's worth £8million. I think he can (and will) improve...just nowhere near as much as some envisage.

You would be right about Caulker if he had a brain
Ned will stay - no one wanted him last time we went down and he's hardly torn up trees this time round. A newly promoted side will take Caulker. Dunne should stay on a pay as you play deal but I can see another Champ team offering him a 1 year deal.
