Offer made for Caulker

Hangeland - just as long as he doesn't come here.

Shame if he would have to sell his London house and actually move for his job to earn his 20k a week...

I know Onouha is a fans favourite and did incredibly well last season but the fact is he got raped at centre back in the Prem and I would be amazed if he is first choice next season. I like the player and think he will have a big part to play one way or another next season but just being realistic.

Yes but that was two years ago and I would say he has come on a lot in that time, definitely a lot better player now than then.

He had hardly played at City when he came to us, and was thrust into that pile of rubbish and expected to perform.

Can't recall him having any bad games last year albeit in the Championship, but like you say believe he will be a major asset for us next year, but do think he will be first choice.

Very strong and quick and his positional play seems to be improving all the time.

Palace odds have really shortened again. Would be horrific to lose out to palace in my opinion.

[Brightsparx]

That would be poor Maidstone and a wake up call me thinks

[hal9thou]

Palace are definitely in the frame, the odds have changed way too much and bookmakers odds are a far more reliable guide than the press.

Just ask Harry.......

If he's holding on for more than the quoted 60k a week we're offering I'd be happy to see him go to them to be honest. He's not a 60k a week player as yet.

[MYU]

35k plus good bonuses should be about right?

To be honest, I'd rather pay that kind of money to a player in his prime than to a player 5 years past his best!

[Kevin Mcleod]

If he choses palace over us then he really is a divvy. Everything about that club is proper toilet, getting there is the worst, and once you are there what a shitehole. Loftus road is fairly easy to get to from the country mansion and london is ten minutes away?
Both clubs are prem strugglers and both will offer the same dough, so if he choses them then they are welcome to him.

Can't see any reason why any decent young player would pick Palace over us. Sh*t club going nowehere with sh*t fans & a battered old ground in a really sh*t part of London. On top of that they've got a manager who likes to kick the opposition up in the air and hoof the ball long.

Surely any decent young player would prefer joining a club managed by Harry Redknapp with an ambitious board that wants to go places!

[Shania]

This signing is sooo important to get sorted. C´mon, Caulker!! Sign that dotted line...

Also shows what type of character he is, and if this is the case IMO he's the wrong type!.... I said it in another thread I'm starting to get the feeling he's stringing us along to get a bet offer elsewhere...

Redknapp never really gave Caulker a chance when he was at Spurs aside one Carling Cup tie and one Europa League game where he played the kids to make a point to Levy - this was when he was loaned out Bristol City and Swansea too. Maybe Caulker feels Harry doesn't rate him and Pulis does? Maybe he feels his lack of pace wouldn't be exposed as much in a Pulis side that plays their centre backs very deep with centre backs also employed as full backs. Would make him look better.

Anyway - given that both clubs would offer similar money and are of a similar standing, assume it will be his football decision that holds sway, unless he wants to come back "home", as such.

They're really not.

Bookies are terrified of transfer odds as there are far too many people with inside info that could potentially take them to the cleaners. The odds will change (and I've watched them change) if someone bets £20 on a player moving if that bookie is near a clubs training ground or stadium
