But the transfer window is closed,why do people still aimlessly say "get rid" !!,we can't, we are stuck with him till the end of the season so why not get him fit,let him earn his big wages and play him if needed.Comment

Personally can't see this £40k a week walking disaster fitting into Holloway's all-for-one first team
For me - Caulker epitomises everything that has been wrong with the club for ages.Comment

Can't disagree but when signed he must have thought he was coming to a football plss takers societyComment

I think we all had high hopes when he signed. The general public opinion was also that we have pulled off quite a coup. Thinking back though, it was pretty strange that only us and Palace were in for this promising young English player.
Obviously what has transpired is that he is a raging p*ss head and most of Premier League had probably done their due diligence and realised this guy was an accident waiting to happen.
If I had to sum up the failings of our transfer policy since Fernandes came in, it would simply be that we did not screen our new signings thoroughly enough. We have signed players based on reputation, or a few solid performances on a loan spell but what we clearly haven't done well enough is actually check out their current situation, fitness and mindset well enough.
Park Ji-Sung was signed to a huge fanfare after he'd already sustained what turned out to be a career ending knee injury. Diakite was signed despite clear psychological issues. God knows how many were signed that were only here for the money. I'm hoping that we've learned our lesson a bit and all of the new crop of players are here cos they want to be here, and are mentally and physically fit to play for the club!Last edited by Tarbie; 21-02-2017, 10:33 AM.Comment

To be fair maybe everyone thought Caulker had turned a corner. He'd been Cardiff's player of the season in their one year in the Prem, but his love of the booze must have been well known. Bit like Taarabt in an entirely different way, wasting a huge talentComment
