VectisSaint Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 talkSPORTDrive @talkSPORTDrive Caulker signs for Liverpool in time to play against Arsenal. Wenger's ridiculous luck continues. Couldn't make it up. Shocked that Liverpool have got him on loan, Rangers were reportedly only interested in a permanent deal. From Liverpool perspective he is only covering Lovren so the fact that he is crap is not really an issue for them. Hope he plays for them against us later in the season.
sadoldgit Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 I must have just woken up in a parallel universe.
redkeith Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 And their fans are unhappy about Lallana, Lambert and Lovren. Caulker is proof of the FA England team selection algorithm " 2 seasons playing well for a mid-table team
doddisalegend Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 Had a quick look at the Liverpool forum. They sound a lot like us when we signed him trying to convince themselves he's half decent...
bpsaint Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 I guess Caulker didn't fancy a third successive relegation on his C.V.
Trout-Tickler Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 I guess Gardos must be close to a return?
eelpie Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 So that's our January transfer business sorted.
disconnect Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 Hopefully this means we've got a bit more wages ready to cover our new superstar striker, plus the 2 or 3 other top players we should've signed in the summer... Is there actually any news on 'the good lad around town' (taken from his twitter) Gardos?
S-Clarke Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 What the actual ****? Did Klopp shut his eyes during his utterly pathetic performance at St Mary's? I've never seen such a poor CB performance, it was Makin - Bennett levels of ineptness. Hilarious.
Saint Charlie Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 Koeman said Gardos will be back full training in Feb
ErwinK1961 Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 Chances of avoiding relegation have just increased 97.1%
Super_Uwe Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 You just know he's going to do well there now...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 Interesting to see what Ronald says in his press conference because I'm sure he said the plan was to keep Caulker for the rest of the season. Clearly, he didn't play well in his sporadic appearances for us but it must be hard integrating into a back 4 consistently when you only play once in a while, sometimes only for a few minutes at a time. It will be interesting to see if he gets any game time at Liverpool, even with their injury crisis.
Patrick Bateman Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 I'm astonished. Genuinely! Oh well, if you're going to "play" for a mid table side, may as well play badly for the bigger named one ...
saint1977 Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 What the actual ****? Did Klopp shut his eyes during his utterly pathetic performance at St Mary's? I've never seen such a poor CB performance, it was Makin - Bennett levels of ineptness. Hilarious. Glad it's not just me that is staggered. Can't get into our poorest side since the dark days of 08/09 yet goes on loan to Klopp and Liverpool, having turned in a Callum Davenport-esque disaster of a performance against them in the League Cup. He's been worse than Yoshida - and Yoshi wouldn't have got into our League 1 side of 2009/10 this year. Got to use the loan space to bring in an AMC as well as a new permanent striker - come on Les Reed, time to earn your money.
Sour Mash Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 Caulker isn't as bad as many on here make out. Yes, he did have a couple of s**t performances for us, that happens sometimes. Makes sense them signing him, same reason it was sensible for us to sign him - Premier League experience, and short-term availability. Not many CBs tick those boxes really.
davayy Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 ... and Yoshi wouldn't have got into our League 1 side of 2009/10 this year. The worst part is, you're not even joking.

Makes sense them signing him, same reason it was sensible for us to sign him - Premier League experience, and short-term availability. Not many CBs tick those boxes really. True...! He is f*cking sh!t though.....long ball hoofer, slow, cant tackle, cant read the flight of the ball, not particularly strong.
Bad Wolf Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 Ahahaha what the actual ****?! Their obsession with signing our players is just getting bizarre. He's ********, makes Yoshida look like Bobby Moore.
Saint Charlie Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 You know a player is ****e when ALWAYS_SFC isn't rushing to his defence.

Makes sense them signing him, same reason it was sensible for us to sign him - Premier League experience, and short-term availability. Not many CBs tick those boxes really. The voice of reason. Caulker is not a bad player and Klop is not a mug. Football is all about opinions and fans will differ over their opinions of players but I contend at 12m Tadic remains a big disappointment. He hardly ever completes 90 mins, his goalscoring record is poor, he goes missing, doesn't track back and shows a lack of spirit when things aren't going well. Yes he has skill, probably more than anyone else in the squad but he is a luxury we can't afford. I find it amazing that many more on this forum give Targett stick when at least the kid gives his all.
Batman Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 this is one bizarre season what an absolutely weird move. He cant get into our side and we are bang average this year hillarious

I am guessing that they have had a rethink and want to use that money elsewhere now. Well, hoping rather than guessing.

I find it amazing that many more on this forum give Targett stick when at least the kid gives his all. as someone that gives Targett plenty of stick, I'd like to I concur with your assessment of Tadic. With the ball, pretty decent player (and to be honest the side struggles to keep the ball or create chances when he doesn't play), without it, pretty poor. Returning to the Caulker post, this is good news. I wasnt expecting a world beater, but I was surprised at just how slow he was, especially on the turn. Hopefully that will free up some wages for us to get another loan in ourselves.
sadoldgit Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 maybe free up some wages??? You would hope so. The fact that we are being linked with players other than an out and out striker would suggest that perhaps they feel the money will be better spent elsewhere. We are in for an interesting few weeks!
Roger Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 Tbh I think the criticism of Caulker a bit OTT considering what Tadic gets away with (his effort to block Puncheon's shot prior to Palace's 2nd was heroic). Jesus what's happened to you!
SNSUN Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 This is funny as hell, but what's the betting he surprises us all and proves he isn't crud by putting in some performances for Pool... Means we can get another loan in right? And assume Stephens becomes our back up centre back after Yoshida...
corky morris Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 I really wanted him to be a success, but he was terrible against Liverpool. BUT, I think he is better than what we've seen. Any player needs a run of games & he didn't get that. Wouldn't be surprised if he does ok there. Don't get me started on Tadic. He's been woeful this season. The flip side of the Old Trafford penalty was the rubbish one at Burnley.
simo Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 You know a player is ****e when ALWAYS_SFC isn't rushing to his defence. Haha this !
JRM Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 you can guarantee that if he plays against us for Liverpool he will be man of the match. strange move, but makes sense as he wasn't getting a game for us, and we have Fonte / Van Dijk and Yoshida with Stephens as back up plus Gardos on his way back, the wages could be better spent elsewhere.
Whitey Grandad Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 I'm sure Ron will be devastated. Are we paying all his wages as part of the loan? Could this free up some money for an actually useful loan signing for the rest of the season? And free up a loan space, as has been mentioned above.
david in sweden Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 And free up a loan space, as has been mentioned above. .....not to mention the cost of the " loan fee " and 5 months salary ....
Pengi Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 What the actual ****? Did Klopp shut his eyes during his utterly pathetic performance at St Mary's? I've never seen such a poor CB performance, it was Makin - Bennett levels of ineptness. Hilarious. Maybe Klopp is rewarding him for helping Liverpool progress into the next round
wild-saint Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 Perhaps Klopp sees some potential and is confident he can coach some improvements into Caulker. If you're reading this that's 'coach' by the way Ronald. C.O.A.C.H. It means helping your players develop. You might want to try it sometime. Polish a turd springs to mind
Greenridge Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 He was so unfit when he came to us it was ridiculous. Don't know if he just didn't bother with a pre-season as he knew he'd be moving or what but unprofessional whatever the reason. He really can't be as bad as he came across in his time here.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 Don't be ridiculous. Tadic is an inconsistent play maker. Like most play makers that aren't world class. Caulker is a diabolical defender with poor positioning, no pace and poor decision making who has been part of woeful defences for years and couldn't even challenge yoshida for first back up. Unbelievable that Liverpool want him. Beg to differ mate, Caulker is a good player (England cap etc) who is just having a poor run, he is young and will have dips in his form but I repeat Klopp is no fool. As for Tadic I am also questioning his mental strength so vital to succeed in the Premiership. If you are right on the other hand - and I don't think you are - then Liverpool are in big trouble because this would then be a monumental mistake.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 You know a player is ****e when ALWAYS_SFC isn't rushing to his defence. At last you`ve realised who talks sense

I find it amazing that many more on this forum give Targett stick when at least the kid gives his all. You may or may no be right Duncan, but given that Caulker was behind Yoshida in the pecking order the coaching staff would appear to disagree with you big time.
Dig Dig Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 Beg to differ mate, Caulker is a good player (England cap etc) who is just having a poor run, he is young and will have dips in his form but I repeat Klopp is no fool.

If you are right on the other hand - and I don't think you are - then Liverpool are in big trouble because this would then be a monumental mistake. It won't go down as a monumental mistake as he won't play as soon as their CB's are fit. Is Caulkers one England cap supposed to mean something about his ability? I guess it shouldn't surprise us to see Nugent on his way to Mersey side?
Lets B Avenue Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 I guess Caulker didn't fancy a third successive relegation on his C.V. Don't rule it out, just yet?

trousers Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 "Jürgen Klopp explains why Steven Caulker is a perfect fit for the Reds..."
Batman Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 (edited) Just goes to show that some stories in the media are not all bullsheet. No matter how bizarre they seem No one took this seriously before it was announced Edited 12 January, 2016 by Batman
Faz Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 Probably a shoe in for the next England squad now. Might put some money on it.......
Saint Fen Posted 12 January, 2016 Posted 12 January, 2016 Shocked that he has signed for Liverpool and Klopp. Caulker has been really poor when he has come in and worst of all which nobody has yet mentioned, is he just hits the ball long all the time which is very frustrating. He won't play much for Liverpool but will continually be one of these things players that signs for stuggling premiership sides in the future because he had a half decent season at Cardiff once and got capped by England.
