Steven Caulker

[navbasi]

Some of their fans were getting right pissy saying stuff like 'he didn't want to get relegated again'. Fucking hell like, they were in league 2 less than half a decade ago, you think they would have some gratitude and humility.

 

So yes, they are indeed bad bellends. Caulker is well shit though, he was atrocious in that league cup tie and the 6-3 at Cardiff a few years when he let Suarez bundle him over for his hat trick.

Suarez made many a CB look atrocious.

[navbasi]

Wasn't Lloyd Jones meant to be the more talented Jones? Whatever happened to him?

He's injured at the moment otherwise he would defo have played on Friday.

[Stickman]

Didn't Klopp ask the committee I want my first signing to be a corker....obviously got lost in translation.

[Ne Moe Imya]

How is Caulker a better option that Subotic?

 

Have you seen Subotic play recently?

 

He was very poor last season.  Did his knee a couple of years ago, now has back problems, and when he's on the pitch he seems to have lost whatever it was he had a few seasons back.  

 

He was excellent under Klopp in those Bundesliga-winning seasons, but that time is a long time ago.  Caulker isn't amazing, he isn't even good but at least he has a shot at being decent.  If you ask me, I think those days are over for Subotic.

He's already my favourite player

[aRdja]

I support Liverpool FC, not Caulker FC.

I think this is pretty good business - done quick, painless and no strings. Should have a minimal buyout if he comes good.

He is a big fella with some pace and has a good amount of experience in the league. Would prefer him to either Toure or Ilori at the moment so whats not to like?

[Em City]

Suarez made many a CB look atrocious.

 

Origi and many others have given him the run around too.

 

The omens don't favour us I'm afraid.

Another player who isn't good enough to play for us, is going to play for us.

[Gym Beglin]

We'll continue to leak goals at an alarming rate until the point at which we give the opposition cause for concern that we are a threat to their goal.

 

If I was the manager of an opposition team I'd utilise a 2-4-4 formation against us and let my two defenders and keeper deal with the threat of our 'outstanding' attacking players.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

What are his hamstrings like?

He didn't seem quick when I saw him, must have been the night after on the ale that slowed him down. His wiki says he was 400m champion or something. He moves a bit like Benteke. He could actually teach Benteke how to head a ball as that seems his strength in the air. Hopefully Klopp can get him fit with some hard training.

Why wouldn't you just play your normal football and beat us, as opposed to use a formation never used before by any team? It's not like we're that difficult to beat at the moment.

[Kevin D]

In my experience when we sign a player as 4th, or 5th, choice, it always goes really, really well.

[Grinch]

He's utterly wank.  No point pretending otherwise.   

 

The Southampton 6-1 thread will show people's true opinion on him.

[Paulie Dangerously]

Exciting young player who's career has derailed a bit after a move.  Fits the FSG personnel MO

[Denny Crane]

In my experience when we sign a player as 4th, or 5th, choice, it always goes really, really well.

It generally starts off like this. He's only backup and will only play a handful of games, stop moaning you whinging cunts. Followed by he needs to be matchfit it's tricky for a backup. Followed by why did we sell..... followed by get rid of the moneygrabbing cunt and play Mark Lawrenson.

I watched that game and had no idea he was playing.

 

That said, there were another 10 Southampton players on the pitch that day, and as Davis and Clasie both got the hook and not Caulker, I think Koeman thought the problems were not with his centre backs, Caulker and Van Dijk.

He was directly at fault for at least two of the goals.

How come we keep having players who are not good enough to play for us, play for us?

How good do you have to be to play for an 8th placed team?

If he is the best option at the moment - and he will be -  I have no problem with it - really says more about our situation than any comment on Caulker.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

He's far from an ideal signing, but we've got 5 games in 14 days and the choices are either use midfielders as CBs, rush players back so they likely get re-injured, or look to see who's fit and available at ridiculously short notice.

 

If he can cover for just a couple of those games, we'll have a far better chance of getting first choices back for games like Utd and the league cup semi.

 

It is what it is, a desperate move when we're low on options. If we get through to the league cup final, get past Exeter and beat Utd though, it'll have served its purpose.

Maybe because we have an average scouting team? Who knows... But I say we break that trend! Signing Caulker isn't a step in the right direction though.

They conceded 6.

Maybe ask Willian or Miktharyan why.
