Really? wouldn't that be a step backwards?

I hope Super Al, Keith Millen, Damo and Scotty Dann can get him playing better than he did at QPR because he was sh1t in the Prem with them. Mind you, he had Rio Ferdinand blagging a year out of Redknapp's no imagination transfer policy. And he cost £8mil then. But now he'll be £5mil and has a point to prove, which is what we like to go for, rather than delusional types.

I think it would be a really good move, and good value, especially if Gayle goes to QPR as part of the deal. This would give us CB cover and Caulker could be the long term successor to Delaney. It would leave our striker dept pretty empty but I am sure Palace would prioritise getting two strikers in the January window

Well Gayle is worth at least £6mil and QPR want £5mil for Caulker. You cannot mould Gayle into a lone striker but you can mould a CB into a better one with a good partner or 2. The only thing we don't know is if Jimmy FH likes or wants Gayle. Does he like Campbell as well please?

Caulker has been his usual poor standard in the couple of games I've seen for The Saints.the 6-1 loss at St, Marys vs. Liverpool in the cup(at fault for 3 goals)he was shocking,Man City 3-1 loss(as sub)at fault for last goal. Been on the bench a few times. Consistently poor overthe last 3 seasons or so! Ollie's Dad,Ash.

Words you no doubt used when we signed Damo a few years ago.

As others have said, could be a real steal. Form is temporary, class is permanent. I trust Pards to get him back to his best.

Spot on. Bolasie and Delaney were both deemed crap at their previous clubs. Danns was relegated, so he must be crap too right?

 


If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

When we signed Damo and Bolasie when were near the bottom of the Championship. Aren't we looking for a bit more proven quality now? If he signs and plays well fantastic, I think he has been poor for a while now and is a big gamble.

How can you call him a "big gamble" when you have no idea what he'll cost? If we get him for a small fee, he's not going to be a gamble at all, is he?

Damo made his debut for us on October 4th 2012 against Burnley. The win took us to fourth place in the table. Is that "near the bottom" of the Championship these days?

Caulker is a former international and once very high quality prospect whose career has been derailed by playing for two simply awful clubs under clueless owners and managers. Yes, he hasn't shone. Want to name a single Cardiff or QPR player who has recently? The worst that can be said of him is that he's made some pretty poor decisions about who to join. Plus, he's still young. OK, he hasn't displaced Van Dijk or Fonte at Southampton but they're both quality players; that doesn't tell us he's not any good.

There is everything to like here. Experienced, talented, the right age but career a bit off track. He has exactly the sort of profile that often succeeds at Palace and he's really not likely to cost an awful lot.
