Would prefer Dawson over Caulker
This - in reverse.
I'm with Silvertop on this one.

Caulker was born in Feltham and supported Brentford so its possible that he grew up loathing the Queer Park Strangers which could tip it in our favour.

The Caulker situation is becoming a bit boring now.
It looks like he's holding out for either a better financial deal by those clubs that have met Cardiff's valuation ( i.e. us and QPR ), or he's waiting for ' bigger ' clubs to come along.
I hope TP has another target in mind if he thinks that we need another centre back.

Agreed. Does look to me like he is trying to stall while hoping one of the big(ger) boys come in for him.
Which to be fair is completely reasonable given we are only in mid-July and most of the deals won't be done for several weeks.
I think he would be a good addition. I'm not -a huge fan but he is obviously a talented centre-back and would form a good partnership. It seems a little unfair on Delaney who was very good last season but I think Dann and Caulker would be a pairing that most attackers would not want to come up against.

I hate Brighton but if the weeds offered me £20k a week more than I'm on now then I'd probably be tempted !

I hate to say it but I can't see him coming to us. Clubs agreed a fee weeks ago so we must have talked to the lad and yet he's still undecided. I guess he wants a bigger club or more money, step in QPR to offer him loads of money. As for Dawson over Caulker; Dawson's best days are behind him, he's 30, so Caulker is a much better option.

We allegedly like to leave transfers until the last minute in the hope that we can force the prices down so it's not really any different to a player leaving decisions as long as possible to force his own price up

Did you say the same thing last November when Tony Pulis took his time to agree to join us?

Yet the top six clubs are falling over themselves to spend huge amounts of money on players who according to you have their best days behind them

Unfortunately I have a feeling he's going to go to QPR. You'd have thought he would have joined by now after the reports at the weekend. He clearly isn't that excited to join us, and to be honest no matter how good he is, if he doesn't want to be here then I don't really want him here.

Same could be said about him joining them though. Why hasn't he signed with qpr yet?

My guess is that he is either waiting to see if Ferdinand signs for QPR, or if a bigger team like Southampton or Liverpool come in for him. I just hope that if that's the case, the club turn their attention to other targets. No point wasting our time if he doesn't want to come here, use that time to identify and sign other targets.

Wow, have I rattled your cage lol.
Can't remember if I said the same about TP, if I did you have a better memory than me.
I said Caulker was a better option than Dawson cos Dawson is 30, when and where have I ever mentioned anyone who any of the top 6 ckubs are after, so therefore I can't have mentioned any players who are past it.

Always surprises me how long these things drag on at Palace. Elsewhere the clubs make an offer, agree terms and its all done and dusted in 48 hours from when it was leaked. At Palace 3/4 weeks later and its still going.

It's like it at every club. Look at Chelsea signing Costa, real chasing Bale, Barca signing Fabregas, Utd signing Fellaini. I could go on and on.

Because they're like kids on the build up to their birthday and instead of being patient for their presents they think moaning on a messageboard will get them given to them earlier.

It's not like that at every club. Steve Bruce wanted Livermore and signed him a couple of weeks ago. Steve Bruce also wanted Robert Snodgrass and also signed him a couple of weeks ago.
No-one is "getting in a state" over our lack of signings but it's human nature to want the team strengthened and to express an element of impatience if nothing seems to be happening, especially if the targets that we are allegedly interested are being snapped up elsewhere

What wages are Hull throwing at players though?
If we offered Caulker £62k a year instead of thee £42k a year chances are he'd be our player by now.
