Caulker's story isn't that different from many of the current squad. Cast off by other teams, didn't quite make it. Depends how much he has to prove

Of the current squad I can think of Bolasie, Delaney, and even Zaha was discarded as being not up to it. Furthermore, a couple of our best buys over the last few years have been Jedi (hardly well known) and Ward (ditto). I think some will only be happy when we are consistently linked with the likes of Bonucci, Chiellini, and Pique, etc. If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

He appears to lack the mental fortitude that we need. Failed at QPR, Southampton and Liverpool. Of course if Chielini is interested........... the dignified don't even enter in the game

Only 24 and look at all the Premier League clubs that have had him: Tottenham Hotspur Swansea City Cardiff City Queens Park Rangers Southampton Liverpool Not one of them wanted to keep him...surely that tells you something about his ability. Always thought Kyle Bartley at Swansea looked alright when I've seen him, admittedly he's not their first choice, so could be wrong. And depending on what Liverpool do, Joe Gomez could be worth a bid or at least loan approach.

How would we feel about a sraight swap for Caulker with our very own 'much about nothing', to reduce our exposure to QPR rejects?

How would we feel about a sraight swap for Caulker with our very own 'much about nothing', to reduce our exposure to QPR rejects? We need cover and competition for places at centre back. Mutch failed to establish himself in a midfield area we were already well stocked in. I don't rate Caulker any more than I do Mutch but positionally it makes sense. But why would QPR want Mutch back ? Old, Ungifted and White

Well worth a punt - I was also unsure about Mutch. However, both of these are good squad players and could become first teamers? With Mutch he looked out of place when playing behind the main forward. Thought he looked promising when playing central midfield. Caulker could become a great central pairing with Dann. I'm sure Delaney starts before him for at least one more season. We shall see? At least its competition and a much better replacement than Mariappa. And Kelly is not a centre half in case anyone mentions it ;-)

If we can get his head right off the pitch, then he can still be a hell of a player. QPR must love us though. 'Who do we need off the books, oh yeah him, let's give Palace a call'
