Not sure how reliable this is seeing as the board said they'd prefer no further transfers after Rickie till a manager was in place but there's lots of rumours going around on twitter that Caulker's been spotted on Staplewood.

Unfortunately, most kopites and journalists have come to the conclusion that this means Lovren is signing for Liverpool. Or maybe we just need some depth at CB?

I hope lovren isent leaving but signing caulker would be a great signing, he's young and English COYS

2.) 03 Jun 2014
Hopefully just a signing we need some depth there

It's more likely he's replacing Fonte than Lovren

Here's some wishful thinking.

Koeman has been told he has to integrate Osvaldo into the team otherwise we'll lose too much money on him.

With Lambert gone, and Lallana on his way it leaves Fonte who doesn't like Osvaldo. With Fonte replaced, Osvaldo may be accepted into the team easier?

Osvaldo never looked like scoring enough goals and he hasn't in Italy either.
We needed CB reinforcements and Caulker would give us greater depth and is on the fringe of England recognition.

I see hangeland from Fulham has been released, bit long in the tooth but could do a job for us

Agree Scriv31. Definitely take Hangeland. We need 4 decent CBs and he could be one of them. Wages would be manageable too.

Hope we get him and sign fonte up and keep lovren. Is caulker a possibility ED?

{Ed002's Note - I would think so.}

Think Caulker's overrated and overpriced, slow and clumsy. But just the mention of Saints actually bringing someone in is a welcome snippet of good news/gossip.

If he were a replacement for Lovren, though, that'd be poor - he's way short of that standard. A few seasons of playing alongside Lovren could be the making of him, however.

As for Osvaldo, if he comes back he comes back. The squad will just have to suck it up. He desperately needs a pre-season somewhere, whether at Saints or elsewhere. Never looked sharp all season, at Saints or Juve.

Hangerland was pants when I watched Fulham vs Saints back in April. Certainly no better than Jos Hoiveldt. He always seemd undecided whether to stay and defend the box or come out to meet the attacking player, and got caught in between the two - gave JayRod way too much attacking space.

Only things I could see on twitter about Caulker having medical with us is from Liverpool fans, then most saying 'guess we've got Lovren then'. Prob made up.
