To quote CPFCDAN's original post...."It feels good to be a Palace fan right now, there’s no point trying to hide it."
I also enjoy posting on: Love Everton Forum, the Acceptable Face of Scouse Football. |

£8m that's a lot of money for a bench warmer, from what I saw of him last season both home and away, he is nowhere near as good as the two centre backs we already have, he doesn't have the physical presence of Delaney, or Tactical awareness and ball control of Dann.

He's 6'3"! It's a shame Pulis is such a rubbish judge of players!!! Edited by salop-eagle (12 Jul 2014 7.22am)

Caulker + Dann + Ward = Englands back line Euro 2016 Bit of a stretch, if those 3 played for a top 4 club then it would definitely be a yes
So I manage a Workshop which provides a safe learning environment for blokes struggling with PTSD and other mental health issues. Being a Palace fan isn't listed yet. |

He is obviously a top drawer talent and under pulis would naturally thrive. It's just that I would hate to see one of our centre backs dropped after such a good season. And let's face it, it's gonna be Delaney. Perhaps TP may try DD at left back? I know he played there early in his career. Probably not.

I wouldn't be happy with £8m being shed on him. He melted last season after quite a good start for cardiff.

I'm itching for this deal to be done & dusted.

Remember too that he had the pressure of being the captain in a struggling team, and a club with all sorts of off the field issues. That must have had a lot of media pressure on him, at just 22. He won't have those problems here as Jedi is the leader on and off the pitch, so Caulker can just concentrate on his football. Under a far better defensive coach than OGS, he could really develop and shine. I agree would be harsh on DD, but bringing in Dann was harsh on Gabbi, but it was the right thing to do in the long run. Pulis is paid to make these tough decisions. Yes its £8m, but I think he'll be a good addition. Hope we get it done.

Please everyone: just a note of caution. I too would be chuffed to bits if this happens and proud the we have got ourselves into this financial position to spend that sort of money on one player. But 1. I don't trust Harry and the boys. They could still scupper this deal. You are all talking as though it's be confirmed.

Don't forget, Scott Dann had been in two relegated teams before joining us, so on paper could have had his credentials doubted in the same way... Hopefully (IF he joins), Caulker's talent will out too
George Courtney, the World Cup referee, everyone is looking at him. When will he blow....? |
