At just 24 I think this is a solid signing for cover for Dann/Delaney. Would rather have him as backup than an aging Hangeland and Mariappa and at a cost of between 4.5 mill and 6.5 mill he is cheap in todays market with potential to get better and at least retain his value I'd be hoping for a permanent replacement for Damo. No doubt a solid defender my concern is that he goes for the long ball out of defence. Mariappa was doin the same when he came on in the Final. Personally I feel we need to play/run the ball out as much as possible. Looking at us this season we have been ineffective through the middle. Strengthen the spine of the team and I think we will see some improvement, goalie, centre back, attacking midfielder/strikers, all ball players.

Point taken but I see it a bit like what I felt we should have done with Wickham/Murray. We have a proven partnership with Dann and Damo, we can try Caulker there, ease him in a bit, if he looks shaky or he just doesn't work out then we can revert back to Dann/Damo.

Think this would be an excellent signing if it comes off, just the sort of signing we should be making. You don't interest the scouts of as many top flight clubs as he's been at without being able to play. Young and English too big thumbs up.

I'm sorry but 6.5 million is too much for player that has a) struggled for 1st team football in two premiership sides last season I mean we got Scott Dann for far less than that.

I don't think we're paying £6.5m out right. Part of it will be based on appearances / performance etc..

Struggles a bit on the turn, a bit heavy-legged at times.Supported Brentford as a boy.

I'm happy if he joins, he'll want to get games and will, no mug. It's definitely a signing that feels like a plus.
