If you do I think you need to raise your standards!!

He's the archetypal squad man...versatility and a brilliant attitude, not the star, improving year on year, and not moaning! A very valuable member of the squad and todays game is more about the squad than the team over the course of a season.

Idiot!!!

We sold one to Arsenal for more....

So about £10.5m....probably fair in today's market.

My guess is Alan McLaughlin?!!

Thank god you're not picking the team. Wow.

Happy with this signing albeit for a season, but hopefully it will turn into a longer stay. If we add VVD as suggested then we will be very strong at CB and there will be at least one more player elsewhere too by the sounds of it. Good times.

I think Caulker would be a decent acquisition bit hope he's not the main CB signing. At Spurs he gained rave reviews before AVB decided to ship him out - clearly he wanted different players - and then played every minute for Cardiff. Redknapp then bought him for QPR not in itself a testament to his ability but had Redknapp remained at Spurs it's not to far a stretch to suggest that Caulker would be established and probably for England. He has talent and working with Koeman may well be the making of him. He is only 23 and so still to enter his footballing prime.

If getting VVD and Chester costs c.£20m I would think that is good business. Overall we would be really strong in a vital position. Financially we would then of spent less than £40m on 5 players plus the loan of Stekelenburg and sold two for a similar figure. Fonte as good as he has been probably has 2 possibly 3 years at his peak left and will over that time become a little bit less important therefore VVD and Chester will get better in all likelihood in the same time and Gardis and Stephens should have more improvement too. Great business for now and the coming seasons.

meh:lol:

Carry on posting...just provide more reasons and points for debate...no one wants to read a list of "hopes".....do they?!!!

Well done for sharing your pointless thoughts. A back-up keeper to the back-up keeper (Stekelenburg) or a back up to the back-up to the back-up (Davis) or a back-up to the back-up to the back-up (Gazzaniga)????????? Clueless. What you're actually saying is that you do not think any of them are good enough to take over from Fraser but clearly the club do. Obviously we are after a CB otherwise we would not have made an effort to get Alderwerield. Some of you should learn to control what moves from your head to this forum!!!

I read / saw that its £44m up front with the rest as add-ons, so does that mean QPR get 20% of £44m (8. leaving Liverpool with just £2.7m?!!! Straight swap really......

20000 and counting...

Good post. He is clearly a good player and has been very important for us but I think those results prove that our team is evolving and becoming less reliant on one or two exceptional players and a stronger all round team who also have the belief that they can win when the perceived best player is not in the team unlike we have been used to. Clasie will bring us a different dimension in terms of passing and I think in terms of speed of ball movement and hopefully help our speedier front men. #wemarchon

Spurs fan and Class....not possible.

I think the problem for Morgan and for us is that he is a very good player who probably hasnt reached his peak yet but may not have much improvement left and is not a regular starting international. This means that there are others who are as good or better and I think its unlikely that a foreign club will be willing to pay any more than 15-20m for him. Therefore unless Arsenal, Man U, Chelsea or City are willing to pay 25m+ we seem unlikely to sell. I hope he goes and we get thst sort of miney and buy a couple to replace him - Clasie and Wijnuldrum (or whatever his name is) seem like the ideal scenario!

The fact is that they are a bigger club than us but they are not as big as they think they are!! Apart from perhaps the odd season or two here and there we will one of the big 4 or 6. Based on our fanbase /capacity we have less chance of breaking into that group than clubs like Everton, Leeds, Newcastle and Sunderland but based on our Academy and business strategy we seem to have a much better opportunity than them at this time. As such unless we had a fanbase of 40-50k who we knew for sure would turn up every week we do not need that size ground and therefore we are limited in some regard. Our way of progressing and attempting to have that one or two good season is by training our own, selling the odd one or three for very decent money and by buying players who are devloping s othat for 2-3 years we get them and then sell to fuel the whole process and on it goes. This my friends is our reality....

£20m plus Janazaj?

Excellent!

obviously not

bertrand out for a few weeks so this guy is cover for three defensive positions according to RK

Depends how much they want to spend. All this concern we have ni money is ridiculous. Simple maths tells you that.

Exactly. Not confirmed BY the club. As I said. Clueless.
