CITY IN TALKS TO SELL STAR PLAYER FOR £15MILL ?

viewtopic.php?f=2&t=140620

I heard this afternoon that Liverpool are in talks with City over Steven Caulker.

I know there has been a lot of press speculation about Caulker and clubs including Liverpool have been linked to him but the chap who told me reckons that Liverpool and City are discussing a deal worth £15m.

Personally I am not 100% certain that this is bang on information or just a story that is doing the rounds because of recent press speculation but it does throw up a few questions.

Is Steven Caulker a player you would expect to sell for £15m after signing just a season ago for £8m, also would you think that a deal that much is something City should not turn down ?

One thing that is definite in my opinion and that it is good business by City if they do indeed get £15m for a player that will undoubtedly be looking to move on to strengthen his hopes to play for England on a regular basis.

Carl, Caulker will def be leaving City and Liverpool are favourites to sign him.

£15 Mill I would without a doubt accept it. :thumbup:

Bite their hand off at that much, terrible leader, average defender, good goal scorer.

15 million, I was hoping someone would offer double what we paid, cash in..

Hopefully Ole brings in 1 or 2 centre backs, he has had a blinder with Cala.

Don't spurs get half of any money recieved over 10 million?

Re: CITY IN TALKS TO SELL STAR PLAYER FOR £15MILL ?

Snap that up. He's not even worth the 8 we paid in my opinion another example of overpriced English players

Re: CITY IN TALKS TO SELL STAR PLAYER FOR £15MILL ?

£15m :laughing6:

No way would anyone pay that for him. Average PL defender going on this season.

Take it.

We'll be lucky to get 6m

Say what you want about Caulker, what do you expect from a CB playing in a newly promoted team in their first season, virtually impossible to make name for yourself in our team.

Marshall has done it but hes just been a superhero this season.

That was my reaction too :laughing6:

But he was adamant that they are in talks over a deal worth £15m.

I laughed when someone told me that Joe Allen was going for £15m as well but we know how that turned out.

The fact that Rodgers paid £15m for Joe just makes it all the less likely that he would pay £15m for Caulker as he wouldn't want to make the same mistake twice.

There is no way Liverpool will blow 15 mill on Caulker for a Champions league season. No way :D

Spurs receive 50% of any sell on so 7.5 million at most .

Another under-performer this season and over rated. Let him go a.s.a.p. :thumbup: :wave:

No they don't. There's no clause linking him to Spurs in his contract.

Yet he seemed to make a name for himself as a teenager playing in his first season of top flight football.

Have you seen Rodger's signings at Liverpool?

Apart from Coutinho and Sturridge they're absolutely pathetically awful!

Swansea are better than us, had a good defender alongside him to help him.

15m would be stupid. would obviously have to accept it regardless of the division we are in

Correct, 50% of the profit only.

Simon Lim wrote up the contract.

He is far too young to be captain of a pl team. Always looked at his best alongside ash they were a perfect fit. The added pressure of leading a pl side and a side in a bit of turmoil was never going to help his game.
