Anything above 8m would be amazing.

That's our transfer budget right there , to get us back up next season

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

I'll drive him there for that money. Good defender no doubt but has flaws to his game and needed an experienced centre half along side him and not expected to lead the line himself. Not a captain right now either but he will certainly improve a lot in the future if he goes to a club like Liverpool

if 50% of the profit was what it took then that's fine with me, 15m means we get 11.5m. that would be absolutely fine with me

Tue Apr 29, 2014 9:16 pm

Unfortunately tottenham are all over it.
we will hardly profit from a sale of 15m im sure there is a huge sell on clause

It is if we get even less for what we've paid for him. Looks good for us in reality but we're giving money back to Spurs. I would rather them just buy him off us rather than take a massive chunk of whoever we sell them too.

Fabio has been decent and so has Daehli. Cala hit and miss but we've seen talent. Not to mention they were signed for considerably less, 3.5m at most for all 3

Its 50% of profit. So if we only get back what we paid Spurs get nothing. So if its £15 million spurs get £3.75 million whilst we £11.25 million.

Edit: So in turn we will never make profit on him so your correct its shit business

Ideally, I'd like to see him stay, with us playing in the premier league. But 15mill goes a fair way in the championship... If in fact we do get 15mill for him, and that Money does go towards transfers.

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.


To start with....Caulker only came to Cardiff for game time as he was not getting it at spurs and he needed to be in any team in the PL that would make him a regular first team choice. He used Cardiff as a shop window for International benefits.
Secondly he has not done spectacular at Cardiff. He has been ok and yes he will definitely go this summer. He may go to Liverpool but I have a feeling he is more likely to go to a team like Swansea Newcastle Everton Southampton as Liverpool will be looking for bigger defensive players.

I don't think he is worth £15 million though. Can you see any of the mentioned teams paying out 15 million for a CB? when they would be stretching to pay that amount for a striker. Especially Swansea. They don't throw their money around like our club. That's why we are in the shit and they are sitting pretty with no debt, a well run club (apart from a few silly fights in training when the passion and competitiveness shows its head.

I see Caulker going for between £9 mill to 10 mill maximum
just look at the transfer market . I am being generous as he is only worth 6.600.000 £ there look>

Some of what you say makes sense. I can see those clubs going for him, although Swansea may not just because of pride.

His transfer fee is likely to be in excess of £7m, but again I agree that £15m is striker territory for mid to low table PL clubs.

He has played well in a Cardiff shirt and don't forget that pearl of a header against the run of play at jaaaaaklaaaand!

I suppose the bare facts are that he wanted exposure as well as game time, but you imply he did this for personal gain alone, which is a bit harsh. His loyalty has not been in question and to be honest, if the rest of the defence (Marshall excepted) had show as much commitment and balls, we may nit have conceded so many goals.

My guess on his value would be around £8m. I'd take that.

Noone has great potential and he has caught the eye of a few clubs I'm sure. However, why hasn't he had more game time? That will colour his resale value. I do think we should make every effort to keep him next year as he is definitely top drawer for Championship if the worst comes to the worst.

If I was Noone, I'd think carefully about going to a bigger club. How much time would he spend on the pitch? Ask Scott Sinclair how he enjoyed warming the bench for the Manx!

He never had many games left to play when Ole took over but I guarantee you if he played from the beginning of season, He would now be worth 2.5 million as he would have proven his worth in PL. the transfer market values Craig at 1.8 m at the moment so we would make£750,000 profit if we sell him for 2.5 and that my friend is good business.

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.


To start with....Caulker only came to Cardiff for game time as he was not getting it at spurs and he needed to be in any team in the PL that would make him a regular first team choice. He used Cardiff as a shop window for International benefits.
Secondly he has not done spectacular at Cardiff. He has been ok and yes he will definitely go this summer. He may go to Liverpool but I have a feeling he is more likely to go to a team like Swansea Newcastle Everton Southampton as Liverpool will be looking for bigger defensive players.

I don't think he is worth £15 million though. Can you see any of the mentioned teams paying out 15 million for a CB? when they would be stretching to pay that amount for a striker. Especially Swansea. They don't throw their money around like our club. That's why we are in the shit and they are sitting pretty with no debt, a well run club (apart from a few silly fights in training when the passion and competitiveness shows its head.

I see Caulker going for between £9 mill to 10 mill maximum
just look at the transfer market . I am being generous as he is only worth 6.600.000 £ there look>

Some of what you say makes sense. I can see those clubs going for him, although Swansea may not just because of pride.

His transfer fee is likely to be in excess of £7m, but again I agree that £15m is striker territory for mid to low table PL clubs.

He has played well in a Cardiff shirt and don't forget that pearl of a header against the run of play at jaaaaaklaaaand!

I suppose the bare facts are that he wanted exposure as well as game time, but you imply he did this for personal gain alone, which is a bit harsh. His loyalty has not been in question and to be honest, if the rest of the defence (Marshall excepted) had show as much commitment and balls, we may nit have conceded so many goals.

My guess on his value would be around £8m. I'd take that.

£8m? That is a bit mean surely. I mean I am sure his stock went up slightily more than that. I would say minimum 8.5 to 9m being more realistic.

Ok then Willie what about noone then? How much can we get for him and what prem team would grab him?



Noone has great potential and he has caught the eye of a few clubs I'm sure. However, why hasn't he had more game time? That will colour his resale value. I do think we should make every effort to keep him next year as he is definitely top drawer for Championship if the worst comes to the worst.

If I was Noone, I'd think carefully about going to a bigger club. How much time would he spend on the pitch? Ask Scott Sinclair how he enjoyed warming the bench for the Manx!

Noone is worth more than 2.5 IMHO. He has performed well when given the chance. He has been featured on MOTD as a player to watch. I'd say at least ask for £4m.

That, my friend, is better business!!!
