T’interwebs seem to be awash with talk of our old pals, and Northern Satellite club being back in for yet another one of our players (kind of).
It appears that Jurgen is keen to shore up his defence, so wants…Steven Caulker?
Liverpool’s search for central defensive reinforcement has led them to Queens Park Rangers’ Steven Caulker, who they want on loan for the rest of the season.
Caulker is Currently on a season-long loan at Southamptonbut has struggled to secure a regular place in Ronald Koeman’s side and could have the move terminated this month if, as Liverpool hope, QPR agree to another temporary deal.
The 24-year-old, who began his career at Tottenham Hotspur, has not played forSouthampton since they were beaten 6-1 by Liverpool in the Capital One Cup quarter-final.
Jürgen Klopp lost all four of his established central defenders to injury for Friday’s FA Cup tie at Exeter City – Martin Skrtel, Dejan Lovren, Mamadou Sakho and Kolo Touré. Both Touré and Sakho are expected to be fit for Arsenal’s visit to Anfield on Wednesday but the Liverpool manager is keen for experienced cover given the club’s on-going injury problems.
I just don’t get it. I thought it was odd when we signed him.
Considering our defence has been piss poor all season, and he can’t even get n our piss poor defence (fite me Virgil-ista’s), why the fuck do Liverpool want him?
Also, they know by mentioning this, that Mr Caulker will be unsettled or even more unsettled and of course want to go to the mighty Liverpool.
I fucking hate the so called top clubs in the English league, as this is just out and out not playing ball fairly and using their ‘big club’ muscle, to obtain what they require unfairly. I think it is called tapping up!
It was only the other day that Koeman was saying that Caulker would be seeing out his loan period. I can only guess that they have had a rethink and have decided to use the money better elsewhere. It does leave us with the Yoshi problem though if either VvD or Fonte get crocked.
