So the Guardian is reporting that Fulham, Cardiff and Norwich are planning to sue the PL for not deducting points from Sunderland re: Ji Dong-won.

Does this end in giant payouts to shut people up?

Cardiff will probably never been seen again. I take a great amount of pleasure in that

Time to start picking the corpses of Fulham and Cardiff. Apparently Rodgers likes Caulker, depending on how many CBs Liverpool lose this summer I wouldn't mind him.

Idk he's always been a useful player and it seems like he's matured since he left Arsenal. He'd be better than yaya loving sanogo right now and he's apparently dirt cheap.

He usually plays coming in from the right, so 40 goals and 27 assists in 3 La Liga campaigns is very good

I love La Liga tbp and I can say that Carlos Vela is in no way good enough for Arsenal.

This season he had 1 insane match where he scored 4 goals, rest of his goal has come against clubs in the bottom of the league table

Rodgers has also said that he wants 4 or 5 players this summer. I can see us signing a CB, LB, DM, LW/RW and ST, but really apart from a left back they'd all be backups. Caulker would probably replace Toure in the pecking order and I think he'd do a decent job. I'm also fairly confident Rodgers would get the best out of him.

I'm wary of this idea that Rodgers turns overlooked young talent into gold tbh. Sturridge is the exception right now, need a few more pieces of evidence before we start buying every club's Micah Richards.

Big Sanogo is only 21 and has shown some decent promise, to be fair. And they are two very different kinds of players. One being who gives a poo poo, the other being the kind to leave his passport at the hotel.

Not sold on Micah Richards either.

Rodgers has helped Henderson and Sterling hit their full potential and whatever he did to Flanno is basically sorcery.

But still, we paid a shitload for Henderson and Sterling was one if the biggest prospects in England. Flanagan hasn't convinced me yet, he was not very good when he first started playing for the first team and there are all these stats about how he's the most beaten fullback in the league or whatever.

Caulker's hardly overlooked young talent, he's England's best young defender. Spurs fans were pretty bemused when he got sold.

It's Cahill, but yeah I agree about bemusement I couldn't understand why they'd rather have Younes Kaboul.

Rodgers has done amazing jobs with Sturridge, Hendo, Sterling, Flanagan, and Allen (arguably). We may have paid a fair bit of money for these players, and I suspect we'll probably pay too much for Caulker (seeing as he's English), but you can't deny he's done fantastically well with the young British talent at the club.

It's not a far gone conclusion by any means, but I do like the idea of building a team that can challenge for the top with a strong British contingent.

Caulker being sold basically came down to AVB not thinking that he was fast enough for the high line system he wanted to play. Same reason he tried to ship out Dawson.

Levy will probably buy back Caulker this summer.
