Caulker?

Sun Jun 04, 2023 1:24 pm

Ex Cardiff player, played in Turkey for Bulut, 31 years old and out of contract.


Seems a more than likely one to me

A lot of people say don't go back for ex players and to some extent I agree.

However he'd certainly be a better option than Denham and Simpson imo. Seeing as we can't buy players we've got to upgrade the squad one way or another and I think he would as a squad player.

The fact that we could shove Ng back to full back would be another plus.

I'm better than Simpson and I'm 60 with two bad knees.

Agree.

He has mental health problems which knocked his career. But it could be a massive boost for him to come back, he loved it here.
Might be what's needed and get a good player as an outcome.

I'd welcome it on the right contract.

I urge you to listen to his "undr the cosh" podcast. He seems to be in a good place nowadays, but what a jaw dropping podcast!

Could probably educate some of the younger players on off field matters as well as defending too.

I agree, the podcast told us a lot about his mental health and how a lot of the team gave up in that season

Not sure he’s up to it anymore but would love for him to come back and prove me wrong. Also he seems to be of the opinion that a lot of our fans didn’t rate him? Didn’t slag us off or anything though - quite the opposite.
