    Ill-fated: Former England star Caulker in July
    ]
    Southampton boss Ronald Koeman is ready to cut short the season-long loan of Queens Park Rangers' England defender Steven Caulker.
    Caulker, who cost the Hoops £8million last year, has made only one Premier League start since arriving as a potential central-defensive partner to Jose Fonte.
    But soon afterwards, Koeman also snapped up fellow Dutchman Virgil van Dijk from Celtic, leaving Caulker out of contention and used only in Cup competitions.
    Southampton see no point in keeping the 24-year-old ex-Tottenham and Cardiff player, other than as occasional cover.
    Koeman will make his decision when the transfer window reopens on Saturday and he considers his options.

    It actually says:
    "Koeman will make his decision when the transfer window reopens on Saturday and he considers his options."

    There's a good player in there somewhere. Perhaps JFH can bring him out.

    Yeah but as he has more than three brain cells he'll almost certainly look to get rid

    I still think there's a half decent player in there trying to get out

    He's had a few chances to show it, and not. Maybe Armand Traore has the other half.

    Sounds like a lot of the players we buy unfortunately we never seem able to find where it is.

    Well on the bright side, at least he missed out on the pre-Christmas booze up bash this year.

    £40,000-a-week England defender Steven Caulker 'left with blood pouring from his head' after Christmas party brawl in London pub
    • Queens Park Rangers defender needed hospital treatment for the head injury
    • Footballer, 22, had been at Christmas party with QPR and Crystal Palace stars
    • Reports suggest a brawl unfolded at a pub in Wandsworth, south west London
    • There have been claims that a row started between footballers and drinkers
    • Fellow QPR star Joey Barton was said to have acted as a peacemaker
    • QPR have denied Mr Caulker's injury was the result of being involved in a fight
    • Police confirm they were called to a 'disturbance' at the pub on Sunday night
    • No arrests have been made after brawl but an investigation is continuing

    Yeh, someone told him he'd have to look after & defend the younger players in the team if there was any trouble so he did his usual thing and went MIA.

    I believe that what is actually planned is that Saints will return him to QPR, QPR will return him to Cardiff, Cardiff to Spurs, and Spurs intend to hand him back to his mum.

    There have been a few Clubs supposedly after him according to various media outlets, on either loan or buy deals. My memory is probaby about as reliable, but I think I read Palace, Villa, Leicester and Norwich were among them. I do remember being shocked that the media were throwing PL Club names about, and not ambitious Pub and Prison outfits.

    You said it exactly how I wanted to say it.
    Send that Flower back from whence he came. Stuff a CORKer up him and send him packing.
