Just seen Steven Caulker has been released. Would be a great addition if we were able to get him but I think he would prefer to join up with Brenda.

I agree that he would be worth a punt. The guy has had his personal problems and lost his way a bit but only a few years ago he was in the England squad and sold for 8m by Spurs. He's still young and has a lot to prove. I personally like Cardoso and think he should get a chance before Bates. He's decent on the ball and was getting more used to the physicality of the Scottish game before Bowman smashed him.

Agreed! I also like Cardoso and was thinking he was starting to get settled into the game before his injury. I have no idea why he never gets played.

Agree about Cardoso. I can see a good player in there. But then Wilson has been playing well and really Alves must be played. I'd actually play the 3 of them on Saturday

The problem with Cardoso is that he's a bit chicken-hearted trying to be brave. Twice I have watched him pump his fist after winning fairly ordinary tackles, which suggests that he saw this as some success he's not used to. When he is challenging, the summoning up of courage is almost visible in him. I'm not sure he'll ever get there. Caulker is a mountain and if he gets himself straightened out he's young enough to fight his way back to the very top. I'd take the gamble on him.
