Just out of interest the mate.
What would you do in this scenario?
I get we need cover mate so signing someone is a must, when it gets to the point that Lucas is seriously being considered as a starting CB then we know we're at a point of crisis.
Having said that I just can't see Caulker being the best available, I honestly think we've done it again like the Sanchez situation. We've put all our eggs in that basket and then become desperate and rang around to see whatever is available we'll have it.
I don't follow enough footy to know a team with 4 decent CBs who are out of cup competitions and therefore not heavily reliant on back up but there must be some out there. Or even very promising youngster with a top club that needs game time, Caulker seems weak as an option to be bringing in.
To me there's probably more merit in promoting one of our own youth players or sticking Can back there (who admittedly was pretty poor at RB but I think would be a better CB).
