Caulker And Fontaine.

Both really reassuring to having in the centre. It's a strange feeling to have after recent years.

After Stead our best 2 performers tonight.

Immense, and I still can't believe the Tottenham lad is still 18, what a player he is going to be............

his vision was excellent tonight, star of the future but with spurs back four at the moment i think he'll probably return next week!

Caulker was awesome, what a player he will be, I wonder what it would take for us to sign him permanently?

Thought he played fantastically tonight, won absolutley everything in the air. Is a huge talent and would love to see us sign him permanently.

Caulker was excellent. Fontaine was a bit dodgy, some poor decision making got him caught out a couple of times.

caulker is the best defender we have had for years. i think he won everything in the air that he went for. Can we have one for Christmas?

Totally agree, he won everything, got a bright future ahead of him in the prem, hopefully with city

Caulker looks very good indeed and I'll eat my scarf if he doesn't end up being a top centre back in the Prem in years to come.

This is the player SL should be throwing a 2 million offer at. You don't have to know too much about football to see he will have a big future. Whether he would want to join is another matter.

Unfortunately for City thats the bottom line. Caulker, Spurs and his agent know that he's an upcoming star and if Spurs do let him go it'll be to another PL club.

For such a young lad he's a remarkable player.

I agree as well looks a fantastic player would love to see him sign for us

He won't join us permanently. To be honest, why would he want to? He looks like a future England player to me, so I am sure his future will be in the Premier League. Delighted he's here with us for now though.

Amazing for an 18 yr old -- but whilst he is with us he is showing that the club must be looking for a replacement for him sooner rather than later who is lined up to take over. we cannot go scrambling for talent when he could suddenly be recalled to Spurs.

I said after tuesday i wasn't sure about Caulker and Fontaine together as centre backs, i'l give it a few more games before i retract that statement but after last night i think i may be eating humble pie

Caulker is amazing, shame that Tottenham wont sell !

i think caulker is bringing out the best in fontaine. fo taine can focus more on his game knowing caulkers going to win the first header

Both really reassuring to having in the centre. It's a strange feeling to have after recent years.

The team on the whole look as if they are believing in themselves at last, Fontaine looked very assured, Caulker won 98% of all aerial attacks into the box, it really is hard to believe he's only 18!

What a pity he has to go back to Spurs at some stage.

I agree, they looked like a centreback partnership last night and there was a understanding between them! Both played really well and won everything in the air!

The Incredible Caulk

Looks like this thread has made the Spurs forum. We're famous!

Caulker was easily our best player last night.

For someone so young he is incredibly commanding in the air.

Last night was the first time I've seen Caulker play, as I left for Uni a month ago... Looks a very decent footballer, as said above he seems to have a positive effect on those around him and the team as a whole. However, I really think it's ridiculous for us to even consider signing him permanently, let's just hope he can help us kick on for this season. Well done Milly (or whoever it was) in establishing this link with Spurs and long may it continue!!

He reminded me of Jack Rodwell who has the attributes for centre half too (and may end up there, imo.) mainly in terms of the self assurance/sense of presence for one so young.. defies belief these kinda players. Thought Danny Rose looked our other class above player, let's hope one day we'll have these types as a matter of course.

its all about opinions but I didnt think Rose was particularly "stand out", seeing as he is the first choice for the england u21s. Hard working and a good lad yes, but not the quality of delivery I would be expecting.

I would go as far as saying Caulker could be the next Ferdinand (Rio - not Anton). IMO something would have to go horribly wrong for him not to be a top PL Centre Back and England regular in future years. Well done Keith for getting him in.

Keith actually doesn't have a bad transfer record.. so far..

Stead (Quality signing)

Caulker (Quality signing)

Rose (Starting to live up to his potential as a quality player after Friday)

Pitman (Unproven IMO. Hasn't started the 7-8 games you need after making such a big step up - give him time. Remember it took Maynard quite a while.)

agreed 100%

especially about Pitman, Stead has played at this level and the prem for years now, Pitman will need time, and, like Maynard, aint gonna score hatfulls straight away.

back four should be by the end of the season ribs,caukler,fontaine and a new left back bought in january.

it means saying thanks carey but ur only a replacement for any of the above at best may be even good bye to a long serving captain

Millens signings or Wigleys?

he looks an england player of the future.a season with us will only make him a better player. got to be better than sat on the spurs bench.
