miloemily Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Out of the two players who would you prefer in the shirt of BCFC? sign Caulker or keep Maynard? Over to you lot. Great point today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gow Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Caulker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinsleburg Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 if we can buy caulker with the sale of maynard then do it. with pitman we have a ready made replacement and this lad is special. however spurs would never sell and if we agreed a fee he's highly unlikely to want to join with premier league teams probably in for him.

redmelsh Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 It's a tricky one and obviously everyone would love to have them both. However at the moment we have one of the best strike forces we've had in time, and without Caulker i just don't see our defence being strong enough! At this moment in time i'd have to go Caulker, as much as i do love Maynard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Caulker as our defence is much weaker without him than our strike force without Nicky. Obviously we want them both though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 In the nicest possible way, the two can't really be compared, if it was between 2 defenders or two strikers, then that would be a fairer match. I'd sooner have both of them in red shirts, and wouldn't want to pick either one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simsey Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Maynard - No Brainer really!!!!!!! Id love to see caulker in a city shirt permently but lets face it i very much doubt that will happen as the best we can hope for is tottenham letting us have him on loan again next season as i cant see tottenham wanting to sell him!!!!

Lrrr Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 quite easy for me, if we could get Caulker by selling Maynard i would do it, Pitman and Stead have shown while Maynard is away we have a good strike force at this level without him where as take away Caulker atm and our defense would be very shakey, also there would likely be a bit of £££ left to sign a new striker anyway to rotate around Pitman and Stead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Gow Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 If Harry agreed to a straight swap i would more than be happy. Its just my opinion but i would say top class centre halfs are more difficult to get than decent strikers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caulker opening his account in front of Harry will make keeping him even more difficult. However, when he lifts the world cup in Russia we'll be able to talk about him as a city legend!

bucksred Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Rather keep both, but if push comes to shove Caulker, he is our most influential player this season without a doubt, followed by Pitman & Adomoah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James M Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 imagine where we'd be with both of them all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WellRedPhil Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Very interesting question. Maynard is clearly a much more exciting player and just having him on the pitch can get your hopes up as you never know what magic he might pull out from the bag! Caulker on the other hand is a superb defender, one of the best in the Championship at just 18, will probably go on to play for England and will without doubt (unless injury mars him) have a terrific career at the highest level. Caulker would also be a better investment for the future, as you'd imagine he'll be worth a hell of a lot on a few years. My heart says Maynard but my head definitely says Caulker.

steve39 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 would love to have caulker here permanatly but cannot see it ever happening and whatever we would get for maynard would be nowhere near caulkers prce tag and what wage would he expect.

RedM Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 In the nicest possible way, the two can't really be compared, if it was between 2 defenders or two strikers, then that would be a fairer match. I'd sooner have both of them in red shirts, and wouldn't want to pick either one. I understand what you are saying, but surely this shows the high regard that us fans hold for Caulker. We are actually debating (all be it hyperthetically) selling our 'prize asset' in order to keep this player. I can't ever, ever remember the fans being so united in their (positive) opinion of a player. Have we ever wanted or needed a loan player so much? Maybe perhaps Mark Robbins when he was recalled into his loan spell for us which left us faltering, but this feels more than that? i doubt if it would be possible, Spurs aren't mugs. But I would hope that everything possible, and more, is being done to keep him as long aspossible. So please, please Mr Lansdown... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBW Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 I think right now I'd prefer Caulker. Nothing against Maynard but I think we'd get a good £6million for him and could get Caulker for less than that right now and already have replacements for Maynard in Pitman/Stead if he was to leave. Obviously I'd love both though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economou Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Would rather watch Nicky Maynard than Caulker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
