    Caulker is in the same boat as Fer, Cardiff and QPR relegated.

    Caulker is absolute turd. How he has managed to get another Premier League club is beyond me.

    Free transfer

    He was ripping it up for Wolves last season, they signed Sheyi Ojo from Liverpool on loan as his replacement.

    His management is reporting they didnt go through with him because he is injured now and will take a couple of weeks more before he is fit.

    I think Everton reported a failed medical a few years back but there was some other **** going on. Not going to post what it was but it was bad enough to land him in jail in a worst case scenario.

    He probably wouldnt play as much at Liverpool given their options and Stoke under Hughes are likely to finish a good few places above Villa at this stage.

    Be a good signing for Stoke or Villa though.

    Pictures doing the rounds on social media, him at Stoke training ground & deal being sorted.

    Pool were the most linked but the Liverpool echo (yesterday I believe) claimed they were not in for him. I've seen reports that Villa are now closest to signing him since then though.

    http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/aston-villa-beat-liverpool-west-ham-and-stoke-to-mega-signing

    not a great source but
    On Monday Catalan newspaper Sport said Barcelona's Adama Traore had departed from El Prat airport on his way to Liverpool to have a medical and sign for the Premier League club. Marca today say they were wrong. The 19 year old will be signing for Aston Villa instead instead, report the Spanish newspaper.

    Stoke do have 4 ex-barca players though so no surprise they are linked but I wonder has something official happened or is it still just links.

    edit: now saw the response
    The official Barca line was that he was being allowed travel to England to talk to a few clubs and check out their facilities so I wouldn't saw it;s 100% he is off to Stoke but if he's actually there then I would admit its the most likely destination especially as he would probably find it easy to settle with Bojan and co there. That said his agent is also the agent of Villa's new Spanish signing Crespo

    Hughes also being an ex Barca player I'm guessing also opens a few doors for Stoke.

    Sparky really mining that old relationship, even though most people there who remember him must be pretty old by now! :p

    Feyenoord signed Eljero Elia on a free.

    Could have picked up 4 million a year in the desert but contacted Feyenoord himself if anything was possible.
    Which, after selling Boetius earlier this week to Basel, was.

    Probably hoping to kick some new life in his career like Pelle and to a lesser degree, Kazim Richards did earlier at Feyenoord.

    You'd be more excited, it wouldn't necessarily make him any better a player though.

    Dzeko photographed at rome airport, are city buying another striker? Going into the season with aguero and bony seems pretty dodgy to me.

    Mccarthy signs new 5 year deal should end speculation about his future.

    Or at the very least, it should mean that Everton get a good fee for him. ;):D

    He's more of a winger/number 10, definitely not a striker.

    Is this not all a bit trivial given that he's not exactly going to competing for a first team place (one would assume) and will more than likely either play for the talented youths they have (so they can try and get revenge on Chelsea), or be farmed out on loan (probably the former).

    I mean, if we're talking City strikers, sure you might as well throw in the young lad they signed from Turkey also. Unal or something. He probably has just about as much chance of playing as Roberts! :D :pac:

    McCarty had 3 years left on his contract. He wasn't going anywhere.
