Wingy said on the podcast that Caulker was sold for non footballing reasons. Anybody know more about this?

Other than Speculation about him calling Joe Lewis's daughter a slag Im not sure. He isn't a bag of pace and couldn't cope within a high line, but still seems a bit rash to sell one of our top home grown prospects. Probably the £10 million we got for him helped. The fact we piled that back into Chiriches helps
Didn't he call Joe Lewis' daughter a slut or something? 
if that's true, that's not very nice!

If so, I'ma need to see some pics for validity of statement. (The broad, not his statement)
Back when it occurred I remember hearing some reports that there were problems in training, and there was speculation that he was enjoying himself rather too much on the pre-season tour...
He believes in Dragons.
From what I heard once he read Harry potter it fucked him. Mentally
Or maybe he thought I want a tilt at getting in the England squad for the wc in Brazil.
I did say Kaboul was fucked a while ago. Pretty obvious. Another ledley but without the ledley.
Caulker and Livermore could have stayed and we could still have bought 2 ozils etc.

Whatever the reasons it's turned out to be a poor decision by us, unless Caulker was actively demanding a move. Many Spurs fans are saying our best CB pairing is Vlad and Jan, yet AFAIK they've never played in the Prem. Seems a bizarre reaction to me. Why not see how they do first?
It's like the almost unaminous call in Spursdom over the summer that Kab and Jan was our best pairing, that worked out well ...

I don't think we expected Kaboul's injury to be so bad, and shockingly Caulker's transfer fee is in our top ten or something O_O
Weirdly enough, our issue with our CBs right now is they can't handle anything in the air, but I don't think Caulker would be the answer there. Someone who is both fast and/or intelligent enough to deal with the high line (more than Dawson) *and* aerially dominant enough to cover for Vlad/Jan would be ideal. Dunno where we are going to find that though.

It seems like you really want Dawson to play .. even though they haven't played Jan and Vlad are the best pairing if Kaboul isn't fit as they've been the two best performing centre halves this season for us. It's logical to suggest that when they're together it'd be our best pairingWhatever the reasons it's turned out to be a poor decision by us, unless Caulker was actively demanding a move.

Stephen left because he wanted first team football and fell out with avb. It was telling that on his Facebook page the day AVB was sacked his status was something like "karma is a bitch". He hated AVB and apparently bale did not get on with him either. Source?
All first hand, I have seen the correspondence between him and a mate.

I bring tidings of great news: the high back line is no more. Rejoice.
I tried to google, but got distracted by this (pity about her irritating husband):
And who is this?
Have they even played side-by-side, yet?It's like the almost unaminous call in Spursdom over the summer that Kab and Jan was our best pairing, that worked out well ...
Closest I think was Jan at LB with Kab CB with Dawson vs. City.
