Caulker out for two months.

[wearetheparklane]

A real shame as I thought he was looking good for the Swans this season. Apparently knee cartilige damage, I hope he makes a ful recovery and he doesn't suffer in the future as much as our last promising homegrown centre back with knee cartilige troubles :--(

He did it stopping the scum from scoring.
I wonder if his loan will/can be cancelled.

Says he's coming back for assessment. Wouldn't be surprised myself, will probably send him out again in the January window.

 

[felmani26]

A real shame considering he started in all four of their opening fixtures and by and large impressed.

He will bounce back though and hopefully sooner rather than later.

 

[sussexyid]

Yeah, here is hoping he hasnt got the same issues as our dear ledly...

Was a great stop, but was worried he might have done something to his knee. Was strapped up the second half so thought it was going to be ok.

Cant see them canceling the loan though, they will need him as soon as he is fit again. Im sure he will be back to us often if not all the time through his injury/recovery

 

[Spurger King]

It looked like he banged it into the post. Shows the kind of commitment the lad has though...putting defending above his own safety.

 

[beats1]

God why! he just came back from a bad hip injury

......or maybe we keep him to play at Spurs now that he has proved he can play in the Premiership (albeit in only 4 games).

When we loaned him out I thought we had at Centre Half a fit Gallas, a Ledley likely to play 10 - 20 games plus Dawson, Kaboul and Bassong (and in emergency the likes of Corluka and Huddlestone). Now we find Gallas is out for 2 months and Bassong after not playing foir most of 2010/11 seems to have lost most of his confidence and Harry was prepared to let him go in the last Window. Seems like we need a minimum of 1 CB and quite possibly 2 CB's in January - maybe Caulker should be one of them....

Second time it's happened to him swans think he could be back in a month

Nice idea, but I would have thought they want him to get game time and experience, can't see him starting for us just yet.

 

[double0]

Gutted for him...really looks a promising defender. I have high hopes for him, Just hope his allowed the heal without surgury. Being young still at 19 we should not make the same mistakes as we did with Ledley.

is this new, news? POTL said the other day he was back in training

I think he means Dawson.

 

[ajspurs]

I'd rather we keep him at Swansea for as long ad we can this season. If we take him back, he will end up sitting on the bench.

 

[SlickMongoose]

Didn't he bruise his hip against the post for Bristol City last season? Someone should teach him self preservation.

 

[Shanks]

He'll stay at Swansea, hopefully a quicker recovery than 2 months.

Doing really well, highly rated at the club, and possibly, he'll do 2 seasons on loan to another prem club, depending on how well he gets on for the rest of the season.

as in 2 more after this one?
Was thinking about this the other day, and thought he might have another season out on loan before coming back to us. Would depend on King and Gallas and his progress though.

 

[Shanks]

Mostly his progress Chris.

He was going to be given a chance at the beginning of pre season, but it was decided that he'd get more out of going to another prem side.
So depending on that progress, he might do another season on loan to another prem side.
Swansea are going to get battered by teams, so what better place to go to laon for a CB eh!

 

[the watson]

knee injury? looks like he really WILL be the next ledley!!
