Sunderland are apparently interested in signing Steven Caulker in the January transfer window.
Sunderland are after Steven Caulker, the central defender has not had much of a chance at Saints snce his arrival on a season long loan, when he arrived it looked a good signing, but at times he has been behind Yoshida in the pecking order, prompting suspicions of problems off the field.
Sunderland seem interested in taking him to the North East, but the deal is complicated in that QPR do not want to take him back to Loftus Road as they cannot afford his wages, so they will be wary of allowing him to return to London and then a deal falling through meaning they are burdened with a Premier League salary.
If any deal is to happen then it needs all three parties to sit down and have the paperwork done and dusted at the same time.
In my opinion Caulker has had a raw deal at Saints and hasn't played the games that his form and experience should perhaps have warranted, when he has played he has not done badly, especially in the early part of the season where in a 0-0 draw at Watford he looked the part, but his sporadc games have not helped him find consistency.
The fact that Yoshida is ahead of him is strange, the Japanese defender should in all reality be behind a player of Caulker's proven ability and the fact that he isn't suggests that his lack of games is more down to issues off the field than on it.
