QPR and Southampton fans on Twitter have been reacting to Steven Caulker’s move to St Mary’s on a season-long loan.
Some Rangers fans – unimpressed by Caulker’s displays for their club last season – weren’t sorry to see him go.
The Saints paid a £1.5m loan fee in order to take Caulker to the south coast. But some Rangers fans still felt uneasy about the deal.
Caulker has suffered back-to-back relegations, having left Cardiff to join the R’s, who went down last season.
Some fans – including supporters of his former club Tottenham – argued that Caulker can consider himself fortunate to be back in the top flight and needs to get his career going again.
However, others judged Caulker more favourably and argued that Southampton have made an astute signing ahead of the new campaign.

Back Southampton to go down this year. A move to Southampton on loan may look good but he has had a pretty poor season at QPR and looks like nobody was prepared to buy. . If QPR and Cardiff didn't want him, its not looking very good for him. Expect him to sit on the bench for most of the season. Southampton are going to use him as a replacement to help with the Europa cup in mind. Probably his last chance to impress.
