Stoke are reportedly interested in signing Celtics Scottish international centre-back Gary Caldwell Everson Griffen Jersey when the transfer window re-opens in three weeks time. The 26 year old, who learnt his trade at the Newcastle United academy but never made a league appearance for the club, is said to be high up Tony Pulis list of transfer targets as he looks to strengthen his squad in an attempt to secure PremierLeague survival in the second half of the season, with the Stoke manager reportedly watchinghim play in Celtics 2-0 lo s to Hibernian of Sunday. During his time at Newcastle, Caldwell had loan spells at Darlington, Hibernian and Derby, butmost notably Coventry City where he played at the heart of the defence for the majority of the 2002/03 season. It was to Janarius Robinson Jersey Hibbs that he moved permanently in 2004 though,going on to make 104 appearances and score seven goals for the Edinburgh club before his move to Celtic two and a half years later.He has since made exactly 100 appearances for the Scottish champions, scoring three times. Caldwell has also won 26 caps for Scotland, his first coming four years ago and has scored twice for K.J. Osborn Jersey his country, one of his goals being the winner in their 1-0 home victory over France during the EURO 2008 qualifying campaign.Caldwell may swap the green and white of Celtic for the red and white of Stoke Caldwell would definitely be a good player to C.J. Ham Jersey have in our squad, with a lot of experience at the top European level and internationally, while at 26 he still has age on his side. for me, however, our defence would not be a priority, with Abdoulaye Faye cemented in one centre back slot (no-one would dare drop him, and no-one with a brain would want to) and Ryan Shawcro s, Ibrahima Sonko and Leon Cort all able to partner him well at the back. Id hope we are looking to strengthen in more advanced areas of the pitch rather than the defence, as on recent showing we need at least one more midfield player and another striker to bolster our attacking options, particularly with Dave Kitson hardly firing on A.J. Rose Jr. Jersey all cylinders at the moment. |
