Jack Cork was a top quality CM last year for Burnley - was their POTS.
He's the perfect partner for Morgan IMO - if anything it would allow us to be more expressive, as Pichards said above.
Why wouldn't you be overjoyed John? He's one of the most saught after players in the Championship and he'd probably walk into 90% of the teams.
He'd be a statement signing and is young enough to make the move to the premiership with us too. Would be extatic.
Let's hope what I heard y/day was a load of rubbish! (with us not willing to pay the fee)
Shame, he was a good laugh. Makes you wonder how the likes of Charlie Weyman can continue winding people up, and get away with it? He's a skate on a wind up yet he carries on posting, but Deppo gets banned for being a good laugh.
Go figure.
Spoke to someone who was at the game today who had a ''Source'' - apparently we didn't have a bid accepted (there was contact with chelsea and his agent) but we weren't happy paying 750k, so it's not going to happen.
tbf the rise is in line with what was expected.
for a club of our size the prices in the last couple of years have been a total bargain, what with inflation and the VAT price rise i'm struggle to think what everyone expected from the club - they can't give them away!
It will help some people, quite alot of clubs do it this way actually.
Prices are a little more expensive than I expected, so I'll carry on match-by-match next year.
Some burnley fans - more ignorant views: (they prob still think we're in admin)
but I'm equally sure that we'd all be stunned beyond the point of comprehension IF we could not outbid either Blackpool or Southampton for any player we wanted.
TBF we heard about Fonte's transfer a good week or so before it went through, it was plastered all over the local Palace newspaper website. As you go up the league's it's almost impossible to keep a transfer completely silent, there will always be leaks.
