SuperMikey Posted 7 June, 2011 Share Posted 7 June, 2011 If he can play with Hammond then yes he will be. NA will play Hammond and 1 other, count on it. I wouldn't count on Hammond being first-choice CM next season, Schneiderlin is much better than him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shurlock Posted 7 June, 2011 Share Posted 7 June, 2011 Cork is a solid receive and pass CM and yes in a similar vein to MS. Cork is also versatile which adds value to the squad. The real difference maker, however, would be Danns. Pace, skill, delivery, set pieces, goals ... this is the attacking piece we are desperately missing and NC should let bygones be bygones and make it happen. Of course, it would be handy to have Cork in CM to give Danns the ball ... Cork is a better player than Danns and has more room to improve. I would rather a Schneiderlin/Cork than a Schneiderlin/Danns CM partnership especially with all the attacking options around them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickG Posted 7 June, 2011 Share Posted 7 June, 2011 if Ox-C stays, Lallana and Ox-C are more attacking than most other midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 7 June, 2011 Share Posted 7 June, 2011 Well personally I rate Jack Cork that highly that I don't think £15k pw would be unreasonable. Let's not forget he would be turning down clubs with parachute payments still coming in and most likely Premiership clubs to come here - we'd need to offer above the norm.

Exactly, for example "poor" Pompey have Nugent, Kitson and Lawerence all on huge wages £15k+. I would imagine a number of Saints players had promotion clauses in their contracts that mean they are getting towards(ish) the £15k p/w figure, from the approx £9k p/w in League One. I'd guess Lambert, Fonte and Lallana would be getting near those figures now that Saints are in the Championship.

niceandfriendly Posted 8 June, 2011 Share Posted 8 June, 2011 WTF, are you serious or was last night a late one? Glasgow saint has never been serious about anything on this forum. Perhaps in normal life too, we can only speculate as to that. Hopefully most of us won't ever have to find out. Never seen Cork play for Saints as I was away for the entire time he was at the club, but seen him a few times on sky playing for Burnley. Seems like the right sort of player to aim for.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 8 June, 2011 Share Posted 8 June, 2011 According to his Twitter account, Cork was getting on the plane for the Euros an hour ago.

St Marco Posted 8 June, 2011 Share Posted 8 June, 2011 Reading the Burnley boards http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=104&fid=297&sty=2&act=1&mid=2117285682&page=1 and have to say there are some really lovely comments on there! They think we offered him £20k a week. Chelsea accept £1m bid. It is a done deal. But my fav comment has to be the one where the guy says something like "I thought they were broke and went out of business a few seasons ago? How can they afford players and wages like that? Or are they just continuing like before where they are spending money they don't have?" For someone to reply saying "They are now owned by the estate of a multi-billionaire".....
