the saint in winchester Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 CLASIE TO HAVE SAINTS MEDICAL Sky sources understand Feyenoord captain Jordy Clasie is expected to have a medical at Southampton within the next 24 hours. The deal to bring the Dutch international to St Mary’s is edging closer after both clubs agreed a fee in the region of €12m (£8.5m). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the saint in winchester Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 Not alot. Think things might move once Celtic know their Champions League qualifying position. Like the Forster transfer last year. Aha! A certain CB at Celtic? Is there no way we can prevent him playing, or at least wrapping him in cotton wool if he plays?

Dig Dig Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 The club has done very little wrong since Cortese left but there have been a few decisions that have been wrong (benefit of hindsight and all that) - allowing Cork to get away was one of them. He wanted to sign a new deal last summer and said words to that effect. And why not - he had just 12 months left. Not giving him a new deal because Koeman wanted to assess him is strange' date=' because we didn't wait for Koeman's say when we negotiated a number of other contracts. Either way, it was disappointing to lose Cork - we made it an easy decision for him.[/quote'] Inclined to agree. The "Cork didn't want to play for us so what could we do line" doesn't really stack up in the same way it does for those who have left for bigger and better things. Timing of our contract offer did seem to be key and it's reasonable to assume that we could have kept him if we wanted. This is old news of course and I'm looking forward to Clasie joining who could end up being the better player but Cork was proven in the league and an excellent player for us IMO.

Lighthouse Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 By offering him a new deal well before he has less than 6 months to run on his current one. Or in other words' date=' giving ourselves a chance of keeping him.[/quote'] So you have evidence that no contact was made between the club and Cork regarding his contract until January? All this would be irrelevant if we'd kept Quashie and Wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 (edited) So you have evidence that no contact was made between the club and Cork regarding his contract until January? You'd have to go back to Cork's dad's tweets to verify that. Can't remember myself, seemed to wish to keep the whole world bang up to date on the situation. I think he even hinted that the 3 million we all believe we got for him was nowhere near the real figure; more like 1.5 million.

Saint Charlie Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 If we didn't want Cork why did we offer him another contract?

Matthew Le God Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 If we didn't want Cork why did we offer him another contract?

I don't think any of us knows what went on behind the scenes but I assume that if a professional footballer gets a new contract offer he realises that he is wanted. I really don't think not feeling wanted had anything to do with his move but who knows for sure? There are few players out there who could insist on starting each week. Messi and Ronaldo spring to mind. Jack Cork doesn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say guaranteed, but in contract talks the player/agent will want to know where they fit into the manager's plans. Cork may have been offered a deal by Saints, but it wouldn't have been that of a player likely to start a lot of games. He was dropping down the pecking order, plus Saints have youngsters in central midfield they are bringing through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 Fair play to Jack for moving on to try and get more playing time. Even with Morgan going I think that RK would have gone for a replacement and not used Jack. Could be wrong but I always got the feeling that Jack wasn't a key player.

Saint-Armstrong Posted 15 July, 2015 Author Share Posted 15 July, 2015 (edited) It's the #ahem "Clasie" thing to do. From what it sounds like is happening, he'll sign his stuff and head off back home tonight. Flew into Heathrow, did his medical in London - in the meantime, Les sorted the paperwork with Feyenoord. His wife's due to give birth any day now, so he can go back to Holland and link up with the Saints squad when they head out there - Friday? - I suppose.

krissyboy31 Posted 15 July, 2015 Share Posted 15 July, 2015 If Connor's theory is correct, wouldn't he complete the signing up at Heathrow? Wouldn't need to come back to Southampton.

He definitely landed in London at around 13:00, I don't know why he'd head south unless he's flying out from Southampton, or catching a ferry. Unless he just wants to see the facilities and Les and co are down there, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
