Rebel Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 In the Daily Mail tomorrow it says we are getting defender Jack Cork on loan from Chelsea: "Chelsea are also on the verge of signing attacking midfielder Fabio Paim on a season-long loan from Sporting Lisbon and have loaned out former England Under 18 captain Jack Cork to Southampton until January 1." Wikipedia says: Jack Cork (born June 25, 1989) is a footballer currently contracted to Chelsea who spent the 2007/08 season on loan at S****horpe United. During the 2006-07 season he twice went on loan to Bournemouth. Cork is a versatile defender who can play anywhere across the back and can also play in the holding midfield role. He has also represented England at youth level, recently making his Under 19 debut against the Czech Republic[1], and has captained the Chelsea youth team. He has been at the club since the age of nine.[1] Lets see if its true! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintrich Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 I think that would be a decent signing, we need defensive cover and he fits in with our cheap young player policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Martini Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 Sounds like a good signing (right position(s) and promising that he's been U18's captain) but I, like many, have never seen him play so I can't really judge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 Although The mail describes Cork as 'former England under 18 captain', he was captaining the England under 19s when they beat Greece 3-0 last month. Lets hope the Mail story is more accurate on the loan having been agreed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Super Saint Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 We have John and McGoldrick. In the last 24 hours JP has said none of the first team squad will go, we seem to have a settled group who want to play their best for the club, and now the possibility of getting a good young defender with championship experience in. Yet still people will moan and twist everything into a negative, we'll have digs at Lowe along the way, suggestions that we'll be relegated and told how crap we've been to get 0 points, mainly by people who haven't even been to a game. It isn't "realistic" to say we'll struggle. None of you, not one, has seen more than 2 games of this new team. After 20 games you might be able to make an educated guess, but even then teams can dramatically pick up, or indeed fall away. So judge them on the whole season. Until then, since it's all new and unknown, just be positive and get behind the team, manager, AND board. Excellent news, we've got two goalscorers. Just the one thing, what if one of them picks up an injury? You know, maybe 5 or 6 games out?? Surely you're not suggesting Bradley is cover???

Don't make a jugement until the first quarter of the season is gone (and disappointing), don't worry til Christmas (we're not going to get promoted now), don't panic til after Easter (**** we might even go down now), COME ON GET BEHIND THE LADS (but I thought you sais judge them afyer a FEW games), if we win the last 9 games on no previous form we can still do it - like stay up. How many years are you happy to trot out this ****e Adrian and what makes you feel that this season in particualar might be the one that makes your unceasingly, untiringly, unrealistically, unncesarrily optimistic crap come true?

Wiltshire Saint Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 How does everyone know that this is a good move and that he will be any good? Where have people seen him play?

LeBenali Posted 20 August, 2008 Share Posted 20 August, 2008 Saw him play a handful of games for B'mouth a couple of years ago and he looked decent back then.

JohnnyFartPants Posted 21 August, 2008 Share Posted 21 August, 2008 All goes hand in hand. If people are moaning about them it's hard to concentrate in supporting the manager and team. Likewise, if the manager and team were to do well, it's hard to completely separate the board. People just have to be a little grown up about it and see it as a fresh start. The board have done absolutely nothing wrong in this new tenure. It's a shame we got into this mess, but we're trying to move out of it. People will blame them if players are sold, but they'd blame them if the financial situation worsened or we went into administration, so it's really a no win situation. No-ones asking people to cheer them, or even talk about them, it would just be beneficial if people shut up about them, rather than twisting the majority of threads against them, regardless of fact. =D> Not to mention how utterly boring it is.

I see similar comments now when someone like davies leaves or there's rumours about surman. people know the situation yet it doesn't stop the usual drivel being spouted.

Minsk Posted 21 August, 2008 Share Posted 21 August, 2008 I would be very happy if Jack Cork came to SMS. He captained England U19's, whilst playing at RB, when they played here in Belarus a few months ago. From recollection he had a pretty decent game that day.
