georgeweahscousin Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 .......in talks with Crystal Palace over a permanent move from Chelsea apparently. Surely we could out muscle them financially for what I consider a very good utility footballer?
sotonist Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Played for us and Played for Adkins at S****horpe. If nige wanted him I'm sure we'd be in for him.
S-Clarke Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 No chance. Top champ. player, wouldn't drop to L1. and i'm not sure he's really a priority signing anyway tbh. I'd rather we spent money on attacking wingers/forwards if we have to.
SuperMikey Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Palarse are a club on the way down, their owners haven't got enough money to launch a promotion bid, their manager is very inexperienced and there's interest in their best players from lots of other teams. Come sign for us Jacky!
georgeweahscousin Posted 18 January, 2011 Author Posted 18 January, 2011 No chance. Top champ. player, wouldn't drop to L1. Agree, but by signing for Palace he in danger of that anyway!
positivepete Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Good signing, could hold a place down in centre mid or in defence. He can pass a ball, he must be high on NA's list
Lighthouse Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Would love to get him and we'd certainly use him if we got promoted. Of our current CB options, only Fonte is really Championship class. Can also play the holding midfield role competantly. Sign him up Nige!
poppedout76 Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Just out of interest Saints are playing palace in a behind closed doors game this afternoon!!!!
Minsk Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Unless you know him that seems odd given Fonte was a top championship player and dropped to L1. It might only be a few months and he knows the club. He's exactly what we should be after, a technically good young player with great potential. Perfect addition to the squad if we could get him. This
stu0x Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 ...he knows the club.... His knowledge of the club is from the disastrous 08-09 season though, so that might count against us instead of for us!
ribbo Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 i thought he was one of the better performers when he was with us, i'd love to have him back.
Chez Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 whilst being out on loan (since he was at our place) what position has he been playing?
SNSUN Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 I remember watching Palace away in the relegation season. We lost 3-0 and were shyte, torn apart by Shefki Kuqi. The only player that played well that night for us was Cork. (although my Palace supporting mate said Lloyd James did ok at right back.) Cork would be a great signing for us.
dronskisaint Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 Would love to see him return...he, Lallana & Surman played beautifully together in a very average side. One of the most committed loan players I can remember coming to us....also think he'll be snapped up once it's known he's available...that being said we've got to be a better option than Pale-arse
OldNick Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 surely being on chelseas books his wages would be pretty big
saint simes Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 I would be more than happy to see Jack "Yeah, no" Cork back at Saints!
Turkish Posted 18 January, 2011 Posted 18 January, 2011 I'd love him back, excellent player at this and Champrionship level and would improve the squad and the first team.
SaintRobbie Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 PLease buy him please! Bloody good player Cork.
Lallana's Left Peg Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 Very versitile player, would be a good addition to the squad. Have seen him play well at right-back and in midfield for Saints, and he looks after the ball very well.
eelpie Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 Would love to see him return...he, Lallana & Surman played beautifully together in a very average side. One of the most committed loan players I can remember coming to us....also think he'll be snapped up once it's known he's available...that being said we've got to be a better option than Pale-arse I agree. And I wouldn't mind Surman returning too - whatever happened to him this season?
dellgirl Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 I was very sorry when he went would really like to see him back with us ,he stood out for us that season.
farawaysaint Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 I agree. And I wouldn't mind Surman returning too - whatever happened to him this season? Injury
Saint_lambden Posted 19 January, 2011 Posted 19 January, 2011 Was fantastic here back in 08 , gutted when he turned down the renewal and went to Watford instead. No chance of getting him here now unfortunately.
