sammysaint Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Great looks like he will sign, doubt the club would say they have had a offer accepted if they didnt think he would sign...
Matthew Le God Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 if true If it isn't true then Adkins is lying, which I very much doubt.
thorpie the sinner Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 As with Charlie Adam though, nothing to stop a rival bid being accepted! Think Man U came in for him this morning
S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 As with Charlie Adam though, nothing to stop a rival bid being accepted! Think Man U came in for him this morning tbf Clubs have had long enough to bid for him, Burnley want him but obviously don't have the money. The fact we've annouced it makes me believe we're almost there. I'd be totally devestated if he signs for someone else now, and it'll show why the club needs to keep quiet until it's 100%!!!.
Saint Charlie Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 It might be Adkins way of saying to Cork, 'Look, I know you want to go to Burnley but we really want you and are the only team wanting you enough to stump up the money. Come here, we are going places.'
Saint_Jonny Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 It might be Adkins way of saying to Cork, 'Look, I know you want to go to Burnley but we really want you and are the only team wanting you enough to stump up the money. Come here, we are going places.' Yep this is what I was thinking. I was also thinking what would eddie howe have said to Cork about Mr.Cortesse?

Agree, he would be a real asset, lets hope on this one!
Saint Mikey Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Yep this is what I was thinking. I was also thinking what would eddie howe have said to Cork about Mr.Cortesse? Seriously? Why should that matter to a player?! I am continually amazed by this forum, I really am.
S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Yep this is what I was thinking. I was also thinking what would eddie howe have said to Cork about Mr.Cortesse? Then the first thing we should do is report Burnley to the FA for tapping up.
Saint_Jonny Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Seriously? Why should that matter to a player?! I am continually amazed by this forum, I really am. If a manager of another team wants a player that we are after, he is going to say whatever he can to convince the player that his team is the one to go for and ours is not. Eddie Howe obviously had issues with us, as did his former employer.
S-Clarke Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 .......Jack Cork, who's heading to Southampton. #CFC Darren_Can Darren Can Chelsea are ready to sell one of their stars............ #CFC
stmusicdude Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 On Twitter. http://twitter.com/#!/officialsaints it WAS there now its NOT
SaintAndy14 Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Great looks like he will sign, doubt the club would say they have had a offer accepted if they didnt think he would sign... Agreed, and what a very good signing if true! Young, English player who enjoyed his time with us a few years back and has an excellent attitude.
Big_Bald_Si Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Still on Jordan Sibley's twitter feed. I feel we've been a lot more open about potential transfers than we have been, confirming the bid for Sharp, no bids for Ox and the only club to have had a bid accepted for Jack Cork. JC would be a great signing imo - come on Jack, get on the bus!
SO16_Saint Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 As with Charlie Adam though, nothing to stop a rival bid being accepted! Think Man U came in for him this morning Man Utd came in for Cork this morning...??
stmusicdude Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Still there for me. lucky you lol its gone when i re logged in lets hope its just my lappy
sambosa75 Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Great signing. Could he be the missing link in defence? I know he's played midfield for Burnley but apparently Chelsea regard him first and foremost as a defender.
Lazlo78 Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Could he be the missing link in defence? No, that role is reserved for Martin Keown.
LGTL Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 There is no way Cortese would allow that to be announced if it wasn't a done deal. This is starting to be quite a good day.
kpturner Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 I'd be totally devestated if he signs for someone else now....Are you exaggerating a little?
stmusicdude Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Cork signs!! ROFL u will have ppl thinking he has now
sambosa75 Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Cork signs!! Why the plural? I can only see one sign.
thorpie the sinner Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 There is no way Cortese would allow that to be announced if it wasn't a done deal. This is starting to be quite a good day. Alternatively, by saying we have agreed a fee with chelsea, it is showing our intent. Kind of masks diappointment of player not signing by showing that we are in for players! Its a web of intrigue
Lighthouse Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Why the plural? I can only see one sign. 'ere ya go.
Wopper Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 If he wanted to sign for us he would have done it by now.
Glasgow_Saint Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/football-league/championship/8725/0/southampton-close-cork? Could be Fonte's CB partner?
saint_ed Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 No, he was away with the England under 21s until last week.
Miltonaggro Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Just the sort of player we need to be signing. Praying the 'SFC / Adkins pull' is enough...
ssaints Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 then the first thing we should do is report burnley to the fa for tapping up. lol
SaintBobby Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Seems the club has abandoned the strategy of only announcing deals when they are 100% done and dusted, which I'm happy with. However, I thought the issue on Cork was wage demands not the transfer fee, so here's hoping that we can still complete the transfer.

Colinjb Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 At the risk of jumping the gun, can anyone think of a good 'Cork' gag I can put in a news headline?
Viking Warrior Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 I think corlk will make a good stopper of the ball unless he bottles it
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 What a Cork-er! After his 40 yard screamer defeats the Skates...
Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 At the risk of jumping the gun, can anyone think of a good 'Cork' gag I can put in a news headline? Jack-in-the-bus.
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 It might be Adkins way of saying to Cork, 'Look, I know you want to go to Burnley but we really want you and are the only team wanting you enough to stump up the money. Come here, we are going places.' This is kind of the way I had interpreted the statement, particularly as he didn't go on to say anything about being due to meet him for talks (from the Tweets I've seen anyway). The stuff on the Chelsea forum is encouraging, though, so hopefully it's NC has let NA spill the beans as it's all about to be wrapped up.

Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 At the risk of jumping the gun, can anyone think of a good 'Cork' gag I can put in a news headline? Adkins moves Cork to Southampton
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Saints Jack up Squad with a Real Corker The winner.
st alex Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Has someone been messing with his wiki page or is his full name really 'Jack Frank Porteous Cork'? unlucky if so.
Jimmy_D Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 I don't know if the comment about us having the only big accepted was on the Saints official twitter feed earlier and then removed, or was never there at all, but it's definitely still there on Jordan Sibley's twitter feed. http://twitter.com/#!/jordansibley
ssaints Posted 1 July, 2011 Posted 1 July, 2011 Saints Jack up Squad with a Real Corker Saints plug midfeild with the addition of Cork I know you said Good headline but thats all I could come up with!
