saintscottofthenortham Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Lallana - Cork - Schneiderlin - Chamberlain
1976_Child Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 I guess you're being sarcastic. If he ain't good enough for first team at Chelski maybe we should keep some perspective.
gaz Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 From watching those videos, he's very good at square balls, and bursting forwards using his pace.
S-Clarke Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 I'll bet you the price of an ST that Chambo is not with us come the window closing I think he'll still be ours, we've stuck a ridiculous price on his head (rightly so) no clubs are willing to match it, and Chambo himself seems quite content to stay here for a little longer - so everyone is happy. (apart from the clubs trying to get him)
Neil Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 I wonder why Gobern left, he'd only have Cork, Chappers, Hammond and Spiderman to get in front of! Reckon Cork is one of those natural born footballers who could probably play in just about any outfield position.
Crab Lungs Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Massive lol at Mancienne and Henderson being preferred to him for U21's. He's got real class... not an ineffective nudger like so many supposed PL quality midfielders. What he offers the team, every touch of the ball... in the Premier League vs Aston Villa http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdMhFjcjGO8 in the Championship vs Hull City http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZNvOJ3Kqd6c&feature=related
EBS1980 Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Could we play a 5 man midfield? Hammond Morgan Cork in the middle with Adam and AOC out wide?
krissyboy31 Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Bit disappointed by this one. I would of preferred a 'marquee' signing. http://www.marqueesign.com/
Dannyboy_Saint Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 He won't be another Pulis. Unlike him, Corks actually played some football in the last 3 years and is pretty good from what I've seen of him on Sky.
1976_Child Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 reckon good chance he will still be here, better than 50/50 Mental
saintscottofthenortham Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 it's not on the official site or sky sports anymore, hope there is not a problem lol
shurlock Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Lallana Schneiderlin Cork Chamberlain Could be quite a midfield! Quite a young midfield. Not a million miles away from the line-up that saw us relegated (though Cork often played CB)
Matthew Le God Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 So what's my prize????? A years subscription to the News of the World.
krissyboy31 Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 It's not on the official site or sky sports anymore, hope there is not a problem Funny! I've got the OS report open, so unless there's a time lag??
gary r Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 cracking signing ,the plan is starting to fall into place.
scotty Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Oh Yesss, excellent news!!! I'm just off on holiday tonight, this a brilliant bit of news to depart on. Really rated him when he was here on loan, was hoping against hope we would sign him, nice one Nigel and Nicola. See you next week.
sotonian Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Funny! I've got the OS report open, so unless there's a time lag?? It was there earlier, but went to show my son and it's gone on my computer!!!!

TheSaint75 Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Burnley had been considered favourites to secure his permanent signature but with reports of Chelsea demanding a fee in excess of £3m, Southampton – financially strong due to the backing of the late Markus Liebherr – moved into pole position http://thechels.net/2011/07/cork-makes-saints-switch/ £3m !!!!!?????
SNSUN Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Now if Barnard gets proven guilty, we need an Innocent striker and one more centre back. (Unless others leave of course...)

Bargain if Mills is worth £5Million.
EBS1980 Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 A sign of how good a player u sign is by the reaction from the fans for whom he used to play for. Burnley are gutted and have nothing but praise for Cork.

TheSaint75 Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Bargain if Mills is worth £5Million. Wasn't saying he isn't worth it but it is way off the £750k mentioned elsewhere, which I thought was very cheap for a young, quality, in demand player. Who cares anyway we can afford it and it proves our ambition to the doubters !
sotonian Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10280~2388516,00.html On my phone that link takes me to live games v Birmingham and reading! But I've been assured all is ok
Crab Lungs Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 I know some won't agree, but that midfield 4 has the ability to do well top flight. Not right away, but they're all improving individually and collectively. If a team can move in and not have to change the midfield, you have an asset money can't easily buy. On a bigger scale, that's why Madrid can't catch barca. Money can't buy a midfield so used to playing together and improving together. Really like the strategy we're taking and hope we can keep them all long term. I'd absolutely agree. If someone offered me Blackburn, Wigan or some of the other midfield's compared to us, I'd most definitely say no
Joesaint Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 What about; Davis Cork Fonte Martin Mills Chamberlain Guly Schneiderlin Lallana Lambert Barnard Bench: Bart, Chaplow/Hammond, Connolly/Forte, Dickson/Butterfield/Harding, Jaidi/Seaborne. To be honest I would be more than happy with this, as we have alot of players our wage bill must be quite high, we don't need to sign anyone else. If we do sign more I expect players to leave to make room. COYS
Scoobysaint Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Great signing, for now and the future. Maybe a top notch striker and a strong, ball winning CB and we'll be unstoppable!
saintscottofthenortham Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 From a Forest forum. Saints source on twitter claims he's rejected them and signed for us.

If this goes though, I might start to get excited chriscl Left Winger Join DateDec 2008 LocationRuddington, Nottingham Posts3,922 Would be a very good signing if true. No doubt we will find out tomorrow, but to me he's just the kind of player we should be targeting. We have to remember who we are - we are Nottingham Forest and people should be scared of coming here. - Dexter Blackstock, 6/10/09 Brolin Swedish Meatball Join DateMay 2007 LocationEast Coast Posts3,194 It's from a guy who has 14 followers and seemingly no background in transfer knowledge. Lets not take his word as gospel, eh? :Joe90 That's a Saints ''very good source'' ?

IT'S A 20FT COCK AND BALLS MAN! DezzieD IF we were in for him this is very disappointing! Just the sort of player we should be going for. The only silver lining is that maybe he's quite similar to what we already have? joenffc You have got to laugh Col I doubt we were ever in for him. Joe90 At least we appear to have other Midfield avenues rather than just two pointless approaches... incapable hulk Captain N Join DateOct 2008 LocationSneinton, Nottingham Posts4,544 What happened to this drawing power steve mcclaren was meant to have? It doesnt seem to be working Maybe it was art wise? Its going to suck tomorrow, when leicester inevitably announce the signing of routledge (guesswork!) Ah well, still loads of time!#clutchingatstraws
Gordon Mockles Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 (edited) I reckoned we'd signed someone! LOL ECSTATIC! If there's one position I wanted more than any other, it was midfield. He was great before & I feel will blossom even further under Adkins. So chuffed. I'd seriously thought we'd missed the boat but I am seriously impressed with the professional & discrete manner our club now operate, even if it does unsettle some of the more inpatient & fickle types. Even better, it should give Morgan a more advanced role and/or hopefully push out the over-rated Hammond. This position is so key. With Sharp being announced hopefully tomorrow, this could go from being a good week to an amazing week! Just in time for Fri & aboard the bus...to the airport...to Switzerland! I think we could be smiling even more tomorrow. Overjoyed! 4 years too. :0) Onwards & upwards Saints. Edited 18 July, 2011 by Gordon Mockles
krissyboy31 Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Now if Barnard gets proven guilty, we need an Innocent striker and one more centre back. (Unless others leave of course...) http://www.kickoff.com/news/22026/innocent-emeghara-called-up-by-switzerland.php

If we do sign more I expect players to leave to make room. COYS I think we'd miss out on half of his game with him stuck back there, Similar to how we messed around with Surman and Skacel. He's a CM and i'd hope to see him play there 90% of the time.
Leslie Charteris Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 £750,000 up front, then instalments up to £3m when we get to the Premier League? Whatever te true figure, it could turn out to be a very astute purchase, a better deal, I think, than BHA's for Craig Mackrel-Smith!
S-Clarke Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 West Ham fans are a bit gutted too: very, very disappointed to see cork has gone to southampton i'm sure people will say that we have plenty of midfielders but they said the same when we ended up not signing sidwell i'm sure people will say that we will bring in more experienced players on loan instead but I'd rather see us sign some young players who will try and make a mark at west ham rather than 5 or 6 journey men or young players who we never have a hope of signing for real if they are at all succesful being linked with gradel and cork made it feel like we were trying to build a young pardew-esque team to rise again ....i hope we still do this window but i've got a feeling we're going down the same route G&S used with brum and filled the team with loan players...which will all feel a bit hollow imo
SNSUN Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 According to SSN, "Sunderland complete the signing of Jack Cork" http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12875_7025371,00.html I know Sunderland are signing every player under the sun, but how hard is it to have decent reporting?
rooney Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 One of our best signings for year. Well done to all concerned. There cannot be anybody on this Forum who is not delighted at this news, surely?
Colinjb Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Absolutely delighted with this! We really have done well signing him, he is a class act. Appologies for the headline on the Saintsweb home page.... I couldn't help myself.
Scudamore Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 It was the Coast FM changing their name to Jack FM that sealed the deal as I understand it...
St Marco Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 £750k is a bargain for this lad. He is young and has massive talent. If he continues to progress at the rate he has i have no doubt he will get an England cap oneday. Hopefully that will be from playing with us in the PL! Lallana/Morgan/Cork and Chambo is a mouth watering midfield. Has to be amongst the best in the league? Can hear Howes tears from here! Welcome aboard Cork!.....again.....
doddisalegend Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Good news! another youngster too. Nice to not be signing some washed up old PL has been......just becuase of his name.....
Scudamore Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 The author of that article is the Chelsea researcher for Football Manager and an employee of Sports Interactive. He knows his stuff, especially about youth football. Interesting...shame our ones so clueless...
Jonnyboy Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Lallana - Cork - Schneiderlin - Chamberlain you dont win anything with kids ;-)
richardc Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 Surely Adkins wont drop his captain so that will mean Hammond and Cork in the middle with Spiderman dropping down to the bench
SNSUN Posted 7 July, 2011 Posted 7 July, 2011 you dont win anything with kids ;-) Depends what you're doing with them - you could quite easily win a prison sentence....
