Saint Charlie Posted 18 August, 2014 Share Posted 18 August, 2014 Swansea have made a couple of bids for Jack Cork according to the SSN Transfer window update. Seen that this morning. Good team that play in a style which will suit him. Hard to see him wanting to sit on the bench all the time, and if we have no intention of extending his contract then surely we won't want to lose him for free next summer. Can see this happening. Although could only take place if we absolutely know that Morgan is staying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRobbie Posted 18 August, 2014 Share Posted 18 August, 2014 (edited) Would we let him go if Schneiderlin goes to Spurs for £10m and Townsen? I think we need to hold out on Cork and not let him go until Schneiderlins future is confirmed. I thought Koemans comments on Schneiderlin coming were less robust about him staying when interviewed yesterday. Might be reading too much in to what he said though.... Koeman may just be bored of answering questions on Morgan! Edited 18 August, 2014 by SaintRobbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sidney Fudpucker the 3rd Posted 26 August, 2014 Share Posted 26 August, 2014 Alex Goring Crook @alex_crook 21m Couple of transfer lines from the embargoed section of Koeman presser #saintsfc are no longer in for Vlaar and confident Cork will stay. Hmmm, I've just had a text to say he'll be gone by the time the transfer window closes, something I'm not happy about at all. Letting Cork go would be a huge mistake.

Ralph spent some significant time being corporately entertained in Toronto by representatives of Spurs.

That's what agents a for, they establish if we had some ham we could have ham and eggs if we had some eggs type discussions. Nothing binding, informal and hypothetical discussions. It has been said by the French press that Morgan has his personal terms with Spurs all hammered out, although he's probably never spoken to them himself on the subject.

saintbob40 Posted 26 August, 2014 Share Posted 26 August, 2014 its interesting as Cork will likely go as the club otherwise lose out on £4/5 million as in June 15 he goes on a Bosman for free as per Jack Colback this summer ( ...assuming of course Cork tells the club to take a walk if they try to sell him in January 15). Cork's departure will, I would have thought, greatly **** off Morgan in the process who will wonder why Cork can go and he can’t.... ( the logical answer being relative contract lengths and the threat of Cork walking out for nothing in 2015.....that Spock like analysis may not get very far with an emotional Frenchman however). Les Reed may need a hard hat and safety boots......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph says he didnt discuss transfers when in Toronto. You can believe him or not, your choice. I tend to take all transfer talk with a pinch of salt until something actually happens. Ronald said Chambers was injured the night he was having his medical at Arsenal. You don't want to believe everything you are told by our Club, or any club for that matter. It's all propaganda and we can really only surmise based on the circumstantial 'evidence' that is gleaned from various sources and the actions of folks involved. Everything points to a once-imminent deal for MS to go to Spurs. Whether he still will we'll find out within the next few days. And yes, I agree, transfers aren't done until signed and sealed.

Let's hope so (assuming he's prepared to put his angst to one side and commit 100% whilst he's still here) but that wasn't the discussion point. It was whether or not a move to Spurs for MS 'had ever been on'. I'm saying it was you're saying / suggesting it wasn't. As for Cork he hasn't been offered a contract has he? Anything could happen on that front but we're hardly showing him he's wanted if that is the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bateman Posted 26 August, 2014 Share Posted 26 August, 2014 Just a thought, but why would we be playing a player for 45 minutes who was off and waving goodbye? I might be wrong, but these matches are great when in the situation we are in now, where we need new players to get to know each other and gel on a pitch.
