jack cork

Like him. A lot of what Southampton have done this season has been off the back of his quietly effective work in midfield, much like James McCarthy but a level below.

Surprised if we got him as cheap as £3m, seems like a strange bargain to me as he's worth double that. I'd certainly prefer him to Rodwell or Cleverley.

He is OK, can't get in the starting line up at the Saints, so he might well want out. Doesn't exactly excite me this one

He does get in their team - played superbly against Newcastle recently and has started against City and Cardiff.

He's very, very underrated. Shaw wouldn't be able to get forward without him, does exactly the same job that McCarthy does for us. Great squad option for £3m.

Started 18 games thsi season mate, sub in 7 more. Don't follow him closely enough to know if thats through injuries or not, just that when I watch them I don't often see his name

Emo hair.

Sounds like he'd be a fringe player...

3mil for jack cork would be awesome he basically does the dirty work like McCarthy.. I really hope this is true.

So hes a left sided defensive mid?

 

[Furey1878]

why do we need a replacement for barry,just make sure he signs in the summer.

Because Barry's like 50 years old, mate.

That said, I'm sure he'll sign.

 

[Fat Larry]

He'd plug a hole in midfield should we get a few injuries.

Good player for nominal fee in a position we need to strengthen, why would you kill it?

So hes a left sided defensive mid?

Nah both, drops in to the left on occasion depending if he's playing alongside Wanyama or Schneiderlin. He's like McCarthy in that he seems to cover everywhere.

 

[Baines' left foot]

Isn't he fairly highly rated at Southampton?

 

[davids]

As we only need another 3 points to guarantee Europe we'll need more cover in more positions.from what I've seen and read on Soton forums he'll be a good midfield addition

Middle name's Porteous. Hmmm.
