    Rotation? Obviously Pochettino doesn't agree with you as Cork only came in when Wanyama was injured.

    Well considering the amount of injuries we had when all the players burnt out at once, he might be wise to reconsider that view.

    And Fox has gone to Forest. The "out" part of the bargain has certainly been filled, what about the "in"?

    Maybe I rate Cork too highly but I seriously can't understand what you have against him.

    Don't have anything against him, just that I rate Wanyama and Morgan higher than him.

    If Astori came in and Osvaldo stayed, we've been hoodwinked brilliantly!

    All the best Foxy...thanks for helping us to get where we are today.
    Best of luck with Forest and get them promoted as Nottingham is a relatively close away game for me and the Northants Massive!

    Liverpool apparently facing competition from two unnamed Premiership clubs for Konoplyenka. Well....surely one of them is us!

    Southampton have turned down a bid of £3m from Swansea for Jack Cork.
    Cork, who played on loan for Scunthorpe United whilst under contract at Chelsea in the 2007-08 season, was named the Iron's player of the year despite suffering relegation.
    The 24-year-old, who can play in the centre of midfield or defence, has played 88 league games for the Saints since a permanent switch in 2011.

    Am sure that also had something to do with bedding Wanyama in deeply to the team too. Can't do a Spurs and get a new player in, only to constantly leave them out, so they never pick up the rhythm of the rest of their team. Things may go differently this time around, as suggested by others. I also like them both, and think they both have big parts to play.

    We might as well play all three of them (Cork, Wanyama, Schneiderlin), as somebody suggested earlier. We'd lose a bit attacking wise, but our more offensive players (Rodriguez, Lallana, LAmbert) could do less tracking back with all that cover at the back, so we'd still have a lot of presence up front.

    Perhaps we should contact the FA, explain our problem and tell them we will be using 12 players from now on.

    I think that'd be a sensible strategy against the likes of Man City. Pochettino doesn't seem the sort to go for a more defensive setup though.
