    He's recently sold his house in the New Forest too, but heard he bought another in the south, so it seems he likes living down here

    If he has any real ambition Palace are hardly a step up.

    Just watch them finish above us this season. I reckon they'll finish around 9th.

    Well I'd still argue that given the current conditions - Morgan being a berk, the other two debutants - that Cork is our most reliable option of those four. Which is even more important given that we have such a ropey-looking defence.

    And it's not like we are even getting anything if we sell him, we're practically giving him away. If the fee was £8 million I could begin to understand it.

    His ambition is to be playing regular first team football. Despite everything said here, he's not good enough to be doing that at bigger clubs than Palace.

    Given Morgan's current state of mind, that isn't so surprising. If he comes around fair point, but it doesn't look likely at the moment.

    He is not stupid enough to chuck his career down the toilet for the sake of another season. At least I don't think he is

    If you think that is strange, you must have a strange idea of what strange means:huh:

    The comment you were referring to had nothing to do with Cork, it was about Wanyama. If it was my decision, I would play them both. I stand by my statement that Wanyama is not a good 'footballer'. However, he is excellent at breaking down attacks, its everything that follows that he is poor at. Thats why the best midfield performance of the year was in the final game against Man Utd with Cork and Wanyama playing together. With those two and a couple of faster and more creative players around them, we would have a very good midfield.

    All summer I've been saying that Schneiderlin is the one we can't afford to lose, but given his current attitude, I'd be well happy with those two.

    What about Jack's state of mind? Does he really want to stay and warm the bench?

    No doubt Cork gave it away. No, wait, it was a free kick. I wonder who committed the foul?

    What is your point though. That Cork is useless because he fouled someone?

    Good point, I doubt he does, who would? But I doubt Morgan is being offered a bench-warming position. You can't really compare the two situations.

    You don't always get what you want, but he might at CP. Its a shame but we must move on if it happens.

    I can't imagine there'd be many goals in a Cork-Jedinak pairing but they'd sure keep possession well.

    They have Joe Ledley as well, and Chamakh plays AMC for them. Wouldn't it be funny if Cork ended up on the bench there too.
