Others have also mentioned that we're switching to a system with one holding midfielder instead of two, and that Schneiderlin and Taider can also play there. I do think Reed is quite good and it's time to give him some time, as it goes, but we have plenty of experienced depth anyway.

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.
 
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
 
Pochettino and Koeman disagree. As do most Premier league teams if nobody is going to one up a 3m bid for Cork. Not that I'm interested in this discussion with you because your Cork bias is probably the strangest thing on this forum.

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.

Remind me again, how did Man U score?

Lol
 
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.
