Wanyama is obviously the better choice, as we are third in the league and have only lost one game.

He bossed Manchester United's midfield at old Trafford, he stood his ground against Swansea and he dominated Liverpool at Anfield.

It's a complete no brainer for me. The mistake he made at Hull will hopefully be a lesson, plus he is in exactly the right place to improve. He could easily become a world class DM once adjusted to the league, I wish people would give him time.

They all have. Not so much Boruc because he's not really improved on last year, but definitely Lovren and Fonte. That doesn't mean Wanyama hasn't done anything. And Cork made basically that exact same mistake against Sunderland, but they didn't score from it - Wanyama's mistake was more costly but absolutely no worse. In fact, Cork has struggled with short goal kicks since he joined.

I'd say that Boruc has improved massively over last year. He was appalling in his early games and was dropped for a while as I recall. Even towards the end of the season, I never felt he was "safe" even though he was clearly a good shot stopper. This year he has been excellent all round, his handling of crosses, for example, has been exemplary. I don't think you can over-estimate the calming affect on the defence when they have absolute faith in the goalkeeper.

Whether or not this has any impact on the Cork/Wanyama debate I don't know!

He's been linked with Fulham today....Lazy journalism? or no smoke without fire?

He was linked to Fulham toward the end of the transfer window, but he'd be silly to go their IMO. Sidwell and Parker look like two very frustrated footballers at the dross and lack of energy around them.

We're about to hit the intense part of the league season where the players won't have time to recover from niggles. Also yellow card suspensions get picked up. Cork will get a match between now and the window and it will be up to him to see if he can hold his place.
 
Footballers all want to play, but sure Cork will get some game time. There are other factors though...he is well paid, has a home here, trains during the week with his mates, the team is doing well and excitement is in the air. Why would you uproot yourself to play in a struggling side just on the off chance that you get more game time. This story has no legs.
