Sargent Pepper Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 A few people on the football rumours site saying a deal to sign Cork is done. Having said that they also reported that Bolasie was gonna turn down city to go elsewhere..... 3 days after signing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Tansley Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Regardless of where the rumour came from, I would be ecstatic if we bought this lad in, any inkling as to whether it's permanent or loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Tansley Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 plenty of games for england youth and u21...... Wigley factor? Gonna be honest and say that this didn't cross my mind, but makes sense! This is the first "rumour" on here that I've thought believable and wanted to happen! So there's absolutely no chance of him coming then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 I thought Burnley and Southampton were both in advanced talks with him last week. I doubt we could beat them in wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Isn't he a defensive-type midfielder? We've already got a hatful of them. Anyway, i thought we were supposed to be signing that Livermore kid from Spurs- i'm sure that was a dead cert a couple of weeks ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent Pepper Posted June 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 A quick search on twitter and burnley and soton fans claiming he's going there. Is he in the u21's squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan_BCFC Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Chelsea were said to be ready to sell the midfielder for the seven-figure sum, even though the Premier League giants had already stated they would accept offers of £750,000 for a player who has been on their books since he was just nine years old, but has never broken into the first team.

Anyway, i thought we were supposed to be signing that Livermore kid from Spurs- i'm sure that was a dead cert a couple of weeks ago? He's more of a central midfielder than a defensive one, if you catch my drift? He's not as good at tackling as say, Cissé but is twice the passer as Skuse... Young, English and talented. Sign him ON!

Brislingwood Red Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 Quite impressed with the calibre of players that were being linked with, if rumours are true. I know we've been unsuccessful other than bolognese but these sort of players are the type that will strengthen the first 11, not just the squad. Billy Jones, Gareth McCauley and Bradley Johnson, if the papers are to be believed, would've been awesome signings for a club like us. An now Jack Cork?! Champions league beckons...

Jordan Tansley Posted June 10, 2011 Report Share Posted June 10, 2011 changed your attitude, slated when I said they will do well Just your betting advice is terrible... Prefer Brighton, if they sign one more striker and don't rely too heavily on the over-rated Hoskins... Tough League to predict next year, West Ham and Brum should do well and Leeds and Leicester will spend over the summer you would think... We need to invest to stay competitive.

I think Brighton will do a Leeds, do well and trip at the last hurdle. Im sure Brum will bounce straight back up with West Ham in the mix if the right manager comes along. Leeds and Leicester will fall like a rock in my opinion and will be in for a shock year. Erikson leaving etc! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's easy to get linked with players; just give a few names to the media and it looks like you are being active and ambitious. The fact we had little or no chance of getting them is neither here nor there as long as it impresses the fans. Clubs do it all the time. More difficult to find good players we might actually secure, which is what Keith needs to start doing. Perhaps he should focus on finding more Pitman/Adomah type players than shooting for the moon? If not he is going to have a very frustrating time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not he is going to have a very frustrating time. Well, Millen stated we were pretty close the the three players the previous post mentioned, Can see no reason why he'd lie. He said himself that he has a list of players and is trying to sign the first choice and if that fails quickly moving on to the next one. Makes sense to me as if we missed out on Macauley, Johnson or Jones we'd be pretty miffed we never bothered enquiring. I think Millen knows what he is doing in the tranfer market to be honest.
