Jack Cork leaves for Southampton

[BlueLion. 21,491]

If the club want to keep these promising youngsters then new contract offers need to be made, IMO.

Certainly, they could use some of the Wages of Ballack, Deco, Carvalho etc to offer our youngsters better contracts

[5354 204]

Maybe we can tag a 'BUY-BACK' clause...

[Luke 60]

Perhaps a season long loan to Burnley in the Championship, or even to someone like West Brom, Nescastle, Notts Forest/Blackpool to get some more PL experience.

I hope this doesnt go through, Corky is a little Chelsea-Legend, there since 7, always been captaining his sides, in our youth and in the nationalteams he has played for...

and just scored his first Prem goal, yesterday, I hope Arnesen recognises this, i was pissed of, when they bought Matic, instead giving him a chance, he can play LB, RB, CB and DM, so dont tell me he couldn't be useful for us, I'm really gutted, he is one of the few players of our Academy, that could easily play in the first team, together with mikel as DM in the next Season, so get him back, as fast as possible...

I think it would be a Mistake to get rid of Jack. Watching most of the games he has played for Burnley since he went out on load, he has impressed me in most of the games. His header yesterday was a very good finish. Sign him up Chels!

Yeah, that and proving that they will be given their fair share of chances in the first team. Hopefully next season it will happen and Carlo stick to his words.

Jack Cork will not be sold this summer, and most certainly Miro Stoch won't be either.

Bruma, Borini, Hutchinson, Kakuta ect. have had the benefit of being around during Carlo's first season. Players like Cork, Mancienne, Bertrand ect.. will all come back in the summer and be looked at, and Carlo will be given full reports of everyone. Jack Cork is a very talented midfielder and i am sure the club are keen to keep him on at Chelsea.

Jack Cork is a really good player. I saw his goal against Tottenham on Sunday and it reminded me of seeing Lamps at his best, arriving late in the box and scoring, albeit with his head.

[Blueboy 14]

The club is going to decide over the future of the likes of Ballack etc after the FA Cup final. I think they'll do the same with the youngsters, so we probably will have to wait a little while before we know anything about his future at Chelsea. Watched a fair amount of his games at Burnley, and i would really be disappointed if we let him go.

[Shane 2,275]

Stoch imo could be a possible replacement for Joe Cole, Either playing on the right of a 4-3-3 or in a Malouda like role in the centre.

JACK Cork is quitting Chelsea in the summer after accepting he will never force his way into the first team.

The midfielder, 20, has just ended a loan stint at Burnley – the sixth of his Chelsea career.

And he is now ready to end his dream of playing for the Blues and find a permanent new home.

His father Alan, former Wimbledon striker, said: “I think he’s pretty much realised now that it’s not going to happen for him at Chelsea.

“He has been there since he was seven but they have got about 40 players and just won the Youth Cup.

“They have a lot of good young players.

“They have Ryan Bertrand who has been out on loan at Reading, Scott Sinclair at Wigan and Michael Mancienne at Wolves.

“If eight or nine of them go back at once they’re not all going to get a game.

“Jack has got two years left on his contract at Chelsea, so it’s all down to what they want to do. I think Coventry put a bid in.”

Well, the same Interview from before then...We should get a good amount of money for him no?

I really really don't want to see him leave but it seems like that's the case at the moment

THE STAR is almost always wrong

Vital Chelsea reports Jack Cork is in talks with Swansea City

I don't like the idea of this!

[BlueLion. 21,491]

We should sell him if he thinks he won't ever get in to the squad. That's not the right sort of mentality.

[chrismada9 1,948]

True I suppose, but it means yet another English player walking out the Chelsea door! :unsure:
