If he was such a brilliant player then I'm sure he would be wanted by better clubs then Blackpool or Southampton.

Everyone wants bigger clubs but to get to a bigger club, you have to earn it, you don't just choose. Whatever club goes in for u is who you're gonna play for unless u wanna waste your career away and not get noticed staying in the reserves.

Chelsea pricing out Jack Cork from a move?

It is understood that four or five interested clubs have now been unable to agree a fee with Chelsea, who are said to be determined not to budge in their financial demands.

played well in PL for Burnley if Henderson is worth 20 mill Cork must be worth THREE ,,,,we sell our players far too cheap

Read he's off to Southampton.

750k the mentioned price.

If that is the price I'm gob-smacked, Burnley offered £1.1 million according to rumours in January.

[Kostas 1,468]

Guess it's due to his contract expiring at the end of 2011-2012, it's either getting the money now or letting him negotiate with whoever he wants in January.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Fair point. Just gutted to see him go, he seems one of the most competent of our youngsters.

Skysports.com understands Southampton are set to win the race for Chelsea midfielder Jack Cork.

Cork has been resigned to leaving Chelsea as he is well down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

A host of Championship clubs have been chasing the highly-rated England Under 21 international this summer.

Cork, who spent last season on loan at Burnley, has attracted interest from the likes of the Clarets, Nottingham Forest and Blackpool, but Southampton are closing on the 21-year-old's signature.

Southampton boss Nigel Adkins is a big admirer of the versatile performer and sees him as a key addition as he plans for next season back in the Championship.

Cork enjoyed a loan spell at Southampton during the 2008/09 season and he is expected to seal a return to St Mary's before the end of the week.
