Even though they are very different players Cullen reminds me a little of Brownhill in his first season in the PL, just that fraction of a second slow in thought and that's lethal at this level - he's already 27 so he should be hitting his true peak levels soon enough (whatever they may be). When you consider how imperious he was last season I've been surprised by him, I thought he was one who would step up comfortably.
Theres usually a reason players havent made it at the top level by his age and why we got him for such a small fee, we were a bit naive thinking otherwise really.
I think Cork was superior to him even last season but was harshly dropped. He has that special quality of never looking rushed which Brownhill and Cullen just dont have.

Important to note that Cullen had absolutely 0 help in the middle to start the season, and our shape in general was woeful.

He played well at Spurs in the Cup and again against Luton (although appreciate they aren't the greatest team in the league)...

As for Jack Cork - in all honesty, one of our greatest players since the glory days, top player.
