• Jack Cork....Brilliant Signing

Posted: **Mon Aug 28, 2017 11:28 pm**

Together with a fully fit Defour, not forgetting Hendrick, we have a
superb midfield that will only get better with playing together.

Good times.

Posted: **Mon Aug 28, 2017 11:36 pm**

God knows why Swansea let him go, we could say the same for most of our players though.

Posted: **Mon Aug 28, 2017 11:40 pm**

He's the glue that we've needed in midfield for ages. Very classy and composed. Certainly bringing out the best in Defour too.

Posted: **Mon Aug 28, 2017 11:41 pm**

Highway robbery 10 million is a steal,compliments Defour also

Swansea allowed him to leave, but hey-ho their loss is our gain

Posted: **Mon Aug 28, 2017 11:46 pm**

some people just lose their way. Bit like Joey, he's found his true home

We could do if we were extremely stupid and couldn't recognise all of the circumstances.

So what were the circumstances for Swansea letting Cork go and Villa letting Lowton leave, Mr expert?

Quality, thoughtful, player, with plenty of Prem experience.
Finds space so he can have a look around before committing.
He obviously buys into the way Sean Dyches wants him to play, and passes and tackles so well.
A great bit of business and one of the first name on the team sheet.

A classy player and one of my favourite players of the last decade.

The amount of space that he finds for himself bodes well for the rest of the season, especially with the likes of Vokes, Wood and Walters up front.

A fantastic piece of business for the Club.

His goal at Deadwood gave him instant "Clarets Legend" status.

I'm liking this midfield,i'm liking it a lot.

Jack has been excellent. He looks a far better player now than the one that previously played for us.

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 4:15 pm**

Another great performance, what a signing.

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 4:16 pm**

best ten million pound signing this season, , defensively gives so much cover to the back four

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 4:16 pm**

Compliments the team superbly.

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 4:17 pm**

Just said exactly the same,What a bargain

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 4:17 pm**

and the Swansea fans thought they stole our money - top player for us and gives Defour so much extra belief in us

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 4:19 pm**

Outstanding again

Very different.
We lost our better players because they wanted to leave or contracts were coming to their final year. They sold Cork because they didn't see him as good enough.

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 4:28 pm**

He has been so good, so consistent and solid.

Makes the team tick by allowing Defour the flexibility to roam more as he likes to. What a fabulous double act they are.

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 4:29 pm**

The missing link.

Some of his tackling today was top notch as well, made it look like an art form, which it is of course.
Outstanding signing.

No i think KRBFC means that we can say "why dis so amd so let him go?" about a lot of our players.

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 4:35 pm**

Given that they were bound to lose Siggurdsson, selling Cork relatively cheaply does look nuts

I meant you could say the same (god knows why they let him leave) about most of our players. Example, god knows why Huddersfield let Arfield go.

That's because God is a claret young man.

Difficult to understate just how much this lad has improved our team

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 5:17 pm**

Brilliant player. Was disappointed when Swansea signed him from Southampton in 13/14

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 6:05 pm**

Great credit has to go to the Manager and his staff - it's amazing how pretty much every player has improved

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 6:11 pm**

Just spotted on BBC comments.

"Everton have spent more this season, than Burnley have in their whole 135 years of history"

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 6:18 pm**

I think he was worth the sat nav to cork video introduction.

And that is saying something.

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 6:35 pm**

I wanted Swansea to get relegated last season, as I thought Jack Cork would be the perfect achievable signing, if they did. I was amazed when we signed him after they stayed up. He has been better than what I expected. He's a better version of Joey Barton, so he's fit straight into the system.

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 7:12 pm**

from watching on the TV he looked to be doing a lot of organizing today and was very vocal especially in the last 25 mins

Posted: **Sun Oct 01, 2017 8:22 pm**

Much as I hated Brian Laws he had the vision to bring him to the Turf originally and again following our relegation. Surprised Eddy Howe did not go for him in Summer. Very stylish midfielder

Posted: **Mon Oct 30, 2017 10:03 pm**

Once again, must be one of the best signings we've made for years.
Another fab performance.

Posted: **Mon Oct 30, 2017 10:45 pm**

Absolutely superb tonight (and all season). I was fairly unexcited when we signed him this summer but now I think we have an absolute bargain at £10M or whatever. I love watching him and Defour so much I almost don't care about our relative lack of end product !!

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2017 5:28 pm**

Bet Clement was watching him today thinking " what possessed me to flog him?"
Another cracker.

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2017 5:55 pm**

Why on earth did Swansea sell him? Their transfer business recently has been very odd

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2017 6:02 pm**

Cork sealing some vintage Claret.

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2017 6:32 pm**

How they sold him and signed clucas for more is beyond me clueless more like.

The signing of Sanches is looking ill judged too

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2017 6:35 pm**

Sanches is a talent but clearly only plays for himself.

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2017 6:35 pm**

His shots from distanxe were exactly what we deal with. Obviously didnt do their homework on us.

Posted: **Sat Nov 18, 2017 7:13 pm**

Liked the fact that Jack celebrated his goal unlike others that score against former clubs

Swansea fans still aren't having it!

They're in denial, I tell thee!

On the basis of what I saw today I would say that Jack Cork was Swansea's best player. But he's not anymore.

Posted: **Wed Nov 22, 2017 10:56 am**

from the article below:

'...Jack Cork’s November, which already included his England debut, duly got better. “What a couple of weeks he has had,” said his manager, Sean Dyche. “That was the business that was decided to be done,” said Clement, suggesting it was not his decision. “I like Jack a lot...'
