Hi Ed any truth to the reports Jack Cork has rejected a new contract with us? I can understand he maybe frustrated with lack of game time

{Ed002's Note - I really don't know if he has rejected the offer or not.}

Ok Ed appreciate the reply I personally hope he signs it but Could understand him wanting to go for regular first team football

From the sound of the interview he gave the other day he is going to fight for his space for the rest of the season then see what happens.
The way I see it he will sign either if he nails down a first team spot or we get cl (meaning he will play a bigger part as we will need the whole squad)
Otherwise he clearly wants a regular starting spot, and who can blame him. I hope he does well whatever happens.

If that is his decision jmSaint I would find it a little strange. Can't see he would get many games ahead of HR during the rest of the season if this was his approach-unless we suddenly had an epidemic amongst our DM's.
Signing a contract does not mean he could not leave in the summer, it would just mean the club would be paid. He is a good player and there would be many clubs willing to pay a realistic fee for him, and this would not be difficult for him to organise with Saints ahead of signing a contract. At the very least, that would give him the rest of the season receiving more money (double???, according to one media source) whilst he fights for his place.

I am not sure but Jack has been a great servant to Saints over the last 3 years or so but never seems to hold a permanent midfield place down which I think must frustrate him a tad. He is certainly worth having in the squad and at this stage he may get more chances than Harry Reed due to his experience. He is a versatile player that has even covered at central defender before and full back. I just think he is maybe waiting to see whether another PL club makes a move for him but deep down I feel he would very much like to be involved with our march forwards. A very difficult choice for the player but just hope he chooses to stay because we need players of his quality and commitment, seems a top bloke too.
