Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[Spijed]

Can someone ask the oracle - namely Mr Nixon what's his take on it?

[Targetman]

Apparently we have upped our offer to over 50k a week.

Where is the source for that info?

Seen as he probably potentially represents our best chance towards retaining our league status we can’t afford to be bolshy, diplomacy is key.

And if he says no? how long do we give him, our windows invariably have been garbage this one is crucial we cannot let the tail wag the dog.

[FCBurnley]

So if you were Cornet would you rather live and play in Lyon or move to Burnley for an extra £x per week ?

[snapcrackleandpop]

If he is dithering and hankering for another club then IMHO he's not s Dyche type player and might unsettle the changing room, As intimidated before give him 24 hours then move on.

If he’s p**ing about tell him to ****off and move on now never mind 24 hours

[Rileybobs]

I can see that we have some top negotiators on this message board.

[ClaretMov]

They follow the money regardless of who it comes from

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Lets hope we have a plan b if he gives the backword

[ClaretAndJew]

Lennon

Lyon have obviously made it clear he can go

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

Lennon

[Belial]

Exactly - why not just ring him up direct and give him 5 minutes for an answer...

[Stevie Morgan]

Lot of stuff from nixon on twitter. Bit concerned fee and structure are widely reported now. Almost as if agent would like to put that out there for other suitors....

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

I see Christie has been mentioned on Sky that were interested, good news, definitely improves midfield is so

[boatshed bill]

So if you were Cornet would you rather live and play in Lyon or move to Burnley for an extra £x per week ?

Burnley every time

Lyon want rid, don't they/
I think this is a hell of a gamble on the club's part, could go very wrong as he doesn't appear (from what info we have) to be anything like a Dyche player.

[Belial]

Lyon doesn't have the Big Window

[ClaretMov]

Andy Carroll tipped to join Burnley........good god no

[boatshed bill]

Perfect!

So we let him tickle our tummies do we then, if he is really unsure he’s not the player for us.

[warksclaret]

When SD managed to get Joey Barton to join, had it gone on as long as this, people would be saying hes not a Dyche player. He turned out to be a fabulous acquisition. It gets me when people say Cornet cannot be a Dyche player. No one on here has met him.

[beddie]

If Cornet is not sure about moving to Burnley then he’s not right for us, we really don’t want him to come and then in due course decide he’s not happy and wants to leave. He could of course just be delaying in order to get a better offer, I just hope he’s not using us for that reason with no intention of ever coming to us.There’s a lot to be said for giving him an ultimatum, 48 hours or we move on.

[Lancasterclaret]

Nixon is saying that that if he can do better than what we've offered, then he's a lucky boy

Basically saying that we've done all we can do, and its up to him

If he says no btw, can we please not start with the blame game, as it looks like we've done all we could possibly do sort of kidnapping him

[Rileybobs]

So we let him tickle our tummies do we then, if he is really unsure he’s not the player for us.

Yea let’s let him tickle our tummies, whatever that means.

[Iloveyoubrady]

Nixon raised valid point about pay off there. Not only will he get a nice boost on his contract, he’ll get his current contract paid off by Lyon... plenty of extra cash to join us. I’ve heard he would fit in quite well as a “dyche player” as he is apparently a “warrior...”

[boatshed bill]

But the JB signing didn't drag on like this.

[snapcrackleandpop]

You’re not a stupid man I would think it is obvious what I mean. Keep us dangling in case a better offer comes in.

[Rileybobs]

Do you not think that all players, and managers which includes Dyche, will negotiate over their contracts? This isn’t about having tummies tickled, it’s the way the world works. If you want us to sign better players than what we have then you need to understand that they’re not going to jump at their first offer.

But it is dragging on which could be very detrimental to our window, I hope he signs but only if he really wants to be here.

[Jimmymaccer]

Show him that old video clip of Peter Mellor signing and then his new MGBGT on the street in Burnley…….that should swing it!

[matttheclaret]

100% this. Sounds like we can't do any more. Record bid, big wages, five year deal (apparently). Can't blame the club for this if he doesn't come.

[Rileybobs]

But it is dragging on which could be very detrimental to our window, I hope he signs but only if he really wants to be here.

If he is our first choice target then I presume the people who run the football club and have experience in such matters are willing to give it time to get over the line. Setting an arbitrary 24 or 48 hour deadline is just dumb.

Just because he hasn’t signed yet doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to be here. As far as I’m aware Lyon haven’t even accepted our offer yet!

[jojomk1]

We are one of the regular favourites for relegation as per the last two seasons - yes I know we once played in Europe, but, like most realistic people, I don't live in the past
We can offer so much, but it has to be in the back of his mind that relegation would mean a substantial drop in wages whatever they are
We either let his wages stay as they are if relegated or we write a relegation release clause into his contract with a minimum fee to be attained
If this guy is stringing us along then it's time to move on and I wouldn't complain
I don't want someone playing for us who is not 100% committed to the cause

[RalphCoatesComb]

If this guy is stringing us along then it's time to move on and I wouldn't complain - AGREED !

I don't want someone playing for us who is not 100% committed to the cause - We've had enough of those down the years but thankfully not too many !!!

[Lancasterclaret]

Bizarre

We need better players to improve, and it might be a struggle attracting them, so we have to really try hard to sell the club to the player

it sounds like some of you have completely unrealistic expectations of what that involves tbf

[Spijed]

So if you were Cornet would you rather live and play in Lyon or move to Burnley for an extra £x per week ?

As has been discussed players can live in the very expensive parts of the North West on their wages, not Stoops estate.

Just because he hasn’t signed yet doesn’t mean he doesn’t want to be here. As far as I’m aware Lyon haven’t even accepted our offer yet!

So how long do we give him let’s say 10.30pm on the 31st August, we surely must have a deadline.

Nixon seems convinced that both the amount and terms of payment are acceptable to Lyon

[Bigvince]

Nixon “If he can get a better five year deal and a pay off from Lyon … then he would be a lucky boy. Burnley can’t do much more than they have done”

[Tall Paul]

This has been obvious for a long time and it's being perfectly illustrated here.

[Spijed]

Andy Carroll tipped to join Burnley........good god no

He'd be perfect for us, if he could just stay fit!

[Spijed]

So Cornet, Carroll, Christie, Lennon & Collins.

A perfect window!

[Rileybobs]

So how long do we give him let’s say 10.30pm on the 31st August, we surely must have a deadline.

Well obviously we will have a deadline, but it won’t be with more than a week of the transfer window left.

[minnieclaret]

My number one concern is sign Cornet, sell Dwight.

[Iloveyoubrady]

My number one concern is sign Cornet, sell Dwight.

Won’t happen. We want another winger - dyche has said that. Dyche would walk away instantly if we signed 1 winger, and then sold 1, leaving us with 2 again...

[randomclaret2]

If Cornet ( pronounced Cornay ) signs , to potentially link up with Collins, would a Hairspray reference be too obscure ?

[RalphCoatesComb]

Andy Carroll tipped to join Burnley........good god no

Just NO !

[Spijed]

If people are happy for Ashley Barnes to play for us why are some against Andy Carroll?

[RVclaret]

Carroll is way past it with injuries and fitness plus if we are going to sign a striker it needs to be the exact opposite ‘type’ to him.

[Murger]

If Carroll signs, then Vydra will probably be leaving. We'll have the most 1 dimensional strike force in the whole of English football.
