Would be nice to get an objective review of him from a Lyon fan. Incredibly mixed reviews on social media.

But if someone asked us for an objective view of say McNeil, some would say the best thing since sliced bread whilst others would say 1 footed and lightweight. There’s a reason clubs don’t listen to the nonsense most fans come out with!!!

[Tall Paul]

Who told you that?

joey13 and KBRFC among others.

[Firthy]

And still waiting on news today , now will it be good news ?

Nothing today it's only Wednesday, you know nothing happens till Thursdays

[claretonthecoast1882]

Jim Carrey & Jeff Daniels come to mind when you see those 2 names together

[CharlieinNewMexico]

And still waiting on news today , now will it be good news ?

Medical Wednesday when we have an away match.

Magical signing day Thursday is when we film and release the video. my god After all these puns I hope he’s not getting a 99 at Slaters. (Is that still there?)

[jackmiggins]

Mr Blobby and Lucrezia Borgia spring to mind?

[superdimitri]

Knowing our luck he won't pass his medical..

Living rent free in your head , maybe try getting a life ,or therapy could possibly help .

[minnieclaret]

All these Cornet, Cornay puns are CORNY.

Your opinion is way too high of yourself if you think you have any impact on my life joey. I just acknowledge dumbness when it is displayed on a public forum for all to see, but if it makes you feel better yes I think about you a lot

You must be desperate for this signing not to happen after your silly comments all summer

[karatekid]

Arsenal after Tripps apparently with AMN one of six leaving.

If/when Cornet signs

[ewanrob]

Something just popped up on Burnley express twitter, West Ham plooting late swoop for Burnley target...old news ?

[RVclaret]

Arsenal after Tripps apparently with AMN one of six leaving.

A season long loan for AMN with an agreed buy next summer could work for us.

It’s reported that arsenal need to sell to get the funding for Tripps.

There you go again making assumptions, wrongly as usual , but if it keeps you happy

[Guller Bull]

OK lets just get Tripps instead.

[RVclaret]

Fair one. Maybe the £15m we have bid for Cornet could be used for AMN should that deal fall through then.

Will the pair of you quit with this personal ****. This is the reason threads get deleted.

Steve Bruce says he doesn't expect any more signings, so I don't think they are a threat to us signing Cornet. West Ham are circling though and they can offer more in wages than us. If Moyes Gazumps us, there are going to be an awful lot of disappointed people on this board, including me. I think the most disappointed though will be Alan Pace, who seems determined to get his man.

If we don't hear something in the next couple of days, that could mean Cornet's reps are also wanting to talk to West Ham before making a decision. If that becomes the case, I really don't fancy our chances.

We have had almost 4 weeks to sort this, and only a few days ago met their asking price. If he goes to WHU we will miss a major signing through our procrastination, and will end up in panic mode in the next 5-6 days

[Grimsdale]

I'd be surprised if West Ham are in for Cornet, been nothing apart from a "we understand" comment on a clickbait site. Hammers much more likely to be after Lingard.

You often say things like this, but you need to realise players of this standard (especially abroad) are never going to rush to sign for us. It is delusional to think this has dragged on down to the club.

[kentonclaret]

if anyone pronounces his name Cornet (net) they need to hand in their season ticket and receive a lifetime ban !

Surely the key question is will it be NAY or YAY?

[BLH_Claret]

Pretty much all links between West Ham and Cornet quote the click bait report from 90mins.

[warksclaret]

I hope you are right Grimsdale. They will be active in the market this week, as their squad lacks depth for a club that wants to repeat last years success, plus they will have a lot of games in the Europa (and their domestic cups). They will want someone to deputise for Antonio (who is injury prone), and Cresswell who is 32 and probably could not play every game.They have already signed Zouma

[BabylonClaret]

Just one Cornet, oh!
Score goals for me,
Maxwel Cornet, oh!
For Burn-eh-ley!!

Surely if he signs there's a chant in Maxwell's Silver Hammer somewhere?

Quirky but definitely original.

I don't think 'Procrastination' has anything to do with it. I'd call the delay 'Due diligence.' As for when the bid was put in and accepted, no one really knows. It's just speculation. I hope the W Ham link is just that, speculation. From Cornet's point of view, it's simply a matter of wages and if West Ham want to, they can beat us on that.

Certainly, if Cornet is as good as we are led to believe, it wouldn't be surprising if other clubs are interested.

Comments like this are so tiresome. What would you have done to make him sign earlier?

It is most likely the player and his agent causing the delay looking for a better deal. If West Ham come in these tactics have proved right, for him

It’s called business

[Dodobdobodobo]

I hope I’m wrong but I can see this all ending in tears. Newcastle will sell on Allan Saint-Maximin for a big fee which will leave them with plenty in the coffers to sneak Maxwells C from under our noses with a better personal offer. Fingers crossed I am wrong as I think by all reports this lad will be a gud un.
COYC get it over the line!

You may call it "business", but we need to get smarter in an area of our business where we are sadly lacking behind even the Norwich's and Brentford's of this world. The first time you ever hear of these transfers are when they are complete. We have a lot to learn.We are in the PL and for a club of our size you only survive by being savvy or smart. We cant keeping hiding behind the "little old Burnley" of this world label.

Which player of the standard of Cornet have Norwich or Brentford signed and nobody in the world knew about until it was done ?

If you mean nobody in this area heard of Norwich signing someone until it was announced you may be right, probably due to nobody being arsed and vice versa. Who is hiding behind this "little old Burnley" it is just a stupid comment to make.

Lyon, Cornet, and the agent all have a vested interest in delaying and making the bid public to try and attract a bidding war. Nothing BFC can do about that.

The only option is to make a bid so vast, with such high wages, that Lyon and Cornet both agree on the spot. That isn't going to happen. Should it? I doubt we could afford the across-the-board wage increases throughout the squad that would be inevitable, if it became known that BFC were soft touches who would pay whatever you ask.

[Lancasterclaret]

Quite worrying that after 156 pages, some posters appear to think signing players is like it is on football manager

Wish it was. Andy Carrol and Daniel Sturridge once fired my York team to the Champions League. Though I had edited the game to give us a financial backer. But that's irrelevant and don't see why we can't just do the same.

How long do you think it will take to sell ASM and do you think the geordies would be happy with that deal?

The whole process of a transfer seems to take at least 3 days .

If Newcastle want Cornet instead of ASM then we will have him instead.
Everyone's a winner.

No one on here really yet knows "the standard of Cornet". However Norwich have recently signed Sargent for £8m from Werder Bremen, Tzolis from PAOK for £10m, plus secured a very shrewd loan of Bryn Williams from Man Utd for 12 months, who is an outstanding young attacking fullback.I am sure they tried to get them at the best price and the lowest wage, as they too don't have a wealth of funds.

There are no hints of anyone trying to sign Allan Saint-Maximin though.

Brandon (not Bryn) Williams was wanted by Southampton on loan the terms they were offered included a 2m loan fee plus pay his wage in full which would have made him the highest paid player at the club above the likes of Ings, Ward Prowse & Walcott to call it shrewd is lacking in information.

As for not knowing the standard, he has just done 6 full seasons for Lyon in Ligue 1, played in the Champs League including reaching the semi finals and is a full international

[leightonjameslegend]

Bruce said yesterday he expects no new signings at Newcastle. As for Cornet we will have already sounded out his agent and we will be finalising the finer points. Stories of West Ham coming in with a late bid seem like clickbate!
If this gets done it's a real statement by Pace and Co. Add in Christie or AMN then this will have been the best window in years.

[HahaYeah]

It was Nixon who said that another team was sniffing.

[Jakubclaret]

It’s maxwell house some people need to wake up & smell the coffee.

[boatshed bill]

If we get him I'm fully expecting "Bang Bang, Maxwell's Silver Hammer" when he scores

[claret2018]

Just one Cornet goal!

Give it to me!

[Bullabill]

Can this Cornet bloke play in more than one position?

[Bigvince]

I’m feeling very nervous about our pursuit of Cornet, the longer it drags on, the less likely we are to get him.
