Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[martin_p]

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

Or maybe the longer it drags on the more likely we are to get him. There’s no other offer on the table acceptable to Lyon and the clock is ticking.

Enough stuff online yesterday from rock solid sources to suggest this is almost done.

Obviously there is always a chance it might fall down, but I'd hazard a guess that it would have to be a CL club coming in late and hard, and that is very unlikely

Or a club that has started the season well, and can offer a far bigger financial package than we can. West Ham springs to mind!

[burnley007]

I'm surprised there isn't more interest in Christie. Looks like a bargain to be had there for someone.
Is there an issue with the player? Are there any off-field problems?
I hope we get him tbh, seems like a Dyche player, that he could seriously improve.

Also, is Hughes going to Palace? I think Dyche would really get him to be the top player he should have been, this would be an awesome signing potentially.

Let's hope that the next week is very exciting for us Clarets with signings, (although I'm not expecting too much on the pitch!)

Up to you mate, but you might want to be a bit more positive!

[NewClaret]

Just one Cornet goal!

Give it to me!

Just one Corn-ay goal

Give it to me

He came to Turf Moor

From Cote d'Ivoire...

[CrosspoolClarets]

We can all choose to be optimistic or pessimistic depending on our nature, but nothing changes the fact that a club like Burnley either tries to buy average players nobody wants or better players where we will lose out at times.

If we did lose out what we expect is a Plan B - that’s been the disappointment in the past, that there hasn’t been one. But we have no divine right to succeed with our main target. West Ham at the moment would be an attractive proposition and rightly so.

[boyyanno]

If we do sign Cornet, and given that his name is pronounced Cornay I'd like to put forward as an original but very cheesey chant:

Wev'e got Maxwel Cornet
Scoring his goals playing at Turf Moor

(To Raspberry Beret by Prince.)

[NewClaret]

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

There were rumours at the weekend that the medical was booked for Wednesday. It seems to tie in with other reports that something is happening today...

I think when sources like Fabrizio Romano and Nicolo Schira are reporting the deal, it must be very close. I can't remember many (any, in fact) breaking down after they report them. That said, if we've tried all summer to get a deal over the line and a player gets their head turned by someone coming in last minute, I'd just see it as a bullet well dodged.

[Woodleyclaret]

The main issue hasn't changed.The process at Burnley always seems to drag out
It's either too low bids, player not interested or a myriad of other reasons.
We are slowly improving however, with our change of owners

Nixon said yesterday that a medical hadn't been booked as yet.

[Lancasterclaret]

Some of you want to read stuff online that tells you that this won't happen, or that other teams are going to get him

Some of us read the stuff online that tells you exactly where we are with this

Only Nixon has mentioned anything, and that was a one line tweet saying "another club is sniffing*

Thats it

Look, if this continues throughout the week, then yes, be concerned, but at the moment its all clicking into place

[Elizabeth]

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.

The BBC football website have linked West Ham with 3 different foreign players on each day of this week. They haven’t followed up their Cornet link from yesterday but instead moved on to another name. It’s really just a big game to them.
I fully concur that Lingard will be the one they will want in after his very successful loan last season.

[boatshed bill]

Don't be nervous; you can't lose what you never had.

[NewClaret]

Nixon said yesterday that a medical hadn't been booked as yet.

Something has obviously happened yesterday though, in terms of movement, and today appears from reports to be a key day - whether that is medical or not, who knows? I'm not sure Nixon would either, to be honest.

I do think there may be an element of this deal being leaked to attract other interest, but if so, there's very little we can do about that and I'm sure Pace/Dyche will have read the mood music and have other options lined up.

We started out with nothing and still have most of it

[Juan Tanamera]

What could be potentially turning into one of our best ever days in the transfer market and some supporters are in wrist slashing mode.
Does football really get to you that much?

[Cirrus_Minor]

Sometimes it is good when other clubs are interested in a player, shows that we are not chasing a dud.

No, but it will be like running the full length of the pitch, shrugging off challenges and beating defenders, only to scuff your shot when within sight of the goal.

Or scoring goal of the season

My lads wanting a new home shirt...... he can't decide on 'Cornet' or 'Tarks' on the back ?? I can't decide which is the safest option ?? ideas ?

Definitely Cornet! What can possibly go wrong?

[Quickenthetempo]

Can someone message this Cornet fella on Instagram and tell him he gets to meet Jimmy Anderson if he signs.
Be done by 1pm.

Get either and just follow the example set by a Villa fan if it doesn't work out

[LaLigaClaret]

It was Nixon who said that another team was sniffing.

I'm not nervous about it being West Ham as they get linked with every player who gets a mention in the transfer window usually via social media clickbait. I would be more worried it may be Crystal Palace who are looking for a winger and have Viera as their manager who will have contacts and knowledge of French teams etc.

We will know the outcome sometime this week but if we don't get Cornet then we need to have other targets we need to move quickly on. I still think we are likely to get him but it is a nervous time.

[Pearcey]

You can’t blame Cornet exploring his options (if that’s what he’s doing) as it’s a big move for him. It doesn’t mean he has a bad attitude or that we’ve ‘dodged a bullet’. I’m just chuffed the club are going all out for a quality player. Fingers crossed.

[BleedingClaret]

Depends whether or not he has a genuine interest in actually playing in the premier league as being on the pitch.
A squad player at West Ham could be the best it gets
Playing game after at Burnley, he could see as a shop window to bigger things

[Mala591]

Couldn’t Cornet insist on an automatic transfer request clause if Burnley get relegated?

Not an ideal contract situation but it might help him make his mind up if he’s worried about playing well below his ability level in the Championship.

[Peter Loo]

Only 6 and 1/2 days to go...exciting don't you think

[tiger76]

Yes it's a strange one regarding Christie, at that bargain price you'd have thought there would be several clubs interested, but he's not really been strongly linked to anyone.

I've never heard anything mentioned about his attitude, or indeed any off-field issues either.

The rumour mill suggests Hughes is heading to Palace.

Agree on incomings if we could get 2/3 over the line it could transform the mood of everyone associated with the club, and also get the fans back onside again.

I don't expect a result tonight, but I've got a feeling we'll beat Leeds on Sunday, don't know why just a hunch.

I’d imagine it would be us wanting to get something like that in there. When Stoke were relegated they were left with several high earners who wouldn’t play in the championship but wouldn’t leave because of the money they were on. They’re only just starting to come out the other side now.

I still fancy Gomes to the Turf after a massive bust up with the Estoril hierarchy over Twix’s being priced too reasonably.

There you go boatshed. There's probably a verse too about him being at Lyon and saying that he's the one.

[Newcastleclaret93]

The flight trackers are out on Twitter. It appears a private jet has landed in Lyon from Manchester. I assume our reps have flown there to discuss terms with the player.

It’s CT plus one and CT plus 2 on the way back. This is on!!

[JonBerro]

Jack Wilshere on a free anyone ?

[Bfc]

I hope Cornet is in Burnley today. As this could be his last chance of seeing clear Blue skies and getting some warm sunshine until next year.

[HahaYeah]

Was thinking that yesterday,thank God it's ******* down and blowing a gale.

[Burnley1989]

There’s some sad people

The hysteria and assumptions on this thread have been gold! Im sure it’s the same at other clubs but still funny
