Excellent

[bfcjg]

At last. I couldn't take anymore ice cream jokes.
Welcome to Burnley !

[summitclaret]

Brilliant news. Witches hats off to the new Board for this. It is absolutely what we need, provided we don't sell Dwight.

[Pearcey]

Looks like a cracking signing. I’m absolutely delighted! UTC.

[Longsider]

Never heard of him, this one went below the radar.

[Cubanforever]

Welcome to Burnley Maxwel, wishing you the best of luck

[JohnDearyMe]

Now this has really given the place a lift. Exciting signing

[Whitgord]

He’s wearing a mic in that photo so I am expecting an interview from him soon. Welcome Maxwel.

[MACCA]

His Interview on clarets player...

Welcome Maxwel

[Jimmymaccer]

Good stuff and presumably will cheer Lord Dyche up enough for him also to commit.

Now let’s stuff Weeds.

[Murger]

Magnifique.

[tarkys_ears]

Very very very positive news.

[Walkerpool]

Really happy with this signing welcome Maxwel cornet. UTC

[channelislandclaret]

Who was the guy interviewing him on clarets player? Presuming its Darren Bentleys replacement

[Moorite]

[Ric_C]

Great stuff

Just to emphasise how far we have come, 30 years ago we had just signed Mark Yates for 50k

[Murger]

Who was the guy interviewing him on clarets player? Presuming its Darren Bentleys replacement

He's a poor interviewer.

[Blyclaret]

Brilliant brilliant signing. Congrats to everyone involved.

[fatboy47]

Significant step forward for the squad if, , its not counterbalanced by the departure of DM.

[Bosscat]

Who was the guy interviewing him on clarets player? Presuming its Darren Bentleys replacement

Not a replacement at all, he has been doing stuff on "Clarets Player" for a long time now ... especially on "Turf More" alongside DB

[ClaretTony]

And it's €15m rather than £15m according to Lyon who have posted the following on their website.


Olympique Lyonnais informs of the transfer of its Ivorian international, Maxwel Cornet, to the English club Burnley (Premier League) for an amount of € 15 million, of which 15% will be donated to FC Metz as part of the capital gain achieved by the 'OL on this operation.
Arrived at Olympique Lyonnais in January 2015 from FC Metz for an amount of € 400,000, Maxwel Cornet will have played 252 matches with OL, including 184 in Ligue 1, scoring 51 goals, including several decisive against Manchester City in the League of Champions.

Selected 21 times with the Ivorian national team (4 goals), the 24-year-old striker, who can also play as a left-back, is now one of the 30 most capped players in the club's history.

It's Pete Oliver who is currently standing in as media manager.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Well done to the club.

[lrac]

Wow brilliant

[Peter Loo]

Well well it's finally happened, welcome to the Turf Maxwell

[Iloveyoubrady]

Brilliant! I liked his interview - seems a nice chap. His English is ok and will improve rapidly. Top 20 scorers in Lyons rich history. Our highest profile signing by a long way - 6 champions league goals in 20 odd games. Buzzing

[williamjblazkowicz]

About time! Welcome to Burnley FC, Maxwel (and well done Burnley FC for getting the deal over the line!).

[northernpowerhouse]

Great signing. From what I can tell he's pacy, works hard and is a decent finisher - perfect for this team.

Presumably he'll start on the right but I wonder if he'll get a chance up front at some point. Barnes and JRod look done so maybe you could play him behind Wood.

[4:20]

Brilliant. Can't quite believe we've signed a player of, on paper, that calibre for that amount.

[Rileybobs]

Presume he only signed for 5 years as he’s got his eyes set on Berlin.

[claretblue]

Delighted delighted delighted

not as delighted delighted delighted delighted as I am!

UTC

[CleggHall]

He speaks well, goodish English, a fine acquisition, just what we needed this Sunday morning.

[Tall Paul]

Great stuff, let's hope he lives up to expectations. Well done to everyone at the club involved in getting it over the line.

[ElectroClaret]

Just to emphasise how far we have come, 30 years ago we had just signed Mark Yates for 50k

Aye. The days of the David Reeves bucket seem light years ago.

Welcome MC.

[levraiclaret]

Who was the guy interviewing him on clarets player? Presuming its Darren Bentleys replacement

It is the regular interviewer for studio interviews Pete Oliver, Darren Bentley mostly did the after match pitchside interviews.
This is excellent news, well done Mr Pace.

[Boss Hogg]

Looks to be a very good signing. Will make us less predictable. Now just need to strengthen CM and one of Jay Rod or Barnes and we should be looking good.

[mikeS]

Welcome Maxwell.
All the very best in your time here in Burnley.

[Steve1956]

Welcome...here's to a long and successful career at our fantastic club...chuffed that's over the line,one or two more would be nice though,....or am I being greedy?

[taio]

Really pleased with this. Big commitment signing a five year deal. Talk of language barrier and lack of interpreters at the club but speaks English so another secondary positive.

[Wokingclaret]

We got him at last, Welcome Cornet

[Sproggy]

Excellent news. Mentioned "the president" a couple of times in his interview - presumably Alan Pace?

That makes great reading!! To quote the old football saying. I'm over the (Blue )moon...

[Blatherwickstattoo]

Fantastic player with the pace and skill we have been crying out for for years!

I have a feeling we will make a lot of profit after a few years too. Cannot wait to see him in action!

[dibraidio]

I have posted a few times on the Transfer Window Rumours thread to try and share what's been in the French press, most of which was negative. I have to say I was skeptical because this is so far from the type of player that we normally sign but if this is a sign of the intent of "President" Pace then this is clear proof that they want to take the club to the next level.

J’espère que tu ne lis pas ce site mais si c'est le cas bienvenue Maxwel.
