Hi Norman, I've put it in bold and I'll type it out also, you've said "All I know is Lyon is paying a part of his wage." There are a few other posters who appear to agree with your statement. Newcastle93 says he's heard it is 30%. Sorry, guys, that is never going to happen. Maxwel Cornet is a Burnl...

Yes.

Might be totally wrong but I just can't see why Tarkowski would agree to move to Newcastle in January rather than wait until the summer to see what his options are even if the club agreed to sell I get your point, but there's also the argument that he takes a massive wage increase now vs wait and N...

Watching the AFCON. Scouting the new Maxwel for us
Cameroon 1-0 down to a great finish then got 2 pens. 2-1 up at HT

How is he playing?

Scores 10+ every year in the premier league but would struggle to score 10 playing an extra 8 games at a lower standard, I don’t understand that logic

I think you've quoted the wrong poster. It was kentonclaret who wouldn't want him in the Championship.

The service to him in the Championship would be better and I'd be stunned if he didn't get double figures if went down and he was still here. The odds for him to score double figures would be very short.

This.

Which is why we'd be mental to sell if we went down, unless he wants out.

No mcneil
No cornet
No excitement
Thats as simple as it is

McNeil looks disinterested. Hed do well in a better side
Cornet gives his all but is new

Aside from that the rest play like a sunday league team

You'll get a few bites, just be patient.

Norman

In regards to his contract, what happens if we drop and Dyche either doesn't fancy it or someone else comes in for him ? They could agree a mutual departure where he gets paid a portion of his remaining contract - I know the contract will have a compensation clause in it for sure for any suitors If...

Lampard, Rooney, Wilder, Cooper, the chap at West Brom If even be happy to give Bruce a go. Those just off the top of my head.

I'm surprised Newcastle haven't offered us 60 million for Cornet !

I'd accept £99 million just for the comedy value.

He certainly wouldn’t get a prem job that’s for sure. I said yesterday I’d not be bothered if he did go. New manager, fresh ideas, younger more progressive squad, might give us something to get excited about. You say you're not bothered, but who would you bring in? Managers like Fat Sam want millio...

I’m fairly sure Sean would feel the same.

Agree with that one. As I said earlier, Dyche isn't someone who will keep players here if they don't want to be.

Credit to Morecambe that Spurs had to bring their main players on, including the England captain to turn the game.

Well I doubt Dyche will attract many suitors after the past 2 years, so I suspect we can rest easy on that score.

i've never seen it mentioned either, I follow them all on twitter and don't recall it at all. Kudos to Pace though if he managed to get that deal done ! I never saw it in the newspapers when told, so knew it was before then. Definitely fair play to Pace to fly out and convince him to sign. I really...

Norman

That's the real concern, and it's by no means certain that we will bounce straight back, first priority for me in the event of relegation is too drastically reduce the wage bill, there's no way we can afford to carry a wage bill of £90m in the Championship. However the good aspect is we do have 10 ...

A few will be back for Leicester. Only a despicable action by them, conning the system, will stop the game.

Norman

The wood situation for me is the same as Tarky or anyone else for that matter, if you don’t want to be here then off you pop, get a bit of money for them and buy a replacement we can develop. We aren’t winning with them may as well get people in who want to be here Exactly - IF. He might not be unh...

Out of interest what is the source?

If I told you, I'd have to kill you. It's a good source from someone who works closely with the club, but I see literally once every 3-4 years. Much earlier than the newspapers.

Norman

It goes without saying that keeping those five would increase our chances of coming back up. The risk is we keep those players and we don't come back up. We'll have lost the PL money which is by far our biggest income, have more debt than ever before (multiple tens of millions), and probably won't ...

Norman

No idea about such clauses and I didn't know Lyon were paying part of his wages - I am very surprised at that. So was I when told (good source), but when you look at the quality he has it kind of makes sense. Lyon gets cash up front and some of the wages of their books. Not sure what happens next s...

Norman

Of course, but I can also see the much more concerning downside of keeping those players on high wages (even after the relegation clauses have come into effect) and not receiving a transfer fee for them. Just the realities of being owned by people with no money of their own, mountains of debt, and ...

Norman

Given Cornet's contract, could try to keep him but would be difficult. This is one thing I've wanted to know. What's in Cornet's contract? I only questioned a possible relegation-release clause but that was me just suggesting. What's the release fee? All I know is Lyon is paying a part of his wage.

Norman

If we go down we should cash in on: Pope Taylor McNeil Cornet Wood All five would attract PL suitors given they've previously demonstrated an ability to be effective at that level. Most of them would probably go to be squad players rather than first choices, and so talk of getting silly money for t...

When they’ve seen them with their own eyes, and formed an opinion as to whether or not to accept a potential bid you mean? You’re talking rubbish.

even if his goals did help us get back up, we'd still need to replace him in 2023 anyway.

That's my point - the goals that made the difference would be worth more than what we'd get for him.

You need to look further forward than the here and now as there's more to it.

Norman

That's fine I you wish to keep him, but at the end of next season he'll be another OOC, and free to walk away for nothing, which given we paid £15m for and he's our joint record signing I'm not convinced we as a club can afford to allow. We've already seen big money signings running down their cont...

Norman

All this talk of “who do we replace him with” I’m fed up of saying this isn’t the fans job. Nobody would have picked trippier to replace mears for example. Secondly, the argument of his goals have kept us up and we need a striker who can score 10+ a season. No we don’t! What we need is players in m...

because he hasn't got an all around game, doesn't affect the game if he's not scoring. Really limited player

We're going around in circles with the Wood discussion.

He's not had an all-around game since he's been able to walk. He's always been a limited player.

Norman

I'd hope so too but I'm not sure it'd be realistic for two reasons. First, I believe the club will need the money. Second, I'm sure Wood will want to be playing PL football. Barry Kilby made a comment a few months ago, that we'd be £50 million worse off straight away if we went down - so could see ...

Agreed. Doubt he'd be here though.

With 10 players out of contract, and unless he's unhappy, I think we'd keep him.

I hope we do.

Norman

Considering Cornets outscoring Wood let's get another "unproven midfielder" up top. Don't be telling me we can't do better than Wood and then when someone comes in and does I can't use that example as he's a midfielder. Does it not fit the narrative? No. But besides, I never said we can't do better...

Wood definitely hasn't looked happy this year. I'm sure he'd jump at the chance to go to Newcastle.

Not sure any player looks happy. I'm sure most players would go to a club that are flinging money at the wall hoping some of it sticks.

Norman

I don't think I have missed your point, it's clear you wouldn't sell Wood and think only by signing a player who has scored 10+ goals in the prem, every season they have played in it, for under 15m would it then be considerable. I disagree, I think we could find a Striker who can get 10+ from a dif...

Disagree. It'd be the only reason we'd sell him to Newcastle in Jan.

Apparently, this is all false anyway - no interest from Newcastle, so all very hypothetical.
Add to that, I don't believe Burnley would sell him. People knock us, but we rarely get shafted when it comes to selling players.

I don't think they would which is why I can't see that we'd contemplate selling Wood to Newcastle, unless Pace believes we are definitely going down.

If he definitely believes we are going down, he keeps him.

Norman

They don't though do they :D They have to be able or have the potential to score 10+ a season. Just because a younger player hasn't done it before doesn't mean they won't in the future. Then theres the foreign market with players never playing in the premier league. You could be part of out recruit...

Certainly looked a machine yesterday Vs Huddersfield. A washing machine.

Who comes in to replace him.

The player needs to have scored 10+ goals every season in the Prem and be under £15 million.

Norman

As I posted on another thread our expected Goals Factor (xGF) is currently the second lowest in the Premier League and we are simply not creating enough chances for Wood to score. Cornet has scored goals from individual pieces of skill and with some wonder strikes not from tap ins following a flowi...

Surely if Wood was to be sold it would be on the basis that there is acceptance that we are definitely going down.

Which would make more sense to keep him (unless he's unhappy).

Norman

Makes sense from Newcastle's perspective, they need quick fixes to stay up before they can look to the long-term project. Callum Wilson out for 8 weeks is a huge blow for them. Wood has a proven track record of being able to score 10-15 goals per season. Puts him just under than Defoe/Benteke 15+ l...

Perhaps something we haven’t done well in the past is sell our assets when big offers have come in (Im mainly thinking of Tarkowski at that £30-35m rumoured price, and now he’s going on a free). Of course we can find reasons to keep them but for clubs like us to survive, in particular the model we ...
