Sounds promising looks like we might finally solve our tricky RW slot.
Hopefully if and when we get this signing over the line it'll shut some of the doom-mongers up for a day or two at least.

If we do get Cornet, I hope Dyche doesn't take an eternity to get him in the starting lineup.

It's the hope that kills you. He'll be ready when JBG gets his injury.

You'd play the midfielder maitland niles in defence?

He's played the best football of his career at right back. I'd have him in central midfield but he's completely unproven there

Talkbfc reporting that Cornet is in the UK.
Also reporting that we were prepared to pay the fee Arsenal wanted for AMN but couldn’t afford his wages.
No sources so may be BS but both very pleasing if true.

Hopefully means Cornet is getting closer. I couldn't see us signing AMN, so no surprises with that one.

Think he's going via Leeds/Bradford - so Jack Duckworth might have him before we get to confirm things.

Works both ways though, you would want a low fee release clause in it as well.

If its the twitter account, there is nothing about Cornet
But it is repeating that Vydra is off to Germany
Its another account that relies on retweets and followers, and there isn't any sources linked, so draw your own conclusions

Don't do that, Burnley Central doesn't afford the nicest of views.
Drop him off at Ebden Bridge, with its Olde Worlde charm, and ask him to track back.

Or just no release fee at all.
I think we have a strict policy when it comes down to player contracts, which I bet is why a lot of potential transfers fail - but I like it like that.

To be fair, you only ever post the same 3 words, so it's not very hard to follow them.
But yes, I am flirting. Do you like it?

Just seen Cornet in Padiham centre, caught up in all the roadworks where his sports car has bottomed out.
He might reach Gawthorpe by Friday.

That is true. Did read that on here but had forgotten about it. Seems to tie in with what talkbfc are reporting. I’m personally pleased we’re looking at, and willing to bid for, that calibre of player. If they price themselves out of it, or are unwilling to come in on similar terms to the rest of the squad, so be it.

I know I realise he’s no spring chicken I just meant as defensive cover on a short term deal not a starter, he would offer more experience especially with Collins bedding in eventually.
