Welcome to Burnley !

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

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:43 am**

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

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

Welcome to Burnley Maxwel, wishing you the best of luck

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:44 am**

Welcome Maxwel

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

Now let’s stuff Weeds.

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:45 am**

Magnifique.

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:46 am**

Very very very positive news.

Really happy with this signing welcome Maxwel cornet. UTC

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

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:50 am**

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:51 am**

Great stuff

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

He's a poor interviewer.

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:53 am**

Brilliant brilliant signing. Congrats to everyone involved.

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:53 am**

Significant step forward for the squad if,

, its not counterbalanced by the departure of DM.

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

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.

Well done to the club.

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 10:58 am**

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

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:01 am**

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

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:01 am**

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

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:02 am**

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.

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:03 am**

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

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:04 am**

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

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

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:11 am**

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

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.

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:13 am**

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.

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:19 am**

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

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:19 am**

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?

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:20 am**

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.

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:23 am**

We got him at last, Welcome Cornet

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:24 am**

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...

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:32 am**

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!

Posted: **Sun Aug 29, 2021 11:34 am**

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.
