Just listened to Dyche's interview on Radio 5 and was surprised by how cool he was regarding our new signing. He just about said it's the chairmans signing now we'll have a look at him and see if can do a job for us and if he fits in.

Did he say that?

Or did he just about say that?

Well he’s not British (or Irish). Bound to scare Sean just a little.

So Dyche said it wasn't a player he wanted or asked for, but the club signed anyway?

Good job there’s nine subs now. We may just get to see Cornet at some point.

I hope not. I'm not wanting another Mee or Vydra moment.

Surely he didn’t say that

When did he say that?

The interview I heard on the way back home at half time in the Wolves-United game didn't even mention Cornet at all

Me neither. He just briefly chatted match outcome

Same.

not heard the radio 5 interview but listening to Dyche's interview on the club site he congratulates Pace and co on their sheer effort to get a tricky signing done. They are well aligned no doubt about it imho

Not sure he said it was the chairman’s signing. From what I heard on clarets plus he said the chairman has worked very hard to get this one over the line and that he was looking forward to getting him around the group.

I doubt we would sign someone the manager has not agreed on. Especially not for 13 million. Nixon has also said this that cornet was unanimously wanted by all in the club.

They asked him directly how he felt about the Cornet signing I thought it was Radio 5 will check as listened to two interviews on the way home and his reply is pretty accurate paraphrasing.

I'm not suggesting he's not wanted but there was no he can improve us etc. talk. Very cautious maybe preparing us for a period on the bench?

Pace has openly explained the recruitment policy, in that they have to be someone Dyche wants, even almost a Veto.

I agree - I think Sean will be cautious for a long time (like 2.2 weeks) till he fetches Maxi off the bench.

more bull on clarets chat

Folk like you **** me off

You might want to go get your hearing checked, or continue making stuff up, whichever you're happier doing.

Sean Dyche has been Burnley manager since 2012. I don't recall him ever making out that one player is better than any of the other players. It's always about "the group" and the contribution that all the players make to the group. That's how it works "welcome to the group" rather than "you are our new star..." etc

Do you mean Pace?

Paul Waine is spot on, he's protecting the squad ethos and ensuring that there are no egos.

And he rightly does not want to put the weight of too much expectation on a new signing

I doubt they would have worked so hard to get him if Dyche didn't want him. He wouldn't have been very happy if they weren't trying for players he wanted because of this one.

5 years also suggests he'll have time to settle in and get used to us. I wouldn't be expecting him to be straight in for a while yet knowing Dyche

Dyche probably didn’t identify him, but I would imagine he signed off on him.

As others have said, Dyche is cool about every signing.
