What happens when we sign him and he turns out to be absolute toilet
Oh! ye of little faith, equally what happens if we sign him and he's a big hit, we'll be able to sell him to one of the big boys for a huge profit.
Can't Burnley fans think in a positive vein just for once.

Nah I’m only kidding. We desperately need another winger so I’ll be happy with anyone (not just Lennon)

I'm surprised there isn't more interest in Christie. Looks like a bargain to be had there for someone.
Is there an issue with the player? Are there any off-field problems?
I hope we get him tbh, seems like a Dyche player, that he could seriously improve.
Apparently journalist Alex Crook told Talksport that Southampton aren't interested in Christie. Are we still being linked? The Scottish Sun seemed to think we're interested. Just need to negotiate that 5m that Celtic are asking for.

The story was his agent has let it be known that he would be looking for around 100k if he is sold before his contract runs out to make up for the money he would miss out on if moving as a free agent.

How about no more Cornet puns or ‘jokes’ unless they are original (new). No matter how good or bad they are, they dilute massively with constant repetition. So please, no more 99’s, flake or flakey, wafer/wafer thin, hundreds and thousands, etc, etc, etc. PLEASE!!!

Tarkowski will stay this year I think but it might be worth waiting to see if cornet signs before getting his shirt...

It'd be fab if he signed. But I've got a feeling there'll be one or twisters and turns just yet.

This deal is looking very shady
Can we get Magnum PI to investigate whether there is any chance of it going ahead
Seems there are some concerns from certain fans, but mivi the split amongst them will dissipate when he is seen signing the contract wearing a claret and blue solero on his head
I know, but it's the tea interval at Headingley so a bit bored

I wouldn’t take it too personal, some people clearly just don’t agree with other peoples viewpoints, I think it’s healthy within a discussion for people not to agree providing the opposing points are presented logically & constructively, the problems begin when that doesn’t happen & some people resort to insults in order to get their point across & sadly that’s been happening all to often lately & some posters are getting fed up & staying off the site which is a shame.

The flight trackers are out on Twitter. It appears a private jet has landed in Lyon from Manchester. I assume our reps have flown there to discuss terms with the player.
Strange that, because according to Sky yesterday, his reps were meeting ours in Manchester today.
