Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion

[CharlieinNewMexico]

There was definitely someone on here a couple of months ago that said we were throwing Ferhat into the ring

[Stockbrokerbelt]

They only went as far as Stoke because of the cheese & bacon oat cakes……..

[TopCat]

Cornet last minute hitch apparently.
He may have a betting problem.

[ClaretAL]

George Boyd.

Didn't CT say signings? It could be Dyche

[Spijed]

Nixon alluded to us having interest in more than one player.

[Sproggy]

an opinion is based on information, all this "we aren't signing anyone" was based on made up imaginary nonsense - they are worlds apart

To be fair to the nay-sayers, our recent record in transfer windows doesn't inspire much confidence.

Exactly & when we do eventually sign this cornet bloke which is looking likely, it’s going to be guaranteed that some people instead of being happy about the addition will be looking to get 1 up on other posters who had earlier expressed well founded doubts overlooking our “recent record in the transfer windows” which generated the existing lack of confidence.

To be fair he had a pretty good season last year by the looks of it. Good shout if you did highlight him

[Bigvince]

Still can’t believe we are in for Cornet, and nobody else is! Watching YouTube vids ( I know they can be misleading ) left foot, right foot, pace, tricks and looks a good finisher. Being a claret for 50 years makes you sceptical about things. Get him signed before someone nips in !!!

Begs the question why though, any ideas? Perhaps it’s a position nobody else is looking to fill or perhaps something more sinister, you’ve raised a good point though if he’s all that why seemingly isn’t he on many clubs radars taking into consideration the fee which isn’t that much to some clubs.

[TheOriginalLongsider]

Reports are that Newcastle and West Ham are sniffing around. Need to keep him and his agent away from phones!

That was reported days ago, and nothing seems to have materialised.

What's the catch then and why is he still at Lyon player and why did Man City not get him if he's that good... so many questions and not enough answers.

Don’t get this at all?

He is a player we are interested in, the club have done their research and it looks like we have been pretty persistent in getting him.

Any and every signing will come with an unknown element to fans. Will they be a great/good/average/poor addition to the team?

We either can’t compete with other clubs or we go for players who don’t have any competition and then ask why no one else wants them. How does that work then?

We need new players and investment and we are getting it by the looks of it. We should all be delighted

[Blyclaret]

Just read the posts on this thread. Tell u a lot about who supports Burnley.
How can the management or board ever hope to win.
Dont sign anyone and theres whingers.
Sign an international player with champion league experience.. break the transfer record
And guess what … still whingers.

I’m not whinging about anything, just can’t believe we’re likely to sign such a dynamic and cosmopolitan player. Hope it comes off and there’s more to follow!

So discussing rational valid points in between posters constitutes whinging, let’s just all be happy & positive & agree on every single thing wouldn’t the world be a perfect place.

[Top Claret]

Pages and pages of rubbish and still not made one signing in this window with 3 days to go that will improve our starting 11. It wouldn't surprise me if this Cornett deal collapsed at the 11th hour

[box_of_frogs]

Don’t forgot people whinging about other people who they perceive as whinging.

Or just accept it’s a message board, don’t worry about it, and just carry on.

You're the one whinging, you must be an Accy fan

So did I miss something. I’m sure we signed Collins, Hennessy and Lennon.

[Blyclaret]

Accy fan ??? I wouldent expect much more from u … given ur history

[Jakubclaret]

Yes you did, he said to start I thought the same until i read the post properly.

[Mattster]

given the fact someone has broken our scouting system and allowed scouts to go further than Stoke I'm more than hopeful our options have dramatically improved, you could pluck any midfielder from any La Liga starting eleven and it would give us more ability on the ball than we currently have

Nonsense.

[Hedontplayforyou]

My prediction is that we will sign 3-4 players between now and the end of the window.

Let the chaos commence

Kevin Phillips? Knows precisely nothing about us.

[Hedontplayforyou]

What does Kevin Phillips know about us

[gawthorpe_view]

https://www.footballinsider247.com/chri ... te-pundit/

Interesting read but says nothing really. Just speculating that if we sign a winger we can't sign a midfielder.
No reason why we can't do both, if £5 million is the fee.
And the side news that Villa want McNeil.

[HahaYeah]

On 24 August, Sky Sports reported Burnley have agreed a deal for Lyon winger Maxwell Cornet.

Phillips insists this move rules out any potential swoop for Christie.

“I would say that’s dead in the water, he won’t be leaving,” Phillips told Football Insider assistant editor Dylan Childs.

“You can’t say for sure but I think that’s the only outcome now. If they have agreed a deal [for Cornet] that’s it.

So he's saying Christie and Cornet are like for like or we've no more dosh.

The way I read it is that Phillips is writing for Celtic fans: don't worry about Christie leaving, Burnley have already spent everything they've got on this other guy.

Of course, we all know better.

Correct, but have they improved our starting 11?

If Christie signs for anyone now, it'll be on silly wages. If he signs now, he wants to be compensated for what he'll lose in regards to signing on fee for pre-contract.

[Colburn_Claret]

Have we really slumped to people whinging about the people whinging about the whingers

[burnley007]

Someone will pay it eventually...

Who's that?

Cornet passed the medical that didn't take place yesterday

Does this mean he's wrong, or whoever said the medical wasn't happening yesterday is wrong?

[NewClaret]

Also called us “the elephants” for some reason. I know we lack pace but that’s a bit rude!!!


He will go for selection.
Medical examination passed yesterday. Signature today before joining the Elephants.
He is expected in England only after the international break

[Iloveyoubrady]

It’s difficult for us to know. He is french so may know more as Lyon are more open to the press than Burnley. Even if he hasn’t had a medical, we know people in the club are confident. Fingers crossed.

Medical, or at least part of it was yesterday
