Everton working on a deal to sign Cornet according to the Athletic

what RV said

[RVclaret]

I’ll be happy to see this one get done asap - not that I want to lose him in particular, I’m a big fan - but It was always going to happen and it’s Better now than late in the window, so Kompany can mould his first team.

[Pearcey]

Cornet out and O’Hare in would do for me.

Agreed better getting all the outgoings are done as soon as possible to allow us to then source replacements.

And if O'Hare is signing, Maxwell is one we can afford to sell.

[Tricky Trevor]

.... And promoted

Half of them 4 did but all had good careers.

[claretandy]

What's there to discuss, pay the release clause !

Whilst Cornet would be a top player in the Championship he's not cut out for 46 games, take the money and get some more fresh faces in

[Rileybobs]

Not sure why anyone would want to see Cornet leave. He would score a lot of goals at that level. Still, seems some people want a total clear out and reduction in quality.

[It Is What It Is]

Hopefully a bidding war for Cornet with a couple of Prem Clubs..maybe touch £20.m

I don't think anyone wants him to leave, just accept that it is inevitable and would rather it happened now instead of last minute.

[Pearcey]

I don’t think anyone wants him to leave, It’s just obvious that he was always going to. Sooner the better so we can replace him.

[spt_claret]

Cornet out and O’Hare in would do for me.

We need an O'Hare type in regardless- we've lost Weghorst, Lennon, and Vydra from wide/forward options including backups, and I still have huge doubts regarding Barnes. Cornet out O'Hare in and we still need a wide man and forward.
We had a small squad already. We can't be downgrading and downsizing more.

Not going to happen if the £17.5m release clause is correct.

[tiger76]

If other clubs are interested, perhaps Cornet is weighing up his options before deciding, however why that would be an issue for Burnley or Everton beats me.

[RVclaret]

Its known he’s got a relegation release clause and he scored at 1 in 2 last season - for most it’s been obvious he will be picked up. I think it’s not a case of wanting him to leave, not for me anyway, more so knowing it was coming and being glad it’ll be ‘out of the way’ so to speak. You talk a lot about being realistic, I think expecting him to leave is being realistic.

In an ideal world, no-one wants to see Cornet leave.

But in the real world, he’s going to move at some point in this window because he doesn’t want to play in the Championship. So let’s get it done and get a replacement in.

[Pearcey]

I just meant a replacement for Cornet. I’m aware we need more in. Strikers in particular and a replacement for McNeil when he goes.

’Whilst Cornet would be a top player in the Championship he's not cut out for 46 games, take the money and get some more fresh faces in’

’Cornet out and O’Hare in would do for me.’

It wasn’t a response to you.

It’s realistic to think that Cornet may leave, but I also think it’s realistic that there may not be a club willing to meet his release clause. So I don’t see it as an inevitability that Cornet leaves without our agreement.

[Dougall]

But that wee lad on the video will be heartbroken!
If ever there was an argument for loyalty to the club you're with................!

[jedi_master]

Never a chance he was staying - let’s get him sold as quickly as possible (but absolutely not below the release clause price, that’d be a joke) and get O’Hare, Delap and another attacking midfielder/winger in on top of that too.

[Lancasterclaret]

Not a question of wanting Cornet to leave, but I'd rather he left asap, so we have time to source a replacement

We have to be realistic here, our premier league quality players are not going to be staying as they are too expensive for us to keep and cheap enough for other premier league teams to be able to get them

[Top Claret]

I won't be to bothered in losing Cornet.

Cornet is a fair weather player who will spend to much time in the sick bay with the championship being to physical for him.

[Rileybobs]

And if no one meets the release clause? He’s our player. There seems to be a very meek acceptance from some of our fans to us losing any real quality we possess.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Won't be a bidding war, due to his release clause.
The only "war" would be over who offers him the best wages etc.

[spt_claret]

I just meant a replacement for Cornet. I’m aware we need more in. Strikers in particular and a replacement for McNeil when he goes.

Ah fair enough. I'd ideally have both but yes, he's probably as good a replacement as we can get.
Dreading even thinking about replacing McNeil, we're thin enough on widemen even before he goes.

[TsarBomba]

And if no one meets the release clause? He’s our player. There seems to be a very meek acceptance from some of our fans to us losing any real quality we possess.

No, I think there is just an acceptance that when you get relegated, you lose your better players, which is what we have seen so far. Of course the money has to be right.

And you don’t think we have brought in quality? Be realistic, we’re not going to be able to bring in direct replacements for the likes of Tarkowski and Pope etc, but the hope is our new players will develop to that level.

[RVclaret]

And if no one meets the release clause? He’s our player. There seems to be a very meek acceptance from some of our fans to us losing any real quality we possess.

As long as we replace with quality (for the level we are at, with the potential to make the step up the PL too), I think that’s acceptable.

[Top Claret]

And if no one meets the release clause? He’s our player. There seems to be a very meek acceptance from some of our fans to us losing any real quality we possess.

He posses quality but lacks the physical attributes required for English football. We would struggle to get 20 games out of him and the majority of those he would pull himself off

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Not fussed about Cornet going get it done quickly and get the replacements in. Not sure how many games you’d get out of him going off his injuries last season.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Hopefully not on the pitch!

[Top Claret]

I thought that would catch the eye

[RVclaret]

Nixon is reporting that Everton want to pay in delayed payments / cash stages - hence the negotiations. He even says Everton are exploring the option to loan him at first but with a guaranteed buy.

In his piece he adds that we are ready to offer O’Hare one of the biggest wages in the Champ to tempt him to leave Coventry.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

Some of these Cornet comments

Some of you sound a little bitter that he could be leaving and now trying to suggest he was never good enough anyway

[AGENT_CLARET]

Everton....pay in full or do one, cheating bastards

[Chuckypad]

Any updates on the Jason Knight interest from earlier in the week?

They've got some neck on them....after basically being financially doped for the last few years, they're now trying to plead poverty

I accept that when we get relegated we will lose some of our better players. But I don’t for one minute accept that we will lose all of our better players. That’s ridiculous. If his release clause is met then fine, but I’m certainly not of the mindset that it’s cool to sell Cornet to enable us to buy a lad from Coventry.

Not only are we downgrading in every single position, we are at risk of losing the bond/identity/culture/togetherness that this squad has. We’re at risk of the club becoming a summer football camp and losing the very things that have been key to such a successful period in our history.

[claretandy]

Nixon says the Bin Dippers are trying to sign Cornet on a buy now, pay later deal, are they forgetting we tried to sue them ?

[Lancasterclaret]

I don't think we have a lot of choice because of you know what (NOT ALLOWED TO BE DISCUSSED)

how do you work out we've downgraded every position ?

That sounds a bit rich after our complaint against them.

Cough up or bugger off, I’d say.

Care to name a position we've upgraded?

I’d argue our midfield options are better right now then they have been over the past 2 seasons in the Premier League.

[Rileybobs]

I don't think we have a lot of choice because of you know what (NOT ALLOWED TO BE DISCUSSED)

Yes, which is fair enough. If we need to sell to plug some holes so to speak then I understand that - not that I am happy about it. But I’m not sure why some fans seem happy to have a total clear out.

[quoonbeatz]

There is some negotiation to be had though - a couple of clubs could meet the clause but one may offer us more up front.

They just got 50mil in for Richarlison so must have a bob or two knocking around

Not cut out for the Championship apparently

[RVclaret]

Which it seems like is the case right now - Everton don’t seem to want to pay much upfront.
