Transfer Rumour Maxwell Cornet

[MACCA75]

Can take a corner. I’m in.

Wasn't excited about him till seen this video. Must admistvI barely could watch Everton last year let alone pay attention to any other teams or games.

Reminds me a bit of Antonio for WHU.

Good luck to him if he signs.

Tbh mate I hadn't heard much either but we need goals desperately and he seems to score a few ...here's hoping he continues that here.

Burnley manager Vincent Kompany says he wants to give forward Maxwel Cornet a chance to sort out his future after not playing him against Shrewsbury in a pre-season match.​

Cornet was not in the squad for Friday's friendly ahead of a possible move to Everton.
The clubs are in talks over a transfer and Cornet is understood to have a release clause of £17.5m.

I do appreciate the fact that he’s capable of playing across the front line as it greatly reduces the chance of witnessing Rondon in the team should Calvert-Lewin be unavailable.

Massive upgrade from Iwobi.
Better end product that Gordon
More consistent than Gray
Has two legs compared to Townsend
Can play either wing or up top.

Less than £20mill. Average prem wage. 25 years old.

Not seeing an issue with this...

I've seen him several times and he is poor. No one wanted him here when his name was mentioned a month or 2 back, and people are only now shouting down anyone questioning it, because we are seriously linked.

Just out of interest, who in our squad would you consider as better than Cornet?

Again this is massively missing the point. Mahrez came from a minnow french team and was very young and unproven at European level. Cornet came from an elite French team and was very well tested and well known on a world stage.

After playing 200+ games and being an established player, no top clubs felt he had the attributes or ability to improve them. Someone like Arsenal would have happily taken him for £15 million if he was good. The reason Burnley got him is because he is about their level. A player who will perform once every 3 games and perform the odd cameo where he looks good but then do nothing for a couple of games. This guy was even benched for some Burnley games at the end of last season. You really think if hes that good then that would happen?

Cornet is twenty five now, when he signed for Burnley he was 24.

Hardly a player at his peak . He has had a good season in a dreadful team and if we sign him he at least deserves a chance.

Burnley were kept in the race for survival last season by a couple of players in particular and it looks as if we may be getting two of their best.

There is no reason why they cannot improve again with better players around them.

Not sure that is exactly the question that should be asked, as the current squad barely avoided relegation last season.

I dont think hes any better than what we have frankly.

Strikes a ball well tbf.

Saw some goals he scored with his right foot so maybe we're signing him to play RW.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

That's my thinking but he seems to be a player who plays prominently on the left.

Thing is though is that he's clearly a wide forward rather than an out-and-out winger, so he needs to be cutting inside. The wing play should be coming from our fullbacks ideally, especially in a 3-5-2 if that's what we're gonna be doing.

We don't like beating the first man.

This has been happening for years and years. Hinchcliffe was the last player to consistently get his corners right. So frustrating

We were after mcneil the season before last as we're many others. Nathan Collins has just gone for 20 million. Pope has gone to Newcastle. Wood who played half the season went to Newcastle. There were far better players than Cornet in that team.

I'm not even going to bother with this thread anymore anyway. You'll always get these people who see a player have one or two games and think they are good players. Or a player who is fast and looks effective but doesn't do it consistently. Players like deulofeu, traore. They all end up at average clubs or the second division. Cornet is in that bracket. A few good games where he looks good, id dare say I'd put demarai gray in this category too. We don't need another demarai gray

Looks like Frank rates him.
