Summer transfer window 2023

[blueboy72]

That's because in the first half of the season he was being managed by an incompetent buffoon , whereas in the second half of the season he was being managed by someone who knew how to get the best out of him.

Same guy who couldn’t get the best out of him in his last 2yrs at Burnley.

Sulemana only signed for Southampton in January and hardly featured until the end of the season and then scored twice against Liverpool.
Quite a quick player but does little against the ball which is a requirement for most players these days.

It’s a very similar trajectory to Arteta bounced out of a Scottish club and deemed available for loan at a mid tier Spanish club to Arteta. You could draw similar parralels with Piennar.

When you look at what Brighton fans say about the lad, they really want him given a chance, they think he has huge quality, but also recognise they’ve had one of the best midfields in the world over the last 12 months and now the likes of Gilmour coming is - it’s a tough gig and he has a year on his contract. He shone last season out on loan. They’d like to keep him.

I wouldn’t be at all closed minded on him and his profile.

lol there is no correlation between a Barcelona player who goes on loan to a class PSG side before moving to Rangers and back to Spain with Sociedad....

He was defintely more impactful then McNeill the year before mate. McNeill had a brilliant second half to last season and without him we were goosed - but he was awful in the first half of the season for us as well. That's not a binary criticism of for or against - its just a fact and he needs to find that consistency in my opinion - because hes shown full tilt hes a player.

Like you i dont think there is anything in the story. But Corent was very good for Burnley and indeed played in a CL semi i think before hitting Burnley - so he didnt come from no where in a short period if you look at his profile. He changed the game in Burnleys favour in our defeat there under Lampard, hes very impactful and can play about 5 positions. His fitness is a concern mind. The only slight thing i would think that may indicate some truth in us doing a deal is West Ham seem very over stocked in the attacking midfield dept and are about offer Lingarrd a deal.

Maxwell Cornet is absolutely dog dirt.

 

[Simon Buttle]

Why? They don’t need him nor have they been linked?

They look like they are making a move for Bakayoko, Salah thing seems to be gathering a bit of pace.

 

[blueboy72]

Yep, my brother's a Spurs fan and absolutely rages about how crap he is. My brother is also a thicko though so I'm torn.

Mad how spurs paid 42mil for him about 4/5 yrs ago and yet you never hear about how bad a deal this was. Cockney media darlings and all that

[blueboy72]

Never been impressed when I’ve watched Leeds

 

[Walken]

But cornet got more goals in his one season. Than McNeil has ever got.

McNeil last season could be his purple patch, as he only got 1 goal in his last 2 seasons at Burnley

As insinuated its a long term assessment based on more than isolating one stat. Its in the eyes of the beholder but for me McNeil was clearly the better option and I'm very glad we chose it.

It would be interesting to see what would happen if we did field 10 wingers and one goalkeeper. Would we score loads of goals and let in a few or would we be massacred. It's food for thought.

The other idea is you get 10 wingers into your defence box, they form a circle and the goalkeeper passes the ball to that circle which turns into a huddle. Then the huddle walks the ball up the pitch and into the opponent's goal. There are no laws against it.

Ah, the flying V from the The Mighty Ducks.

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

Cornet feels like a very lazy link.
Was our interest genuine last summer? If it was then maybe there is something in it as Thelwell does seem to stick to his targets

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Why? They don’t need him nor have they been linked?

They've always been fans of his (plus he played well against them at the back-end of the season) and the Salah rumours are gathering pace.

Just reckon it would be a really quick deal for them to do if they need to replace at short notice.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

@Zatara Goody gum drops hahaha

 

[mikel_88]

Another left sided player not sure what position he would be for more attacking lb. Would have taken him before young still need a rw

is the fact we can only do 1 more loan from a PL side going to hinder us i feel ?
Cornet or Salumana and a midfielder like the lad from Brighton for example.
And that German centre back would not be a loan as he is in the last year of his contract.

Or would there be any money left in the tank if we sell Gray and/or Iwobi and/or even Cannon has been touted.
