I cant remember this kind of ridiculousness even when we signed Ben (Mee) & Gerry (Harrison)!
I'm guessing it was Nixon with this scoop?
To be fair though if we signed Cornet and Niles, it would be mint.

Re: Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion
I find the idea of signing Cornet very odd. OL have been talking about selling some of their biggest assets since 2020 because of their sticky financial situation. Cornet is one of their top earners so a good candidate to get off the books. He was a left winger and he's switched to being a left back more recently. In their last friendly against Porto he had a nightmare defensively but put in three assists. I really don't see how he's a dyche player. The fee is massive, his wages are over 50k a week, he's being forced out of a top French team who play regularly in Europe, I just can't see him putting in a shift for little old Burnley. I'm not surprised that he'd rather move to a German club who already have a number of French players in their squad.
If we were going to look at a player from France I'd expect it to be someone like Zinadine Ferhat. 9 assists and 6 goals last season from the right wing for relegated Nimes. He'd be cheap and probably jump at the chance of moving to the Premier League rather than playing in the French second division. Apparently Rangers are interested in him. He's out of contract in June 2022.

Cornet certainly knows how to score against Man City. I think it's three times.

I think we do but there’s a reluctance to spend that amount when all said & done is chicken feed in this league, I think we could actually go far higher without breaking the bank but if you can risk scraping over the line without spending much the number 1 overall objective is achieved.boatshed bill wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 7:05 pmImagine the fanfare if we sign Cornet.

Do we really want Cornet? After all, he expressed a preference to join a German team.
Can't see it happening if Sean thinks he doesn't really want to be here.

Or the ice-cream of the crop.
I think the main reason for all the puns, despite it being entertaining, is the absence of any transfer news. People log in, see nothing, and make a quip to pass the time. It is, I suspect, the precursor to gallows humour, should nothing change.

Re: Summer 2021 Transfer Window Rumours - Links - Discussion
Agree with this… though not seen much of Ferhat. Rings similar bells to when Pascal Gross signed for Brighton after registering top assists in the league (I think) for a relegated team. Got him for cheap and has gone on to do very well.dibraidio wrote: ↑Mon Aug 02, 2021 7:19 pmI find the idea of signing Cornet very odd.
