Transfer Rumour Maxwell Cornet

[vintage-toffees]

There is no way we have bid 25 million and why would we when his release clause is 17 million, now if I'm wrong and we have bid 7 million over the actual price then wow and just wow. And we wonder why we are in the sh.. Er mire

We haven't even offered his release clause as cash as Burnley are asking for

This bid will out do the Alan Smith bid from Leeds. 50p a week for a 100 years

This is one that I think will happen.

It will come back to where the player wants to go.
Forest or Everton.

At the moment Forest may look the better bet for the player.
Currently we have the look of a club on the cusp of disaster.

Right I’m in.

Even if he can manage half a season without injury and smash some cracking shots into the opposition goal, it’s worth it. We will stay up. Because we aren’t quite as bad as Burnley overall. Sorry.

….Sligo. Let’s not forget his Dad was watching Sean, noticed Seamus Coleman & recommended him to Everton. £60k Seamus Coleman all because of Sean.

Top lad Sean, really nice guy, he give me his jersey from a European match he played for Sligo, made up.

It was Paul Cook, Sligo's manager, who alerted Everton to Coleman...after he'd alerted Celtic to Coleman...who'd turned him down after trials with them.

….could be a few variations on the same theme with recommendations from a number of sources but this one fits with circumstances at the time (except I think Mick left Everton after Sean moved to Fulham).

Mate, you're forgetting that any club hitting the release clause has to have their bid accepted regardless of any higher bids.

As such I can't ever remember a team bidding more than it as it has zero benefits in a 'auction' scenario

I think though for the release clause to be honored it must be paid upfront

This is why the offer of 5m upfront and 20m next year the release doesn't apply

Same articled suggests the flow of information on Coleman was from Cook to Doherty to Moyes.

They'll struggle this season. No team signs that many players and expect it to work.

Strikes me of when Fulham last went up. Spent a fortune on numerous players and went straight back down.

Wonder if our sign one on a free will be more successful? Seriously though unless a couple of the many they've signed are just squad players bedding them in could be problematic.

Of course all teams need to strengthen particularly those that come up. But sometimes signing so many players you lose sight of what got you promoted in the first place.
