Transfer Rumour Maxwell Cornet

[Frenk]

I’d rather have a Cornetto.

Hoping this may be a “look we’ve moved onto other targets honestly…” to Wolves regarding Gibbs-White.

Would be more of a believable tactic if Gibbs-White was a winger, like

Had sandro played in the prem before? I didnt realise

It's about signing a player with an impressive goal tally and not stopping to ask if it's likely to happen again and if not what you're actually getting

Gibbs-White has played on the wing a lot, probably as much as Cornet played as a centre forward last season.

 

[BlueToff]

Cornet's a good player, btw, and has a cheap release clause. Would definitely help us replace the void left by Richarlison - has pace, bags of it, and can finish (albeit he's pretty inconsistent).

He'd probably be a better signing than Dennis for that role.

 

[john jako]

Is he better than Gray??

Think he adds more defensively. Reading up on him he appears to put a shift in at times. I remember when we played them away from home he was tracking back and working hard. He’s not going to take us to another level but if it’s between him and Dennis I’d probably want this lad.

Personally would rather the next target resemble Gibbs-White in this scenario

 

[Nymzee]

Slightly confused why, if we have £17m for an attacker, we didn't up our game for KLP.

The theory was that we’re not actually gonna go for this player btw.

Yeah but not the left wing.

My mate who supports Sheff Utd said MGW played his best for them as a second striker able to drop in and then run in behind, which would go with what he was before at Wolves and Swansea when he played in more of a 10(ish) type role off the strikers.

Cornet only ever played as a CF at Burnley and that was in a 442 so one of a pair. He's much more of a wide player and even played LWB at Lyon.

Tbh I think we need two attacking players so would hope we were in for both players - at the right price - and then one other midfielder of a more defensive mindset.

Cos we never bid for KLP.

 

[TheBigIguana]

Another thing is I'd really like us to stop signing players who can't pass a ball consistently

 

[BlueToff]

Slightly confused why, if we have £17m for an attacker, we didn't up our game for KLP.

Cause spending £17m on a young attacker from the Championship is less risky than spending it on a player who did well in the PL for a year and has played in the CL, Ligue 1 etc?

Also might be due to downpayments etc. If Bobble was to be believed about a month back, he said the initial offer we put in for KLP was very low down payment wise. Maybe Burnley are in a position where they need to accept a low fee up front and Hull weren't?

 

[Nymzee]

Cos we never bid for KLP.

You think we didn't, I reckon we did, neither know the truth.

 

[MACCA75]

I think he’s decent tbh. I’d still want another player that can score a goal mind.
