He would also provide excellent competition for Barnes and a guy who could go up front if we're ever in a proper bind in that area. He'd be an excellent signing for us and for a similar price to what Lookman would cost without having to sign him as well. Heard someone on the radio saying that he's got a fairly cheap buy out clause if Burnley got relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted 22 May 2022 Share Posted 22 May 2022 (edited) I think Brendan really likes this 4-3-3 system with a central player on the right and a winger on the left.. RW: Maddison, De Ketelaere LW: Barnes, Lookman + Albrighton for squad depth Edited 22 May 2022 by Shane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxed Posted 23 May 2022 Share Posted 23 May 2022 No News Is Good News. Spurs basically give Poch no say in the transfers from what I can recall. At the time I felt it lacked trust but now I realise it is sage and wise and good and something we should definitely do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 23 May 2022 Share Posted 23 May 2022 That’s a no brainer for Cornet, he’s scored 9 in 26 premier league appearances (21 starts) for a cack Burnley side. His Lyon stats for him on either wing are almost identical and he can play further back in the wingback positions. Ticks a lot of boxes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only concern would be fitting him and Maddison in to the same team as both would have to start every game possible given their stature in the game. Suppose Maddison has proven he can still influence games from this wide right position and he and Eriksen could alternate centrally but if we then chuff up good money for the elusive right winger we want then they'll be on the bench or Eriksen will be.

Eriksen can play the Tielemans position? I know it’s deeper but he has that quality to start attacks his ball control and passing is of a high standard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supergray22 Posted 23 May 2022 Share Posted 23 May 2022 10 hours ago, Haywood_6 said: Max Cornet and Nick Pope are Burnley's best two players and would fit nicely in our squad. We could do a lot worse than raiding them. I think either/both of these should be seriously considered along with Tarkowski and Nathan collins. I and am a big fan of jonny evans and Schmeichel and I would not force either out of the door but neither are getting any younger and competition is always a good thing. If kasper does want to leave I think pope would be on our list. His distribution would be improved if players are looking for the ball as it wasn’t imperative at Burnley. Cornet does look dangerous when I have seen him. Collins is a young improving talent and made a decent premier league debut. Good in the air too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about De Ketelaere? I thought the links from Belgium were quite reliable (could be wrong of course). Surely we can’t be signing Madueke, De Ketelaere and Lookman!! Would give us great depth if we were to sign all 3. Personally, I would prefer 3 defensive players (defensive midfielder & a couple defenders) over 3 attackers this summer. We have the 5th best goal record in the league, so I think Lookman + one other should do for now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TrickyTrevLeftPeg Posted 23 May 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 23 May 2022 People have mentioned it but Cornet would be a clever signing. Lots of value in the transfer at rumoured £14million relegation clause so frees up money for other positions. Scored goals for a Burnley side that is not renowned for attacking. Versatile enough to play a number of positions but most importantly can fill that RW position. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boring sounding and pragmatic yes but a good defence will release your attackers way more than some fancy winger ever could. However, fancy Rodgers will not agree. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets go big on Burnley, the everending rumour mill about Tarkowski and Wouters for a different alternative up front, Mcneil wouldn't be a bad back up either. All in a fire sale.

Younger, home grown, already adapted to our playstyle and better at unlocking defences IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, with the financial pressure that Burnley are now under they are likely to accept less. I'd expect they will get the full amount as he'll have plenty of interest especially from the promoted clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
