Maxwell Cornett

Is this bloke real or a figment of my imagination?
Did he just turn up, get injured, get offside and disappear?
No wonder they brought someone in to do transfers, the ones we did are mainly shit

odd signing - has occasionally looked promising - if we keep will be a marginal squad player / maybe some Euro / Cup ties but if he aint part of the wider plan then get rid in the next window or two

Cornet will be first against the wall come the glorious revolution. . .
Lightweight, not too bright, and still trotting back after the last offside decision given against him. The fact he played for Burnley should have been RED LIGHT enough.

Absolutely was the right signing to make at the time. Injury didn't help obviously. Don't think the management has either.

I’d agree with Huffers if it wasn’t for the fee, £17,500,000.
Don’t think he’s even showed that he’s a million pound player, this is the type of position we should have been taking a gamble on a younger player, money pissed up the wall that we’ll not get anywhere near back.

Everyone was up in arms when Burnley signed him for £17m and he was brilliant for them. He was a great signing for us on paper, for the same fee. It just hasn’t worked out.

Is easily the worst of last summers signings, which in the end wasn't as bad as many said it was after getting our money back on Scamacca, Emerson coming good etc. It's true some signings don't work out and this is a prime example, the ship has sailed for him now, he is never going to be of any use to use and it appears that no other clubs are interested either.

I can only think of 99. All of them as flaky

Saw mention that Everton were interested in him
Would take it if we get our money back
Invest the money in getting a left back who is fit for more than 5 mins ... maybe the Chelsea player Maatsen we have sniffed around

I don't get this fascination with wanting a new LB.
We have Emerson and Cresswell as back up. They aren't buying a third so unless Cresswell is off somewhere it won't happen...

Cresswell is finished & Emerson is ok but no world beater
Need upgrades on both sides

Reports of us being linked with Kostic again.
He was the one Moyes originally wanted last summer but the player chose Juventus so we bought Cornet instead. Would make sense if Cornet went out and he came in.
The positives would be he can play left wingback and with him and JWP we would have 2 of the best deliveries in the PL.
The negative would be that he’s 30 years old so it would very much be a short term (maybe 2 years) solution for that left side.

Like Downes, never really given a chance. A few times when he came on he looked pretty useful, but hard to impress when given five minutes here and there.

Hard to judge the bloke. Bad injury and hasn’t really had a run in the side.

He's in the squad and has a squad number, we are in four competitions as of now.
Best not write him off yet

With Hall having gone to Newcastle and Cucurella apparently on his way out, maybe to Man Utd, I imagine the chances of Maatsen being allowed to leave are slim to non-existent.
And Willtell... it's not a fascination with getting a new left back, it's commonsense. We've needed 2 new fullbacks for over 2 years... or 4 windows if you like

Couldve kicked on a bit had he not missed that routine header, then bizarrely had that other one ruled out v chelsea last season. We've had plenty of duff signings like this one in the past and I'm sure we'll have plenty more.

He was a relatively low cost signing after a reasonable/good spell in France & Burnley.
He had a reasonable/good start with us (taking into consideration he’d only been with us a a few months).
He then gets a bizarre injury and is out for ages. You now assume, he’s fully fit.
As MPI says, we are in 4 completions so I wouldn’t just right him off, just yet.
If he was to be sold not the end of world - if he stays - not the end of the world.
