Anything solid on Maxwel Cornet from Lyon? Those quotes in a Bein Sports France tweet seem so interesting:

"We met the president in January, and I said I wanted to extend [my contract], but talks were not successful. "

"Liverpool are a big club, any links are flattering. I'm under contract until 2021, but you never know in football so we'll see. ".

{Ed002's Note - Maxwel Cornet's agent has said that Liverpool have approached him - this has prompted questions to the player who is flattered. It would make some sense if Liverpool were to approach Lyon as they are looking to upgrade him anyway and will let him leave.}

Odd one that. Could Shaqiri be leaving, Ed?

{Ed002's Note - Perfectly possible.}

So Lyon want to upgrade but we want him. Doesn’t fill me with confidence!

{Ed001's Note - he is only young and would be a back up for cover, can Lyon afford to keep him in that role?}

Oh I see. Intriguing. Thanks Ed002.

Is he any good Ed001 in your opinion mate? Is he obtainable?

{Ed001's Note - as a back up he looks a good option, with age on his side to push on and improve to challenge for a regular place. Certainly obtainable.}

Cheers mate.

{Ed001's Note - welcome.}

Cornet would be a great signing. Will Lyon deal with us after the Fekir debacle of last summer? They are hard enough to deal with anyway!

I hear Cornet isn't too strong and often easily licked, a bit like Arouna Kone.
99 mil is a bit much though, but will cost at least hundreds and thousands. Wed have to be flake-y to whip up that kind of money.

I've heard that too Willo. Also I think Cornet crumbles if put under too much pressure.

This rumour is a bit wafer thin if you ask me.

I have another scoop for you. While he shows sprinkles of brilliance from time to time, he needs to show that he can be mint for 90 minutes. It would be great to see him melt our hearts on Sky Super Sundae. A lot is said about football players having hectic personal lives but he just seems to like to chill out. After all the talk, if he moves and fails to lives up to expectations, he'll get his just desserts.

There are only a few multi talented sports players like him. He was tipped to be a tennis player but he had a soft serve.

Whatever happens, if he becomes a red and doesn't make it, I'd still buy him a pint in with-a-spoons.

Definitely not a candidate for the ballon carte d'or.

Sounds like he's blowing his own trumpet to me.

The world's his oyster and I can see him going to Aston Vanilla.
