Is left back really a problem?

[Citizen of Legoland]

Self inflicted, no chance any insurance company pays out in this case, let alone insures you for it in the first place.

The club didn't do anything though, the asset is alleged to have acted on its own accord.

Maxwel Cornet: Burnley have £15m offer accepted for Lyon player

Looks like Burnley are going to sign the Lyon left back for £15m. I thought Lyon were a very decent side when we played them and I'm sure he scored against us. If I remember correctly he was very quick as well.

Why aren't we all over this? This lad is FAR, FAR better than Mendy and if we were thinking of spending £10m on the Fulham lad, this seems an absolute no-brainer to me.

I would see this as an absolute no brainer. We need a lad who can play left back, he's quick, gets forward well and has CL experience.

I'd offer them Mendy in return as well as he might be decent in the French league and if he playing for Lyon, he might see it as a good move. Of course, we'd have to tip up plenty for his wages. If it means no more Mendy and a good player in return we should hijack this transfer.

No way do you swap Lyon to live in Burnley and having Dyche tell you to launch it every 2 minutes and be happy.

Good player is Cornet. He'd link up well with Mr Whippy.

Thinking about it some more, in the contracts I work under, I have to have public liability insurance, which covers me if a client wants to take me to court, so maybe that's where clubs can reclaim lost asset value.

Whether that spot goes to Ronaldo, Kayky or a new LB, if any, remains to be seen.

Kayky is very likely being loaned

So he is in jail until Sept 10th at the erliest and in reality he is unlikely to be out anytime soon as this is going to drag on right through the season.

Legally - the club will have to keep quiet until there is a verdict in the trial and if he is guilty that is the time to terminate the contract. That said I would assume that the club will leave him off the squad lists as there is never a guarantee that any player gets on it.

Left back has always been a problem when Benny the buffoon is playing there

The fact he's in police custody means absolutely nothing about the strength of the case and no serving or ex police officer worth listening to would comment on live criminal proceedings in this way. Mods should be cracking down on this sort of talk.

No serving officer would comment-but objectively being charged with numerous very serious offences, being kept for court and being remanded in custody..I'd say there was very definitely a strong case.

He has also been charged with breaching the conditions of his original police bail from November by having more than four people present at his home earlier this week, on the night when the latest rape allegation was made
