good call. Looked good, if a bit inconsistent, at Burnley and plays on the left.

Maybe a loan with an obligation to buy may suit both parties.

Could he be off to the African cup though??

I was only thinking of Maxwel Cornet the other day, and wondering what had happened to him. He was excellent in a struggling Burnley side a few seasons ago, always among the goals, not that they scored too many. Quite versatile as well if I recall, and could even provide cover at left-back if needed.

On the face of it I think he'd be a terrific signing, and it would seem crazy not to show any interest. Inexpensive, good age (27), London-based, versatile, can score goals, has PL experience and is a francophone as well, like many in the squad are. And, as if that isn't enough, West Ham definitely aren't in for him!

Sign him up!

My sentiments entirely reflect those shared thus far. I'd be very content with this. I was genuinely surprised at how Burnley managed to get him in the first instance, and resentful it wasn't us.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

With only one PL appearance this season he certainly seems like he could be an option. When he was at Burnley he didn't always look like a grafter which could be why Moyes isn't playing him. I do wonder if that might also limit his opportunities under Roy who seems to want his wingers to defend as much as they attack.

At last, a player Wet Spam won’t nip in and pinch from under our noses!

Various media outlets have been reporting this one heavily since this morning.

Clearly there is something in it so we will see what tomorrow brings.
