AshtonRobin21 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Henry Armstrong (reporter) is reporting on twitter that we have made an enquiry for Harry Cornick (Luton). As you may or may not know, I'm a big fan of Cornick. I think he would suit us perfectly, if we are to set up in the same shape as last season. Henry Armstrong has a reasonably good success rate with his rumours. Albeit he only has 1,000 twitter followers. As mentioned on the striker scenario topic, he has gone on a bit of a rumour spree tonight so will be interesting to monitor how many are successful in the upcoming days, and whether there is anything in the link to Cornick. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 He seems to always play well against us but how consistent is he? I wonder because you'd think he'd be a guaranteed starter.

Though Nathan Jones knew he wasn't going to sign a new contract all along so theirs was a silly overreaction. So if they are still mid-tantrum they might not want to play ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Well this one has piqued my interest. No idea on the twitter account…looks to be consolidating other stories…apart from this one, which I haven’t seen anywhere else. Would like it to be true. Mobile, physical striker, who runs the channels. Under contract by Luton (on their retained list), so I’m sure Luton would expect a fee. At 27, a 3 Yr deal might appeal, and I’m sure Naismith will sell the club to him. Looking forward to seeing if this develops any further. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudoni has more long term potential, and his future value could soar. However Cornick is ready to make an impact now. This would have a positive knock on effect as it would free up Wells to move on (if there's a taker), and we lower the wage budget in the process, whilst gaining a player more suited to our system.

Why are you so sure we didn’t go for Rudoni? We don’t conduct our transfer business overtly. I’m not saying we did btw, but it is perfectly possible we did go for him, but he chose Huddersfield for whatever reason. We aren’t every players first choice are we? It may be we didn’t go for him because we don’t need that type of player, but do need Cornick.

AshtonRobin21 Posted January 26, 2023 Author Share Posted January 26, 2023 I’d be delighted with this. Cornick is a player I really like. A very intelligent player, good movement and can chip in with goals. Similiar to Weimann in some ways, but with a low centre of gravity. Keeps the ball very close to his feet when dribbling (like Scott), which allows him to shift balance easily. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 (edited) He's 27 so in and around prime age. As we know if fit and in form that can stretch for longer. Decent numbers, this season not quite so much granted. Has a good availability level or has done. Wide attacker isn't he? Knows the League. Ticks a number of boxes for sure- could then see Weimann-Wells-Cornick for some games or maybe Sykes-Weimann/Wells-Cornick for others.
