' LAY OFF ANDREAS CORNELIUS '

Everything in that article re-affirms to me how ridiculous the signing of cornelius was, "he's raw, just a boy, he needs a lot of coaching etc", it's cringe worthy, what the hell was malky doing spending £8 million and £45k a week on someone who is miles away from what we needed at the beginning of the season??? a blind man could see we needed an experienced striker to help keep us up and we get someone who is one for the future (i've no doubt he'll become a great player somewhere) no wonder malky was sacked. Even the biggest of tan haters must see why he was furious about this signing??? put it this way, how would you feel if it was YOUR money?????

Where did you see him play to judge how far off he is

Only in the friendlies and the short game time he has been given since his injury, but i go by what the manager (malky) and his back room staff keep saying about the lad, after all, they see him on a day to day basis at the training ground, malky consistently referred to him as one for the future and again today cooper says he's raw, needs a lot of coaching etc, most people can see that he's not ready for the premiership, not his fault it's down to the previous manager for spending so much on a future prospect rather than bringing in somebody who could do the business from the start in august.

I believe Cornelius was signed to be the main man and score our goals. If he was one for the future, he wouldn't have been given the number 9 shirt in my opinion.

Malky maybe correct in that he is one for the future, that doesn't mean he can't cut it in the premiere league. How can most people see he is not ready,most people haven't seen enough to judge.

Its not his fault Malky paid so much for him, I hope he can do well.

Its just unfortunate that we blew a major part of our budget on him for the future when we needed someone for now,

I'll repeat what i've already said, the manager and back room staff don't think he's ready is that not enough to go by??? but you're missing the main point of all this, from February last season (in the championship) it was quite obvious that we needed to spend big in the summer on a striker that could get us 10-12 goals in the premiership, malky went out and spent £8 million + 45k a week wages on a 20 year old who is "one for the future". (malkys words)

You got to laugh at people who say why didnt Tan step in and put the block on the Cornelius signing.

The same people who would go bananas if he would get involved in football decisions.

You could just imagine the outcry on here if it was said Tan stopped Malky signing someone he wanted to as Tan didnt think he was a good player.

Double standards? Not arrrf.

The Wanyama and Montero deals were completely different as things had been agreed then the clubs / agents started pissing us around.

I'm pretty sure the backroom staff are refering to his injury, when they say he isn't ready. Saying 'One for the future' doesn't preclude him from getting 10 gaols in one season. Many players have been premiereship quality at 20 while moving on to an even bigger future. you can be quality and still have an even better future no?

Have you read the article from kevin cooper???? he says of cornelius......he is raw, he's still a boy who needs a lot of coaching, a lot of work, i'm not blaming cornelius i'm sure he'll eventually make it, i'm blaming the previous manager for not bringing in a tried and trusted goal scorer.

How do we know Tan personally sanctioned it?

He had given Malky / Moody a budget to work to as they seen fit.

And even if he did sanction it, at that point he is going on the say so of his recruitment team. You know, the ones with the football knowledge.

Its become glaringly obvious since then that this kid is not worth the package we have laid out.

Who is keith cooper? And how muchof Cornelius has he seen? How many league titles has cooper won?

Are you being serious???? it's Kevin cooper (he used to play for the city) he is the u21 coach who will see cornelius on a day to day basis, as for how many medals has he won, that is a ridiculous comment, a good coach is not based on what or how many medals he's won it's on his ability to coach players, ask alex ferguson.

I agree with almost all the comments made about the DANISH TANK

BUT

I think he will come good, in fact I think he is better than what he looks like when we have seen him play. Lets be honest, most big, tall, powerful upfront strikers (even the ones with lots of experience) look slow, gangly and off the pace on the ball - (eg- crouch, toshack, etc) but they seem to put in a quick spurt of energy and seem to be in the right place at the right time with the head or powershot. We HAVE seen this a couple of times with THE TANK, even though I do see what most are saying.

I think he will come good, very good and we will all be feeling a bit foolish.

For the present though, I wish we had a partnership like Alston/Evans - a sort of telepathic understanding in front of goal.
Mind you with Zaha on one wing and Noone on the other dropping in and crossing with Campbell or Maybe Cornelius - I feel much more excited about our prospects.

Blooobirds Forever !!!!

Tan sanctioned the money atleast by way of proxy. If not he is a negligent owner.

The kid is injured, nobody has seen his true potential and I doubt we ever will at Cardiff due to the 'booboys'

Tans sanctioned a budget. Its not his fault it was wasted.

Is this a serious post?

this thread should be titled...lets blame tan..

Malky it seems was not actually responsible for anything............unless we won........we won Malky picked the team...WE lost and tan interfered............good signings are Malkys, bad ones Tans................funny thing is,Malky didnt pick the tan signings to play even though tan picked the team..............

as for Acorn.........the point is not if he will come good...he is not good enough now, thats not my opinion,or dai or fred or anyone else on the board.............he isnt being picked, not by OGS, not by Kers,, and not by the man that signed him.........which means...HE ISNT GOOD ENOUGH...NOW............

Exactly. But when he got here it became pretty obvious he was nowhere near the finished article, and Malky tried to cover his back by starting all the 'one for the future' stuff. He obviously wasn't scouted thoroughly, which I guess was Moody's department.

Tans sanctioned a budget. Its not his fault it was wasted.

well..if he doesnt,he is as big a fool as Tan

You got to laugh at people who say why didnt Tan step in and put the block on the Cornelius signing.

The same people who would go bananas if he would get involved in football decisions.

You could just imagine the outcry on here if it was said Tan stopped Malky signing someone he wanted to as Tan didnt think he was a good player.

The Wanyama and Montero deals were completely different as things had been agreed then the clubs / agents started pissing us around.

correct chris
the extra 2 million for wanyama was for the agent celtic did not benefit from the extra money

I'm not suggesting Vincent Tan oversea the buying of oranges for the under 10's, But I'm pretty sure Richard Branson would be involved in a record contract no?.

We still don't know who pulled out, Tans men or Malky. Either way Malky would front the media and bring news of the clubs decision topull out, this doesn't mean it was his decision.

the point really is not who pulled the plug..........it was over a price hike.....not to do with ability......

Nope and yet another waste of money by malky imo.

Name me one 2o year old in the history of football that is the finished article?

He was always one for the future, who is capable of ten goals a season NOW. So far he's been injured so the jury is out, so allthose looking for scapegoat come back after 12 premiereship starts.

8 million for a player that is raw as a cows backside is the problem. Now I cant stand Tan but I can understand his problem with this signing. But saying that we now need to get off his case as he is a young lad and let the coaching staff do the bizz with him.

the extra 2 million for wanyama was for the agent celtic did not benefit from the extra money

We still don't know who pulled out, Tans men or Malky. Either way Malky would front the media and bring news of the clubs decision topull out, this doesn't mean it was his decision.

the point really is not who pulled the plug..........it was over a price hike.....not to do with ability......

This is what really happened as Celtic confirmed at the time that Cardiff had not matched the asking price at any time

Oh Bugger, I'd just penned a song for him as well (to the tune of "That's Amore")

If the Ball hits your Head
When your sat in Row Z
That Cornelius!!
