This guy is more raw than my bell after a 24 shagging sesh. If we r relegated, the money wasted on cornflake will be the main reason why imo. Malky and his dummy of a sidekick moody were useless at spending the transfer budget. Atleast ole is getting value for money, 3/4 players for around 5 mil.

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.


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.

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

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. :thumbright:


He's been fit for months. He just hasn't been playing much. Why? Because he isn't good enough. Simple. How do you know he's capable of 10 goals a season? You've only seen as much of him as the rest of us. How you came to that conclusion is beyond me. Its not a question of looking for a scapegoat, we have enough of those, its a question of acknowledging a bad investment. I sincerely hope I'm proved wrong and he bangs in some goals in the near future, I just can't see it.

Such a contradictory headline.. you say lay off him, yet you call him Andrea :D

Whatever happens Cornelius will go down in Cardiff City folklore. We've cheered the likes of Eddie Johnson & Leo Fortune West.. Cheer for Cornelius.. he's the next big thing!!
