Where would Cornelius fit in to the team ?

We know he is nearly back to fitness and is in training but thinking about it I can't see him fitting into the team unless we change formation .

I don't see him ( from the short time we've seen him play ) as a player who can fill the role Campbell is currently playing . Corner is more of a target man and will need a quick partner alongside him . He will not play the number10 roll and chase everything like Campbell . He needs to be the man at the top , sitting on the shoulder of the last defender .

So what happens when fit ?
A change of formation slightly by dropping gunnarsson and adopting a 4-1-3-2 instead of a 4-2-3-1 is the only way I can see him fitting in . We can't go back to a 4-4-2 really because it just doesn't suit our style of play or players we have available unless you start dropping whitts or kimbo which is not going to happen .

Maybe this is the team we will see in a week or two ! Will give us a totally different attacking threat and when we do come up against the big teams we will revert to the defensive formation that has served us well .

The other option is cornelius is just a 8 mill bench warmer and comes on for 10 mins here and there :?

It's good that we are playing well without him, we don't have to rush him in, and when teams have Sussed how to play us, we can unleash him and playa differnt way!!!
