Did Malky watch Cornelius play

Sat Feb 15, 2014 9:55 am

I am watching him play on Eurosport 2... A pre season friendly against Spartak Moscow thirds. He should be the fittest player on the park as he has been with us and he looks nothing special....

What did Malky see, was it solely down to Moody ?????

I am not interested in the Malky debate, but did he go and watch him himself for a few games ???????

He bought him because he knew he'd be shit, obviously.

Malky supposedly tracked a year earlier but there isn't specific mentions of him watching Cormelius. However he did trust Moody implicitly and I'm sure he MUST have watched him.

Moody - "Oh Malky butt, if we sign this Cornelious fella i've arranged that we'll get a tasty cut of the deal ourselves, what you reckon?"

Malky - "Aye, sounds good to me babe"

Any manager who spends that much on a player should watch them in the flesh... You'd not get a top 4 manager splashing a club record fee without watching them...

Come to think of it. ..... Back then, I received an email from Denmark from a now Director of a Football Club who said that he had heard of the interest in the player and could arrange the transfer to Cardiff for no more than 5 million GBP.

I passed this to the club board and received no response.

The Danish couldn't believe it when they heard he went for 8 and all the extras.

Hmmmmmmm......... Steveo !!

join the dots...........this isnt exactly news..........and WHY is Tan like a dog with a bone over it..

brayford,velikonja..peter O.etc etc etc...........managers dont always get it correct...and chairmen/boards know this.

but this particular transfer was miles off.............

Moody watched him three times, that alone is justifying his job to be sacked.

Allegedly Malky was tipped off about him from another premier league Manager, he was being watched and a lot of clubs were considering a bid, big clubs, but at much lower amounts.

It just looks like we took a punt on him, the rest is history it was a big expensive mistake.....

Someone close to the club informed me that malky watched his youtube video, and thought he was the best thing since sliced bread. He then told Tan to pull out all the stops to sign 'The one for the future'.

Moody watched Cornelius three times(after the Danish League was wrapped up for Kopenhagen) and passed it on to Malky.


Sums the whole deal up
