I miss him for the future. I see this player scoring a lot of goals for Ajax next year. The dutch want him.

One with potential for sure.
hard work and match fitness seem to of gone a miss here at cardiff though.
maybe he was enjoying spending his money more than the playing football and looking after himself to the standard needed in a better league

Ståle Solbakken said in an interview that even tho Corn has scored 2 in 3 league matches he aint satsified with him.

He has lots to learn when it comes to positioning and using his body to get advantages. This time im sure he stays in FCK for a while to develop further.

I remember watching some DVP games where he was getting pushed off the ball by small defenders...

I still think he can come good eventually being so young - but I don't think he adjusted culturally very well, got injured right away and then everyone turned on him pretty quick - would be tough for anyone that age to cope with that - but I wish him all the best and will still be keeping an eye out for his next move hopefully in a few years.

In copenhagen there is a new saying when you want to earn a lot of money quick:
"We take a cornelius". :laughing6:

Everyone in Denmark known he never was worth more than 1 mill.gbp :lol:

He was awful for us but still think we should have kept him.

I remember he came on as a sub and the shit tw*t couldn't be bothered to chase the ball that rolled about 3 feet away from him..
If we had paid 200k to someone like mansfield for him as a future prospect then fair enough as 200k is not much to waste but 8 million :roll:

I think the moral of the story there was we couldnt keep continuing to throw good money after bad.

If he was on 5-10k a week fair enough but it was costing £200k a month to keep him on the payroll and those funds needed to be freed up so Ole could bring some players in.

Like Nigel Pearson said 500k gamble is what he should have been. 8m and 45k a week is more than madness, even more crazy is Malky still thinks he is right about signing him, madness.

Like betting on a 500-1 shot in the National which turned out to be a donkey rather than a thoroughbred. Cornelius is playing at a level which is far below Premiership level. Looks like some of the defenders there are about parks level so don't read too much into the goals he's scoring. Even Eddie Johnson would look good at that level!!!

An overpriced, overhyped player bought in which might turn out to be a very underhand deal.

I've never heard of missing a player in the future.
