18 league goals, 1 domestic cup goal, 1europa goal and 5 international goals. I just hope he's not another nicklas bendtner. By the looks on youtube he looks a class act :malky: :malky:

from what i can see in his youtube video he has very quick feet, good technique, great in the air, can shoot and take free kicks.. lets hope he does the business. i think with good service he can be very dangerous :ayatollah:

Etien Velikonja and Kadeem Harris looked good on YouTube....

£8.5 million is a lot of money and I don't think Malky , Iain Moody and Mark Stow would spend that much on a player who may not make it.

Let's hope he should be worth £15 million and we got a bargain!

Iam on a course at ccs and I saw him. Didn't have.a.clue who he was but just seen photo of him

Re: ' CORNELIUS SET TO JOIN CARDIFF CITY £8 MILL '

Thu Jun 27, 2013 1:21 pm

Young, hungry, technically good and able to play up top on his own away from home. Very good buy all things considered and he wont be on too heavy a wage. Its a Malky classic, lets the papers talk the shit and gets on with business. :ayatollah:

Re: ' CORNELIUS SET TO JOIN CARDIFF CITY £8 MILL '

Thu Jun 27, 2013 1:26 pm

Another good point is he doesnt count towards our 25 man squad :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Re: ' CORNELIUS SET TO JOIN CARDIFF CITY £8 MILL '

Thu Jun 27, 2013 1:27 pm

this guy is amazing - unbelievable prospect. He "will" be worth £20-£30million in a couple of years. He looks like Becks on the dead ball and he's like RVP around the box. His left foot is better than his right - and thats like a cannon. Well done Malky

Manchester United hero Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has urged his former club to sign FC Copenhagen striker Andreas Cornelius, who he believes has the ability to go “as far as he wants.”

Cornelius, 19, signed for Copenhagen in April this year and has enjoyed a remarkable start to life as a professional footballer, scoring 10 goals in his first 11 appearances, and has already been awarded his first cap for Denmark.

The teenager scored his first European goal on Thursday against Solskjaer’s Molde in the Europa League, and the former United striker is clearly impressed with what he saw from the talented striker, going as far as claiming he has all the right attributes to succeed at Old Trafford.

“Yes, he’s definitely an option (for United),” Solskjaer said. “He has the qualities to play at the top level if he continues his development.

Malky true to form signs another young player with huge potential. He is slowly building a squad of young high quality talent. The future looks bright. Nice to be back talking about players and not fecking colours :laughing6: :ayatollah:

Andreas Cornelius is a very talented player, but he has his limitations as well.

Strengths: Physically strong, quite good technique, good finishing, positioning in the opponents area, nose for goals, heading. In addition it is worth mentioning that he seems like a lad with both feet on the ground. He doesn't whine when he is brought down, which I know is popular in British football.

Weaknesses: Speed, lack of routine, has a tendency of falling out the game.

All in all, I think he can be a good signing. My only scepsis is, that Cardiff currently holds six forwards?


Thanks! Great analysis!! And I loved the old Premier manager games, too!

Well done Malky! Hell of a signing!

Re: ' CORNELIUS SET TO JOIN CARDIFF CITY £8 MILL '

Thu Jun 27, 2013 1:38 pm

gutted to see him in your jerseys; delighted not to play against him in the danish "superleague"

Would call him a younger verion of Benfigas cardoza, but faster - could despite of his pricetag turn out to be a bargain (although I hope not :roll: )

GL with him

The thing is everyone looks good on YOUTUBE.

This danish fella has shocked me and I hope he won't turn out to be like Etien Velikonja who was signed by Malky for €3.6 million and worse of all... only played him 3 games! I hope this signing will be a good one!

You're welcome. Good news for me is that Cardiffs matches will be shown on Danish TV now. Bad news is that we will problably see a tendency that the number of young Danish Cardiff-fanboys will grow now. Obv. most annoying for me since I have supported CCFC since 97 genuinly. Oh well, the love of modern football. ;)

Just watched a youtube montage. He seems really mobile for 6'4. LOVES A HEADER , can drop deep &and dribble or play a simple ball on the deck and about quick enough for the ball over the top. But that was against rubbish opposition. My 2 concerns were his finnishing with feet and he seems to dwell on the ball when dropping deep. He won't get that space in the prem. but he is young and will hopefully step up. Like this signing.

I know anyone can look good on you Tube but this Guy does look talented good in the air with a sublime touch and knows how to finish. Bigger Clubs than us have been watching him but fair play Malky has stepped in and clinched the deal 8m seems a lot but if he scores in the premiership at the age of 20 is value can only increase exciting times :malky: :ayatollah:

Least you can put your head above the rest and say you've been here even through the tough times whilst the young Danish fan boys will love us as well, you'll be the standout from the rest :notworthy:
