I know we thought he wasn't any good but is there any sell-on clause..

This what the report says about sell-on:

"It is uncertain whether Cardiff would receive any kind of financial benefit from the deal such as a sell-on fee clause after Cardiff sold Cornelius back to FC Copenhagen, only six months after originally signing for the Bluebirds."

Might be worth a cheeky bid.

Now does that sound like something that we'd do?

I'd love Cornelius to make it at a bigger club

On your first point, the undisclosed fee might indeed suggest that we had a sell on clause!!

On your second point, I wholeheartedly agree. He had plenty of talent but arrived when we were in turmoil off the pitch and was never given a proper chance. I've read all sorts of rumours about his time here, but his injury away at some lower league club (midweek night game?) was exactly what he didn't need at that time.

Yes. Malky & Moody get £4 million to share between them.

I like the way the article says the move means he will get the chance to play in the Europa league.
He played in the champions league and the Europa league this season with Copenhagen, only going out to Ajax in the last round

I hope Tan gets a quid for every ounce of respect he gave the lad.

4 million Euro according to Danish media!

I expect Vinny is penning a thank you card to Malky as we speak.

Probably

Just watching the Schalke v Ajax quarter final. Another ex City player, Guido Hotdogvan starting for Schalke.

If it's good enough for Ratcliffe...

He's just scored as well to make it 2-2!

What we wanted was patience with the lad. New country, new league, still a teenager and a huge price tag to justify.

I've seen him a few times since and think he'll be successful.

My opinion is that he has nothing to be ashamed of for his time at Cardiff. Had there been a modicum of sanity at the club at the time, he may well have been a hit.

Craig Bellamy said he was the worst pro he'd ever seen, and he played like it too. We couldn't afford to be patience with a lone striker on £45k a week. Good luck to him but 1 in 4 since he's left is hardly a ringing endorsement.

Where are you getting this 1 in 4 figure from?

In the league this season he's scored 9 times in 21 appearances, plus 5 assists.
Even if you throw champions league and Europa league games into the mix i think his record is better than 1 in 3

He's got 25 in 85 in Denmark since his return. Admittedly he's scored a few since I last looked but that's 1 in 3.4 for the best club in Denmark by a country mile. He's not very good. It was an awful transfer and I will be amazed if he makes it in Serie A.

Closer to 1 in 3 according to Wikipedia. Any link to that Bellamy quote? I've only ever seen it on here.

Admittedly I looked a few weeks ago, and he's scored a few goals since then. It's still 25 in 85, which is hardly setting the world alight. The Bellamy quote was at that fan's meeting, and was reported on here by multiple reliable sources. I can't remember who but they all came back and said CB laid into him.

The debate doesn't seem to be whether he can set the world alight or not, but if he can kick a ball let alone is he good enough to be a pro. 25 in 85 confirms that he is.

He will always go down as one of our worst signings because he was too expensive and too raw, but he's clearly good enough to make a living in the game and at a level that the majority of players aren't good enough to reach.

Yep, thats how he was viewed by his fellow professionals.

Always wondered if there was a bit of jealousy as he was on big bucks as well.

I did tip him to be great........

I think a lot of people thought he'd do well, considering who he was linked with as well! Maybe he even believed his own hype, we don't know but he didn't show it
