What on earth was Malky thinking or did he panic.

Why on earth didn't we go for Troy Deeney back then!!
And yet, he's played in Serie A, Ligue 1, the Champions League and played in a World Cup Finals tournament for a top ten in the world team - not sure any of the City youngsters who were ridiculing him five years ago have managed that yet.

If I remember rightly, Cornelius may well have been our first signing of the summer of 2013, so I don't think it was panic which drove Mackay to go after him - he was a disastrous signing who was completely wrong for what we needed at that time, but I think his subsequent career has shown that he's not as bad as he looked most of the time while he was here.
