I notice Cornelius is in the Denmark team tonight against Poland.
However we'll he's doing tonight I believe their manager is a brave man not playing Zohore tonight. He tore Czech u21s apart not long ago and surely the Danes haven't got enough to justify leaving Zohore out of the squad. (Unless they've unleashed 11 Preben Elkjaer's!)
On a selfish note I'm glad they haven't selected him but it's only a matter of time.
Cornelius plays at a higher level and doesn't have a bad record in Danish football.
If we're comparing the two based on their time at City then Zohore is clearly far superior. Not even close.
Yes but the coach would be crazy to base selection on that.Quote:

Ken can't be too far behind though
What was the real Corny story ? His time at Cardiff just didn't make sense with his life before and after.
I would genuinely like to see Cornelius do well. He's been slagged off too much by Tan as a dud, when it was just a case of the boy wasn't quite ready to hit the ground running and got unlucky in the timing of his injury.
If we stayed in the prem and Andreas stayed with us who knows how he would have turned out.
To be fair to Tan he said Malky told him after he signed him he was a project. Hes correct when he says we didnt need a project we needed immediate quality.Quote:

We should never have signed Cornelius.
I havent seen Cornelius since he left us. I cant believe hes better than Ken.
There's no way malky thought he was a project when he paid that money for him. He took a gamble on a player who wasn't quite ready, and then we didn't play to his strengthsQuote:

Anyway, life goes on and we have KennyZ.
Cornelius scores! Eriksson is a smashing player.
Toyota!
After he was signed and handed the number 9 shirt. £10m and 45k a week doesn't scream "project".Quote:

Ken - obviously.
I'd take Fred over Cornelius

Good quality highlights here.
Cornelius goal at about 4 mins
Or more likely, to take the pressure off Mackay for a poor buy.Quote:

It's pretty clear in my mind that Acorn only became a project once Malky had cast his eye over him a few times in training and realised he was miles off the pace. So yeah, a face saving exercise for Malky.
I also think Malky would be the first to admit it was a bad signing too
