Sign him up :thumbup:
One for the future.
He was shit when he was here
Well said Tony
Andreas Cornelius didn't start a league game for City before being sold back to Copenhagen for an undisclosed fee.
Meanwhile, Gary Madine's league stats for Cardiff are as follows:
6 (+13) appearances, 0 goals.
This season he's made a grand total of one appearance in the Championship (in the first game) and hasn't been seen since. He can't even get on the bench.
Madine reportedly cost £6 million. Somehow, I can't see anyone buying him any time soon. Cornelius is regularly described as the worst transfer in City's history, but surely Madine will represent worse value for money unless he somehow works his way into the team and starts scoring goals.
We received a reported seven figure loan fee for Madine from Sheffield United last season plus a seven figure bonus for him when Sheffield Utd got promotion. Our net outlay on him is therefore considerably reduced and not bad value considering we got promotion with him in the squad and he contributed a number of assists, including to the equaliser at Sheffield United, without which we would not have gone up automatically.
Rubbish! Your facts are incorrect. He did not play 8 games for us! Eight games would make 720 mins. He actually played 107 mins for us in 8 substitute appearances. That's the equivalent of playing 1 game and 17 mins.
If you are interested he played:
Aug 25th 2013 … Man C (h) … 1 min
*Nov 24th 2013 … Man U (h) … 6 mins
Nov 30th 2013 … Arsenal (h) … 3 mins
Dec 7th 2013 … C Pal (a) … 22 mins
Dec 21st 2013 ...Liverpool (a) … 10 mins
Dec 26th 2013 … Southampton (h) … 45 mins
Dec 28th 2013 … Sunderland (h) … 8 mins
Jan 11th 2014 … WHU (h) … 12 mins
* He suffered a very bad ankle injury in a cup game which meant he was out injured for 3 months before this game.

Frederic Guonongbe made 14 appearances (per Wiki - or 15 per WalesOnline) over 2 years and didn't score. Free transfer though.

Derek Showers?
edit:
just looked it up. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Showers, 10 goals from 83
good grief. just realised madine could go through a "purple patch" of a goal every 5 games and easily beat 10 goals from 83
My point entirely, TLG. There is far too much revisionism in some quarters which is obviously devoid of true facts. I've posted elsewhere a breakdown of Cornelius' 8 substitute appearances either side of a bad ankle injury that sidelined him for over half of the time he was at the Club.
The facts are beyond question. League games only.
Games Started/Substitute: Cornelius ... 0/8 Madine ... 5/14
Minutes Played: Cornelius ... 107 Madine
... 603
Full Games Equivalent: Cornelius ... 1g17mins Madine ... 6g63mins

Glatzel, interestingly, who the media and fans hold in high regard, has played 551 mins (6g11mins) before he scored his first goal in open play [and 426 mins (4g66mins) for his opening goal from the penalty spot.]
Yes, opinion sadly, shapes views more than facts where CCFC is concerned.

They were both terrible signings and a waste of a lot of money. Madine did contribute something in the promotion season but it was below de minimis; Cornelius contributed absolutely **** all. Not really sure there is any point in comparing inthem, both were awful transfers
Cornelius had a serious ankle injury that put him out of the game for 3 months. Either side of that he played the equivalent of 1 game 17 mins whilst at City. That seems a very short time to make your assessment. Its interesting to note that Glatzel played 6 games 11 mins before he scored his first goal from open play.
