Hopefully a permanent move can be worked out. If he impresses and get a move to a bigger Greek club then he should shoot up the depth chart. AEK, Olympaicos, Panathinaikos and PAOK are no slouches.

blueseeka Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 His control with the ball has definitely improved. He made a couple nices tougher passes during AEK game that i watched Unnamed Trialist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps both teams had key players with covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I wonder if his play is putting the bigger Greek teams on notice? I bet Vancouver would be happy to turn a tidy little profit on him, and I bet Herdman would be thrilled to get another defender playing at a tier 1 European club such as Olympiacos.

Floortom Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Is it common for players to move from that club to the bigger Greek clubs? It's a very small club. I'm on transfrmket looking at their last few seasons squads and not seeing much movement up. Although Im sure it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 Just over 2 years ago, Cornelius started every game in GC 2019 and in the 2-0 NL home win v USA. Perhaps others can correct me but I don't think he has had a poor game for Canada? He's also pretty decent on set pieces and defending against crosses into the box. trc2014, narduch, Addona and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bdog Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I think he'll be important for us this window. As good as Johnston/Miller have been at CB, I'd feel more comfortable if we play the guys currently in season. Though with 3 game windows I guess we have to rotate anyways.

I imagine scouts from the Turkish league scope out the Greek league, so there may be some admirers there as well. Metro 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 (edited) One lineup I saw suggested he was a right-side wing back or mid today. It'd be great to see highlights. The team is getting some distance from the relegation group and sniffing midtable. Deybi Flores the Honduran former Whitecap played 90 but he was left out of the Honduras team for this window.

Kadenge Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Cornelius has his 21st appearance in the Greek top flight today and while Panetolikos is in the bottom half of the table the team has been performing well recently. If he stays healthy and continues to start for his team this season, Derek will surpass all his appearances with the Whitecaps in the last 3 seasons. Would really like to see him start at least 1 game in the next WCQ window. His last start was away to Jamaica Xavier., Nate3322, Olympique_de_Marseille and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I mistaken: he was our only field player to not get minutes last window? Also think he should get minutes, and also pleased our pool is widening.

BearcatSA Posted February 20, 2022 Share Posted February 20, 2022 Still puzzled as to why it didn't work out in Vancouver for him. He always seemed to be afforded a lower margin for error than the other CBs before getting the hook. However, I am very pleased to see him back in the mix via his club play.

I agree re: Cornelious being given a shorter leash than others. I find when a guy's on a lower value contract, managers generally give them the hook faster than guys the club/manager "has committed to" in the form of a higher value contract. The irony, especially in a salary cap league, is that this is essentially a sunk cost fallacy in action. footballfreak and Club Linesman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mind-boggling because in his case, the player he lost his place to was mostly Andy Rose, who was essentially a player-coach at that point. Andy seemed like a decent guy, but his performances were underwhelming. Another MDS mystery. footballfreak, Club Linesman, GasPed and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
