Metro Posted April 29, 2022 Share Posted April 29, 2022 19 hours ago, Obinna said: Anyone know what the option to buy price is on Cornelius? According to the article, it's 400K euros. I would hold off on doing the heavy research on Cornelius moving to Ferencvaros. Rumours like these are a dime a dozen in Greek sports media. The article even states that this is just ONE option to consider. The other is to expand the loan for another 6 months. (It also says that the move to Ferencvaros move was also considered during the January window.) Obinna and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Had his last match of the season yesterday.

Olympique_de_Marseille Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 He is in preseason training and played ½ a preseason match for Panetolikos yesterday.https://www.panetolikos.gr/proto-filiko-me-itta/ Reminder that his loan expires at the end of the calendar year but Panetolikos have an option to buy his contract.

Unnamed Trialist Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 He started a preseason friendly today away to Sloboda Uzice of Serbia, lost 1-0. There seems to be a stream of the game here, but no scoreboard or clock He's no 13 yellow team, centre of defence. johnyb, Xavier., blueseeka and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pod818 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Started today and played 90' in a 1-1 tie against Atromitos. He didn't see much time during WCQ, and I'm not sure how Herdman rates him, but he has been getting consistent playing time, and seems to do well with it. He should move ahead of Henry dyslexic nam, johnyb, Corazon and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that, Cornelius wasn't overage at the time (I thought I heard the commentator say that during a game, but I must be misremembering that). I guess my feeling that Cornelius will get a fair shake is built on shaky ground. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadenge Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Cornelius played every game during GC 2019 and paired Vitoria in that big win vs USA at BMO in CNL all under JH. Just think Miller has jumped ahead at LCB. I still expect him to be there for Qatar. He's been playing every game since he moved to Greece plus Kennedy and Henry have not been playing much. Don't known if he has ever played as a RCB though. johnyb, Shway, narduch and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, it's great if you can do that. But what's more important is to first concentrate on getting the best players out on the field though. Gimme the best CB's available with great defensive instincts, positioning & reading of the game. Being a good/great passer ain't worth a shit if you aren't doing your main job of defending. After that, (or if things are really close between a couple of players) then I might consider which is his stronger foot. dyslexic nam, costarg, Stryker911 and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After that, (or if things are really close between a couple of players) then I might consider which is his stronger foot. I think that it is not as important when it's two CBs in a back four but a little more signicant in a back three where the outside CB might be out wider and has to use his weaker foot more for the build up progressive passing. That none of Miller, Kennedy, nor Cornelius has been started at RCB in a back three (might be wrong on this point) means to me that it is a factor for the coaching staff.

Kadenge Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 Adekugbe has cemented his starting position on the team. So he either starts at LB in a back 4 or LWB and Davies moves up with David. I suspect JH goes with a back 4 vs back 3 narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeRo_Is_King Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 (edited) For me, Cornelius is sixth on our backline - meaning second off the bench. In the 11 are Adekugbe, Miller, Vitoria and Laryea. Then Johnston (feel insane putting him on the bench) and Cornelius after that. I'm hopeful about Kennedy as well. Made such an impact and impression early on. I think he still has something to offer. I feel this is a pretty solid group of backs. Edit: Forgot to add Waterman in eighth - maybe competing for seventh. Edited September 5, 2022 by DeRo_Is_King Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOcanadafan Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 It’s tough to compare Cornelius, Kennedy and Waterman… hopefully all 3 will be in the September camp so Herdman can decide. footballfreak, An Observer and gigi riva 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
