soccer.shocker Posted January 17, 2019 Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hopefully this a good move for him! Wondering if Herdman put some sort of bug in Dos Santos' ear about him or had anything to do with the move? Somehow I think Herdman is following his players and their clubs much more closely than Zambrano and Floro did. Cblake and Northvansteve 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herdman has directly credited services such as TransferMarkt, Wyscout, InStat and social media accounts such as Canucks Abroad with helping him and his staff throughout his tenure so far. This is certainly more progressive than any other manager that we have had. ghostknownunknown, johnyb, Cblake and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nolando Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 How compatible do people see Cornelius with Henry? We could well have our national team pairing playing together at club level for the forseeable future. Has this EVER happened? Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the strongest of opposition, but they did look good together. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) Henry has missed a few matches in the past years due to injuries, they might not play together that much. Edited January 18, 2019 by shamrock Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herdman clearly seems to favour Cornelius but I can't imagine he was thrilled that his starting CB was riding the pine in the Serbian second division. Persons of influence tend to use it. Just happy the player could be going somewhere to play and develop. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keegan Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 This is awesome. 3 games for the national team and things change in a hurry - that’s the way it hasn’t been in the past but it should be moving forward. I don’t think another manager in Canada would try this, certainly not Vanney. I think it’s going to pay off for MDS. Kent and Cblake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bdog Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Henry is the only other CB they have right now, right? Obviously they're going to have to sign a few more but it looks like Cornelius has a chance to grab the starting spot. I may have to secretly cheer for the Whitecaps this year, last year I watched most games but only cared about Davies. The starting XI is looking pretty Canadian right now, though we thought the Limpact would play a bunch last year and Piette was the only regular starter so who knows.

Keegan Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Really excited to see what MDS does with the other Canadians. Everything he touches turns to gold and he ALWAYS does it with Canadians too. It’s really counter-intuitive to the MLS coaches we’ve had up here before .. winning games and playing Canadians.

Club Linesman Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Absolutely stoked that Cornelius is coming home and that I can watch Phonzie playing for Bayern Munich. Had to cancel BEIN and pick up SNWorld to ensure more Junior and Davies games are seen at the expense of La Liga and Ligue 1. Being able to watch our players on cable instead of dodgy internet streams is fantastic and with the CPL starting we will hopefully be watching tons of Canadian content each and every week. Perhaps as more Canadians make their marks and the CPL gets off to a strong start, the National Men's Team might actually play a televised game during a FIFA window that isn't Nations League. Here's hoping. Ruffian and Cblake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More of a depth guy than anything. So at the moment, Henry and Cornelius are 1-2 on the depth chart. They will surely bring in one or two more CBs.

toontownman Posted January 19, 2019 Share Posted January 19, 2019 Signed for a year with two more year options. Tells me he is #3 at best in the plans. He will get game time though for sure. Nice read and by the looks of it he wasnt too shabby a striker either! Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
