Trash must have transferred from his old beat as Sportsnet's designated CFL hitman. On to fresh meat, Canadian soccer. Madani is the Brian Stelter of Canadian sport.

If Cornelius moves to Marseille, that leaves Davies, David, Bombito, Millar and Shaffelburg as the only likely Copa players left available for transfer. Is the latest and greatest tag wearing off of Bombito, Millar and Shaffelburg or can we still expect a move.

Mercato OM: Who is Derek Cornelius? The opinion of two specialists… footballclubdemarseille-fr July 26 2024 Marseille leaders are about to complete the arrival of defender Derek Cornelius, Canadian international. Who is this player playing in Sweden? Answer with two specialists! OM's 5th recruit could be named Derek Cornelius. In this article, you will find more information on this Canadian international, including the opinion of a specialist in Nordic football and that of football on the American continent. First of all, the Nordisk Football account drew up a complete portrait of the player via his X account on Cornelius, who has been playing in Malmö since February 2023. A player who has established himself in the Swedish championship and who has quite a few qualities: “His vision of the game is interesting. Able to anticipate the movements of opposing attackers, he is rarely overtaken and well placed to intervene, which makes him a player very inclined to intercept balls. His physique is one of his main qualities. Fast and powerful, he comes out very quickly on opposing players to catch them off guard, which makes him one of the best Allsvenskan players in one-on-one situations. His aerial game is also excellent. He very often imposes himself thanks to his physique and has an interesting relaxation. Cornelius, a reference to his position at home with Malmö However, Cornelius has flaws, as Nordisk Football points out. “His aggression towards the ball carrier sometimes harms him. The Canadian is therefore a player who is likely to make more mistakes, even if he has the intelligence to make them at opportune moments so as not to put his team in danger. His physique necessarily creates a certain lack of agility, making him not very versatile in a single action. His defensive actions are therefore sometimes a little annihilated against very technical players. Not really comfortable with the long game, he is a player who will prefer to multiply short passes rather than overthrow or find his teammates in depth. It's not necessarily a weakness, but it can become one since it sometimes slows down the game." The player could arrive as a backup to the left central defender position. Rough, Cornélius a good understudy to Brassier? FC Marseille also contacted our comrade Pierre Gerbeaud who follows football on the American continent for the opposing media Lucarne . He gives us his opinion on a player he saw play during the last Copa America, with Canada . “Cornelius made the Copa America with Canada, starting with Bombito, who was announced in Lyon. He's a left center, he made his comeback because he was a little off the radar. I saw him four and a half matches during this competition. For me he is not a starter ahead of Brassier at OM. He is rather rough, he took two or three yellows during the competition, rather aggressive on the ball carrier. Canada is a team that plays lower than what De Zerbi's OM will do. He tended to clear the ball, as a liner it's perfect. He has a reading of the game that holds up. He's a defender who can do the job, he can help out in Merlin's place himself. He reads the game well, he is not slow." Not a day goes by on the OM side without new transfer information and rumors . According to information from RMC Sport, the Marseille leaders are on the verge of completing a new arrival. “Marseille almost agrees with Canadian international Derek Cornelius . The central defender wants to play in Marseille. Brest and Lille are also interested. Ongoing discussions between OM and Malmö. The Swedes are demanding around €3.5M” reveals journalist Fabrice Hawkins on his Twitter account. The name of the Canadian central defender had not filtered until today. The latter played 46 matches with Malmö last season and scored 6 goals. He also has 18 caps with Canada. The Marseille club has already signed 4 recruits since the start of the transfer window: Ismaël Koné, Lilian Brassier, Mason Greenwood and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg. Olympian leaders should not stop there: Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah and Argentine playmaker Valentin Carboni are also in advanced discussions with OM.

Trash Madani? I don't believe it.

Still is to be on the "A" team and it pisses me off. There are some former NT guys coming along as analysts but you need guys doing PBP and colour (save the dork who promotes his own catchphrases)

Butler is the poor man's Karin Larsen She seems to have taken over the position that the equally quiet Karin Larsen had.

Signa Butler has been quietly going about her business at CBC for a long time. She often pops up and does a good competent job but seems to have the lowest profile of any CBC on air personality I've ever seen.

Is he going to force people to call him Dr Kevin, like Dr Jill?

For some reason the YouTube algorithm brought me this today, instead of the usual same channels it always suggests.
