Well done Gloves, that was informative and well written.
I'm extremely excited by this and I feel we have sorted the goal scoring issue we had last year in one fell swoop.
I can't wait for the Real Sociedad friendly to see him in action!

£8.5M seems a lot for potential rather than the finished product.
Glad someone has been brought in though and unsurprisingly no-one predicted this among the so-called 'in the know' gang.

I haven't felt this excited since we signed Velikonja....
Seriously though, I can understand people who will argue he's too young, but it's a risk worth taking. I would rather spend £8m on him than say the same price on Conner Wickham.

He will produce the goods. He scored a cracker against the Czech Republic and has been tracked by a host of clubs. Malky has only made one signing who hasn't lived up to the hype, and that's Etien. But the rumours suggest that he may not have been a Malky signing. Cornelius will score goals.

he's only 20, as with ince and wanyama if they improve they can be sold on for... well the sky's the limit. malky definitely knows what he's doing.
have we all watched the video on that bloody good blog piece? some of those goals, touches and movement are disgusting!

This keeps coming up, but is not supported by what I remember and the press report that (I think) Tonker resurrected. Any clue as to the source of the rumours.........

...and this was the resurrected BBC report, which quotes Malky as saying "I'm looking forward to seeing his career continue to develop with Cardiff City".:

The poll at the bottom of the article shows that some are not so optimistic about the signing.

Three to one in favour is a pretty good endorsement, considering we know next to nothing about him........

An I the only one bemused by the fact that, considering its a highlights video, it shows him missing chances so routinely? One of them even for no apparent reason shows him being pulled down in the box when nowhere near the ball - how is that a highlight?
The kid can definetely score with his head though, that's definetely going to come in handy.

He's only played one full season of senior football, it's hard to find enough highlights

Maybe it's just me, but if I was a young football prodigy I'd rather my highlights videos to be half the size but show only my successes, then twice as long but show how much I hit the bar.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not taking away from the player or your article, I just found it strange.
