Thread | Derek Cornelius

My team in Sweden is Malmö FF and I follow them nearly as much as ITFC. Now I am normally torn when it comes to suggestion players from one of my teams to another, BUT I will have to make an exception here.
Malmö is about to sell their top-defender Derek Cornelius (Canadian international) to Olympic Marseille (while Lyon, Brest and FC Copenhagen among others are also interested). The supposed price seems to be about 4 million Euros. IF we are in the market for another defender this is the real deal. To say he is a light version of Van Dyke would be to devalue his capacity - he is obviously not at Van Dykes level but he has a lot of Van Dyke about him - big, strong, fast and good on the ball. He is by margin overshadowing Pontus Jansson as CB in Malmö and Pontus was doing alright in the PL only last year. Anyway, the downside of this is that he is on the left side where we just brought in Greaves.
And while I am at it. Malmö is also about to sell Sebastion Nanasi. Hot prospect as leftsides attacker or as a number 10, would be great in the Broadhead role. He is considered the next Emil Forsberg by many, and share many attributes with him.
So; as I wrote, I donÂŽt like to suggest my teams to buy from eachother, but as both those gems could be lost to other clubs I feel this is the right time to do so. |
