    Cardiff selling Cornelius back to FC København for £ 2.5 millions. £ 5million profit in 6 months, and getting our favorite striker back.

    Can't get the smile off my face: I was hoping this would happen after their relegation, but now: wow - lost for words...

    Hopefully the youngster refuses to give up his "affordable" 45k a week wages, imagine that on the shoulders of a Championship club.

    WHO cares - with this kind of profit he might even get a pay-rise. He's a clever obe though: exchanging time on the pitch and proper Development in a Club where he's suppurted for a pay check. He'll make his big-money-move in 2-3 seasons, to a top-Club where he'll be properly valued and used aswell...

    Sorry dude, but as a Jack I can only hope he refuses to move and continues the sap the cash from Tans wallet because the club itself can't afford him next season.

    Well ,never saw that coming ,good luck with your "new" signing Mikra. too much too soon and with that price tag perhaps a bit unfair ,but all ends well ,just one unanswered question ,would he have been better than Bony :grin:

    Cardiff are apparently paying off 75% of his contract aswell. 4 and a half years at 45k per week... about 8mil? Ouch! not to mention the fee they already payed for him.

    Surely - FC København is a Club with much higher status than Cardiff...

    I wonder what changed little ollies opinion then

    Google translate with a few minor corrections:

    So glad WAS Solskjaer for Cornelius

    - He can reach as far as he possibly want, said Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 15 months ago about Andreas Cornelius - after just one month's cooperation in Cardiff to Norwegian no longer use 'Corner'

    Cardiff manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who made more than 350 first team appearances for Manchester United, was more than thrilled by Andreas Cornelius, when the young FC Copenhagen bomber had lowered Molde in Europe League group stage in September 2012.

    To Ekstra Bladet Solskjær did not hide the fact that he saw a great future star in Cornelius, according to the Norwegian could reach Europe's absolute football top.

    - He has speed. He has technique. And I think obviously he's very good in the air. He can reach as far as he possibly want, said Solskjaer, who had taken careful note of Cornelius a half year earlier, when both FC Copenhagen and Molde was at a training camp in Southern Europe.

    Solskjaer thought Cornelius was so good that the young Dane even eventually could end up in a big club like Manchester United.

    - It is definitely a possibility. He has the qualities to play at the top level if he continues his development. - See more at: http://planetswans.fansnetwork.co.uk/forum/101277/page:2#sthash.77WuyBUP.dpuf

    What makes it even funnier is, not only will they sell him back at a £5 million loss, but as Copenhagen could never take on his wages, the word is, Cardiff will need to pay him off 70% of his remaining wages (just 7 months into a 5 year deal on £45k a week).

    SO ITS ACTUALLY AROUND A £13 MILLION LOSS :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Question is how they can throw this player away, without ever letting him get a fair chance on the pitch - and replacing him with Kenwyne Jones...
