A terrible attitude is this guy's main attribute from all that I've heard about him. No idea how he plays.

I like signing free-agents though since there's almost always some sort of resale value so why not.

if he was good enough, dont you think our scouts would have mentioned it while watching thorgan hazard

There's good enough when paying for somebody.... and then there's 'good enough' for FREE (albeit small compensation payment)...

It's a no brainer - if he doesn't fit in he can be sold for a profit in 18-36 months...

looks tankish

[mediator 2,026]

He was impressive last season with Zulte. A real tank from midfield, played as DM - CDM.

His potential is tremendous

His attitude is correct on the field but he broke his contract with LOSC and then with Zulte the year after.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

Is it actually his attitude that's the problem, or is he simply another young player being manipulated by agents?

any player you would compare him to?

Yea he's a rock.

His positioning and defensive play in general was class at times last season. Has to work on some aspects, like his distribution, but on a free this would be excellent business.

[kellzfresh 7,229]

So he's a box to box, but can he spray some long passes?

[Stingray 9,441]

This would an absolute steal if a a free ...

This guy has real potential. (And a screw loose as well, lol)

[Hamilton 2,120]

Tought he was linked with Fulham?

[kellzfresh 7,229]

[magic weeds 446]

A team with Hulk, Lukaku and this guy must scare opponents.

How is his passing?

[Stats 7,056]

Very good prospect but we don't need to get every single prospect out there. I mean what is the point. He plays in the DM department and can play CB/RB and is very versatile but we are well covered. Very good and probably ahead of many we have now but what message are we sending out to Ake, Chalobah, RLC, Josh and many more if we get him. I think he is a Mourinho type of player and he would be a good signing for us but like I said I think we have a good flurry of youngsters coming through already.

Nice summary of him btw http://www.weaintgotnohistory.com/chelsea-fc-transfer-rumours-news/2013/7/24/4552368/chelsea-fc-profile-scouting-report-junior-malanda-transfer-rumor

How is his passing?

Medium good.

Also, we dont need to sign every talent. But this one seems to be coming along for free.

He might arguably have been more instrumental to Zulte Waregems tile challenge in belgium than Thorgan Hazard.

[LukakutoStamford 779]

5 million euro valuation for free what's not to like? He costs nothing to get and if he comes good like Yaya Toure he's worth 5-6x his current valuation. If not he was free
