Malcom

[Arlen Correa 161]

I think Malcom is better than William. He should never go to Barcelona though. He is not better than their other attacking players, his best position is in the RW and its pretty much the same position as Messi. He will always play out of position there.

Barca/Real Logic

They buy a player

he FAILS

they sell for much higher than they paid

 

Chelsea reality

We buy a player, they FAIL (or even better, just cannot break into starting lineup)

we sell at massive loss, even if the player goes on loan and plays to level we thought he would when we bought him

So there has been a LOT of hype over Malcom over the last what 2 years? Similar with Bailey.

Whats our thoughts on Malcom now as a player??

When we get a forward who decides to move and work you will see the difference with Jorginho, the same with a RW in place of Willian.

Runs in behind are the key to breaking down these teams who sit deep. We don't have full backs or wingers doing it, with that example it's easy to read what we do.

YES!!! Couldn't agree more!

I see that is where Pulisic is going to be good as he does like getting behind defenders.

Jorgi would have loved Schurrle cause he liked doing it too.

Wish we had a few that just tried to move into some sort of position for Jorgi to pass to. Stop all you moaning gits harping on about sideways and back passes!

Probably on his way to Spuds!

It would be crazy to see him there with us still having Willian.

Football transfer rumours: Tottenham to bring in Malcom from Barcelona?

Dont see why Spurs are after him. They spent 25m to sign Lucas Moura last January and Pochettino still rates Lamela, both play on the right.

Suppose at Barca, Messi is always on the right. Malcom at Bordeaux always played on the right.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Looks like Spuds are close to getting him looking at all the links there are.

[Unionjack 7,531]

Anyone know whats going on with Malcom?

He went for weeks as a none starter. 5 games playing less than 10 minutes.

Yet he starts against RM the only time Ive watched Barca/RM in ages and has an amazing game. Scores and gets MOTM.

Hes been on the bench ever since.

I know they aren't short of class but it does seem a waste of his talents.

When they were both in France, he and Fekir were often linked to us. My view was that I'd much prefer Malcolm of the two. I also believe that he, not Willian, was Barca's principle target for that position in summer 2018. People have pointed out that they're loaded with talent but, even so, I'd be surprised if they were prepared to give up on Malcolm so quickly.

If this season and Ousmane Dembele last season has shown me anything, is that these guys need time to adapt and grow into that Barca team. Dembele is the superior talent clearly but his first season was hugely inconsistent before he got injured. Malcom hasnt played a lot but when he has its been wee flashes of his ability. Hes nowhere near ready to start at a club like Barca but can grow into the team there. Roma would of been the more ideal move for him I feel.

Don't ask me for evidence, I don't have any, but my reading of the runes is that Roma were used by Barca and Malcolm's representatives as a stalking horse for their move.

I dont understand why not.

He was a animal against RM.

Why not both? Their not the same positions and Fekir would be just what we need here.
