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

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

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.
