Thomas Lemar was valued at circa £30-40 mil last January, it was 60-70+ come the Summer, and far more than that now. Long gone are the days clubs will allow star players to move on cheaply to Premier league clubs, and while there is without doubt a January premium put on a lot of players, the real superstar prospects will only increase as they continue to perform and the windows pass by.

Would this suggest we want this done ASAP, although it won't necessarily matter if he joins now or the summer. With their season effectively over, they may as well let us have him now :whistle:

Just seen the obligatory Youtube video.

Looks very exciting. Reminds me of Lennon a little bit. Except with a good shot on him and drifts inside more.

On the other hand, N'koudou looked pretty exciting on YouTube.

And so did njie.

Honestly the stambouli you tube clips looked pretty good too .

I'm 100% certain I could make an amazing sissoko highlight reel where he'd look like pogba deluxe

In other words, the so called January premium can be more than wiped out by waiting for the summer, no?

Oh another one from the French league - I'm not convinced from what I have seen on Malcom. Also his attitude is kinda worrying. But what the hell do i know :)

I hope this isn't a repeat of our ability to sign players from Ligue 1 who turn out to be not all that. E.g. GKN & Njie
He's nothing like these two. He's been highly rated since he broke into the Corinthians team and produced for them at 16. You can't say the same about the others

My dad looks useful on YouTube and he's a monkeyfuck at football

But he would probably get more game time with them if he stayed with them until the summer, and he would then get a full pre-season with us.

I'm not completely convinced myself but hes youtube-montages definitely looks better than N'koudou's and Nije's . He's trickery and technique seems a littler sharper and he's able to do longshots (and score goals). Think poch can turn him good.
