Probably because most saw him play against us and he was extremely sharp.
And that was probably us at our best and most beastly too

Reminds me that Nike (or Adidas?) advertising campaign where they timed players running between cones and then with the ball. Somehow, David Bentley was quicker with the ball.

to me to beat bus parkers you need quick and purposeful ball movers, either dribbling or with pass with clever movement. Think malcom has both in his locker and would be the perfect fit for our squad.
Still won't get my hopes up until I see something official.
Yeah I said about Malcom looking most similar to Lamela who isn't always great against bus parkers. The key to him is what's his final pass like in congested matches, I'm guessing he's not had that problem much at Bordeux this season
I completely agree. But spending 35m on what you just described doesn't seem in line with our transfer policy. Maybe that price is just a reality of the market and guaranteeing he's in a Tottenham shirt for a full preseason, but what's that actually worth? That's really my only hesitation. Other than that, can't wait for him to be introduced at Stamford Bridge this weekend.

We literally just done the same with Sanchez tbf
You're right. Don't know why I thought about it differently about an attacking player, but I stand corrected.

Tottenham eye deal for Bordeaux winger Malcom - sources
LONDON -- Tottenham are interested in signing Bordeaux's Brazilian winger Malcom, sources have told ESPN FC.
The 20-year-old's representatives have held talks with both Spurs and their north London rivals Arsenal this month but the Gunners are no longer interested in a deal, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang of Borussia Dortmund and Manchester United's Henrikh Mkhitaryan now both targets to replace the departing Alexis Sanchez.
A source close to Spurs told ESPN FC that the club remain unlikely to add players to the squad this month but Malcolm could sign in January and join in the summer, leaving him free to help Bordeaux's Ligue 1 relegation battle for the remainder of the season.
"Maybe we need to sign players in January and bring them in six months before," Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino said in December. "If not, we're going to compete in the same period as City, [Manchester] United, Liverpool and Chelsea -- and we're going to struggle to bring in the players we want."
Pochettino is a big fan of Malcom, who could cost up to €40 million up-front with a further €10m in add-ons, while the player is also reportedly attracted to the idea of working with the Argentine.
Spurs have allowed wingers Georges-Kevin N'Koudou and Marcus Edwards to leave the club on loan for Burnley and Norwich City respectively this month.

Lamela has the skill, but zero acceleration to beat his man consistently.
That doesn’t seem a problem for Malcom. In fact that seems to be his biggest asset.

So if this happens is this going to be a loan back deal or a he will join us on July 1 deal? Like Keita for Liverpool. Additionally, if everything is signed is something we would announce this window? Think the announcement would prove a big boost for the squad and fans.

The squad will know about it regardless.
