We shouldn't see him as world class potential at all imo, that's putting unnecessary pressure on him. There's no telling how he'll adapt to the league, new country etc yet.

I am not putting pressure. When we paid 40m for Sanchez, everyone saw & see him as a potential World class CB. Whether he will become one is up to him. But we have one of the best coaches in world to help him with that. Same applies to Malcom. He will come into a side that already has top quality attackers. So, he will take time to settle & compete for first XI. Atleast one good thing is he has been in Europe for 2 years now. He should be adapting far quicker than other South Americans who directly come over here

Jesus. But that's mostly because he was smashing goals in whilst Palmeiras were strolling to the title and he was also in the Brazil Olympics squad. Whereas Corinthians had lost Tite (coach) and were struggling to adapt (the new coach didn't last long). It wasn't long after when Malcom departed. He only played a couple of months of the serie a before he left for Bordeaux whereas Jesus remained until Xmas and finished the season.

It's fair to say had circumstances been different them Malcom may have been as well revered. Most ppl actually thought Gabriel Barbosa would be the breakout player but he doesnt have that steel or will that Malcom and Jesus have.

I honestly think Malcom will have a similar impact to what Jesus had.

Like by a landslide, or was it close at all?

No idea. How do you judge? Jesus was in the full Brazil side in 2016, played in the team that won the Olympics, was courted by Barca etc, scored 28 goals for Palmeiras when they won the title.

Another thing I would add is that before Jesus came on the scene, Malcom was the player most were excited about. The problem is Jesus came out of nowhere and was so consistent immediately that everyone kinda forgot about Malcom without taking into consideration the problems at Corinthians

Tottenham step up chase for Bordeaux forward Malcom

Tottenham are increasingly confident of winning the race to sign Bordeaux forward Malcom this month.

Press Association Sport understands Malcom, who has already scored seven goals in Ligue 1 this term, is keen to secure a Premier League move and wants to play in the Champions League.

But a deal is being discussed that would loan the 20-year-old back to Bordeaux, who are fighting relegation and reluctant to lose a key player mid-season.

It is understood Malcom is happy to see the campaign out with his current team. Bordeaux brought the then 18-year-old to Europe from Corinthians only two years ago.

Mauricio Pochettino would also struggle to include the Brazilian in his Champions League squad, which already boasts the full allocation of non-home grown players

I would imagine it would be more like keita at Liverpool than a loan back

As expected he is starting vs Nantes, the game isn't being televised in the UK but is elsewhere in the world. For those of you who have bt sport and no social life an hour long extended highlights of the match will be shown at 11pm on bt sport 2 or 3 (can't recall). As mentioned before Ko is at 4.

Edit - highlights on bt sport 3

Those reports that we haven’t bid is a well used spin doctoring media spin. We are in well advanced talks. Practically almost there :barefoot:

Believe who you want to believe! Media is normally, and deliberately so; 24-48 hours behind.

Enough said on Malcom for now :barefoot::censored:

Still looking extremely good

I very much doubt any team would bid unless they know it’ll get accepted these days unless been told categorically not for sale then bid to unsettle.

Yeah, so he’ll be really used to winning tight matches when we rock up to Old Trafford or Chavski? I’m talking about that minuscule ‘edge’. He may well have it though and will be able impart that on the rest of the team. Because right at the moment we haven’t quite got it. That also comes from success.
This always seems to be a red herring for me.

Stoke have the most players who have won the Champions League in the PL. does it help them?
