A bit like Lamela came in as Bale's replacement and people thought he was the type to speed through defences and strike from distance, whereas in reality he's more of a playmaker.
Exactly like that. I think he would be a good buy a fantastic buy if he realises his potential. I just think we would/will need another AM/WF who is capable of dribbling past players in tight spaces. But that's someone I have wanted for years to help brake down park the bus teams.

think that player is incredible hard to find, but if anyone it could be our very own Marcus Edwards if he can prove himself at Norwich. He's got that Hazard low center of gravity close control dribbling style that we are in need of.

Gus Poyet has just been appointed at Bordeaux. Hope he's still on good terms with us.

Push for a deal to be done so he can spend some money.

great comparison, and Imo thats exactly what we need in the squad more players that can play the final pass for the likes of Kane, Alli and Son to finish.

Plus I think he's more naturally athletic than Eriksen so it should be harder for him to be marked out of big games.

He may be quicker than eriksen but eriksen is a very good athlete, covers a hell of a lot of ground, about three quarters of the way through last season a stat came out saying he’d covered the most ground in the league

Let’s hope so new managers always want to bring their own players

I imagine Poyet will want to keep his best player and will advice him to stay where he is, start every game in a league he knows and try and force his way into the Brazilian squad for the WC.
Malcom would do well to hang around and learn what he can in 6 months from his vastly experienced fellow South American manager.

If we sign him and loan him back they get the benefit of him being there until the end of the season and money to spend too

For me he’s more coutinho than mane if that makes sense

I can see what you mean in that he seems more creative then you'd expect but I also think he's way faster, stronger and more agile than coutinho

Some of the clip of him dribbling in this video ,from like 1:50 onwards, are more like mane and things I've never seen coutinho do

I think he's kind of a mix and will be boss for us, I don't think poch was exaggerating when he said he'll make him the best in he world

This kid is everything we need and have been missing in our attack. He might need to adapt to the league, but when he does he's gonna be something else. Need to secure him at all costs this window, as I feel he'll be out of our price range in the summer

Though for them he could possibly go for more in the summer and for him, if he waits, he'll be sure of going to a CL side.

Cor, let’s hope you never get a job as part of our Transfer Committee...

You miss my point, i'm trying to look at this from Bordeaux's and Malcom's point of view. Catch up.
Fair enough but I doubt the Bordeaux point of view is anything more than getting the most Premier League Pounds as possible. And the same goes for Malcolm’s entourage...as with the majority of players.

yes which is a testament to Eriksen's commitment to the game for him to put in the work that gives him his high stamina. I dont mean it as a knock on Eriksen but his lack of natural power and acceleration let's him get marked out of big games, and I just think Malcom could have the extra bit in him that allows him to make a difference in the big games.
