Barca want De Jong but need to offload Malcom first. So in a way if we get Malcom chances are we miss out on De Jong. Although I dont think we hold much hope of De Jong anyway because it seems to be PSG or Barca for him. This for me is the best player possibly available to us in this window.

I would do this one if we could loan first but I feel Barca would insist on a purchase in the summer (like they're asking for with D.Suarez). It's definitely a bit of a risk but considering our previous interest in him maybe we should make it happen. I would personally take a Malcom in place of Llorente and play a Son/Moura up top instead. I dont think the long ball into Llorente suits us at all anyway. Get another quality player with the ball at his feet.

I'm not entirely sure what his best position is yet. He comes on as a wide attacker for Barca but doesn't really have great pace. He seems like he would be better suited to a more central attacking role like Lamela really. That's why I think he would work well for us. If Kane is out Son plays up top, if Son is also out play Moura there. Use the pace up top and have players like Alli, Lamela, Malcom playing between the lines with Eriksen and Winks pulling strings.
So what you're saying is that we'd be better with Malcom in the middle?


I know, I know! but that's what he said.:cautious:

Only a guess, but unless it was loan to buy he would probably turn it down, get the impression Poch just isn't a fan of loans ...

(this doesn't excuse anything and I am not saying I am in agreement, just you know ... Infact I don't even know, fuck it)

I don't believe that but just suppose there was anything in it, we take him on loan, he's no good to us this season, Poch works on him so he is good enough come summer and he goes back to Barcelona a better player. Why would we want to improve a Barcelona player at our expense?

I don't know why but it seems that the Sun has been relatively reliable regarding our transfer news in recent years

I would think Poch has many contacts in Barca telling him no!. Plus the loan business.

We bought Lucas. We dont need him. The last thing we need is another mediocore winger.

Thats because Rose was in there complaining we've done fuck all.

Well at least he doesn't have to google obscure names anymore since we've stopped signing players altogether.
