Club is working in the shadows and feeding the media lies.

FFS, incredible manipulation of the media. Elite level. We are masters of the dark arts.


im sorry but if we were truly working on a deal since 2 weeks bordeaux and roma wouldnt have announced an agreement 24 hours ago.. lets not kid ourselves. truth of the matter is that our transfer committee is relying heavily on impulses and improvisation and lighly on planning. hope this deal works though.

It doesnt mean Barca have been working on a deal for two weeks and got it done just in time.

But it does mean Barca were far more aware of Malcolm than a lot would like it to be just some last minute panic punt.

Sounds implausible that we targeted him all along as Monchi does sound angry.
Think it was a last minute thing.

Probably our alternative but I doubt we made any contact until Roma semi confirmed it for 36m. Saw the opportunity and capitalized on it. We were ready to pay 60m for Willian so when Chelsea rejected Barca Malcom bid was probably made. All speculation obviously. One thing is clear Barca wanted a winger since the beginning of the window. But is Malcom approved by Valverde? We will never know.

Well to be fair it is possible we did meet with his agents a couple of weeks ago but weren't sure yet to progress as we were looking at Willian first and Malcom and his agent weren't willing to wait around as Roma were interested in him the most.

It was all agreed so even if we met his agents some weeks ago it wasn't serious. Back then we probably decided to go for Willian as our wing signing and when it got clear Chelsea doesn't lower their price we discarded him and hijacked Malcom last minute. We wouldn't do this if the player wasn't already in our focus so it makes sense he was on our list before.

Kid looks like a Douglas Costa clone, I'll take him

Gus Poyet (Bordeaux coach) just made that comparison, at least in term of playing style.

"He is a right wing player, with a very good individual play, with a very good shot... I could compare him to Douglas Costa, but it is difficult to compare him to anyone else.

Suddenly got some pace and dribbling ability to bring off the bench too, and in some games start as well with both Malcom and Dembele at each wing.

Not bad.

Got a wicked long shot too.

If we can mould Dembele to a player that uses his pace to get in behind from the LW and take on the last player 1v1 then it could be great.

Definitely feeling a bit emotional seeing this kid sign for his dream club.
