Malcom

For me, CL is always the most important trophy.
And even though I like La Ligas and treble, I would sign right away:
Barca out of La liga race in October.
Barca not winning CDR in 2019.
Barca winning a CL in 2019'.

I know that is sounds slightly awkward: to accept being out of La liga race in October, for a CL win.
And it draws 100s of new questions like:
1. that would mean that we probably played like a crap for 10 Months
2. that probably means that EV should be fired since we played like a crap in La liga
3. that probably means that we didn't play beautiful football if we were out of La liga race in October

These are hard questions, but for me: I would sign a CL title in 2019 instead of La Liga and Cdr right away.

Well, thank fuck the players don't feel the same way - it would be dreary season upon dreary season.

It's high time we start to neglect the Copa in favor of ChL, but the league should never ever be down prioritized.

Malcolm is another version from Rafinha

Malcolm is another version from Rafinha

Just from the few highlights I've seen, he's absolutely nothing like Rafinha

 

[henias]

Dont think he's anything like Rafinha at all.

Given Valverde played Coutinho out of position and didn't even play Dembele when he'd recovered from injury .. I'm baffled as to why two talented youngsters like these have chosen Barca .. Money maybe ?

So you don't date that hot girl because another dude didn't manage to lay her?

He looks little bit better than rafinha..but lets see what he brings to barca

You've probably seen enough of his matches, no? Same type as Rafinha, identical! Good call.

Rabiot is a smokescreen for the real midfielder we will be targeting.

Aouar or Ndombele? Abidal can use his Lyon contacts.

I wonder if it’s a controller or a workhorse

Give us some “Devil’s Tranfer Centre” clues..

Aouar or Ndombele? Abidal can use his Lyon contacts.

Aouar has renewed his contract with Lyon a few weeks ago.

Thats true but players can still move. Stranger things have happened. We've not been extensively linked to them, just like Malcom out of the blue. It does seem like Abidal is pulling some strings.

As some said yesterday, then why was Monchi so surprised...
Why Bordeaux asked Roma to post a tweet how it is over?
Why his mom flew to Rome?

Ok, we were probably in contacts with Malcom, but these tweets now sound as if:
1. we never wanted Willian at all
2. we wanted Malcom all the time. And we were working on his transfer for full 40 days, lol.
3. this is all planned

While in reality, imo, it was probably like this:
1. we wanted Willian as a target no1. We were negotiating with Chelsea and Willian all the time.
2. we made contacts with Malcom and 2-3 other wingers as a plan B during that time, since we learned a lesson with Coutinho and Dembele saga last summer.
3. we cooled our interests for Malcom and other wingers and went "all in" for Willian in the last 10 days
4. when Roma started to close down on Malcom and when we didn't have time anymore, we made a 2-3 desperate last minute too-high offers for Willian.
5. when even desperate 75M bids were rejected, we turned to Malcom in the last moments, revived our interest from 10 days ago and signed him

One more time, imo, these tweets now sounds wrong and fake.
If Willian was a smokescreen, if we didn't want Willian at all, if Malcom was "our main wish from the day 1", why have we let him to agree terms with Roma, to arrange a medical at Roma, why Roma and Bordeaux announced a deal, why was his mom in Roma already, why was Malcom ready to enter a plain for Roma (and Roma's fans were waiting at the airport), why was Monchi so surprised?

Imo, MD is lying all the time and saving board's asses.
Whenever we sign a player, they will write: Arthur/Malcom/anyone had offers from all other big clubs, but they rejected all of them and wanted to play only for Barca.
A player was always our 1st choice and all other players were just a smokescreen.
When we are selling a player, MD will pump his price with fake interest from 10s of different EPL clubs.

In the end, not that it matters now, but Malcom probably wasn't our first choice, and these are news to please the fans and to make it look how the board is pulling the right moves all the time.
Again, not that buying Malcom is good/bad move, it is irrelevant now. But these stories are fake and full of lies, imo.
