Welcome Malcom. I suppose he'll take #7 since it's vacant.

No idea apart from Monchi wanted him, and he is young so it looks like a decent deal?

No idea either as yesterday was the first time I've ever heard of him but I'm pretty sure he'll have no trouble benching Meltbele.

So read he is looking to leave and they club wanna sell him too, Valverde also doesnt favour him. I feel hes been quite unfairly given too little chances, looks a player with good qualities we could use as an alternative attacking option. Hardly saw him until those Real games where he impresses, then the latest was the B team which was poor, but so was everyone else. I guess we just have to sell to recoup some money back for our purchases this summer.

So what does everyone think?

He's not bad and improved given the few chances he got, but frankly not good enough for Barcelona.

Should have gone to Roma instead.

I like him as a backup, given we really have no natural wingers besides Demeble to serve in backup roles in the event anyone gets injured. Given his cost, age and his steady improvement I'd love to at the least give him another season

I fully understand if he wants to leave to be a starter elsewhere though.

He's a mediocre sub, won't be missed. There's hundreds of wingers like him.

Clearly overstated....

I would not mind keeping him if he likes to stay at the bench.

I liked him from whatever he played as a subs. Given the age i dont mind that he doing a bench job. But it seems he is looking out.
