Malcom

I find it funny in that its a typically English name, which doesnt really fit an exotic south american attacking player.

Just as Tarkowski at Burnley is actually English! His grandfather was from Poland, but James Alan Tarkowski is born and raised in Manchester.

Is it not actually a Scottish name?

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

Possibly, I was thinking as much as a forename not surname. My dads a Malcolm, would seem odd having 30k people singing it to a Brazilian winger!

Was genuine question not a wind up, we had a king Malcolm once.

Just googled it, gaelic meaning follower of saint columba apparently.

Well you learn something new every day!

(and I certainly didnt take your question as a wind up)

Didn't Scotland introduce football to Brazil?

Did they? Can they bring it back please, we miss it.

North England?

North England?

It does seem to me to be a more northern English name, men in flat caps spring to mind for some reason, rather than just English.

Yeah it's definitely Scottish. Malcolm is the one who takes over as king at the end of Macbeth

Sky Italy say Goons are in for him now. Ooooh this could be like Baptista all over again.

That worked out a treat

And actually when Chelsea signed Willian it signalled the end of KdB' s career at Chelsea ...

Swings and roundabouts but I think making a quick purchase in the market to stop others succeeding can be detrimental

Yes he did fail to impress overall. Bit of a flop.

Just watched the obligatory youtube video, there was a lot of running at high speed, ruinning in to blind alleys and hitting the first defender with crosses. Not a lot to say yeah let's splash £45m on him.

Someone who played with him was on Radio 5 yesterday and said he's terribly one footed and a bit predictable after a while.

According to UOL, Malcom, who has scored seven Ligue 1 goals this season “prefers to join Arsenal over Tottenham. Both clubs have already met with his agents, but the Brazilian would rather ply his trade under the guidance of Arsène Wenger, if a deal was to be successfully negotiated.”
