I will never understand why players would prefer to sit on the shelf of Barca’s stash of talent instead of play at a decent club where they can enjoy first team football
Malcolm has had like 2 appearances this whole year:mjlol:

I think they bought him in, to replace Dembele. But for whatever reason, they decided not to pull the trigger on that. And now Malcolm is the odd man out, unless Dembele/Coutinho do themselves a mischief.

Red, White, & Stonewashed Blue since '94

Don't really know anything about the guy. Just know he was a late add on after injuries. Probably and hopefully won't be getting called up to the national team anymore.

Would like to see Jonathan Amon get a chance. He's scoring goals in the Danish league which we all know to be a lower tier league, but he's still only 19.

Also I want to see Sargent get the start up top. He's raw and young, but he seems to have that "it" factor that most USMNT players don't.

Christian Pulisic still injured?

Yes, which was too bad, because the couple weeks leading up to the international break he and Mckennie were both scoring goals for their German clubs.

Stuff is crazy. It makes more sense to join the Barca's of the world after establishing yourself within a big club. At Roma, Malcom would have still gotten very competitive football, probably consistent first team play and UCL. Now he'll just rot on the bench or be used for CDR matches.

I mean look at Alcacer. Dude was Valencia's main man. The team was building around him and he was getting week in week out first team football. Went to Barca and was rotting on the bench. He's now moved to Dortmund and it's like a breath of fresh air.

Bigger isn't always better.

But hey, you gotta fight for what you want in this life, so I imagine Malcom thought he could have fought for a spot on the right wing
