I hope a reporter asks him what went wrong with Sinik? Did Rosie not like the look of him, was it an issue with settling? and also if it is a requirement to make the loan permanent in the summer and if so what is the structure of the deal?
 
Just on Tufan he’s class I like him I have one reservation that sometimes he seems to watch the game going on around him , yet 20 secs later he’ll chase a man down , he’s strong and not slow . I think we just want
to see him show effort and focus right through the match - my get out for him would be that the quality of touch and movement around him means he can’t be as effective . or the system is not dynamic enough ?
 
Hope he is better than other one footed players like Puskas and Messi.<laugh>

Is Messi one footed? He's no Bobby Charlton but he can use his right.

I joke about it but from the highlights Malcolm really strains to use his left when it would be much easier to use the right foot. For pretty basic stuff too.

Not saying he won't be a player but I'm also not getting why his stock is so high.

Probably more appropriate to ask Tan the business questions wouldn't you think?

I think those moments he switches off is the single reason he doesn't start, as you say he's shown the fitness and physicality to be able to do well and at times has looked like the best player on the park in the deeper mid position. Im guessing Rosie just see's him in the wrong area of the pitch too often when we are defending and a main priority over the last 2 months was to become more solid.

I think that’s his dribbling style. He goes both ways but usually ends up on his right. The best right wingers in the world are all left footed at the minute. Salah, Saka and so on.

Honestly, I'm right behind him and he brings something we're missing. It's just really basic stuff though where he'll strain to use the outside of his left foot instead of his right. I was no pro but I could use my wrong foot to make a pass.

He has the talent though.

Someone on here said Messi one footed he couldn’t be considered a great. <laugh>Which is why I wrote that.
