He looks very raw but if he's free I don't see an issue with signing him and loaning him out.
Malcolm Ebiowei / signs for Palace

It doesn't really matter, if we sign him I'm gonna call him Eboue. Easier to remember.
Of all the players linked to us so far, he is the only signing I have confidence in signing. Let's not feck this up.
If it’s a free transfer and we want him, why the feck isn’t he a United player by now?
Getting Angelo Henriquez vibes with this one
It seems we're facing a lot of competition for him. Spurs, Newcastle, Brighton, Leeds, Palace and Fulham have been mentioned as interested clubs.
I remember I was excited as hell for him. Next Ruud Van Nistelrooy they said. Huge letdown.
I’m surprised you didn’t say Obertan or Zaha or Bellion. Why do you guys feel the need to be negative bringing up past transfers to put down current ones just like Di Maria and De Jong comparisons.
What a blast from the past! What the hell happened to him? Last thing I remember was him going on loan in Croatia and tearing it up, then we sold him, never to be heard of again - until someone named Sparky on the Internets mentioned him.
We're probably stuck in negotiations with Derby for a transfer fee on a player without a contract. If we can't get him ahead of those teams and with Rooney in the kids ear, I give up.
I do think compensation is due to a few clubs because of his age, so might be that.We're probably stuck in negotiations with Derby for a transfer fee on a player without a contract. If we can't get him ahead of those teams and with Rooney in the kids ear, I give up.
IF we already had a proper RW then all for this signing but we don't, also worrying he's not left footed which we desperately need
I’m getting more Zoran Tosic/ Adem Ljajic vibes tbh.
Probably trying to make an offer to Derby and taking their insistence that he’s not theirs to sell as a negotiation tactic
He is left footed.
Oooh good call
He actually seems nicely two footed. Mason replacement? From the highlights he seems a fair bit more physical and hardworking than Greenwood.
Thought someone said he wasn't, in which case apologies for my mistake
Manucho
Plays in the second division in Poland
Loves a nutmeg. Also a cheaper alternative to Antony?
Not sure if he’s ready to start for us on the back of a season at Derby whereas Antony is, if we’re looking at value signings then signing Januzaj on a free should be looked at as well as Ebiowei as Januzaj has picked his career up and looked good in Spain for Sociedad to the point he was linked with Barca a lot last season.
He reminds me of prime Martial(not the dull version that we have today) in terms of his technique and with how he controls the ball and hold and guard it.
Funny you should mention him...
I know it's a joke but it's wise to negotiate with Derby, it's not a free transfer. Fee will be set by tribunal as he is U-24 player leaving on free transfer.
Rooney might tell us if he is any good
Fantastic player, really like him (checks google for who he is)
Wow, didn't think he was 28 already, wasn't injuries what messed him up?
How about Pinyaev, how does the current situation change things?
I have no idea who he is, but right now just want any kind of signings.
I would even be happy if we get Lukaku back or some move like that.

Steve McLaren was technical director at Derby until very recently, most likely he pointed us in his direction.
Know nothing about him really, but strange a young rigght wigner with little experience and unproven when we already have spetn a fortune on two
Yeah true, probably he knows all there is to know.
Can only imagine how badly his name will get spelt on the cafe if we sign him.
He looks good from the clips. Wouldn’t be against signing him then loaning him in January.

Reminds me of when we signed David Bellion. My mum's friend knew a coach at Sunderland. One evening he came round to my house and told me that we were signing a future superstar from them. The rest is history...
Yeah much better to cut out the tribunal and agree on a price now. Like what Liverpool did with Carvalho.
How much would he cost?
