Posted it on his thread in Other Football but he's technically on-loan so it's worth mentioning that Malen has scored 5 goals in his first 5 league games for Roma - first player to do that since Batistuta in 2000.

Fabrizio Romano says the loan fee was €2m and the obligation to buy is €25m in the summer. Roma qualifying for Europe (non-Conference cos it pays blose), and Malen appearing in 50% of the games from Jan to May triggers it.

He also says that we've retained a 10% sell-on clause.

I'm happy enough for Malen, he wasn't going to do it consistently at Premier League level in an Emery team. He definitely will score elsewhere as he is proving and he's a good player but sometimes you just have to do the deal at the right time.

Agree. £60 million for Watkins was exactly the deal we should have done last Jan, hey ho.

I don’t think that existed.

The Arse only went as high as £45m, didn't they?

I don't recall seeing anything above £40m which at the time was insulting.

Enzo has scored for the definitely-not-racist-because-they-had-a-black-player-in-the-sixties Benfica.

Winning 3-0.

Good lad. And Mourinho's comments this week about Vinicius were lamentable.

I was at the Bernabeu last night. My first time there. What a stadium! Enzo came on with about 5 mins left. I don’t think I saw him touch the ball. The game was lost by then.

Two assists for Tommi O’Reilley for Crewe as they comeback to lead v Tranmere, and an assist for Broggio as Falkirk lead 5-1.

I noticed he's 22: is he going to make it for Villa? - it seems to be now or never...

With the greatest will in the world you’d hope not. I wish him all the success, but if he makes it here I suspect it means we’ve dropped back a fair bit.
