Donyell Malen

We need better than Malen. He will want more than he gets but he's not good enough to get it with us.

That might well be true, but at the same time he’s having a very useful season and is making an impact. There is a balance between getting on where we want to be and what we need in the immediate to medium term. If there is a higher quality player we can get in then fine, but there’s still an element of gamble to that.

I think he’s a good player, but he’s an expensive impact sub at the moment.

I think key here is that he’s a good player settled in the squad and on the pitch. Selling him and not replacing with a ‘Sure thing’ midway through a title race, is a massive risk.

There has to be a replacement coming in or we wouldn't be selling.

PSR again. PSR again. PSR again, PSR again, PSR again.

According to reports in Italy we're only asking €18m (£15.6m). We must be skint and desperate if true.

£24 million is the latest according to BBC football gossip

If he IS to go to Roma, and Tammy is heading back this way FROM Roma, I wonder if there will be some PSR jiggery pokery going on a la Iroegbunam and Dobbin? Where their respective values are slightly inflated so both clubs get a short term boost the finances?  Obviously it has to be within reason, but a few extra million for each of them might help both parties.

Isn't Ornstein suggesting it isn't happening ?

[eamonn]

UEFA are wise to that shit now after a few of us tried it on, aren't they?

Won’t get past UEFA. Rumour is we had a deal lined up for Osula at Newcastle at the end of the window but uefa said they’d remove the Ramsey revenue as it was essentially a swap deal (even though the transfers would have been weeks apart).
