Donyell Malen

[Tuscans]

According to RAWK he's absolutely shite, it's a crazy fee, and they can't see what the thinking is to use PSR headroom on him.

Makes me hope he succeeds more than ever now, so that it bears testament to Unai's genius.

I imagine they're all posting about how shite Zubimendi is now he's off to Arsenal.

Not really.
- "Jorginho almost definitely and Partey perhaps leaving in the summer, we can say what we want but it's a great signing for them for the summer. A pivot of Rice and Zubimendi for them, allowing Rice to be the 8 rather than the 6 will free him up and will make them better. "
- "I think it's a perfect signing for them, especially with Partey and Jorginho leaving. They obviously have other issues, but that sorts their midfield, they can now concentrate on wingers and forwards."
- "All things considered that’s a really good signing."

2 faced bastards.

Unai Emery confirms Donyell Malen is close to joining, with Jaden Philogene departing: "In case he (Malen) signs for us, it’s close, one player has to leave and the player close to leaving is Jaden Philogene."

Sounds like business will be limited if we're still in the 1 in 1 out world though. Assume any rb/rcb is dependent on Carlos leaving too, which some reports suggested that was on shaky ground now

For sure.  only those players heavily linked will come in if carlos  and philogene  go

The question is, are we limited to 1in 1out because of finances or because of squad space. I suspect it's both but I do wonder if Barry might be kept around to cover for the latter.

[London Villan]

Barry couldn't be any worse than Philogene has been.

This.

[Drummond]

Philogene hasn't worked out in the way we'd hope, Barry is unlikely to be good enough for the Premier League yet, he's had a good few months at League One level and that's it so far.

He’s signed
