Donyell Malen

[Dave]

Lovely. Quite excited about this one. A buddy for Maatsen, someone to push Bailey a bit harder and a genuine third option at centre-forward if we need one.

What's not to like?

And surely a clear upgrade on Philogene

Donyell Malen to Aston Villa — total agreement reached! Fee is €25m + €5m add-ons. DONE

Tap-in merchant Romano reporting it as €23m plus €3m add-ons fee. Which seems like good value to me.

Aston Villa agree deal to sign Donyell Malen from BVB, here we go!

Agreement reached with Borussia Dortmund for €23m plus €3m add-ons fee.

Medical and formal steps to follow soon to seal the deal.

Total agreement also with player, as

Percy (not me) reckons £18m + add ons. That seems less than €25m, though I haven’t checked exchange rates.

Need to get business done quickly I reckon, as I’m predicting a run on the pound soon.

EDIT: just seen the €23m posts above. That’s obviously closer to Percy’s view.

Maybe he's quoting in GBP?

Edit, just seen Percy say that Percy says it's £18m GBP

wait for the Stretch !!! 

ISONTP used to be a principle on here  . Anyway if that happens, hoping he can be a real asset to us, as I get it Emery seems to have wanted him for some time and also seems to be held in high regard by the Dutch with his involvement in the national team so - yes, I belive. About his involvement in the national team last international championship (last summer?) to me he didnt look to get the chance to shine - that was a very dire and tactical Dutch team under the former defender Koman.

It is, £21 Million at today's rate €1.19/£.  If we got it done early Jan we'd have saved nearly a million!

Apologies for the confusion mate.

So the run (on the pound) has started already?

[Demitri_C]

Great news !

You would imagine will make his debut  against  former club arsenal 👀

[Dave]

If we sign him for actual millions of pounds less than Ipswich are giving us for Philogene that feels slightly ridiculous.

[Louzie0]

According to a report I’ve just ready his bags are packed.

I think you'll find my whinging about the thread has been the clincher.

I've never ever heard you whinge before CD.

Hurray!!!

Looking good in the shirt; listening for his song.

Indeed - would show the insanity of the “Premier League tax”, albeit at least we’re benefiting.
