Donyell Malen

We pay our transfer fees with gold doubloons to avoid exchange rate fluctuation.

I wonder what we store them in.

judging by Utube  ( I KNOW) looks like he plays across the front a lot more than Bailey and looks a lot stronger

I think Bailey went down four times on Friday night in the first half...he tests the patience.

You just wonder how robust he is .  I want him on a calcium and protein  drip , not sure how he survives out there

It's probably Eagle shaped so we can drop the bullion off as we swoop in.

"Premier League Tax" might be playing a part but it's also the difference between Malen having 18months left on his contract compared to 4 1/2 years for Philogene.

To be honest I would expect there being an inverse impact on value when you’ve got that long left on your deal - if the club clearly aren’t desperate to keep you.

I don't think we're desperate to sell him either and the same team were offering only a couple of million less in the summer. That said I was mostly commenting in the fact that this is the last window where Dortmund can really hold out for a decent fee. If he was playing every game they might decide to hold out and get what they can in the summer but if they're trying to get any value out of him then this is their last realistic chance.

Villa v dortmund quarters will be good

Fabrizio saying it’s all done bar the medical. Clubs have agreed and player has agreed.

Squad for Saturday I guess

 An inconsistently brilliant winger, apparently. Par for the course with most wingers TBF.

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.

Makes me even more confident that he'll be decent.

I'm amazed anyone would give a fuck what they think.

why are they referenced ?

Is it because they are generally  very knowledgeable about Football along with being funny ?

What is RAWK ?

Is that a Liverpool forum? Why would they care?
