It will be interesting how we play him. Rogers seems to be the free roaming second striker. The plus point with Malen seems to be he can play either wing (although preferably the right), but I do wonder how much of not getting to the byline enough is Bailey's lack of whatever and how much seems to be orders.
In terms of pace is this Guy fast like Diaby
An inconsistently brilliant winger, apparently. Par for the course with most wingers TBF.

That’s not conducive for any winger. Malen might not suffer from 1) and 2) but I think he will be stifled by 3) unless we improve and use both flanks better.
I knew nothing about him. Watched a you tube vid of him scoring goals, good goals and good interplay. Then more goals. I actually got fed up of watching his goals, can you imagine?

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.
