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.
