Can we not swap him back for Tammy...

Fifth goal in ten appearances for Ben Broggio yesterday. Good goal as well.

Yeah, it was a tidy finish. Hopefully he gets a hat-trick on Weds. night.

You want Celtic to win the league again with him in charge? Have a Heart.

Donyell Malen joining Roma on loan from Aston Villa has arguably been the best January signing since Fiorentina borrowed Mohamed Salah from Chelsea a little over a decade ago.

He is a late contender for Serie A MVP and has a slim chance of being Capocannoniere (Serie A’s top scorer) despite being in the league for less than four months.

For context, no one has been as prolific as Malen in the history of midwinter transfers: not even Mario Balotelli when he left Manchester City for Milan in 2013.

Unreal to let him go.

Serie A defenders ain't what they used to be.

Louie Barry scored in last night's Stockport win; next, Wembley.

Great run and finish too. Let out a lot of frustration in his celebrarion, it's been a difficult period for him with injuries.

Weirdly, though he struggled with his Ch'ship loan at Hull, Stockport might now be in that division next season and he could thrive as he seems to be at a club that suits him. Another year-loan, hoping he does well and then we sell him for good with a sell-on clause?

County's record transfer is about £1m and he's got to be worth more than that.

He's 23 in the summer, I hope we let him go now for something reasonable so he can settle somewhere. He can't have long left on his contract, either.

Have Stockport always been called the Hatters?  I thought Luton owned that nickname.

[eamonn]

That's what you took from the article? What about lil' Louie's welfare, don't you care?

Decent article, it seems a million years since he scored that goal against Liverpool and Klopp was calling him a little Jamie Vardy.  Whether we make anything substantial from him, or not, I hope he gets the chance to play Championship football next season. 

Wherever he goes, I hope we get a decent sell-on, having learned from Finn Azaz, that players can still improve and step up after their 23rd birthday.

No mention of the injury problems that he's faced, which I think undervalues his journey ...

Malen again yesterday.
