With Malen almost departed, I suspect we will soon reveal our hand on his replacement. 

They wouldn’t take this risk unless they have a notable replacement lined up imo.  The finances cannot be that bad.

We didn't let Danny Ings go without a replacement. But circumstances a bit different this time for sure, chasing CL football and going deep in two cup competitions.

Keane must* have spurts of excellence to convince big clubs to sign him, then periods of complete anonymity follow like at Everton.

*I’ve not followed his career, how frequent are these, or is he still living off his wonderkid status?

wasn’t he a non entity at Everton ?

Complete flop. Balotelli like character from memory.

Looks like he scored 20 odd goals in Serie A last season and still gets regular starts for Italy

Still not keen mind

These financial restrictions are a pain in the arse but I also think it has some advantages for us:

1) We probably have the most settled squad in the league.
2) Continuity can be bliss.
3) After his Pepe blunder, Unai probably prefers to buy a player for 10 to 20 million who he can develope/mould into our style of play and become a 70 million player. A player bought for 70 million is probably less adaptable.
4) Harmony in the changing room. No mercenaries flashing the cash.
5) Without restrictions, Newcastle would probably clean up.

Always look on the bright side of life,  di da,di da di da di da.

Kean was shit in the Premier League.

In my view, failed the interview.
