Tammy in pure playing ability terms is an okish back up. If he’s on high wages it’s a ridiculous signing.

Got a whiff of cutting our nose off to spite the face.

Move proven adequate stand in on to bring in adequate has been stand in. Having said that, if Emery's seen something in his play then who are we to argue.

Needs to get it right now though. The Monchi umbrella is no longer there to guard him from transfer mistakes.

Malen wants to go to get more minutes on the pitch.

No real guarantee he gets more at Roma, he's been getting plenty of minutes with us across all comps. Wants to play more as a 9 but Emery does see it. I'm on Emery's side for this one. Recruitment at the top end of the pitch has been abysmal since Rogers came in. Can't afford another dud.

He’s been stuck in the Belfry for years, poor bloke

No one. It's just picking up some fresh andouillettes for the BMH canteen.

Malen is on a plane with the kid from Marseille. Wonder if the Villa plane was simply dropping him in Lyon.

However, if it wants to smuggle Malick Fofana back I would be pleasantly surprised.
