Jewel Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Malen did not impress me in the recent Euros. Seems like another workhorse type player which we do not need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 6 minutes ago, joeyt said: Wonder if it spells a change of formation for Villa? He usually plays wide left doesn't he or up front? Emery usually plays a narrow midfield so not sure where he'll fit in their current system if he's to be a starter edit: looks like he's predominantly right winger. Sure he played on the left versus us Think in the Villa setup he can go on the right or on the left, and can even play upfront too. Can just see the through balls to him from Tielemans already.

Never really seemed to settle into an established role in the Dortmund team. I think he's such a good finisher when he's on it. So quick and comfortable on the ball too. For that fee can't see them having any regrets whatsoever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’ll be discarded by them come end of season. Has no spot in their team, just signing him because they’re desperate and Bailey hasn’t hit previous heights.

Sibierski Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 They’ve got Bailey, Rodgers, Buendia, Philogene already for wide areas. Only because Emery has gone cold on three of them he wants someone new. It’s proper short term thinking. Only in summer Matseen and Barkley were lauded as astute business, and both of those aren’t favoured by Emery either. Only positive of the signing is they’ll get most of fee back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCormick Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Malen’s got so much talent; can’t work out whether his mad inconsistency is a system issue or a mental one. Either way for 20 odd million, that’d be a great signing for them, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Even if the deal doesn’t work out, seems a good price for Villa to take a punt on. You will surely be able to recoup most of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 Fiorentina are pushing to sign Liverpool winger Federico Chiesa in January, reports Italian website TuttoMercatoWeb. 27-year-old Chiesa began his career in Florence before leaving in 2022, and the outlet claims his former club are attempting to work out whether they can come to an arrangement over an affordable loan deal. It adds Liverpool currently pay the Italy forward €7m (£5.8m) a year, which would be out of reach for the Serie A side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Emery likes him then he’ll be good player in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
