Expand Heard that about Mbeumo not too long ago on here. When I see what both Mbeumo and Wissa at Brentford are able to do in the Prem, it's hard to envisage Malen not being a major threat. Very similar sort of profile. Edited January 11 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I think all he really does is score goals from wide. And that's like ten a penny in Germany. His defensive and possession stats are fucking woeful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His defensive and possession stats are fucking woeful. Expand Yeah, Malen is more of a wide forward. He would essentially provide the pace and runs in behind Murphy currently does, but he is a significantly better dribbler and finisher. He also gets to the byline for cutbacks more. He is also better technically all around. I haven't paid enough attention to his work rate, so can't really argue on that. Possession wise his numbers are better than the likes of Mbeumo, Semenyo and Elanga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

M1tche Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Madueke just doesn't seem like and is signing tbh. I'd take him for the right price, but for 50-60, million I'd want someone with a higher ceiling. Right now I'm not even sure if he's a floor raiser let alone a ceiling raiser. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
