On the bench for Dortmund tonight.

Not close then.

We're going to be very short of wide players for Everton if Bailey picks up a knock tonight.

Who was the guy we were about to sign and get rid of Digne? It was a done deal to the point Digne was on a plane to France nearly, and they still played him and he got injured, so it fell through.

An Argentinian playing at Seville?  Marcos Acuña I reckon.  It appears he’s now at River Plate, so it’s hasn’t turned out too bad for him.

Yeah, that's him. I only mention him in reply to the idea Malen being on the bench last night means we're nowhere near a deal.

Not necessarily, from the bit I watched the commentators were saying there were a number of Dortmund kids making their debuts as they were so short of players, so it might have been a case of needs must.

We’ve apparently offered 21m now, they want 25m - doesn’t sounds like we’re too far away.

I’d imagine we’re waiting to close the Philogene deal to ensure we stay PSR compliant before committing the spend on Malen

Players shouldn't get their own thread until they're officially signed, IMO. Everything until then is speculation and we already have a thread for that.

I agree with this. It was always the way but we've let it slip of late.

I don’t mind it if a deal is agreed. But this, and others, have been premature of late.

Suffered from that ever since I was old enough to order a Kay’s catalogue from freefone.

In full agreement here.
