Bit worried about the footwear he was carrying. Less grip than the slippers Bailey has taken to wearing.

I was more concerned that he was wearing the R/Lg sock on his left foot. I did like his black jacket though, very smart.

The 1874 podcast did a feature on him today which is worth a listen.

I think tonight showed the need for a bit of fresh sharpness in attack. Hopefully he'll play well with Ollie or Jhon, or both

I'm excited we signed Dutch Malen.
Will add much-needed speed to the attack. He can also play all forward roles even as central striker, and I believe he will score 8 or more goals in all competitions by the conclusion of the season.

An astute signing and seems a methodical , quiet and studious type and will learn well as a student of Emery.
Malen will be looking to be ultra consistent. Its the next step from a good to great player.

I think the signing is much needed given Bailey has only scored once and Diaby left and Ramsey injured.

And on general goals no one in midfield has replaced the majestic Douglas Luiz. There's a  poor return of goals to starting games by Tielemans and  McGinn. Neither have scored in the league.
Onana 2  and Barkley 3  goals.

Now with Malen he  is eligible to participate in the Champions League once registered, therefore this is not an issue that he has already played for Dortmund this season.

Welcome Donyell.

When he scores Do hell!
Ironically he's actually a very quiet man!
Looking forward to seeing him in action.

I think he meant to type 'When he scores, Do yell!'

Thank you. I did.
Van Malen isn't available for todays tie for those wondering . Ineligible till the knock out rounds.

I think so and that's why I post such inclusive and insight.
We are all here to help inform each other.

Can new signings play in the play-off round?

Thank you.

On to West Ham.
Let's hope to see Malen have minutes in that one.

How was Malen? He had a shot after coming on but then it just seemed to be all Spam.

He was fine, but we were in our "keep it away from the forwards" mode for a lot of the second half.
