An agreement between AS Roma and Aston Villa for a loan deal has been agreed for Donyell Malen.
The financial details of a potential deal for the Dutchman are not yet known and it remains to be seen if he will make a loan or a permanent move.

Accounting & PSR?
We aren’t in a position to say no to a profit
This feels like some kind of “Please keep Bailey” plea to Roma
Seems like an awful deal, that might even get worse if they don’t end up buying.
We’re in too good a position and we’re getting too much out of him. Surely. Aren’t we?
Ill miss The Don, scored some bangers. Shame about these shitty rules, he could have been a cult Villan.
Big wages for a squad player
Source OP?
Option to buy? F off.
Cult hero but unfortunately seems like a square peg in a round hole for Emery. His quality is not in doubt.
He’s neither an out and winger or a solid, all-round Watkins Mark2 Centre forward.
To hell with this. Completely sickened. Best case scenario is loan
I have never questioned Unai Emery’s decisions and I won’t start now.
Club is in the best hands it’s ever been
Oh man, I’ll be gutted if this is true. He’s been great for us.
This sucks, I really liked him and his style.
Hopefully Emery has a move up his sleeve as otherwise this is looking pretty fucking stupid.
Won’t be happening unless it’s required to do some incoming(s) that Emery believes will make us better, so all depends what they are.
PSR is bunch of wank! Why are we finishing 6th, 4th, CL quarter finalists, now 3rd in the league in consecutive seasons and having to ship off our stars.
Donny is a game changer, electric player with an eye for goal. Fuck this
Seemed like a great sub to bring on to bring some pace at tired defenders. Must have a replacement lined up
If it’s true, I’m gonna miss him so much. Hopefully we get another Asensio type move before long.
Would assume we need his wages off the books to sign Gallagher and/or Abraham. If they believe Abraham will be a backup 9, then you don’t pay Malen 130k to be 3rd choice striker and Buendia/McGinn/Guessand are all preferred I guess in some RM/RW role
Not happy with this as I always liked him, but I assume this is for SCR so I suppose it’s the best option. It does feel like we keep making our squad weaker though

Have we not learned anything from these loans with no obligation? Should have been Guessand not Malen, Malen is actually decent. This is madness
He has been a huge bright spot in our turnaround since the first 5 games of the season. He probably feels he needs to do more games to be starting for the Dutch at the World Cup
We’ve signed Alysson to play on the RW, likelihood is that Guessand will now play up front where he was more effective in the french league.
There has to be some link between this and our rumoured interest in (Roma striker) Tammy Abraham.
Sad, will miss him
