Roma just agreed a deal for Marlen from Villa
I would have taken him for Everton on the same deal
He would have been a definite upgrade on what we have.
{Ed025's Note - i think so too BAZ..

It's always a worry that the Freidkin group will priorities Roma over us Ed025.
{Ed025's Note - i was hoping that with the profile of the Premier league that we were going to be the top of their list Mike...especially with the new ground, but we dont really know if Malen was even on our clubs radar mate..

Or whether Villa would sell to another Prem club?
{Ed025's Note - that is a fair point JB..

Does it work like that in multi club ownership? Especially with transfers etc? I guess any transfer 1 club makes will have the fans of the other club making comments.

In that case Roma could buy him and then pass him on to us!
