Well, yeah, but don’t forget the bikini beach pic too!
Peeps are just discussing the prospect of signing him....... Who knows if it's a goer or not.
We'll see.
Adama ?
Even better...... Between Son, Rich, Perisic we've got the left covered anyway.

Malinovskyi has created 32 big chances in his last 2 full seasons.
To put that into perspective, over the same time period:
Lionel Messi has created 53
Kevin de Bruyne has created 35
Harry Kane has created 34
Angel di Maria has created 34
Trent Alexander-Arnold has created 33
Kylian Mbappe has created 32
Mo Salah has created 30
Karim Benzema has created 29
Dmitri Payet has created 29
Neymar has created 28
Memphis Depay has created 25
Son Heung-Min has created 24
Ivan Perisic has created 24
Milinkovic-Savic has created 21
James Maddison has created 17
Dejan Kulusevski has created 16
He is right up there with some of the best creative passers in world football. And doing so in a weaker team than basically all of them.

It's been a bad Summer for those dweebs.
They have not called a *single* transfer. Not one.
As someone who watches Serie A quite regularly, Malinovskyi is a great player. He was the replacement for Papu Gomez, and he thrived, filling the void that he left quality-wise (Gomez was also Atalanta's captain). Atalanta were a fun side with Muriel, Zapata, Pessina (who I really like, even though he got limited minutes) and Malinovskyi. Malinovskyi is a good presser, has a great shot, but isn't the best in the League at unlocking low-block defences. He's quite similar to Calhanoglu of Inter, although I'd assume Malinovskyi has a better conversion-rate than Calhanoglu in long-distance shots. Saying that though, I'd much rather have him than the Inter player, Paqueta (who I don't rate as highly because of his AC Milan tenure) or Madisson.
Sounds pretty much par for the course for those blaggers
They deserve a Ramsay Bolton treatment!
Sure he just started following them? I doubt the Romero part as he would have probably already been following him from their time playing together.. so may just mean nothing really..He's just started following Romero and Kane on instagram now, too.
Unfortunately, he’d be standing next to Harry as he smashed another one straight at the wall.
Malinovskyi would be a quite a decent signing, led Serie A in assists in 20/21 in only 1800 minutes. As noted he's got a left foot like a traction engine and is a set piece specialist. He's also won Serie A player of the month twice since May 2021, which is pretty impressive. The only other player to win it twice in the last two seasons is Hakan Calhanoglu. One time winners include Ronaldo, Zlatan, SMS, Lukaku, Insigne, Koulibaly, Vlahovic, Osimhen, Brozovic, and Tonali.
Gasperini loves to use him as impact sub to come in and change games, which I imagine is roughly what he'd do here. At Atalanta he basically plays the Kulusevski left sided inside forward role, they also play wingbacks. But he plays more centrally for Ukraine, in a midfield ahead of Zinchenko and Stepanenko (who is a standard #6).
Think he'd be a strong rotation option for us, which I imagine is what Conte and Paratici envision. Not quite Perisic, but similar profile in versatility and experience.
