Based on the comments from Poyet and their owners, I highly doubt any transfer for Malcom will be agreed in January, even if it is for a summer transfer. A deal could be struck in principle I suppose, but even the announcement of a transfer this month or before the end of the season would be pretty unhelpful during a relegation battle. Seems that we can forget about this one for now, unless we make them an offer that they can't refuse - but we don't generally make those offers.
If he is determined to leave then he is more likely to get his head down once things are set in stone. Otherwise it's going to be constant whispers in his ear from his agent, and non stop media speculation with journo's bringing it up at every given opportunity.
